Rose Tyler: The Dimension Cannon: The Flood:
The Flood is the second episode of Rose Tyler: Dimension Cannon from Big Finish.
Written by Lisa McMullin.
The Flood refers to the world that Rose and Clive arrived in where it hasn't stopped raining since 1982. Perhaps not a coincidence that 1982 just happens to be Billie Piper's birth year.
Rose and Clive venture on their separate ways in their search for the Doctor.
Whilst on her own, Rose meets Rob and learns from him of the technology bans.
The consequence of these bans meant that there are no televisions and the Internet with the populace only getting their news on radio and in the papers.
There are also no mobile phones and Rob was shocked to see Rose having one and this leads to Rob taking Rose home to meet his father as he has great interest in technology.
To Rose's shock, Rob's father is Pete Tyler!
This means that Rob, Rob Tyler, is this world's version, albeit male, of Rose.
Meanwhile Clive goes to meet his father's counterpart in this world and the latter is played by Dan Starkey (Strax).
However Mr Finch tells Clive that he doesn't have a son and isn't married.
Moving on from this, Clive then attends a meeting of UFO believers where he meets Caroline although she went there by mistake.
Didn't realised it until it was point out by Rose later on that Caroline is Clive's wife in Rose's world.
Caroline is played by Elli Garnett and as I looked it up afterwards it is the same woman who played her in Rose.
As Mark Benton (Clive) and Garnett had reprised, well more or less, their characters from Rose, I decided to look up Adam McCoy who had played the Finch's unnamed son in the said TV episode.
it seems that McCoy was a child actor who did not continue acting into adulthood as he did only a couple of things after Rose before his apparent acting retirement.
Rose, on a limb, decides to tell this world's Pete and Rob about her being from a parallel world, that Pete is her father and Rob is her counterpart of this world.
Remarkably Pete and Rob believes Rose and Rose learns from them that they were associates of the Agency and they had a contact who suddenly went missing.
Before the contact's disappearance, the contact had planned to place a bug in the Prime Minister's office.
Like in the world in the previous episode The Endless Night, the British Prime Minister of this world is also Margo Kinnear played by Julia Hills.
Prime Minister Kinnear had a brief role in The Endless Night, whereas she got something more in The Flood.
Rose and Rob goes ahead with the contact's plan in bugging Kinnear's office. This is when Rob's reveals the contact's first name which took me aback and it did not surprise me what her surname was revealed to be later on.
Horrifying what Rose and Rob learned from listening to Kinnear's phone conversation with the US President.
Quite a grim note for Rose and Clive to leave this world in and especially harrowing for Clive as he just found Caroline and he can't take her with him.
Quite a fascinating episode although there is one thing that perplex me.
Rob says that the opposition is led by Harriet Jones and Rose says that she voted for her in her world.
How could Rose had voted for Harriet as Harriet being Prime Minister came as a surprise to her in The Christmas Invasion.
Unless she meant the Harriet Jones of the world that she (Rose) got trapped in.
