Baker’s End: The King of Cats Audio CD

Available to order from www.amazon.co.uk

Peevish ACTORS are descending mournfully upon the remote English village of HAPPENSTANCE for the funeral of TV legend TOM BAKER. His one-time co-star Suzy Goshawk is SUCKED into a PAROCHIAL vortex of intrigue involving the quailsome local vicar, Tom’s acidulous housekeeper Mrs Frimbly and various other fruminous SCUMBLEBUMS.

None of them can agree upon how Tom met his disastrous end and Suzy is starting to suspect that something MURKSOME and SWERVISH is going on. The snow comes down and SUZY finds herself trapped at BAKER’S END for Christmas, with all the village’s creepy pensioners enslaved by a strange, dancing dragon… and a Sinister Presence LURKING on the sidelines.

Why are old ladies TWERKING their BOTTOMS outside the post office-cum-mini-mart? Why is the vicar creeping about in the bushes in the dead of night? And why, just when all looks hopeless, does a strange, scobberlotching creature SPROING into view?

Who exactly is THE KING OF CATS in his furry costume and his battered golden crown? Also, there are elderly MUMBLECRUSTS who shoot LASERS out of their KNOCKERS. Baker’s End: The King of Cats is the first in a new audio series starring ex-Timelord Tom Baker as himself, alongside former Doctor Who companion Katy Manning, and Susan Jameson, who played opposite Tom in the AudioGo Doctor Who audio series

    I know Doctor Who is about time travel but… he’s not dead yet 🙁 This is pretty depressing to think about!

    It’s absolutely bonkers, but a great listen. There’s no Doctor Who connection (unless the alternate reality is because Tom never secured the Doctor Who gig?), but you could always decide it’s a Curator story!

    Paul Magrs wrote the 4th Doctor Audios for Audio Go, They Are: Hornet’s Nest, Demon Quest, And Serpent Crest. They were all infinitely better than the big finish audios which I also Love. This is most likely an excellent purchase… Im in and hope Big Finish hires Paul for some Audio dramas.

      He’s already done a considerable few like The Peterloo Massacre, Find and Replace, The Stones of Venice and Horror of Glam Rock 🙂

    They had me at laser knockers, to be honest. Yeah it sounds really odd, but a great cast so I’m going to take a leap of faith and get this
