Geoffrey Beevers reads this exciting novelisation of a classic TV adventure for the Fourth Doctor, as played on TV by Tom Baker.

The huge, octopus-like Kroll lives deep in the swamps of the humid, steamy planet Delta Three. To the native swamp-warriors, Kroll is an angry, mythical god. To the money-grabbing alien technicians, it is a threat to their profit-making scheme.

When the Doctor and Romana arrive, in search of another segment of the Key to Time, they have to face the suspicion of the lagoon dwellers, the stupidity of the technicians and, finally, the power of Kroll itself….

Geoffrey Beevers, who played the Master in the TV series, reads Terrance Dicks’s novelisation of a 1978 TV adventure by Robert Holmes.

    Looking as though Amazon are no longer selling the CDs anymore then ! Never shopped with Waterstones before so will have to give them a go. I hope we get to the end of the range with physical options still available!! We’re so close now. If Amazon are stopping the disks though that does concern me a bit.
    Is there a September release ?? We’ve got Kroll in October and Battlefield in December but nothing listed for September or even November

      Yes, he wore three ‘flying duck’ badges as a visual joke referencing the famous fifties wall ornaments. In the same vein as the paint palette badges he wore in ‘City of Death’.

      I’ve always wanted to find some myself!
