Doctor Who: The Feast Of The Drowned

By: Stephen Cole

Narrated by: David Tennant

When a naval cruiser sinks in mysterious circumstances in the North Sea, all aboard are lost. Rose is saddened to learn that the brother of her friend, Keisha, was among the dead. But then he appears to them as a ghostly apparition, begging to be saved from the coming feast... the feast of the drowned. As the dead crew haunt loved ones all over London, the Doctor and Rose are drawn into a chilling mystery. What sank the ship, and why? When the cruiser’s wreckage was towed up the Thames, what sinister force came with it? The river’s dark waters are hiding an even darker secret, as preparations for the feast near their conclusion... Read by the Tenth Doctor himself, this exciting adventure features the Doctor and Rose, as played by David Tennant and Billie Piper in the acclaimed hit series from BBC Television. Also included is an exclusive bonus interview with the author, Stephen Cole, compiled by David Darlington of Doctor Who Magazine.©2006 BBC Audiobooks Ltd; (P)2006 BBC Audiobooks Ltd

Dr WHO--WHAT??

Would you consider the audio edition of Doctor Who to be better than the print version?

I have never read the print version

Who was your favorite character and why?

Love the accent. Good acting.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed this but at times I found it hard to follow who was were and what they were doing. On a couple of occasions I had to back it up to get my bearings.

My first Doctor Who audio adventure, but definitely not my last!

I really wish that this one had been an episode of the show, it's really that good! The story was compelling and just the right amount of creepy for me, as someone afraid of the water--if you liked The Waters of Mars episode, there's a similar feeling to this story.
David Tennant's narration was spot-on, obviously as The Doctor, but all characters were brilliantly voiced, my favorite being Crenshaw...so delightfully unnerving!
Final words: give it a go, it's so worth it if you loved Ten!

David Tennant brings this story to life

David Tennant is a fantastic narrator and brings to life not just The Doctor but all the characters from Rose to the villains. There were some great action moments. Overall I enjoyed the story as a fan of Doctor Who even with a few moments where I thought the plot and characterisations weren't completely consistent within the story.

A great ghost story!

You just can't go wrong with a ghost story, especially when it envolves Tennant's Doctor, Rose, and Mickey!

Even if you've read the book, listen to this anyway. As usual, David Tennant's enthusiasm really makes this audio (and his immitation of Mickey is right on!). It's great just to listen to him read this story as a Doctor Who fan.

Highly Recommended!

Great Story

What made the experience of listening to Doctor Who the most enjoyable?

The most? David Tennant's version of an American admiral from Virginia

What other book might you compare Doctor Who to and why?

Really it's comparable to an episode of the series and was great!

What about David Tennant’s performance did you like?

Everything, he's amazing.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Oh we laughed so much!
