About this listen

Matt Smith reads this exclusive audio story featuring the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond.

Intercepting a distress call, the TARDIS is drawn to a Shinto shrine in medieval Japan, where the Doctor and Amy are met by village elder Shijô Sada. He explains that the ogre-like mannequins surrounding the holy site are harmless guardians, called Otoroshi.

At the heart of the temple is an ancient jade pyramid, so sacred that only the monks may look at it. But the Shogun, the ruler of Japan, wants to possess the pyramid and has ordered seven samurai and a band of soldiers to come to Kokan and seize it.

Whilst the Doctor is tracked by a ninja assassin, Amy discovers what happens to trespassers at the shrine. Soon the secrets of the jade pyramid - and the towering Otoroshi - will be known... Written specially for audio by Martin Day, The Jade Pyramid'is read by Matt Smith, who plays the Doctor in the acclaimed hit series from BBC Television.

I love Doctor Who. I love Samurai. I love stories set in old Japan. Take all that plus Matt Smith's brilliant narration and you've got a brilliant listening experience though I'll admit he reads almost to quickly but if you can keep up it should be no problem

Matt Smith should read more auidos he's brilliant

The adventure is ok, the characters a little forgettable - some standard Doctor Who trope, a wise older character, a misunderstood dark character who turns out to be noble etc. What saves this for me is the wonderful narration by Matt Smith. He clearly is very excited to be the Doctor still and enthusiasm helps to move a story along - although his voice for Amy is pretty dire!!!
