Other Lives was the seventy-seventh story in Big Finish's monthly range. It was written by Gary Hopkins and featured Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor, India Fisher as Charlotte Pollard and Conrad Westmaas as C'rizz.
Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
Scene of the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations.
Scene also of a plot to unseat the government, dethrone the monarch and start a republic.
If the Duke of Wellington himself is to be believed...
While the Doctor and Charley are drawn into the murky world of nineteenth-century politics, C'rizz struggles to maintain his dignity against growing odds.
What begins as an attempt to prevent murder quickly becomes a desperate race to avert revolution. Separated from the TARDIS, the travellers are left to wonder if they'll get their own lives back or be forever entangled with the lives of others.
And who is Mrs Georgina Marlowe? What need does she feel the Doctor can satisfy?

Continuity[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The Second Doctor previously met the Duke of Wellington in September 1805 and May and June 1815. (PROSE: World Game) Later in his personal timeline, the Doctor visited the Duke in 1816 and they went on a trip to Brighton, where they met the Prince Regent. (PROSE: Players) As was the case with his second incarnation, the Sixth Doctor was present at the Battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815. The same was true of Davros and the Daleks. (AUDIO: The Curse of Davros)
- The Fifth Doctor once attempted to take his companions Nyssa and Tegan Jovanka to the Great Exhibition as "a treat" in the wake of Adric's death but the TARDIS instead materialised on the tarmac at Heathrow Airport in 1982. (TV: Time-Flight)
- The Doctor once again observes that "sleep is for tortoises." (TV: The Talons of Weng-Chiang)
- Charley previously visited the Crystal Palace as a child in the 1910s or 1920s. (AUDIO: The Next Life)
- C'rizz is forced to perform in Jacob Crackles' freakshow in the same manner as Captain Kybo in Jonathan Jaggers' circus in 1884 (AUDIO: Judoon in Chains) and the alien creatures in Thaddeus P. Winklemeyer's freakshow in Buzzard Creek, Arizona in 1905. (AUDIO: Freakshow)
- During his eleventh incarnation, the Doctor would later return to the Great Exhibition in the company of Amy Pond and Rory Williams and encounter the Hypothetical Gentleman. On that occasion, he mentioned that he had to be careful not to run into himself. (COMIC: Hypothetical Gentleman)
- The Doctor and his companions agree to meet at Oslers Crystal Fountain. The Seventh Doctor previously dealt with an incident involving the fountain. (COMIC: Claws of the Klathi!)
