Matthew Waterhouse reads this common novelisation of the Fourth Doctor Television adventure.

The Doctor, Romana and K9 are at risk of Gallifrey if they temporarily lose control of the TARDIS. The significance of the event is revealed if they land, not really on Gallifrey but on Alzarius. The planet’s renowned Mistfall is getting close to, a period when giant scaly animals emerge from the swamps and go on the rampage, departing a trail of death and destruction within their wake.

As the Alzarians take cover in the Starliner spaceship, one band of young rebels is set to vary. Among them is Adric, a boy who inadvertently leads Romana and K9 into terrible danger. Will the Doctor have the ability to save almost all their lives and unravel the trick of Mistfall?

Matthew Waterhouse, who played Adric in the BBC TV series, reads Andrew Smith’s complete and unabridged novelisation, initial published by Target Books in 1982. Reading produced by Lyndsey Melling. Sound style by Simon Power. Professional producer: Michael Stevens.
