Another successful addition to the SJA audio exclusives range -- Cambs Times, October 15, 2009
Product Description
Elisabeth Sladen, who stars as Sarah Jane in the CBBC TV series, reads this exclusive audio story which has been written by series script editor Gary Russell. When Sarah Jane receives a strange letter from Eddison Clough, her curiosity is aroused. For Eddison possesses a photograph proving he was once close friends with her Aunt Lavinia - but he has no memory of ever having met her. Intrigued, Sarah Jane and Luke go to visit him and, with Clyde and Rani, they explore the village of Wolfenden. The locals seem strange and secretive - especially the Hendricks, a deathly pale family with white hair and white eyes. 'Another successful addition to the SJA audio exclusives range' - "Cambs Times".

Format:Audio CD
Sarah Jane Smith is back on BBC One! So is the Tenth Doctor! And to cash in on the excitement, BBC Audio has released two exclusive-to-audio books featuring Sarah Jane (of which this, of course, is one) and one featuring the Tenth Doctor.
As usual, Sarah Jane herself, Elisabeth Sladen, narrates this one-hour single-disc release, doing a decent job of capturing the speech patterns of her co-stars, Tommy Knight (Luke), Daniel Anthony (Clyde) and Anjli Mohindra (Rani) - though Clyde and Rani don't get as much to do in this tale.
Author Gary Russell takes the characters on a welcome trip out of the city and into the countryside. He throws us straight into the story with a gripping flash-forward in his pre-credits teaser (which bears a passing resemblance to the teaser to the Series 3 storyline The Mad Woman in the Attic). From there, he piles mysteries on top of enigmas, including memory loss, alien abduction and a giant hill carving.
During the latter half of the CD, the plot gets somewhat over-complicated, and mystery gives way to confusion, but Russell certainly managed to defy my expectations as to how things would pan out. I'm not sure that we ever do discover the significance of the White Wolf carved on the hillside, but given the price (curiously the CD is cheaper than the download), there's no reason why you shouldn't wolf this adventure straight down.

Listening to this a few weeks after the tragic death of Elisabeth Sladen is a very poignant experience. Sladen's precise and warm narrating style fits the tone of the audio perfectly, and it is another reminder of how much she will be missed. This is an audio reading rather than a full-cast drama, and as such the story is not particularly memorable. This doesn't matter too much though as it is so well read that it is easy to picture the story in one's mind, and Gary Russell's tale of alien abduction and secretive villagers is definitely worth a listen.

Reminisant of 'Children of the Stones' (a very old childrens tv show)A good tale that would have made an interesting tv episode. Lis Sladen is excellant in her telling of the story. Children Of The Stones [DVD] [1977]

Not bad...
The story itself is a bit unrealistic (well, the Doctor Who universes are) but interesting. Some of the characters e.g. Read more

A great listen for Dr who freaks.
The great Liz sladen gives a quality reading to a good story. Although a childrens series there is enough depth for adults to enjoy as well.
