Big Finish Doctor Who/Recap/038 The Church and the Crown

The Fifth Doctor and Peri are taking new friend Erimem to the Braxiatel Collection (home of Bernice Summerfield), but land in 17th century France instead, where skirmishes between King Louis XIII's musketeers and Cardinal Richelieu's guards are threatening the peace in Paris.

Tropes

 * Blue Blood: Erimem. It comes in handy.
 * The Cavalier Years
 * Crash Into Hello: The Doctor meets The Three Musketeers, in a scene that's a loving Homage to the original.
 * Historical Domain Character: King Louis XIII, Queen Anne, Cardinal Richelieu.
 * Identical Stranger: Peri and Queen Anne. (Actor Nicola Bryant uses her natural English accent for Queen Anne.)
 * It Will Never Catch On: The Doctor tries to introduce the Three Musketeers to their "All for one, and one for all!" Badass Creed Catch Phrase.
 * Pity Peri's Kidnappers, according to the Doctor.
 * Powder Keg Crowd: Most of the scenes that have musketeers and cardinal's guards together.
 * Swashbuckler
