Psychodrome is a Big Finish Productions audio drama based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who.

Contents

It is part of the Fifth Doctor boxset released in August 2014 and is the first audio adventure to feature Matthew Waterhouse as Adric.

Plot

The Doctor and his companions arrive in a strange location and soon split up when the TARDIS is stolen. They each encounter different groups of people, including the survivors of a crashed spaceship, a party of explorers and a medieval court. There is something strangely familiar about these people and the longer the companions stay, the more they realise they may have to think very carefully in order to escape.

  • Continuity

  • Tegan mentions that her aunt Vanessa died two days before this adventure takes place, placing the story directly after the events of Castrovalva.
  • The Doctor tells Nyssa that he'll have to take her to the Eye of Orion at some point. He eventually reaches the Eye in The Five Doctors but by this time Nyssa is no longer travelling with him.
  • When Tegan is upset, the Doctor says "Brave heart, Tegan". This was an ongoing interaction between them in the television series.
