[edit] Plot

The Sixth Doctor and Peri attend a conference of lexicographers where an unfortunate murder has occurred.

The Omniverbum is a term used to describe the mythical longest word in existence. According to records, no one who has found the Omniverbum has lived to tell of it.

  • Peri — Nicola Bryant

  • Symposiarch Cawdrey — Oliver Hume

[edit] Notes

  • The title can also be read as Doctor Whoish as the cover is filled with words end with "-ish".
  • The Doctor is pressed into giving the conference attendees an humorous anecdote; the audience misses most, but returns to the Doctor telling the audience, "and then he said, 'Sausage? SAUSAGE!?' and ran out of the room" to much laughter. This seems to be a reference to the Blackadder episode Ink and Incapability, where Samuel Johnson (as played by Robbie Coltrane) makes the same exclamation at the episode's end, realizing he has left the word "sausage" out of his nascent dictionary. Both the Blackadder episode and this radio drama dealt with dictionaries and word-meanings.
  • Several sound effects for the lexisphere are re-used from the Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio series.
