5.0 out of 5 stars The Doctor pits his wits against another power-mad dictator, 8 Mar 2009
By Barney McGrew "Charlie" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: "Doctor Who" and the Creature from the Pit (Classic Novels) (Audio CD)
The great Tom Baker narrates this audio version of the 1981 Target novelisation of the 1979 TV story in which he starred as The Doctor.
The story is a natural choice to be adapted for audio and is far better than the television version. The titular creature has gone down in Doctor Who lore as one of the worst-realised of the show's infamous `rubber monsters' and makes a faintly embarrassing visual spectacle, but in your imagination Erato comes across as a mighty green behemoth and Fisher's descriptions of his odour, skin, and web weaving are fantastic.

I read the TARGET novelisation long before seeing the TV version, and it was always one of my favourite novels, with great characters, including the nasty `wolfweeds', the vindictive `Madame Karela', the motley collection of miners turned bandits led by the odious Torvin, and the corrupt and savage ruler of the planet Chloris, `The Lady Adrasta'.

Erato, the creature itself, is actually an intelligent and humane ambassador from the planet Tythonus, who has been trapped in a mine by Adrasta and used as an unwitting executioner for anyone she wants to get rid of. When The Doctor arrives she steps up her efforts, seeing K9's laser as the perfect weapon with which to do her nasty work.

Baker's rich and booming tones have mellowed with age but I could still listen to his voice all day. He brings the miners, Adrasta, Karela and Romana to life superbly, and deals well with the nuances and variations in pitch and tone necessary to make an audio story work. With Chris Achilleos' original TARGET artwork, and four discs containing the unabridged novel, this is another top release from BBC audiobooks.
