In his first-ever Doctor Who novel, Tom Baker’s incredible imagination is given free rein. A story so epic it was originally intended for the big screen, Scratchman is a gripping, white-knuckle thriller almost 40 years in the making. The Doctor, Harry and Sarah Jane Smith arrive at a remote Scottish island when their holiday is cut short by the appearance of strange creatures - hideous scarecrows who are preying on the local population. The islanders are living in fear, and the Doctor vows to save them all.

Four exciting novelisations. In The Mysterious Planet, the Doctor is brought before the court of his fellow Time Lords.

In Terror of the Vervoids, the Matrix relates how the Doctor and Mel arrive on a space liner just as a series of grisly murders begins. In The Ultimate Foe, the Doctor asserts that the evidence of the Matrix has been tampered with.

The Good, The Average and The Oh Dear!
First 3 books I really enjoyed. Fury being one of my all-time favourites along with Pyramids. Stones being for me the best of the Key to Time saga. David Troughton, Tom Baker were of course excellent narrators and Susan Engel did a fantastic job with Stones, very easy to listen to. From there on the quality of the stories begin to decline. Nerys Hughes however does Sterling work in trying to bring to life the written version of a fairly average Davison era story which I found hard to stay with. Ghost Light I really struggled with. To be honest I had just about given up on Who by the time of McCoys final season and l think I watched about 10 minutes of Part 1 of GL. The audio story for me was complete and unadulterated trash with a very anti - Christian, left-wing, liberal agenda that was constantly promoted throughout.( I may have been a bit more forgiving if the overall story had been even average.)
But I endured to the end. Ian Hogg I found difficult to listen to but that said, any narrator would have struggled with that one. The bizarre thing is is that was written by Marc Platt who also penned Spare Parts for Big Finish which is my favourite BF production. Anyway there you go.
