first in a new series of doctor who companion chronicles audios. these are talking books read by actors who played companions of the first four doctors on tv. They tell an all new story not heard or seen before, and they always have one other actor involved who will do the single other speaking role in the tale.
Like most of them, this one runs for just over an hour, in two half hour episodes, and has an interview with the main actor at the end of it.
This story involves steven taylor, companion to the first doctor, played by actor peter purves who reads this tale. In it the tardis arrives in russia in the summer of 1812, and steven the doctor and other companion dodo settle into an idyllic life staying on a farm in the russian countryside. but war is looming, as napoleon is about to invade. and so is another invader from beyond the stars. their peaceful summer is about to be rudely shattered.
This is very well read by peter purves who does a good impression of william hartnell, and whilst the story moves a little slowly at times you simply don't mind because the atmosphere it conjures up in creating the setting is absolutely superb and a pleasure to listen to. It's a good little story, well resolved in part two.
And the above mentioned interview with peter purves is very good and worth listening to. a strong start to the new batch of companion chronicles

Excellent Hartnell-style historical
7 Jun 2010
By Sharilyn
- Published on Amazon.com
The Doctor, Steven and Dodo have spent an idyllic summer in a Russian village. But now Napoleon is marching on Moscow and something sinister is lurking in the woods...
Peter Purvis reprises the role of Steven Taylor with an energetic and occasionally impassioned reading that had me engaged in the story from the very start.
This audio captures the feel and pace of a Hartnell-era historical and evokes romantic mental pictures of 19th century rural Russia. But what really make the story compelling is Steven's emotional journey. It adds some true dimension to an often overlooked companion.
4.75 stars.
