Dan Starkey’s Short Trips debut is designed to disorient. “Hopefully the listener is thrown and confused”, says Dan, with a smile. “It starts with a character called Perry – not the Peri we know and love. He’s male, he seems to be a soldier, and he’s tramping through some icy wilderness. It’s all told in the present tense, and there’s this idea of a slightly shifting, rootless consciousness floating around in time. This is interspersed with a much more conventional past-tense narrative, which is a Sixth Doctor and Peri adventure – they find themselves on a spaceport in the future, tracking down some temporal anomalies. It was nice to be able to play with those different tones.
