The Settling was the eighty-second story in Big Finish's monthly range. It was written by Simon Guerrier and featured Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor, Sophie Aldred as Ace and Philip Olivier as Hex.

Publisher's summary[]

Sir,

Having brought the army belonging to the Parliament of England before this place, to reduce it to obedience, to the end effusion of blood may be prevented, I thought fit to summon you to deliver the same into my hands to their use.

If this be refused, you will have no cause to blame me.

I expect your answer and rest your servant.

O. Cromwell.

The Doctor[]

  • Hex learned of Cromwell's atrocities in Ireland from his maternal grandmother Hilda Schofield.

Individuals[]

  • Ace claims to have learned everything that she knows about fencing from the captain of Cleopatra's guards.
  • Ace was named "Dorothy" because her mother Audrey was a fan of The Wizard of Oz, as is the Doctor.

  • The TARDIS has a snowy mountain range contained within; Ace notes that she has climbed one of the mountains herself.
  • The TARDIS library has lemon trees in it near the Doctor's collection of Ladybird books.
