Jon Culshaw reads the brand-new novelisation of a classic Doctor Who adventure by Douglas Adams.
The hugely powerful Key to Time has been split into six segments, all of which have been disguised and hidden throughout time and space. Now the even more powerful White Guardian wants the Doctor to find the pieces.
With the first segment successfully retrieved, the Doctor, Romana and K9 trace the second segment of the Key to the planet Calufrax. But when they arrive at exactly the right point in space, they find themselves on exactly the wrong planet - Zanak.
Ruled by the mysterious 'Captain', Zanak is a happy and prosperous planet. Mostly. If the mines run out of valuable minerals and gems then the Captain merely announces a New Golden Age, and they fill up again. It's an economic miracle - so obviously something's very wrong.
Duration 10 hours approx.

Finally after all this time they have novelized Douglas Adams The Pirate Planet, part of the Key of time saga. I've been in love with Doctor Who since the 80's when I discovered it on PBS. I watched all the episodes I could, and then read all the novelizations of its episodes I could buy. They novelized the whole key of time season, with the exception of second story. Which is a waste, its like watching the original Star Wars trilogy starting with New Hope but then skipping the Empire Strikes Back, and going straight to Return of the Jedi. You end up missing a great story and maybe some important story lines, witch makes the next movie make sense. The reason the novel never got written was because Douglas Adams was to busy writing his famous Hitchikers guide to galaxy books to bother with his Novelizing his other famous Doctor Who stories, City of Death, or the Unfinished story Shada too. Now Because of Adams untimely death, the stories can be novelized. Thanks to James Goss who also novelized City of Death, and Gareth Roberts who finished Adams unfinished Shada script, we can finely read these stories. Goss did a good job, he made it feel like a Adams book, and he expanded the story to give it more depth and character development. My only complaint is that he really did not discribe Romana very well, he said she was pretty and smart, but that doesn't give Mary Tamm who played Romana in the episode enough justice. I always thought she was the most beautiful and glamorous of all the ladies who played the Doctors Companions. Like Adams she died to soon. I think the author should of honored her with a in memory to in the beginning of the book. Another great book, I hope they release more original stories of the past Doctors soon.Product details

Doctor Who The Pirate Planet 4th Doctor Novelisation (Audible Audio Edition) Douglas Adams Jon Culshaw BBC Worldwide Ltd Books Reviews
Nuff said
(Actually not, apparently require 20 words. If your a fan of Douglas and/or Tom you'll love it.)
Solid book, very good condition.
Exactly what you would expect from Douglas Adams an entertaining Dr Who story with great quips and observations (I also liked the comments at the end on how the story was reconstructed from the script notes)
good dr. who story
Entirely met expectations.
An excellent Douglas Adams impersonation by Mr. Goss.
James Goss captures the spirit of Douglas Adams' writing in this novelization of the classic Fourth Doctor episode. It's a great trip down memory lane for those who saw and remember the episode on TV, but like early Doctor Who TV episodes, the story can tend to drag in places. But overall this is a must read for Doctor Who and Douglas Adams fans alike.
