Nah nah. Small village. People tormented by visions of things - regrets and that - no Valeyard, just a reference to him. Lots of soul searching from the Doctor. One of the characters is (in a post-modern way) an actor at an old peoples' home who played the equivalent of Doctor Who in a 60s television show.
Love and War - is that one with strange plant things in it, and the Doctor sets Ace's new love interest up to die horribly?
I always enjoyed the scene (in L&W) in the communal intarweb dreamtime VR thing the dirty thieving gyppo pikeys had rigged up - with impromptu appearance from Vic Reeves. "What's at the end of the race, Ace?" Only slightly incongruous...
Ah, after a spot of looking around I suspect you're thinking of Head Games. Does this ring a bell? other possibilities include Strange England and Human Nature. Unfortunately I've never read any of them, so can't narrow it down more than that...
