Three's a Crowd was the sixth audio story featuring the line up of the Fifth Doctor, Peri Brown and Erimem. Released in May 2005, it was the first audio written by Colin Brake, who had authored several Doctor Who novels for the Second and Eighth Doctors.

It had notably Orwellian themes of individuals versus the state. Indeed it could be viewed as a pastiche of 1984, in the same way that, say, The Brain of Morbius was an obvious homage to Frankenstein and Robot evoked King Kong.

A major subplot was that of Erimem recovering from the unpleasant experiences of The Roof of the World. As the title suggests, the story is in some ways about whether the Doctor and Erimem really want to travel together, and whether Peri can successfully build a coherent three-person "TARDIS team". By the end of the story, the initially uneasy travelling companions seem at last settled with each other, ending a gentle story arc that had begun with Erimem's introduction in The Eye of the Scorpion.

Publisher's summary

On an almost lifeless planet in a remote star system, 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...

The TARDIS crew arrives on an apparently abandoned space station in orbit above the planet and soon discover that they and the remaining colonists are in the gravest danger.

To survive, the Fifth Doctor, Peri and Erimem must uncover the colony's darkest secrets before it is too late.

Something inhuman is stalking the colony...

...and it's hungry!
