Doctor Who and the Brain of Morbius

By: Terrance Dicks

Narrated by: Tom Baker

For the first time on audio, this is an unabridged reading of a classic Doctor Who novelisation, based on a serial from the original TV series.

Why do so many spaceships crash land on Karn, a bleak, lonely and seemingly deserted planet? Are they doomed by the mysterious powers of the strange, black-robed Sisterhood, jealously guarding their secret of eternal life? Or does the mad Dr Solon, for some evil purpose of his own, need the bodies of the victims - and more especially, the body of Doctor Who?

Oh yah!

Quite a story! The 4th Dr is the ONLY Dr! A pretty GOOD story line,too!

Not An Audio Drama

It's a wonderfully read story from a classic Who tale but I was hoping for an audio drama with the actual characters from the story.

Frankenstein revisited

All these years and I never knew what a magnificent voice character actor Tom Baker has been! Each character was distinct and I swear I could hear the actual Sarah Jane Smith persona as if 40+ years washed away. The story was a delightful retelling of Frankenstein's monster and the obsession of its creator. There was even a vivid scene of torch bearing hunters chasing down the monster. Going to listen to this again and again.

Doctor, doctor

Every time I see an audible book read by Tom Baker, I snatch it up. Here Baker reads and voices his most famous character, the floppy hatted, long scarfed, curly haired Fourth Doctor. Written by Terrance Dicks, this story has many of he same themes as many Doctor Who stories of the time (megalomaniac trying to take over the universe) but Dicks' writing is so taut and well-paced that you tend to overlook the tropes. Fun listen especially with Baker's fantastic range of voices
