Publisher's summary

This is Doctor Who's first exciting adventure with the Daleks! Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright travel with the mysterious Doctor Who and his granddaughter, Susan, to the planet Skaro in the space-time machine, the TARDIS. There they strive to save the peace-loving Thals from the evil intentions of the hideous Daleks!

Doctor Who and the Daleks is the classic novelisation of the Doctor's first TV encounter with the Daleks. Written by the programme's original story editor, David Whitaker, it is narrated by the character of Ian Chesterton, one of the first ever TARDIS companions.

Now, in an exclusive recording, the actor who played Ian on television, William Russell, reads the complete and unabridged novelisation.

Amazing!

This alternate version of the doctor TV serial is incredible! I would highly recommend to both fans of The Daleks original episodes and newcomers to Doctor who!

Re: A different take

This alternative tale combines a twist on the events in, "A Unearthly Child," episode before moving the principle characters straight into the events of the original Dalek story episodes. The narrative is more adult in tone, more like the second Dalek tale on television, and the narrator is clear and easy to follow thoughout. The episodes, covering more ground, have less running to a cliffhanger aspect than the originals too.
