Excellent Dr. Who stories

Great stories with really excellent narrators! A must for any fan of the new series or old or just anyone who likes science fiction.

A Nice Variety

This selection of audio stories is a nice variety of stories from various different incarnations of the Doctor. I would prefer having a separate audio book for each story, simply to make them easier to find and organize, but the stories themselves are generally good.

Much of this collection is made up of stories taken from the television show, read by the original actors. The short stories, while not lengthy, are a great addition to any Doctor Who fan's collection.

Not exactly what I thought

Great stories, but it took a little took getting used to the format.

The narrators were great as well as the sound effects but it is a collection of stories with no real order. Once I realized that I could really enjoy the book.

Goos, but not great

The TV episodes can be skipped, but the originals are still good enough to make this set worth listening to

Excellent collection narrated by the real actors!

Narrated by the actual actors playing the various Doctors over the years, this is a beautiful and engaging collection of short stories. The narration by the actors is without flaw.

The original shorts are worth it

The reversioned tv stories aren't anything to write home about, but the original short stories that follow contain some real gems.

Not what I expected

Would you listen to Doctor Who again? Why?

Of course I would, been a fan since 1984.

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

Pretty much any classic target Dr Who Book.

Which character – as performed by Jon Pertwee and Colin Baker – was your favorite?

The Doctor!

Any additional comments?

I was expecting that these were just audio rips of the classic TV series. What I got was actually the novelization of the episodes read by the Doctor whom they were played by. I don't know if these were the Target books or some other BBC book but either way it was great to hear Pertwee's voice again as the Doctor.

Some good some not

Never liked the peladon stories
Tho I like Pertwee, this is not his best

Nick Courtney and Sophie Aldred stories are very enjoyable and all 5 Stars

Worth it for that
If the first actual doctor ones bore you skip to them

tales from the tardis vol. 2

I have always been a big fan of Dr. Who. This second volume is some of the worst writing and dramatization that I've heard; sorry I downloaded it. Volume one was good, not so with volume two.

Truly awful.

With the exception of the first story, this series is not worth the time and effort involved in downloading! The plots are absurd and silly. The best part are the musical segues between chapters and stories.
