About this listen

An unabridged reading of the brand-new novel based on a storyline by Douglas Adams.

The Doctor promised Romana the end of the universe, so she's less than impressed when what she gets is a cricket match. But then the award ceremony is interrupted by 11 figures in white uniforms and peaked skull helmets wielding bat-shaped weapons that fire lethal bolts of light into the screaming crowd. The Krikkitmen are back.

Millions of years ago, the people of Krikkit learned they were not alone in the universe and promptly launched a xenophobic crusade to wipe out all other lifeforms. After a long and bloody conflict, the Time Lords imprisoned Krikkit within an envelope of Slow Time, a prison that could be opened only with the Wicket Gate key, a device that resembles - to human eyes, at least - an oversized set of cricket stumps....

From Earth to Gallifrey, from Bethselamin to Devalin, from Krikkit to Mareeve II to the far edge of infinity, the Doctor and Romana are tugged into a pan-galactic conga with fate as they rush to stop the Krikkitmen gaining all five pieces of the key. If they fail, the entire cosmos faces a fiery retribution that will leave nothing but ashes....

I found this just two much like the style of hitch hikers guide to the galaxy. It was too comic for my liking and too silly in places. Far too long, but the story does have merit with its twists and turns, just don't get lost in the corridors!

Dr who hitches!

Oh my word - what a treat this is! If you’re a fan of Doctor Who, it’s worth a listen. If you’re a fan of Douglas Adams it’s absolutely worth a listen. If you’re a fan of Doctor Who AND Douglas Adams, it’s essential. If you’re not a fan of Doctor Who or Douglas Adams then why are you reading a review of a Doctor Who story by Douglas Adams? Go outside and do something else! Maybe play a spot of cricket?

Dan Starkey’s narration is superb and his Fourth Doctor, in particular, is spectacularly good.

James Goss has done a superb job of this as it is absolutely 100% Douglas’s voice. It’s so authentically him. I sincerely believe that Goss must have missed every deadline for submitting his work - it’s THAT authentically Douglas.

I definitely recommend buying this right now and listening to it immediately before the end of the universe. You won’t regret it!

Glorious and joyful

This is one of the best Doctor who books ever ! It’s helped by Dan Starkey acting his socks off doing the voices . James Goss ( and of course Douglas Adams ), has done a great job . Very amusing , and glad the Krikitt men made an appearance in some other publication …..
what a crossover ! Very well written and wouldn’t have expected anything less . Agrajag would be happy with this

Really good !
