About this listen

Four exciting novelisations in which the Doctor is on trial for his life.

In The Mysterious Planet, the Doctor is brought before the court of his fellow Time Lords. If the Valeyard can prove him guilty, the Doctor must sacrifice his remaning regenerations.

In Mindwarp, the second piece of evidence against the Doctor is presented to the court. One thing is certain: on the evidence of the Matrix, the Doctor is guilty as charged!

In Terror of the Vervoids, the Matrix relates how the Doctor and Mel arrive on a space liner just as a series of grisly murders begins.

In The Ultimate Foe, the Doctor asserts that the evidence of the Matrix has been tampered with. In a dramatic intervention, the Valeyard's true identity is revealed...

Lynda Bellingham, Colin Baker, Bonnie Langford and Michael Jayston read these four suspenseful adventures by Robert Holmes, Philip Martin and Pip and Jane Baker.

It’s well known that Trial of a Timelord wasn’t hugely popular at time of broadcast. The audio book is a very interesting version, if you like there are small additions which gives this a slight variation on what was broadcast, whilst being entirely faithful to the version of Trial of a Timelord broadcast. It is a good accompaniment because each segment of the trial is narrated by someone who was a significant character in Trial of a Timelord, all the contributors deliver a very good audiobook. There’s even a slight extended end of “The ultimate foe”, which gives an appreciation to anyone who knows how fraught things were behind the scenes which greatly impacted on the final script. This version of Trial of a Timelord is definitely worth hearing.

Well realised version

As always I love hearing the Doctor Who audiobooks.
Thoroughly enjoyed each section. I was hoping that Colin Baker would perform Sil’s laugh. He didn’t but still didn’t disappoint with his characterisation of each character including a reasonable Brian Blessed.
Initially I was tentative with Bonnie Langford and wondered how she’d characterise male characters. I was very impressed. She made me laugh out loud as she seemed to make them sound like Grandfather Flumo, Father Flump and Perkin Flump. Really enjoyed it.
Michael Jayson brought such a rich gravitas to the final story The Ultimate Foe. His sinister tones as The Master was not an Anthony Ainley impersonation but a dark, menacing interpretation.

Was sad when it finished but glad it had the epilogue which explained how Mel was delivered back to her own time stream with The Doctor.

Absolutely Fantastic

this is a brilliant collection of stories that make up the Trial of a Timelord even the weakest story narrated by Bonnie Langford is actually very good.

If you've seen the series this makes it better if you haven't seen it listen to this first.

even better than the new Blu-ray
