The Three Companions by Marc Platt

Polly Wright has tracked down an old friend of the Doctor’s… Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, former Brigadier at UNIT. As they trade stories of their time travelling in the TARDIS, it soon becomes clear that their pasts are intertwined, and linked to a current crisis on the planet Earth. And there’s a third companion, watching them from a distance. A certain Thomas Brewster…

An epic story featuring the Doctor’s former companions Polly, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart and Thomas Brewster in a fight to save the Earth, The Three Companions was previously released in serialised form and is available to hear in a new compilation edit for the first time.

For a limited time only, Big Finish listeners can also get 50% OFF the complete collection of Doctor Who: The Companion Chronicles  The Specials as a download, at the Weekly Deals page (link above.)
