Simply Outstanding!

This series was a fantastic! Baker is at his top game, Whibsey has character development, the villains are fantastic, and Mike Yates is brilliant as ever!
Hornet’s Nest is a genuinely creepy romp through time and space. Loved every second, but the backwards-time travel thing made the endings predictable based on previous stories. 8/10
Demon’s Quest was a loosely tied rehash of Hornet’s Nest, but is deeply enjoyable to listen to. Accents and music were for the worse, however. 7/10
Serpent’s Crest was easily the best, from the land-of-fiction Aladdin story to the Second Doctor cameo. Cliffhangers were amazing and characters were lovable. Just wish it tied in with the last two a little neater. 9/10
In conclusion, this is definitely worth a buy and extremely enjoyable.

Classic Doctor Who

If you’re a fan, this radio drama starring Tom Baker is a must have. Like so many kids who grew up watching Doctor Who
on PBS, I think of Baker as my first Doctor. This audiobook capture the spirit of those adventures.
