The Five Companions was Big Finish's subscriber-free release for 2011.

Publisher's summary

Inside a cluster of fused-together derelict spaceships, four of the Doctor's oldest friends - and one of his newest ones - are lost and confused. They don't know how they got there or what they're meant to be doing - but as the place is infested with Daleks, Sontarans and dinosaurs, their first priority is staying alive.

To their collective relief, the Doctor turns up and has a reasonable idea of what's going on. If the six of them work together, they can escape this place and get home. But, unexpectedly, others may be working together to ensure they all die here...

Plot

References

  • Steven encountered the Sontarans when one of their scout ships crashed on the Elders' planet several years earlier in his personal timeline. This experience taught him that a Sontaran could be incapacitated by striking their probic vent.
  • A Tyrannosaurus rex is transported to the alternative Death Zone, where it proceeds to kill several Daleks before itself being exterminated.
  • The Doctor tells Polly that he tended not to refer to himself as a Time Lord during his first and second incarnations as he was then on the run from his people.
  • Of the eponymous five companions, Nyssa is the only one who never travelled with the First Doctor.
  • When the Doctor mentions to Polly that he is attempting to get into contact with the Capitol, she mistakenly believes that he is referring to the record label of the same name. He informs her that it is, in actuality, the seat of the Time Lords' power on Gallifrey.
  • Before being returned to their proper places in history, the five companions all accept that the Doctor will not be able to keep his promise to check up on them and that they will very likely never see him again.
