Product Description

'It's happening, Brigadier! It's happening!' Sarah cried out. The Brigadier watched, fascinated, as the lifeless body of his old friend and companion, Dr Who, suddenly began to glow with an eerie golden light...The features were blurring, changing...'Well, bless my soul,' said the Brigadier. 'Who will be next?'. The last exciting adventure of Doctor Who's third incarnation. Elisabeth Sladen, who played Sarah Jane Smith in the original TV serial on which this book is based, reads Terrance Dicks' complete and unabridged novelisation, first published by Target Books in 1975. 'BBC Audiobooks has chosen well with its books and has taken the right approach with its readers...they benefit from new music and sound effects' - "Doctor Who Magazine".

Customer Reviews

Enthusiastic reading and great sound effects4
Elizabeth Sladen reads this story very well indeed with impersonations that distinguish the characters (original cast members well). Sladen also accelerates her reading when cliffhanger-like moments occur. If anything is to fault, it is the third-generation copy factor. i.e. Sladen does a wonderful job reading an average novel of an average, if overlong and a little tedius at times, television story. I would have loved for her to have done Pyramids of Mars, but there are still plenty of more possibilities.
