“There goes my TARDIS!”
Demon Records celebrates David Tennant and Catherine Tate’s partnership as the Doctor and Donna with two audio-exclusive stories, read by the actors themselves.
In Pest Control, read by David Tennant, the Doctor and Donna face monstrous insects and a ruthless robot exterminator when the TARDIS is lost in battle on a distant planet. The Doctor sets off in pursuit of his craft, while Donna finds herself accepting a commission in the Pioneer Corps. Something is transforming soldiers into monstrous beetles – and she could be the next victim.
In The Forever Trap, read by Catherine Tate, the duo find themselves imprisoned in a complex of luxury apartments in space, and neighbours to a terrifying assortment of aliens. Deadly mobs wage battle in the corridors and on the stairwells, and the travellers must cross their paths as they search for the ultimate authority. Who, or what, lies at the heart of the Edifice?
This stunning box set, with an illustrated lift-off lid, features 6 x 140g vinyl LPs – three in Transparent Red and three in Transparent Yellow – each housed in a unique inner sleeve. A four page booklet features sleeve notes by authors Peter Anghelides and Dan Abnett, who reflect on the process of writing for the Tenth Doctor and Donna, and how they regard the stories 17 years later.
Now for the first time on vinyl, accompanied by original sound design and Murray Gold’s Series 4 arrangement of the familiar theme music, these two high-octane adventures are a reminder of the excitement, humour and magical wonder of Doctor Who.

September 16th, 2024 - 9:02pmIt’s Down to around 50 Pounds now so I finally bit. I saw it on the Front Page on here a couple of days ago.
I can’t see it going much Cheaper. It’s well worth The Money anyway. If you take into account most LPs are over 20 Pounds and there’s Six in this Set, that’s 120 Pound.
So I think it’s a Bargain really.

September 17th, 2024 - 5:41pmJust arrived at 5.30 Today. This Morning I had a Window from Amazon, Could be Delivered Anytime Today before 10pm Tonight. (Thought it was abit of a random time). Didn’t even realize the Drivers were Working at that time at Night. They put the Royal Mail to Shame.
Anyway, it’s here.

November 20th, 2023 - 6:01pmI think they’re getting a bit carried away with these box sets. 10 LPs for the Tom Baker Nest chronicles which were on 5 CDs, and now 3 LPs to tell 2 CDs worth of narrated story. Id rather have more sountracks

Over 4 hours for both I think it’s forever trap that’s the longest 130 mins 2hrs 10 . Lps take up around 18 mins of music anymore and the fidelity goes a bit . Spoken word you could get 22 mins at a big push without too much problem. Say 20 mins per side 120 mins
