The Daemons Audio Book
This was released in August has anybody else bought and listened to it
Barry Letts is a brilliant story teller and really voices the different characters well. I'd forgotten how the much this story differs from the televised version, but that makes it all the more enjoyable'Steed is one of my most valuable subjects he's too valuable to lose'

You know all I can remember about this story is that Yates and Benton bet on a highlights of a Rugby match from Twickenham (seems silly it's highlights - didn't someone catch the results).
Oddly enough, it's one of my favourite moments during Jon Pertwee - I think the only time Rugby appears in the series. Unless Doctor Who and the Scrum of Terror gets approved.

Barry Letts was a great narrator on 'Who and Me', his autobiography. If he's as good on The Daemons it should be a real treat!
I'd like to hear his Jo Grant impressionPity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

I love Miss Hawthorne's lisp!
I have to say this is one of the finest of all the BBC Target readings. Barry Letts is brilliant. His reading is magnificent, especially so when it comes to bringing the villagers to life. It's not a novelisation I knew too well- I think I read when I was quite young, and so I was really coming to it fresh. It's really quite good and funnily enough the Doctor comes over as less of a miserable, smug git in the book version than he does on TV!
Great stuff and highly recommended.

I've just got my handcuffs and my truncheon and that's enough.
