It's been more than three months since our last update - but it's now time to resume the ongoing story of the ninth season of Lady Penelope's Odyssey, with a two-parter set in an alternate 17th century which our Time Lady hadn't visited since season four...
Episode 9: Should Old
Acquaintance be Forgot
The
Time Lady decides to catch up with her dear friends Christopher Marlowe and
Louise-Athénée, whom she has not seen in ages - three regenerations, actually. With a nostalgic Lord Ulysses at her
side, Penelope returns to the alternate timeline of Reconquista and Lord of
Misrule. A tale of absent friends and old acquaintances. To be continued, of course.
Episode 10: The Banquet of
Ashes
1606, Marlowe's alternate timeline. Penelope and her companions prepare to enter the secret vaults of the Vatican where their friend Louise-Athénée is imprisoned. Who is the mysterious Red Monk? Why is the heretic Giordano Bruno still alive? What sinister force manipulates the mind of Pope Victor IV? A tale of secrets and lies, of old friends and old foes.
Like season eight, season nine will be given a title in restrospect (cannot think of one yet) - but can already be broken down into three distinct tiers of variable length:
First Tier: Travels with Trevark
Lady Penelope travels through space and time accompanied by the Neo-Time Lord-in-training Trevark, to help him complete his apprenticeship.
9.01: City of Sighs
9.02: Tinker, Time Lord, Soldier, Spy
9.03: Days of Empire
9.04: "I am a Gallifreyan"
9.05: Last of the Mentors
9.06: Interesting Times
Second Tier: Returns & Reunions
Each of the following episode features the return of (or a reunion with) former companions of either the Doctor or Lady Penelope herself.
9.07: Stolen Pasts
9.08: Saving Zoe
9.09: Should Old Acquaintance be Forgot
9.10: The Banquet of Ashes
The third and final tier will be called (spoilers!) Lords of E-Space. See you soon on the other side of a CVE!
