- You may be looking for the unproduced TV story of the same name.
Earth Aid was a release in The Lost Stories range, featuring the Seventh Doctor.
Publisher's summary
Welcome aboard the Space Vessel Vancouver. Its mission: to guard a vast shipment of grain from Earth to the planet Safenesthome.
Its Captain is called Ace. She seems a little unsure of herself. In fact, some might almost think she was new to the job...
Its medical officer is called simply "the Doctor", and he's perhaps not all he seems.
When mysterious ships target the Vancouver, Ace and the Doctor are pushed to the limit. Meanwhile, there's something nasty in the grain containers. And it's not very happy....

Notes
- Raine Creevy is based on Raine Cunningham, the companion who was intended to come after Ace in the unproduced season 27. A feature in DWM 255 gave the character the name Kate Tollinger, but according to an interview with script editor Andrew Cartmel in DWM 433, the character was always intended to be named Raine. Cartmel had since discovered someone of the name Raine Cunningham existed in real life and changed the character's family name.
- This audio drama was recorded on 4 and 5 October 2010.
Continuity
- The Doctor, Ace and Raine previously encountered the Metatraxi in the Kafiristan in the Middle East in October 1989. (AUDIO: Crime of the Century)
- Ace mentions that she almost became a cheetah on one occasion. (TV: Survival)
- The Doctor mentions that he has previously encountered another sentient planet, namely Symbios during his sixth incarnation in 2010. (AUDIO: The Crimes of Thomas Brewster)
- Ace is once again angered at being called small. (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks)
- Raine mentions that it's usually her that rescues the Doctor from a safe. (AUDIO: Crime of the Century)
