Four exciting novelisations. In The Mysterious Planet, the Doctor is brought before the court of his fellow Time Lords.

In The Ultimate Foe, the Doctor asserts that the evidence of the Matrix has been tampered with.

Back in the gun-totin', hard-hittin', fast-shootin' days of the Old Wild West, when outlaws ruled the land and the good guys stayed off the streets, a troupe of travelling players - Miss Dodo Dupont, Steven Regret and the mysterious Doctor Caligari - moseyed into the town of Tombstone one October afternoon. Their method of transportation was a mite peculiar though. After all, a police box materialising out of thin air sure ain't the usual way to enter a sedate town like Tombstone...

The Doctor has adopted many guises in his time, but to be hailed as the great god Zeus is a bit of a shock. Yet this is exactly what happens when the TARDIS lands on the plains of Asia Minor, not far from the city of Troy. Taken to the Greek camp by Achilles, the Doctor is introduced to Agamemnon and Odysseus and forced to admit his less¿than¿godlike status. He is then given just two days to come up with a strategy for defeating the Trojans.

Twin dilemma lives up to awful repuations
What disappointed you about Doctor Who: The Twin Dilemma?
I felt the story dragged and colins performances unlike his work on big finish audio work. Where he seems controlled and less over the top with his performance. Also Eric Saward has written a very bad story. That just plods long very badly
What will your next listen be?
Doctor who and the auton invasion
Would you be willing to try another one of Colin Baker’s performances?
Yes, but not an audiobook. But one of his big finish audios. Where Colin is a joy to listen to
What character would you cut from Doctor Who: The Twin Dilemma?
Practically everyone in the story
Any additional comments?
There is nothing i can really add to this review. Except dont buy it. Go and listen to the Visitation instead
