A Heart On Both Sides was the eighth story of the seventh season of Big Finish Productions’ Short Trips series.
This story was recorded on 22 November 2016.
Even though the Eighth Doctor is in the story, he travels incognito and is never directly referred to as “the Doctor” throughout the story. However, Nyssa recalls travelling with “her Doctor” and in the story the Doctor identifies himself as being three regenerations after travelling with Nyssa.
The Doctor wakes and sits upright, a strip of light across his eyes. (The TV Movie)
