What to expect
David Banks reads this novelisation of a classic TV adventure for the Fifth Doctor, Turlough and Peri.
The Doctor is enjoying the sun on a holiday island, until things get hotter than he
bargained for.
The young American, Perpugilliam Brown, brings to the TARDIS a mysterious object that her archaeologist step-father has found in a sunken wreck. When the Doctor’s robot friend Kamelion reacts to the object unexpectedly, it has bewildering consequences for the TARDIS crew.
For Kamelion sends the Doctor and his friends to Sarn, a terrifyingly beautiful planet of fire. This strange world provides the key to Turlough’s secret past – and, once again, the Doctor is pitted against the wily Master.
David Banks, who played the Cyber Leader in the BBC TV series, reads Peter Grimwade's 1985 novelisation of his own TV serial.
Reading produced by Morrison Ellis. Sound design by Oliver Denman. Executive Producer for BBC Studios: Michael Stevens
