This review is from: Doctor Who: The Krotons (Dramatised) (Audible Audio Edition)

Arriving on a desolate planet, the (Second) Doctor, Jamie and Zoe are surprised to find it inhabited by a human-like race, called the Gonds. However, something very strange is going on on this world. A mysterious people, called the Krotons, are apparently selecting the most intelligent of the Gonds, and after some experimentation, killing them. It is up to the Doctor to figure out what is happening and why, and save the Gonds. But first, he's going to have to keep himself and his companions alive!

This is a very good Patrick Troughton story that first aired December 28, 1968 to January 18, 1969, and is composed of four episodes. This two CD set features the soundtrack of the original show, ably narrated by Frazer Hines (who played Jamie McCrimmon). Overall, I think that the BBC did a fine job of taking the original television show, and remaking it as an audio production. I enjoyed hearing the Second Doctor again, and thought that this was a good sci-fi story. It's definitely worth hearing!
