Hello everyone! 🙂

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

I’ve recently checked out the Target novelization/audiobook ‘Doctor Who and the Planet of the Daleks’ by Terrance Dicks, based on the ‘Doctor Who’ TV story by Terry Nation, which was shown from April to May 1973. This story features the Third Doctor and Jo teaming up with the Thals on the planet Spiridon, as they tackle the deadly Daleks. I’ve enjoyed the Target novelization via its 1992 edition with cover art by Alister Pearson. I read the book with the 2013 unabridged audiobook read by Mark Gatiss, who is well-known for writing ‘Doctor Who’ episodes in the new TV series and has played characters like Professor Lazarus in ‘The Lazarus Experiment’ and the Captain in ‘Twice Upon a Time’. Nicholas Briggs also provides the voice of the Daleks in the unabridged audiobook.

Whilst it’s been an enjoyable experience checking out the Target novelization of ‘Planet of the Daleks’ by Terrance Dicks along with the unabridged audiobook read by Mark Gatiss, how does this compare to the original 1973 TV story? Is the book better or about just the same as the TV story? My latest novelization/audiobook review on the story has been added to my TV review of ‘Planet of the Daleks’. Please feel free to check out, read and comment on my review by clicking on the link for it. You can purchase the Target novelization/audiobook of ‘Doctor Who and the Planet of the Daleks’ either from Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.com or Audible.co.uk.

Enjoy!

Bye for now!

Tim. 🙂
