Nice 😊. I wonder who is reading the 5th doctor story. According to the tardis wiki page it's a Nyssa and Tegan story. Janet or Sarah I would presume.

I'm intrigued by the audio annual, as a kid the Dr who annual was a big thing each xmas, & i spent years finally collecting a complete set of the original annuals, does anyone know if there is a trailer for this anywhere on the web ?

I'm too young to know the annuals, so I'm defiantly picking up this release. Very intrested to step into this side-step universe and it has a great selection of readers.

Listening now on Audible. Full of "And then Doctor Who did this, and Doctor Who did that...." and "He walked into TARDIS" wonderfulness. No "the". It almost feels of a piece with the Cushing films as much as the televised Hartnell era. Lovely stuff.

so i was browsing best selling sci fi audio books on amazon and there is a ton of big finish stuff on the list. so i started browsing dr who audios which lead me to the above mentioned and many other BBC dr who audios. i
ignored the cds that were audio tracks from tv episodes. even still amazon has many bbc dr who audios. many of them said full cast audios which they were not they just audio books with a single narrator. but they had man y pf
the same dr who actors that work for big finish. so i was trying to figure out where they done prior to big finish some of them looked like they were from 70s and 80s. others sounded from the descriptions to being very much
like a companion chronicle. so i have several questions. did bbc try to break into the dr who audio business after the success of big finish? how many hours a year did actors like frazer hines and katy manning work doing dr
who audios? i ve seen dan starkey name on quite a few.
can anyone clear up my confusion. and any recommendations?

Tales of the TARDIS volume 2 does have McGann reading the novelisation of the TV movie, as well as three short stories. It was originally released as an MP3 CD (for stories previously released on cassette), but don't buy that expensive one you've seen - BBC released it again last year as a clam-shell box set of regular CDs...

can anyone clear up my confusion. and any recommendations? Other than three radio plays (one Colin Baker during his time on the show and two with Pertwee in the 90s) and an 70s LP of Tom Baker, these were all created after Big Finish had begun. However, not many of them are full-cast. Most of them are audiobooks, some original and some readings of existing novels. One actor per story (although ocassionally Briggsy gets called in to be Cyberified or Dalekised). There is one stand-out story I've heard, though, called Dead Air, where David Tennant is narrating as the Doctor (and so it's kind of a full-cast-of-one story like a few of the monthly Short Trips). The exception to this rule though? All of the ones with Tom Baker. He returned to audio with AudioGO before he signed on with Big Finish, and they produced fifteen semi-narrated semi-acted episodes over three story arcs, all written by Paul Magrs. I've seen mixed reviews of those but I personally enjoyed them. Different flavour than BF's Fourth Doctor stuff, certainly.

Well, only the early ones are like that - it's the way the annuals were. Not much that can be done about that!

I listened to this over Xmas, and it is exactly what it says on the tin.......Old annual stories, written for young boys in the 60’s
Old fashioned, short with a big dose of nostalgia. It’s like finding an old dr who toy, rubbish by today’s standards but has a charm of its own.
Not sure if it will be under 30’s cup of tea but a treat for us old-en’s
