The Prisoner's Dilemma (audio story)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Publisher's Summary
Two prisoners meet in a prison cell. Zara is searching for the segments of the Key to Time; she was only born yesterday but already she’s killed hundreds of people. Ace is more ambitious: she was going to kill everyone on the planet.
What have they got against the people of Erratoon? They go peaceably about their simple assignments, beneath their artificial sky. They share their meals and leisure time and they never ask questions. Are they even real?
Ace and Zara will only survive if they can trust each other. Or perhaps if they sell each other out... If not their awful punishment is to become just like everyone else.
Cast
References
- Zara mentions the Tracers, The Key To Time, the White Guardian and the Black Guardian.
- Ace mentions meeting a man made out of licourise, being quite an expert on making explosions, Lurana, the Eye of Orion and having Christmas Dinner at Cheldon Bonniface.
Notes
- Unlike other Big Finish audios, this story is set during the New Adventures era. Berince Summerfield is mentioned, but not named.
Continuity
- Zinc uses a Time Ring.
- Ace's narration probably takes place after Lungbarrow, but before Death Comes to Time as, according to the Doctor Who Reference Guide, Ground Zero takes place after Death Comes to Time. This might be during her time on Gallifrey which was planned for the unmade Season 27. This might be to an old companion of the Doctor, maybe Romana or Leela
