Synopsis

Louise Jameson reads this classic novelisation of a Fourth Doctor TV adventure featuring Leela and K9 “Attention to detail is the hallmark of this always excellent range” Doctor Who Magazine "Louise Jameson...creates a sense of fun but still injects that essential air of tension during action sequences." - Doctor Who Magazine Everyone knows that Pluto is a barren, airless rock. So naturally the Doctor is surprised when he discovers artificial suns and an ultramodern industrial city. What’s more, a group of colonists is being worked — and taxed — to death in this inhospitable and supposedly undeveloped part of the Universe. With the help of his companion Leela, and the faithful K9, the Doctor teams up with the rebels who inhabit the city’s underbelly. Together they take on the mysterious and powerful Company, a ruthless exploiter of planets and their people. Louise Jameson, who played Leela in the BBC series, reads Terrance Dicks’s unabridged novelisation of the 1977 TV adventure by Robert Holmes, starring Tom Baker as the Doctor. Duration: 3 hours and 30 mins approx
