Publisher's summary[[edit] | edit source]
"Tonight, I am going to tell you the story of the Prisoner of Peladon, and of the time when a friend and protector returned to our planet. A man called... the Doctor."
The planet Peladon has joined the Galactic Federation, and has undergone a painful period of change. Still eager to embrace alien culture, King Peladon has welcomed refugee Ice Warriors to his world — innocent creatures that are fleeing the New Martian Republic.
But, as an old friend returns to the capitol, there is murder in the refugee camps. Could the truth lie in an ancient legend?

Notes[[edit] | edit source]
- This audio drama was recorded on 2 June 2009 at the Moat Studios.
- It was released on 25 September 2009.[1]
- This story was told from King Peadon's perspective. This was one of two Companion Chronicles stories to be told from the perspective of characters often not considered to be companions of the Doctor, the other being The Mahogany Murderers (although Jago and Litefoot had since become the Sixth Doctor's companions in The Sixth Doctor Adventures audio range).
- This audio drama was directed by Nicola Bryant, who is best known for playing the Fifth and Sixth Doctor's companion Peri Brown.
- Until the release of Landbound, this was the only Big Finish audio story to feature the Third Doctor travelling without a companion or any member of UNIT.
- This story is set between The Green Death and The Time Warrior.
- As this story details the Doctor's second chronological visit to Peladon, The Monster of Peladon details his third chronological visit.
- This is a rare Peladon story to not feature Aggedor.
