Companion Piece was the second story in the audio anthology Ravenous 3, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Matt Fitton and featured Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor, Nicola Walker as Liv Chenka, Hattie Morahan as Helen Sinclair.
Publisher's summary
When the evil Time Lord known as the Nine comes across a rare and valuable item floating in the space-time vortex, his acquisitive nature means he can't resist the urge to complete the set.
Soon a wicked scheme is underway. Only the Doctor's friends – past, present and future – will be able to stop him.
But without the Doctor around will even the combined skills of Liv, Helen, River Song, Bliss and Charley be enough to save the day?

References
- The Doctor told River Song about the Nine, "as in the One and the Two, etc".
- The Nine steals Romana from a time when she is President of Gallifrey, Jamie from a point some time after he travelled with the Doctor, and Adric from a point mid-way through his travels with the Doctor.
- When the Nine says he's bringing Charley some company, she asks if it is C'rizz, but the Nine states that he intends to leave that maniac alone for a while.
- The Nine expresses distaste for River identifying a penguin as a companion, with River arguing that the penguin was perfectly valid from a certain perspective, a metafctional nod to the fact that Frobisher was a comic companion who has made appearances in a novel and a couple of audios that are not directly related to other companions' experiences.
- The Nine steals River Song's vortex manipulator.
Notes
- The Nine constantly moving Charley between corridors eight and six is a reference to her having travelled between the Sixth and Eighth Doctors.
- Leela, Jo and Charley last appeared together retrospectively in The Light at the End, although in Light only Leela and Charley met and this time around none of them were aware of each other.
- Despite not interacting in this story, Leela and River Song shared an adventure in The Eighth of March, a box set which celebrated International Women's Day.
- This episode marks the first appearance of Bliss outside of the Time War; before the Time War disrupted history, Bliss studied robotics and computer science rather than temporal mechanics.
- Ajjaz Awad makes her debut as Katarina in this story, when she 'talks' to the Nine after he tries to read her mind due to the artron energy she absorbed in the TARDIS left her mind partially active even after death.
- This is a Doctor-lite story.
Continuity
- River has the Nine kidnap a penguin companion of the Doctor's. (COMIC: The Shape Shifter)
- The Nine asks Romana how she escaped from E-Space. (TV: Warriors' Gate)
- River recalls that the Doctor met Bliss during a "complex temporal event" (AUDIO: The Starship of Theseus)
- River retrieves Katarina's dead body, as the Doctor didn't get a chance to do so. (TV: The Daleks' Master Plan)
- Jamie claims having only met the Doctor once and that he barely knew him. (TV: The Highlanders) The Nine then asserts that this isn't 100% accurate. (TV: The War Games)
