Re: Superior Story

This audio renders a superior tale to the existing television episodes because it allows the listener's imagination to fill in the gaps the early 1960's story couldn't convey upon it's modest budget, with it's small studio spaces and lack of mobile alien costumes. I recommend listening to this a year or so after having seen the television episodes to gain the fullest experience. The narrator, Ian in the series, does a wonderful job with the various voices.

Classic Doctor Who at its best.

Great story by Bill Strutton . Great narration by William Russell, who played Ian on the show. He also gives some insight into the making of the story in the last 8 minutes of the audiobook. This book was also one of the earliest novelizations of a Doctor Who serial. It set the trend for all the future novelizations of Doctor Who stories to come. Good stuff.
