Synopsis

A new edition of the collection featuring each of the Doctor's full-cast BBC radio adventures - and more.

In The Paradise of Death and The Ghosts of N-Space, the Third Doctor reunites with Sarah Jane Smith and UNIT for adventures on Earth and beyond, first broadcast on BBC Radio in the 1990s.

In Doctor Who and the Pescatons, made for LP release in 1976, the Fourth Doctor and Sarah fight alien invasion on present day Earth. The duo return in Exploration Earth: The Time Machine, for BBC Schools Radio, in which they witness the Earth's early development.

Whatever Happened To...Susan? is a tongue-in-cheek look at how Susan Foreman's life might have turned out after her adventures with the Doctor, and Slipback is a full-throttle adventure for the Sixth Doctor and Peri, first broadcast on BBC Radio in 1985.

Also included in this new edition is a 45 minute conversation with Elisabeth Sladen, recorded exclusively for BBC Audio in 2004.

10 CDs, 9:55 runtime.

About the Author

Victor Pemberton's first television script was for Send Foster (1965), concerning the exploits of a junior reporter on a local newspaper. He also worked as an actor, which led to director Morris Barry casting him in Doctor Who (The Moonbase). After a brief stint writing and script-editing Doctor Who in the mid-Sixties, Victor contributed to Timeslip and Ace of Wands and wrote numerous other scripts for radio and television. He produced Fraggle Rock in the 1980s, as well as setting up a Writers’ Television Workshop in Lagos, Nigeria, and working in Kuwait on a drama series about the daily life of a Gulf Arab family (Bait Abu Khaled). In 1990, Headline books invited Pemberton to write a novelization of a BBC Drama series he had penned called Our Family. This was published in 1991 and led to a successful career as a novelist, and to date he has published fifteen ‘family saga’ novels, including Where the Swallows Come Again (2008).

Eric Saward has written for both radio and television, script-edited Doctor Who for five years and also written four original stories for the show. During this time he also novelized four scripts and wrote the first ever Doctor Who radio serial. Recently he has completed a graphic novel based around the adventures of Lytton.
