About this episode
The episode explores a mystery involving a book that drives readers to suicide and the nature of reality.
What would you do if the Pope and Secretary General of the United Nations showed you proof that all of reality is an illusion? If you’re Bill, you get annoyed that your first date with Penny is interrupted – both times! Deep inside the archives of the Vatican is a book called Veritas. Everyone who reads it commits suicide soon after. The Doctor is determined to solve this mystery. Soon he, Nardole, and Bill are investigating corpse-like mummies, scientists celebrating the end of the world, and the realization that nothing and no one is as real as they seem. Or possibly, even real at all. e-mail us at whonewpodcast@gmail.com Listen and Subscribe to us on iTunes or Youtube Visit our website at www.whonewpodcast.com
