'''''The Roof of the World''''' was | '''''The Roof of the World''''' was the fifty-ninth story in [[Big Finish]]'s [[Main Range|monthly range]]. It was written by [[Adrian Rigelsford]] and featured [[Peter Davison]] as the [[Fifth Doctor]], [[Nicola Bryant]] as [[Peri Brown]] and [[Caroline Morris]] as [[Erimem]]. | ||
It was released in 2004, a few days after its author, Adrian Rigelsford, was convicted of stealing thousands of photographs from the ''Daily Mail'' and reselling them for personal profit, and sentenced to eighteen months imprisonment.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/cambridgeshire/3839733.stm "'Cunning' photo thief is jailed"] news.bbc.co.uk, 25 June 2004</ref> Thus, it is notable for being the only licensed ''Doctor Who'' story to have been released while its author was serving a sentence for a criminal offence. | |||
From a narrative standpoint, it was one of the earlier adventures with [[Erimem]]. It explored, in part, her ability to cope with [[time travel]] and her burgeoning relationship with [[Peri Brown]]. It continued [[Big Finish Productions]]' tradition of giving narrative relevance to the [[Fifth Doctor]]'s love of [[cricket]], something that was mostly unexplored on television. It was also one of the few ''Doctor Who'' stories to be set in [[South Asia]] during the [[British Raj]]. | From a narrative standpoint, it was one of the earlier adventures with [[Erimem]].
