"The Game" is a Big Finish Productions audio drama based on the long-running British science fiction television series "Doctor Who".
Plot
The Fifth Doctor and Nyssa find themselves caught up in the politics between the Gora and the Lineen, which expresses itself in the form of the planetary obsession — the arena sport known as Naxy. While the Doctor discovers that the game has very deadly penalties, Nyssa has to deal with famed negotiator Lord Carlisle, who claims that the Doctor is his best friend.

Notes
#This story is divided into six episodes; it is more common for Big Finish's "Doctor Who" audio stories to be divided into four episodes. However, since each episode is between 18 and 22 minutes in length, the total time for the story is not significantly longer than other Big Finish audio stories.
#William Russell, who appears as Lord Carlisle, is better known as the First Doctor's companion Ian Chesterton.
#Author Darin Henry has also written for the television programmes "Seinfeld" and "Futurama".
