This review is from: Doctor Who: The Mind of Evil (Audible Audio Edition)

When the (third) Doctor journeys to Stangmoor Prison to observe a demonstration of the Keller Machine, which is designed to take away a convicts negative emotions, he is appalled by what he sees. There is something evil about the machine and the Doctor must convince the powers that be that it must be destroyed. Meanwhile, it appears that someone is trying to sabotage the World Peace Conference, and Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart wants the Doctor to help him get to the bottom of it. Little do either realize that the same evil mastermind is behind both plot - the Doctor's old nemesis, the Master. Can the Doctor defeat the Master's evil plan and prevent a catastrophe of global proportions?

Overall, I found this to be a pretty good episode. It is a little odd at times, especially the "Keller Machine's" powers, but nonetheless it really is a good solid Jon Pertwee episode.

I found this to be a good audio version of the television show - the BBC took the soundtrack of the show and glued it together with narration provided by Richard Franklin (who played Captain Mike Yates!) to let you know what you are missing by not seeing it. I really liked hearing the Doctor and Liz and the Brigadier again, and Richard Franklin did a very good job as the narrator. As an added bonus, an interview with Mr. Franklin is included.

Yeah, this is a very good audiobook, one that I am very glad I listened to. Long live the Doctor!
