Line 2:
Tracking a nexus point in time, the Doctor meets Dr Evelyn Smythe, a history lecturer whose own history seems to be rapidly vanishing.
The Doctor must travel back to Tudor times to stabilise the nexus and save Evelyn's life. But there he meets the Queen of England and must use all his skills of diplomacy to avoid ending up on the headman's block...
Written by Jacqueline Rayner, The Marian Conspiracy was the first Doctor Who Audio story to introduce an original companion, [[Cool Old Lady|Dr. Evelyn Smythe]]. It is considered one of the first "good" stories of the [[Big Finish Doctor Who|Big Finish]] range, and also one of the rare instances of a pure Historical story, unseen since [[Doctor Who/Recap/S19

* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: Being her first story (and the first instance of a new audio companion), Evelyn gets hers when she, during her first trip in the TARDIS, doesn't let [[Insufferable Genius|the Sixth Doctor]] talk over or boss her around while deflating any of his attempts to puff himself up with a self-serving story.
Line 23 ⟶ 24:
* [[The Woobie]]: William Leaf is worthy of a few "awwww"'s.
