Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- An illustrated preview for this story appeared in DWM 391. It was illustrated by Cliff Robinson.
- This was the final Fifth Doctor audio drama released in the main range to feature Peri. However, the Fifth Doctor and Peri subsequently appeared together in AUDIO: Peri and the Piscon Paradox, Rulebook and The Meaning of Red.
- This audio drama was recorded on 26 and 27 July 2007 at the Moat Studios.[1]
- This release comes with Behind The Scenes Interviews extras split across both CDs. They are unabridged in the Big Finish app.
- This story incorporates pre-titles sequences prior to each episode (barring the first episode), one of only a few Big Finish audio dramas to do so at the time.
- This story is set between Planet of Fire and The Caves of Androzani, and after The Mind's Eye and Mission of the Viyrans.[1]
- Peter Davison claimed he didn't know this was to be Erimem's departure story until the recording sessions.[2]
- This is the final time Erimem was played by Caroline Morris, and Morris' final performance to date for Big Finish Productions.
Continuity[[edit] | [edit source]]
- This is the Doctor's fourth known visit to Peladon, having previously visited the planet in his third incarnation in TV: The Curse of Peladon, AUDIO: The Prisoner of Peladon and TV: The Monster of Peladon. The Seventh Doctor returned to Peladon some years later in PROSE: Legacy.
- Peri refers to her previous encounter with the Ice Warriors on their native Mars. (AUDIO: Red Dawn) Following the Doctor's regeneration into his sixth incarnation, the two of them encountered the Ice Warriors for a third time on Magnus in the 24th century. (AUDIO: Mission to Magnus)
- The Citadel of Peladon reminds the Doctor and Erimem of Castle Dracula. (AUDIO: Son of the Dragon)
- The Doctor previously encountered Osirans in TV: Pyramids of Mars and PROSE: The Sands of Time.
- It is because of the events in AUDIO: The Mind's Eye that the Doctor understands Erimem's choice in staying with Pelleas.
- Erimem wears a signet ring displaying the emblem of Sekhmet as a talisman against the god. She also prays to Osiris when the Doctor seems gravely injured. However, she previously claimed that she did not believe in the Egyptian gods. (AUDIO: The Eye of the Scorpion)
- The Doctor previously met Alpha Centauri on Peladon on three occasions during his third incarnation. (TV: The Curse of Peladon, AUDIO: The Prisoner of Peladon, TV: The Monster of Peladon) He later encountered it, once again on Peladon, during his seventh incarnation. (PROSE: Legacy)
- Near death in part four, the Fifth Doctor says, "Sorry, Peri, I don't think I can make it." The line presages the coming usage in The Caves of Androzani — but this time Peri answers back, "I'm not through with you yet!"
- After Erimem leaves to marry Pelleas, Peri reassures the Doctor that she has no intention of leaving "to marry some alien king." (TV: The Ultimate Foe)
- The Doctor says it's been a long time since he's heard the name "Pandora." In fact, Pandora was the name of one of the presidents of Gallifrey. (AUDIO: Lies et al.)
- The Third Doctor encountered another Arcturan in TV: The Curse of Peladon.
- The Doctor is familiar with the Osirans. (TV: Pyramids of Mars)
