About this listen
Materialising in a forest, the Doctor and friends find themselves 12 kilometres from Paris. It is the 18th century, and France is the scene of an ongoing battle between royalists and revolutionaries. Following a blaze at a farmhouse, Ian, Barbara, and Susan are separated from the Doctor and arrested as traitors. Ian receives information about James Stirling, an English spy vital to the revolution. No one seems to know where Stirling is, and locating him becomes Ian's priority.
The Doctor, meanwhile, arrives in Paris in the guise of a Regional Officer, and before long has an audience with Robespierre. With Robespierre's downfall imminent, and the revolution about to reach its climax, the Doctor and his friends must get away before they become victims of Madame Guillotine.
The remastered soundtrack of a classic story starring William Hartnell, with linking narration by Carole Ann Ford, who played Susan in these six episodes from 1964.

The travellers arrive in the dangerous domain of the Toymaker, where their failure to win at a series of games could result in them becoming his playthings for eternity. Apparently innocuous nursery characters reveal deadly intent, and for companions Steven and Dodo the stakes are raised with every game of blind man's buff and musical chairs. The Doctor, meanwhile, is rendered invisible and given the challenge of completing the fiendishly difficult Trilogic game.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Misleading description
The Description of this on audible indicates it is an audio of the target novelization by Ian Marter. It is not. It is the audio from the original broadcast of the show. So if you are specifically trying to listen to the target books, do not bother with this one which seems to not be available on audible. I should have known as William Hartnell is listed as the reader, but he has been dead for 45 years.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
