Novelization/Audiobook review – ‘Doctor Who – The Androids of Tara’

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

Just in case you missed it today, I’ve updated my review on the 2022 Target novelization/2012 BBC audiobook of the ‘Doctor Who’ story ‘The Androids of Tara’ by David Fisher. The story features the Fourth Doctor, Romana and K-9 on their quest to search for the fourth segment of the Key to Time. The audiobook for ‘Doctor Who – The Androids of Tara’ is read by John Leeson, who voices K-9 in the ‘Doctor Who’ TV series.

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

It’s time for the fourth story in ‘The Key to Time’ season (Season 16) in the classic ‘Doctor Who’ TV series and another one of my favourites from the season. This is ‘The Androids of Tara’, another four-part adventure by David Fisher, who previously wrote ‘The Stones of Blood’. The story stars Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor, Mary Tamm as Romana, and K-9, voiced by John Leeson. The story also features Peter Jeffrey as Count Grendel. This swashbuckling ‘Doctor Who’ story is inspired by ‘The Prisoner of Zenda’ by Anthony Hope. ‘The Androids of Tara’ can be checked out on DVD and Britbox.
