The Three Doctors - Terrance Dicks

The first audiobook to make an appearance in these pages but certainly not the last.

This is the dramatisation of the episode featuring the first, second and third doctors.

The three have been drawn into conflict against the rogue Callifraean Omega in his anti-matter universe where he has been trapped since he kick started the whole Time Lord dealy.

It really was great fun and the second and third Doctors make a great double act. Hartnell is hardly in it as he was too ill to appear in anything more than a cameo but he is perfectly portrayed and is treated with great reverence.

It's a 70s Doctor Who so it's not overly concerned with complexity of plot or depth of characterisation but it's hugely entertaining nonetheless. Top book. A good way to pass a couple of hours while driving and cooking.
