Sandman", was popularized by the group The Chordettes among others in 1954. The Morpheus hologram also uses the term 'in the arms of Morpheus', a phrase meaning to be in a deep sleep. Ĭlara asks if the Morpheus Machine is actually named after Morpheus, the god of dreams. The title is in reference to the Shakespeare play, Macbeth: "Sleep no more! Macbeth does murder sleep" which the Doctor quotes during the episode.
SLEEP NO MORE DOCTOR WHO SERIAL
Īccording to writer Mark Gatiss, the Doctor's mention of "the Great Catastrophe" that befell humankind is referring to the collision between the Earth and the Sun described in the Season 21 serial Frontios. When debating with Clara about naming the creatures, the Doctor mutters "It's like the Silurians all over again", referring to an old adversary that first appeared in Doctor Who and the Silurians (1970). Rassmussen explains he wanted to ensure the video the viewer is watching was seen by others, as its glitches contain the Morpheus signal and will allow it to spread. Rassmussen reveals to the viewer he is a Sandman, being pulled apart by Neptune's gravity. The Doctor, Clara, and Nagata escape in the TARDIS. The Doctor comments that the inconsistencies in how Morpheus is spread along with the gravity shields being powered down seems to be contrived like a story. The Doctor engineers their escape and destroys the gravity shields, sending the station and ship into Neptune. Rassmussen plans to use the ship to return to Triton and release Morpheus there with the Sandman, which he says is now spread by spores. They make their way to the ship but Rassmussen is alive, trapping them in a room with a Sandman. The Doctor silently monitors the Sandmen and realises that Rassmussen is making them blind by hijacking the visual receptors in the rheum in the Sandmen and in the eyes of anyone who has used Morpheus to collate video footage. Chopra, Deep-Ando, and 474 are also killed during their escape. During this, a Sandman appears to consume Rassmussen. The gravity shields are powered down before the Doctor fixes them.
The Doctor suspects that Morpheus has transformed the rheum in the corner of the eye into a carnivorous lifeform which digested the crew. He explains he is the inventor of the pods, known as Morpheus, which are machines that send signals to the brains of the humans inside to compress a month's worth of sleep into a few minutes, and the pods on Le Verrier are more advanced than on Triton. They take safety in a lab filled with large pods, and discover Rassmussen. The Sandmen, as shown at the Doctor Who Experience. The group is chased by "Sandmen", humanoid forms composed of dust. Aboard Le Verrier, the four soldiers, Nagata, Chopra, Deep-Ando, and 474, discover the station empty save for the Twelfth Doctor and Clara, passing off as assessors. When communication with Le Verrier is lost, a rescue ship is dispatched from Triton. Rassmussen warns the viewer not to watch the video, but says its found footage will explain the events that have occurred. The viewer is addressed by Gagan Rassmussen, a researcher aboard Le Verrier Lab, a space station in orbit around Neptune in the 38th century, through a glitch-filled video transmitted across the Solar System. In the episode, Rassmussen manufactures a perilous adventure involving Sandmen-humanoid creatures made of rheum-to make more people watch the video and allowing the spread of an electronic signal to other people's brains that will create more Sandmen. The episode is a found footage video engineered and narrated by Gagan Rassmussen ( Reece Shearsmith), a crew member of a space station orbiting Neptune in the 38th century.
