Matthew Waterhouse reads this novelisation of the classic 1982 Television serial featuring the Fifth Doctor, seeing that played on Television by Peter Davison. When the TARDIS materialises with an alien space art, the commander from the ship – the reptilian Monarch – invites the physician, Adric, Nyssa and Tegan to continue their journey to Globe in his company. Monarch’s hospitality actually reaches a generous offer to liberate the time travellers through the shortcomings of their bodies and replicate them as androids – a lot more useful. Although Adric finds this proposal incredibly attractive, the Doctor has good reason to be suspicious of Monarch’s motives… Matthew Waterhouse, who played Adric in Doctor Who, reads Terrance Dicks’s novelisation of the four-part Television serial by Terence Dudley.
