The Blue Tooth was the third story in the first series of The Companion Chronicles. It was produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Nigel Fairs and featured Liz Shaw. It was notable for being the one of the few stories to pit the Third Doctor against the Cybermen. Until the publication of The Piper in 2015, this was the only Third Doctor story to use the Cybermen as its main antagonists.
Publisher's summary
"I suppose that was one of the Doctor's most endearing qualities: the ability to make the bizarre and the terrifying seem utterly normal."
When Liz Shaw's friend Jean goes missing, the Doctor and U.N.I.T. are drawn to the scene to investigate. Soon Liz discovers a potential alien invasion that will have far-reaching affects on her life... and the Doctor is unexpectedly re-united with an old enemy...
Plot
to be added
Cast
- Liz Shaw - Caroline John
- The Cybermen - Nicholas Briggs
References
UNIT
- The electricity board threatens to cut off the power at UNIT HQ because the Doctor is using large amounts of power for his experiment on the TARDIS.
Individuals
- Liz was at the University of Cambridge in the 1960s alongside Jean Baisemore.
- Liz doesn't like dentists.
Notes
- This story was recorded at The Moat Studios.
- This marks the first appearances of Liz Shaw, Sergeant Benton and Captain Mike Yates in an audio drama.
- To date, this is the only appearance of the Cybermen in the Companion Chronicles.
- Aside from a brief appearance in AUDIO: Zagreus, this is the first Big Finish audio drama to feature the Third Doctor.
- Liz refers to Mike Yates as "Captain Yates", which is at odds with his rank as given in PROSE: The Scales of Injustice.
- This story takes place after TV: Inferno.
- Unlike most Companion Chronicles, this episode is divided into four 15-20 minute parts as opposed to two 30 minute parts. As a result, it is slightly longer than most single-disc releases.
Continuity
- Liz says she lived with her mother whilst studying for her undergraduate degree. (AUDIO: The Last Post)
