Customer Reviews

Doctor Who fans of all generations will delight in the arrival of this exciting remastered recording of a classic sci-fi story, The Krotons.

When the TARDIS lands on an unnamed planet, the Doctor and his companions encounter a race of mysterious, crystalline beings, dominating the humanoid Gonds with whom they share their world.

The Gonds are given hope twice a year, when the most capable students amongst them are taken on board the Kroton space ship - the Dynatrope - imbued with the belief that they have been chosen for higher purposes. The reality, however, is far more terrible than anything they could have ever imagined.

Will the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe manage to suss out the ill intentions of the terrible Krotons before they become their next unwitting victims?

Patrick Troughton plays the mercurial second incarnation of the Doctor in this gripping early Doctor Who adventure, first broadcast by the BBC in 1968, starring alongside Frazer Hines and Wendy Padbury.

This unique CD audiobook production also includes a bonus interview with Hines as he talks in length about his Doctor Who experiences, including the making of The Krotons. The Krotons is also available to download and enjoy on MP3 audiobook.
