BBC Audiobooks has announced a grand achievement in the name of Doctor Who storytelling. Thanks to considerable work, BBC Audiobooks has completed the full sequence of audiobook novelisations covering every televised Doctor Who adventure from The Daleks (1964) to Rose (2005). To celebrate such an achievement, BBC Audiobooks has released Doctor Who and the Loch Ness Monster, an adaptation of Terrance Dicks’s 1976 novelisation of the beloved Fourth Doctor story Terror of the Zygons.
This is a huge milestone as it marks the culmination of more than 160 audiobook titles of every televised Doctor Who story released from late 1963 to the series’ revival in 2005. Throughout all these years and all these audiobooks, there has been the hard work of 61 narrators, including five on-screen Doctors – Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker and Paul McGann. But that isn’t all, there have also been numerous companions, allies and adversaries who have contributed to increasing listeners’ enjoyment, such as the addition of special effects and the authentic voices of the Daleks, Cybermen by Nicholas Briggs, and K9 by John Leeson.
In Doctor Who and the Loch Ness Monster, the Fourth Doctor receives a request to help UNIT at the shores of Loch Ness after the destruction of an oil rig, and rumours of the infamous monster being the cause. After investigating, the Doctor discovers that the Zygons must be involved somehow. But can the Doctor, Sarah, Harry and UNIT outwit the cunning Zygons and stop their dastardly plans?
Doctor Who and the Loch Ness Monster is available now from the Penguin website.
