(Reorganised Notes. Linked to Erimem's page in "final time Erimem was played". Changed "Davison claimed" to "Davison said". Added detail to Timeline Placement Note that while the Big Finish page says this takes place after Mission of the Viyrans, it has to take place before as Mission refers to Erimem leaving. Renamed footnote to Bride of Peladon's Big Finish page to specify 'Backstage' tab. Lowercased the "the" in "Behind The Scenes Interviews Extras" footnotes.)

The Bride of Peladon was the one hundred and fourth story in Big Finish's monthly range. It was written by Barnaby Edwards and featured Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor, Nicola Bryant as Peri Brown and Caroline Morris as Erimem.

Released in 2008, it was the final audio story featuring Morris as Erimem and (as evident in the title) sees a return to the planet Peladon, which was last a major feature in a story in the 1994 Virgin New Adventures novel Legacy.
