Doctor Who: The Moonbase (TV Soundtrack)

De: Gerry Davis

Narrado por: Frazer Hines, Full Cast, Patrick Troughton

'There are some corners of the universe which have bred the most terrible things... they must be fought.' In 2070 Earth's weather is controlled by the Gravitron, a device based on the Moon and manned by an international team of experts. When the TARDIS deposits the Doctor and his companions on the zero-gravity surface, they discover the base in the grip of a plague epidemic which is drastically reducing the personnel. The Doctor's curiosity is aroused by the mysterious infection. With the base's own medic himself incapacitated, the time traveller offers his services to the ailing crew. Can he pinpoint the source of contamination before time runs out? Jamie, meanwhile, is recovering in the Sick Bay from a blow to the head. In his delirium, can that really be the Phantom Piper come to haunt him - or is it something far more deadly? Soon an invasion force from Mondas descends, its aim to take control of the Gravitron and decimate Earth's population with waves of extreme weather. All remaining humans will be converted to the Cyber race...©2003 BBC Worldwide Ltd; (P)2000, 2001 BBC Worldwide Ltd

Classic Cyberman story.

A real classic. The Cybermen will become to Second Doctor, what the Daleks were to First Doctor. His big bad guy. They will make three more appearances in Troughton's series, while the Daleks will only appear twice. The second Doctor will make one more trip to the moon one more time after this. The story Seeds of Death. A great story and great audio.

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

it made me gasp in horror at the idiocy of bbc's decision to earase it, or any other doctor who story, for that matter

Any additional comments?

all doctor who is amazing. exept the sixth doctor. he's just blghfrtfh.

Cyberman voices detract from the story

Harder for me to follow because of the Cyberman voices but I enjoyed the Doctor and Jamie as always. I'll have to listen to it a few more times.

Wish all the old episodes were available like this

These features, which combine the soundtrack from the original episode with what they call "linking narration" (AKA someone talking over the quiet bits to describe what's happening) are a great way to enjoy the Doctor Who program - they make me feel at least some of what it must have been like to watch these episodes on TV as a child, and since there's no video, the special effects are as good as your imagination can contrive.
