-'''''{{StoryTitle}}''''' was the sixth audio story featuring the line up of the [[Fifth Doctor]], [[Peri Brown]] and [[Erimem]].  It sits almost exactly in the middle of the run of stories featuring the former [[Egyptian]] [[queen]]. Released in [[May]] [[2005]], it was the first audio written by [[Colin Brake]], who had authored several ''[[Doctor Who]]'' novels.

-''Crowd'' explored the notably [[George Orwell|Orwellian]] theme of individuality versus conformity. Indeed it could be viewed as a pastiche of {{wi|1984 (novel)|1984}}, in the same way that, say, ''[[The Brain of Morbius]]'' was an obvious homage to ''[[Frankenstein]]'' and ''[[Robot (TV story)|Robot]]'' evoked ''[[King Kong]]''.

+As the title suggests, the story is in some ways about whether the Doctor and Erimem really want to travel together and [[Peri]]'s struggle to stabilise them all into a coherent, three-person "TARDIS team".  However, the title has a double meaning.  It also refers to the people whom the Doctor and his friends meet.  Made acutely agoraphobic by the rules of their society, it's intensely difficult for even two of them to physically meet.  For them, three is very definitely a crowd.

 == Publisher's summary ==
 On an almost lifeless planet in a remote star system, Earth Colony [[Phoenix (Earth colony)|Phoenix]] is struggling to survive. The colonists, utterly dependent on [[transmat]] technology and unable to leave the security of their Habitat Domes, have developed severe [[agoraphobia]]... not to mention an inability to deal with visitors...
