Product Description
This is a special box set containing each of the Doctor's full-cast BBC Radio adventures - plus the 1975 made-for-LP audio adventure "Doctor Who and the Pescatons" and the 1994 spoof "Whatever Happened To...Susan?".

"The Ghosts of N-Space" (First broadcast 20 January 1996): The Brigadier's great-uncle Mario seems unsurprised by the spectres that haunt his ancient Sicilian castle. But when the Doctor comes to investigate, he finds himself in great danger..."Doctor Who and the Pescatons" (First broadcast 27 August 1993): The Tardis' arrival on a lonely beach at night marks the beginning of a terrifying adventure on present-day Earth for the Doctor and Sarah Jane. "Exploration Earth" (First broadcast 4 October 1976): The Doctor takes Sarah Jane back in time to witness the Earth's development: only to find that the existence of Mankind itself is in danger!

"Slipback" (First broadcast 25 July 1985): The Tardis materialises in the service ducting of the Vipod Mor, a huge craft floating in deep space.

There have been many radio shows on and around the subject - of Doctor Who but this box set gathers all the bespoke audio Doctor Who dramas made by the BBC specifically for radio for the first time, and throws in 'Doctor Who And The Pescatons' for good measure. Purists can argue this way and that about whether these stories fit into the established continuity of the tv series, but for the rest of us, there's a lot to enjoy, with authentic performances from established stars of the show.
Doctor Who And The Pescatons was a 1975 straight-to-LP release - how often does THAT happen?! - and features the then-Doctor Tom Baker and the late, greatly-lamented Elisabeth Sladen as his ever-reliable companion Sarah Jane Smith. With only one additional cast member it keeps the action descriptive and intimate, actually quite reminiscent of Tom Baker's later BBC audioplays Hornet's Nest and Demon Quest or recent years.
Slipback was a 1985 drama made with the incumbent Doctor, Colin Baker, with Nicola Bryant as his assistant Peri. Fans of the tv series will enjoy and recognise Valentine Dyall's satanic sibilance (albeit playing a different character).
The Paradise Of Death and The Ghosts Of N-Space were Nineties dramas set in the Jon Pertwee era, written by that era's producer Barry Letts and starring, alongside Jon Pertwee himself, Lis Sladen once more and the magical Nicholas Courtney as Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart. It's terribly sad to note that all three stars - and indeed writer - are no longer with us. The addition of another companion, Jeremy, has divided fans with his over-the-top posho performance. But elsewhere there's able support from another Who guest artiste Peter Miles and the capricious Harold Innocent in TPoD and returning Who guest actor Stephen Thorne in TGoN-S.
Finally, there's Whatever Happened To Susan? - a 1994 drama with Jane Asher playing the Doctor's granddaughter Susan Foreman. I don't know why Carole Ann Ford, the tv actress who essayed the part, could not return, but Asher turns in a solid portrayal as if she had played the character in the past.
Like I said, you can take or leave these stories as canon, but it's all pieces of a much larger puzzle and the ride is entertaining!
