Publisher's summary
The Mind's Eye (A Three-Part Story)
This is a warning to all space farers. You must keep away from this planet. It's hostile, repeat, hostile.
On a planet with no name, the Doctor finds himself confronted by a faulty memory and some killer plants.
In a distant galaxy, Erimem leads a troubled empire.
Back on Earth, Peri tells her son about the good old days when she used to travel with a man called the Doctor.

Notes
- This story was previewed in issue 389 of Doctor Who Magazine and featured an illustration by Cliff Robinson. Notably in the illustration in the panel featuring Peri on the wall are two Big Finish covers: this story's and The Bride of Peladon.
- The Mind's Eye is three episodes long. The remaining episode on the second disc is Mission of the Viyrans.
- This audio drama was recorded on 25 and 27 July 2007 at The Moat Studios.
- REF: AHistory arbitrarily places this story in 2850, as it's set in the time of the Earth Empire.
Continuity
- Kyropites and Jekylls are again seen in AUDIO: Brotherhood of the Daleks.
- In her dream, Peri "remembers" Erimem being killed by "crocodile things." (AUDIO: Three's a Crowd)
- The Doctor learned how to pick locks from the American escapologist Harry Houdini. (PROSE: The Sorcerer's Apprentice, TV: Planet of the Spiders)
- The Doctor and his companions again experience dreams induced by plants in TV: Amy's Choice.
- The fact Peri is depicted speaking to a son suggests this is one of the different versions of Peri Brown created due to Time Lord interference in her apparent death in TV: Mindwarp, as later revealed in AUDIO: Peri and the Piscon Paradox.
