About this listen

Nicholas Briggs reads this epic novelisation of the Second Doctor's debut TV adventure.

Following an encounter with the Cybermen, the Doctor's life appears to hang in the balance—until, before the eyes of his companions Ben and Polly, his physical appearance is transformed!

Disoriented after his regeneration, the Doctor takes the TARDIS to the Earth colony planet Vulcan. Ben and Polly are disturbed—the Doctor isn't the man he used to be. The Doctor is also worried; the colonists have found the remains of two Daleks, which they plan to revive!

Once reanimated, the Daleks claim that they are content to serve humanity. Can it really be true? Or do they have their own, more sinister plans?

Nicholas Briggs, who is the voice of the Daleks in Doctor Who, reads John Peel's novelisation of the original 1966 TV serial by David Whitaker.

(Contains some descriptions of violence.)

Reading produced by Neil Gardner.

Dalek voices produced by Nicholas Briggs.

WHO-tastic

Downloaded without paying much attention to which story it was. Brilliant and a key part of the DW ‘timeline’. Recommend to all fans of old and new WHO.

A perfect adaptation of an original missing 6 parter

So having listened to the original tv version it’s nice to hear a version with extra small details to fill in small gaps or tidy up details from from the original version I strongly suggest using a credit to listen to this one

One of the very best

This was a brilliantly read and produced release.The original scripts were written with depth and the adaptation by John Peel not only reflects this but enhances it.This is one of the best purchases on Audible that I have made.
