An unabridged reading of Paul Cornell’s novelisation based on his animated dilemma of the same name. When the Doctor lands his TARDIS in the Lancashire city of Lannet, in the present day, he finds that something can be terribly incorrect. The people are scared. They don’t really like venturing out onto the roads at night, they don’t like making an excessive amount of noise, and they certainly don’t like strangers asking way too many questions.

What alien force has invaded the city? Exactly why is it watching barmaid Alison Cheney? And about Doctor Who: Scream of the Shalka: A genuine Doctor Who novel what programs does it have for the future of the earth Earth?

The Doctor is helped (and hindered) by his new armed service liaison Major Kennet and his Royal Green Coat troop. His old enemy the Master also plays a small part. During this adventure he encounters a whole new competition of ferocious alien monsters, and strikes up a a friendly relationship with his latest companion, Alison.

While you start with a small community under threat, this old-fashioned, extremely traditional but very current Doctor Who adventure takes in the whole planet, from New Zealand to India, Siberia to the united states, and cosmic expanses beyond. Duration: 6 hours 45 mins.
