Product Description
Product Description
This superbly illustrated, limited edition tin contains the complete and unabridged readings of three classic Doctor Who novelisations, each read by William Russell and enhanced with original music and special effects. "Doctor Who and the Daleks" is the Doctor's first exciting adventure with the ruthless natives of the planet Skaro, and the book in which Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright join the Doctor and Susan aboard the TARDIS. In "Doctor Who and the Crusaders", the scene of adventure is the 12th Century Holy Land, where the TARDIS crew encounters Richard the Lionheart in his war against the Saracens. "Doctor Who and the Zarbi" finds the TARDIS drawn to the eerie planet Vortis, on which the Doctor and his companions encounter a host of alien creatures including the Menoptera, the Animus and the Zarbi. Reader William Russell played Ian Chesterton in the original television series; this makes him a superb choice of reader for these classic, fondly-remembered books (published as Target Paperbacks in the 1970s). In addition to the readings, he also shared his memories of making the stories for television. This is the first and only time these readings will be available on CD.

This is a wonderful set, beautifully presented, and must have seemed like a good idea at the time. BBC Audiobooks is to be congratulated for issuing these readings of three very important novelizations. Clearly completists will want to have this collection, but I wonder how often they will actually listen to it all the way through.
William Russell, a great actor and a pivotal figure in Doctor Who's early history, would seem to be the obvious choice as reader, but in fairness I feel it would have been better to get someone with an easier reading voice. Mr Russell, while reading well and expressively, simply sounds too old and croaky for the job. Without intending to be personal, there is a suspicion that, in between sentences and phrases, he was possibly rasping and gasping a fair bit and the digital rendering has excised this natural breathiness to produce an unnatural silence in the gaps. Personally, I found this very distracting and it made the job of concentrating on the actual story rather difficult.
On the other hand, if you can pick up a bargain-priced copy, you really get a lot of audio for your money, but no way is this set worth the original 65 quid! Buy it if you're a Doctor Who obsessive, but don't expect too much. The audio versions of the regular TV episodes are much more listener friendly.
