The fourth Doctor rises
I purchased this as I was looking for a lengthy audiobook and although I had not heard of this story was interested because it featured my Doctor growing up and was read by Tom Baker! Imagine my delight when I listened that it was quite simply fantastic and my regret when it finished. Got to mundane stuff but as I've come to appreciate the chapters are named so you can easily navigate and return to parts that you want. it is frustrating that I have great difficulty finding the story that I want in other Doctor Who audio books and some others that I have because the chapters are not named.
The stories are fantastic and not wanting to give anything away I will just leave it at that. I'm not going to give a synopsis as that may ruin the enjoyment but take it from me, the story and especially the performances are first rate. If you want to see why Tom Baker is remembered as well one of the great Who's listen no further.. All the rest of the cast are fantastic, this is an audio drama so it has audio effects which enhance the story even more. This is easily my favourite of my Doctor Who collections so far. Enjoy, I'm going to start all over again now myself

As brilliant as it promises
I am unconvinced by the whole Big Finish range, finding it very uneven, and often not well written for Audio. I therefore approached this item with trepidation, really relying on the overwhelming positive reviews.
And those reviews are spot on; its brilliant. Tom Baker is at his exuberant best, the chemistry with Richard Franklin and especially Susan Jameson (Mrs Wibbsey is a wonderful character) is superb, and the stories are well written and flow beautifully. Having David Troughton playing Doctor 2 was also a lovely bonus, again the dialogue between the 2 doctors crackles back and forth.
If you're a fan of classic Who and especially Tom Baker's tenure don't hesitate - this is a must-buy.

Enjoyable listen
This is a very enjoyable listen, simple easy stories, relaxing and fun. Love the acting, so much better than a plain narration. Tom Baker is as wonderful as ever and Susan Jameson is very versatile. A great listen that takes you back to an earlier time in your life whilst whisking you off around time and the cosmos.
