Doctor Who: The Paradise Of Death

By: BBC

Narrated by: Elisabeth Sladen, Full Cast, Jon Pertwee

When a horrific and inexplicable death occurs at Space World, a new theme park on Hampstead Heath, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart and UNIT are called in to investigate. The Doctor is highly suspicious. Just who controls the Parakon Corporation, the shadowy organisation behind the running of the park? What is 'Experience Reality'? And what are the limits of its awesome powers? First broadcast on BBC Radio in 1993, this full-cast adventure was written by former Doctor Who producer Barry Letts, and stars Jon Pertwee, Elisabeth Sladen and Nicholas Courtney.©2000 BBC Worldwide Ltd; (P)1993, 2000 BBC Worldwide Ltd

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes!

The Third Doctor

Nice little story, with the Third Doctor, Sarah Jane Smith, and the Brigider. Not the best story ever, but a nice listen

Terrific Adventure!

I'm a big fan of Doctor Who and the Pertwee years might be my favorite. It was wonderful to find this BBC radio adventure, which is as good as the best TV series adventures.

The story is imaginative and fun and the characterizations are spot on. It's even presented in segments, complete with dramatic clifhangers.

All "Third Doctor" fans will love this adventure.

Pertwee and company only made one other radio adventure and it was a bomb.

New Who

This Who is a whole lot of fun. Excellent production values, direction, acting and writing. I like radio dramas that are made for the radio. I don't like tons and tons of narration. If you have to narrate, you're not doing it right. In fact, zero narration is best for me. That's one reason I heartily recommend this program. It's clever and funny stuff that is done with utter seriousness (the best way to do comedy). I can honestly say that Paradise of Death is my favorite Dr. Who experience. It's a permanent part of my iPod.
