Four to Doomsday

By Terrance Dicks

Actor Matthew Waterhouse, who played companion Adric, reads this novelisation of a classic 1982 TV serial featuring the Fifth Doctor, as played by Peter Davison.

When the TARDIS materialises on an alien space craft, the commander of the ship – the reptilian Monarch – invites the Doctor, Adric, Nyssa and Tegan to continue their journey to Earth in his company. Monarch’s hospitality even extends to a generous offer to liberate the time travellers from the shortcomings of their bodies and replicate them as androids – so much more practical.

The Lost Planet

By George Mann

Actress Nicola Bryant, who played companion Peri in the Eighties, reads an exciting original story featuring the Twelfth Doctor, as played by Peter Capaldi.

The TARDIS is under attack. Alien plants have taken root in its corridors, strange flowering tendrils that threaten to rip the Doctor’s ship apart. New companions Brandon and Alex venture into the heart of the TARDIS to discover the source of the infestation.

Instead they find a secret door, and a forgotten world. The Doctor has unfinished business with the Arborites, living trees with long memories. Centuries ago he fought to prevent a galactic catastrophe – but now his past has come back to haunt him in ways he never thought possible.

Can the Time Lord rescue his young friends before they are destroyed by his past mistakes, or will Hirolth rise to leave utter devastation in its wake?
