The Perpetual Bond is a Big Finish Productions audiobook based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who.

The Companion Chronicles "talking books" are each narrated by one of the Doctor's companions and feature a second, guest-star voice along with music and sound effects.

Plot[]

The First Doctor returns to 1960s London and discovers duplicitous Bowler hatted businessmen dealing in immoral commodities.[1]

Cast[]

Continuity[]

  • The TARDIS returns to its first television location, I.M. Foreman's scrapyard (An Unearthly Child.)
  • Steven mentions visiting London in 1912 (The Suffering).

Notes[]

  • Oliver Harper is the first ongoing companion created for the Companion Chronicles range. He returns in The Cold Equations and The First Wave.

Anachronism[]

  • Steven Taylor uses the public's familiarity with the Beatles 1967 hit All You Need Is Love to break them free of alien mind control. No one could have actually known of this song since it is later revealed in The Cold Equations that this story occurs in 1966.-However, the section of All You Need Is Love that is hummed is taken from the La Marseillaise (the national anthem of France) which would have been well known in England in 1966.
