Three's a Crowd (audio story): Difference between revisions

'''''{{StoryTitle}}''''' was the sixth audio story featuring the line up of the [[Fifth Doctor]], [[Peri Brown]] and [[Erimem]]. Released in [[May]] [[2005]], it was the first audio written by [[Colin Brake]], who had authored several ''[[Doctor Who]]'' novels for the [[Second Doctor|Second]] and [[Eighth Doctor]]s.

It had notably [[George Orwell|Orwellian]] themes of individuals versus the state. Indeed it could be viewed as a pastiche of {{wi|1984 (novel)|1984}}, in the same way that, say, ''[[The Brain of Morbius]]'' was an obvious homage to ''[[Frankenstein]]'' and ''[[Robot (TV story)|Robot]]'' evoked ''[[King Kong]]''.   

A major subplot was that of [[Erimem]] recovering from the unpleasant experiences of ''[[The Roof of the World (audio story)|The Roof of the World]]''.  As the title suggests, the story is in some ways about whether the Doctor and Erimem really want to travel together, and whether [[Peri]] can successfully build a coherent three-person "TARDIS team".  By the end of the story, the initially uneasy travelling companions seem at last settled with each other, ending a gentle story arc that had begun with Erimem's introduction in ''[[The Eye of the Scorpion]]''.
