'''''The Church and the Crown''''' was the thirty-eighth story in [[Big Finish Productions|Big Finish]]'s [[Main Range|monthly range]]. It was written by [[Cavan Scott]] and [[Mark Wright]] and featured [[Peter Davison]] as the [[Fifth Doctor]], [[Nicola Bryant]] as [[Peri Brown]] and [[Caroline Morris]] as [[Erimem]]. | |||
It was, broadly, a historical examination of the era of ''[[The Three Musketeers]]'', although it featured original [[musketeer]]s rather than those created by [[Alexandre Dumas]]. | |||
It featured Erimem's first journey in [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] and her second display of field-of-battle heroism. As with several other historicals in the first five years of [[Big Finish]]'s [[Big Finish Doctor Who audio stories|main ''Doctor Who'' line]], it was a so-called "pure" historical without any [[science fiction]] elements aside from the TARDIS. | |||
A net of conspiracy closing in... | It also gave Nicola Bryant an expanded acting opportunity, since it featured her as both Peri and [[Anne (Queen of France)|Queen Anne]]. Like [[Romana I]] before her in ''[[The Androids of Tara (TV story)|The Androids of Tara]]'', Peri had an exact [[doppelgänger]] in a royal family. | ||

The Doctor's purpose at this stage in his relationship with Erimem was to get her to a place of education, not necessarily to travel indefinitely with her. | ||

* The Doctor mentions that he was the protégé of the American escapologist [[Harry Houdini]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Planet of the Spiders (TV story)|Planet of the Spiders]]'') Prior to their arrival in [[1963]], his first incarnation and his granddaughter [[Susan Foreman]] met Houdini in the [[United States of America|United States]]. Houdini taught the Doctor how to perform sleight-of-hand tricks. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Sorcerer's Apprentice (novel)|The Sorcerer's Apprentice]]'') His [[Fourth Doctor|fourth incarnation]] had previously told the [[Iceni]] cook [[Bragnar]] that Houdini kept numerous lock picks on his person. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Wrath of the Iceni (audio story)|The Wrath of the Iceni]]'') He met Houdini again at an earlier point in his fifth incarnation, whilst travelling with [[Adric]], [[Tegan Jovanka|Tegan]] and [[Nyssa]].
