Customer Reviews

A thoroughly entertaining listen!
Elisabeth Sladen is an amazing narrator, but what really captured me is Stephen Cole's brilliant writing. The scenes and descriptions are so vivid, and the quirky one-liners really made my day. Cole's really captured the essence of the characters in this intelligent story, which both childrens and adults alike will find entertaining. It certainly kept me on the edge of my seat! If you're waiting for Season 2 of Sarah Jane Adventures to come around, this will certainly get you through your withdrawal symptoms! Listening to this gave me the same feeling I got from the show! Two thumbs up!

A spin off from sarah jane adventures, the spin off series from doctor who which involves his intrepid former companion battling aliens with the help of several children.

Rather than being a full cast audio play like a lot of doctor who audios, this is a talking book, with an original sarah jane story written especially for this, and read by elisabeth sladen. sarah jane herself.

It runs for seventy minutes, and is one long story with no episode breaks in the middle.

Elisabeth sladen is a very good person to do this kind of thing as she has a commanding and appealing voice which really gets your attention. Her attempts to do the voices of the other characters from the show are quite good.

The story involves sarah jane investigating humans being driven to steal gold, and uncovering a sinister alien plot as a result. It's nothing special, but it's a little better than average. all the characters are written well and get good moments and the plot is not that obvious from off, and will keep you interested to the end. And the villain of the piece has some convincing and well written moments.

A good little spin off, and now that the first season of the show has finished, you could do worse than listen to this in order to pass the time
