Wanderer Who: The Duty of Fools | 1 | Series 1

From a study beyond the universe, I've been watching a Time Lord die-and seeing someone new refuse to mourn. The Wanderer has spent three centuries saving lives with kindness, a sonic probe, and a red phone booth bigger on the inside. But kindness comes at a price, and when that price is paid in the frozen vacuum of space, the figure who steps from the golden regeneration light is entirely different. Tougher. Guarded. An American accent replacing the once-gentle BBC English. And no intention of looking back. Twenty-three years ago, Frank Hartwell journeyed across time and space with the most extraordinary person he'd ever met. Then she left, never to return. He built a life around her absence-opened a café in Oakland, learned to live with waiting for someone who wasn't coming back. Until the impossible sound echoes in the alley behind his shop.
