TALKING BOOK
BBC AUDIO RRP £20 (CD)
Some of the old Doctor Who novelisations are as reassuring as a well-worn comfort blanket; Death to the Daleks, first published in 1978, is no exception. That dramatic, explosive cover; the artfully constructed prose of the master, Terrance Dicks, perfectly capturing the essence of the TV original; Daleks blasting away with machine guns. It’s good, potent fare, and that reassuring aura is repeated in this unabridged audiobook, given new life in a pleasingly entertaining form by Jon Culshaw.
