Curious about discovering more information concerning his family tree, the Doctor takes Guy to the early 21st Century to meet his grandfather, who just happens to be someone the Doctor knows well - Rainor Vance. When they arrive, Guy is mistaken for his grandfather, and both he and the Doctor are embroiled in the latest scientific research project being undertaken at the base - a study of latent telepathic traits in humans. Why is Guy featuring in the dreams of people he has never met? What suspicious activity is being conducted on the base? And what do plastic shop dummies have to do with the greatest threat the human race has faced?

Popular myths
Things to listen out for...
- This serial debuts a brand new version of the Doctor Who theme, created specially for BTR by US-based composer Robert Warnock. This was the first original rendition of the theme BTR had used on its audio dramas.
Things you probably never knew...
- Second Sight was the first serial recorded at the Melton Road studio, which would become a new base of operations for BTR – a move once described by David Hutchison as “leaving Alexandra Palace for Lime Grove”. Melton Road would also feature as a filming location in the Short Trips and Side Steps episode Christmas Comedy Special.
