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 of 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. Can they succeed? And, what is more important, will they ever see their native Earth again? William Russell, who created the role of Ian in the original television series of Doctor Who, reads David Whitaker s complete and unabridged novelisation, first published in hardback in 1964. The book went on to spearhead the Target Books range of Doctor Who titles, and it is one of the best-loved novelisations to be based on the programme.

The original Dalek story
9. Oktober 2000
Von "grrreg"
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
The second televised Doctor Who story introduced one of the most important elements in the show's history: the Daleks, the most constant opponents of the Doctor through his many lives. So popular were they that this novel was published in 1964. Written by the show's original script editor, it is not a straight adaptation of the show it is based on.
Mr Whitaker starts the novel with a variant version of the first episode of the series, although Ian is not a teacher and Susan has a different surname (English instead of Foreman). This version is rather more atmospheric than the equivalent in the novelisation of An Unearthly Child. In fact, writing the book in the first person (narrated by Ian) is an excellent device in this book.
Moving on into the story proper, it is again not a simple adaptation of the televised story. While fairly faithful, some of the deviations (like the glass Dalek) add interest in a way that the show could not actually portray at the time. The Thal characters are fairly well outlined (given that they are quite flat in the original serial), and the descriptions of the planetary environs is also good.
Way back when, Doctor Who books included line drawing illustrations. I've never been impressed with these, but those in this book are among the best, and obviously based on stills from the original.
An excellent, if inaccurate, adaptation of an important story. A pity they aren't all this good.

A great way experience Classic Doctor Who
26. August 2012
Von Andrew
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
Having never seen a single episode of the original Doctor Who, the notion of 40 years of backstory is a bit daunting. But with this book, and the whole series reprints BBC Books is publishing, it's easier than ever the dive in to some classic Doctor Who stories.
This particular volume is a reprint of the first ever Doctor Who novelisation, itself an adaptation of the second Doctor Who tv serial. But Steve Whitaker did a brilliant job of not just adapting a classic sci-fi tele-play to prose, but making of it a wonderfully fun, and very engaging novel.
It's definitely a quick and easy read, but well worth it for any fan of fun sci-fi romps.
Bear in mind that all these novels are a totally authentic way, and in the case of many of the older Doctor who stories, the only way, to experience a piece of sci-fi history. The new introductions, as well as summaries of the various characters backgrounds, and a "Between the Lines" section giving a brief history of not only the novel, but the original tv serials themselves, are welcome additions that make these reprints well worth the $6.99 price tag.

I'm glad I bought this book, and it is different from the TV show, which is not a bad thing. I thought that An Unearthly Child was the first novelzation of the show, but it's not. Anyway this book does not disapoint at all. I hope that profits for these six reprints of the old Doctor Who stories are large eneough, so that more of these stories will be printed. There are of course Target books out there avaiable, but the ones that are new, quite often are out of my price range, while these are not. I'm sure that I'm not the only one who hopes that more of these old stories will be reprinted, and the sooner the better!
