About this listen

 The mysterious Doctor and his granddaughter Susan are joined by unwilling adventurers Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright in an epic struggle for survival on an alien planet. In a vast metal city they discover the survivors of a terrible nuclear war - the Daleks. Held captive in the deepest levels of the city, can the Doctor and his new companions stop the Daleks' plan to totally exterminate their mortal enemies, the peace-loving Thals? More importantly, even if they can escape from the Daleks, will Ian and Barbara ever see their home planet Earth again? This novelization is based on the second Doctor Who story which was originally broadcast from 21 December 1963-1 February 1964. It features the First Doctor as played by William Hartnell, and his companions Susan, Ian and Barbara. William Russell, who played Ian in the original TV serial on which this book is based, reads David Whitaker's complete and unabridged novelisation, first published by Target Books in 1973. 'They’re well-written books-adventure stories, of course, but with some thought… the creation of the character of the Doctor had a touch of genius about it.’ - Westminster Press.© and (P)2005 BBC Audiobooks Ltd.

William Russell gives a excellent reading of a slightly different take on the Doctors first encounter with the Daleks.

A great story!

My first Doctor Who audio book and what a treat! Especially the first half of the story is very entertaining and is able to perform a smooth transition from Victorian England to a far away foreign planet, inhabited by ... DALEKS! I believe this is the Doctors first encounter with his archenemies. A must read for any Doctor Who fan.

loved hearing this story that brought back memories of reading it in my younger day. William Russell is very good narrator and love that an original actor from this story was chosen to read it. well worth buying.

A Target Classic 😀

Having this title on VHS and DVD formats, was was interested in its audio book rendition. What a fantastic narrative piece, ably realised by one time companion William Russel who played Ian Chesterson oppersite William Hartnell's 1st Dr Who. It is interesting to note the story is not exact to the tv version which for me is all the better as the characterisations are wholly fleshed out and William Russells 1st Dr vocals is a gem to be behold, not so the Dalek voices, but i quibble.

Thoroughly enjoble i recommend all Dr Who titles read by William Russel for an airing. Superb 10/10

Terrifying journey to Danger!
