The Deep (audio story)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
The Deep was a 2010 Big Finish audio short story read by Peter Davison and featuring the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa. It was likely most notable for being the first piece of Doctor Who fiction written by the award-winning author of young adult fiction, Ally Kennen.
Summary
When Nyssa attempts to fix the chameleon circuit, the TARDIS turns into a whale. Can the Doctor and she recapture it and turn it back into the old TARDIS before it's stuck in the form of a whale forever?

- The Doctor is said to have a symbiotic relationship with the TARDIS, as implied in many stories, including Journey's End, The End of the World and others.
- The rhythm of the Doctor's double heartsbeat is used to call the whale-TARDIS under water.
- The Doctor mentions having a TARDIS manual, as seen in The Pirate Planet and Vengeance on Varos, and wonders how Nyssa could possibly have begun repairing the chameleon circuit without it.
