Publisher's summary

Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen star in this classic audio adventure from 1976. The TARDIS's arrival, on a lonely stretch of beach at night, is closely followed by a slithering sound and a chilling roar. It marks the beginning of a terrifying adventure on present day Earth for the Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith.

The deadly Pescatons have arrived! Refugees from their own dying planet, these towering amphibians are led by the mighty Zor, whom the Doctor has encountered before. Soon the creatures have invaded London, wreaking death and destruction. The Doctor and Sarah must draw upon all their reserves of courage and ingenuity.

Doctor Who and the Pescatons is the original made-for-audio Doctor Who adventure, first released on vinyl LP in 1976. In an exclusive bonus interview, the late Elisabeth Sladen recalls her portrayal of the ever-popular Sarah Jane Smith, and what it was like to be part of the Doctor Who team in the 1970s.

Very sub-par, but maybe a product of the times

Maybe this just doesn’t age well, but the dialogue is horrible, nothing like the witty lines from the show or other works. The Doctor is so callous, not even an attempt to find an alternate solution. Also, the sounds effects are brutal on the ears, you need to constantly adjust the volume to turn down the screeching/screaming.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
