Thicker Than Water was the seventy-third monthly Doctor Who audio story produced by Big Finish Productions. Featuring the Sixth Doctor, Melanie Bush and Evelyn Smythe, it was a sequel to Arrangements for War. This story is set following Evelyn's first departure from travelling with the Doctor, which is presented in flashbacks in this episode and was previously briefly alluded to in The Juggernauts.
Publisher's summary
Three years after Világ was all but laid waste by the Killorans, the Doctor is back alongside a different companion. And a lot has changed.
Now elected Principal Triumvir, head of a tripartite government, Rossiter is working to secure a peaceful future for the planet by researching the technology the Killorans left behind. But he has to contend with opposition from his daughter, Sofia, who heads a public campaign demanding the destruction of all alien artefacts.
Politics has caused a rift between father and daughter, and as if that weren't enough, Sofia doesn't approve of her new stepmother either. Emotions soon boil over into violence — violence that seems to have gripped the entire city.
Friendships bind people close, but they say that blood is...

Notes
- This account of Mel's first meeting with Evelyn, along with Evelyn's post-TARDIS life, is in conflict with that offered in the novel Instruments of Darkness.

- Along with the audio stories The Sirens of Time, Zagreus, The Wormery, AUDIO: Project: Lazarus, The Four Doctors and The Light at the End, this is one of seven Big Finish audio dramas in which both Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy appear.
- Although the Seventh Doctor discovered that Hex was the son of Cassie Schofield in the audio story The Harvest (which was released in June 2004), this information was not revealed to either Evelyn or the audience until this story.
- This audio drama was recorded on 27 and 28 June 2005 at The Moat Studios.
Continuity
- This is a sequel to Arrangements for War. This story takes place three years afterwards.
- Sofia Rossiter was the best friend of Princess Krisztina. (AUDIO: Arrangements for War)
- Evelyn tells Mel about her encounters with the Daleks. (AUDIO: The Apocalypse Element, AUDIO: Jubilee), she also mentions mutant vampire hunters. (AUDIO: Project: Twilight, Project: Lazarus)
- The Sixth Doctor mentions his aggressive post-regenerative phase. (TV: The Twin Dilemma)
- Whereas Evelyn saw the Seventh Doctor from a distance in The 100 Days of the Doctor, she does not appear to recognise him in this story, though she correctly guesses from his manner that he is a future incarnation of the Doctor.

- The Seventh Doctor informs Evelyn that his companion Hex is in actuality "Little Tommy", the son of Cassie Schofield, whom they previously met in AUDIO: Project: Twilight and AUDIO: Project: Lazarus. Having seen him from afar in AUDIO: The 100 Days of the Doctor, Evelyn would later meet Hex formally in A Death in the Family.
- The Seventh Doctor tells Evelyn that he stumbled across Hex, who chose to travel with him of his own volition. (AUDIO: The Harvest)
- Shortly before travelling to Világ, the Seventh Doctor dropped Ace and Hex off in Monte Carlo in 1966 and instructed them to steal the Veiled Leopard while the Fifth Doctor's companions Peri Brown and Erimem were simultaneously trying to prevent it from being stolen. He briefly conversed with his past self and was observed doing so by Peri and Erimem, who remained unaware of his identity. Peri described him "as a kooky little guy in a weird pullover." (AUDIO: The Veiled Leopard)
