''Crowd'' explored the notably [[George Orwell|Orwellian]] theme of individuality versus conformity. 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]]''. | ''Crowd'' explored the notably [[George Orwell|Orwellian]] theme of individuality versus conformity.

As the title suggests, the story is in some ways about whether the Doctor and Erimem really want to travel together, and [[Peri]]'s struggle to stabilise them all into a coherent, three-person "TARDIS team". However, the title has a double meaning. It also refers to the people whom the Doctor and his friends meet. Made acutely agoraphobic by the rules of their society, it's intensely difficult for even two of them to physically meet. For them, three is very definitely a crowd. | As the title suggests, the story is in some ways about whether the Doctor and Erimem really want to travel together, and [[Peri]]'s struggle to stabilise them all into a coherent, three-person "TARDIS team".
