Doctor Who: Destiny of the Daleks Audio CD

Doctor Who: Destiny of the Daleks Audio CD
Released November 2012
written by Terry Nation.

Having returned to their home planet Skaro, the Daleks are excavating their former city – but for what?

The Doctor and Romana soon find themselves caught in the middle of a war between two different races.

This full-cast TV adventure from 1979 stars Tom Baker as the Doctor alongside Lalla Ward as Romana, who also provides specially recorded linking narration. In a bonus interview Lalla recalls her time on Doctor Who, whilst additional pdf files contain colour scans of the original episode camera scripts.

    I love listening to Doctor who on CD Audio. Bòth the Target Novels and audio televised stories. Wish they would bring more of the televised stories out

    I am going to buy this television soundtrack release of Destiny of the Daleks and I think it would be best to release every complete Dr Who serial on cd as television soundtracks and I would buy them and enjoy listening to them.

    Even though i have this on DVD, I will buy this C.D. release, it’s nice to listen to your favourite stories sometimes and you can imagine. Remember the Joyce Grenfell story of the twins, one loved television and one loved radio, when asked ”why do you like radio”, the reply was ”i love radio, because you see the pictures more clearly”. Nothing more wonderful on a very rainy day, with a bowl of soup, in the peace and quiet of your own house. listening to a C.D. of a favourite Dalek/Davros story, where you have to use your imagination.

    Destiny of the daleks was a poor target novel. maybe they should of got somebody else to wright a new novel of the story and get Tom Baker to read it.

      certainly one of the thinnest target novels! I actually think Destiny is a poor dalek story anyway – I think an audiobook version rather than a soundtrack would have been preferable in this case really.

    Nice cover, thou the Daleks should not have blue lights on the their eye stalks, only modern Time War Daleks have blue lights.

    I reckon they sould do City of Death next. And then possibly the recorded material of Shada with John Leeson and Lalla Ward doing the narration duties.

      Oh… I haven’t seen it in Waterstones. Do they not sell them? Mind you, they don’t really stock anything Doctor Who. 🙂

      Is City of Death coming out as a soundtrack or audiobook? Would be fantastic to get an audiobook version as it was never novelised by Target.

    I fail to see why anyone would want to buy these. If you can get the DVD with special features and not have to have the action spoken to you, why get the CD? And why have AudioGO released this after the DVD was released?

      The answers obvious

      why do people buy Music cd’s and not The music video DVD then?

    • the TARDIS

      Music’s different, it’s intended to be listened to. And I always think – after listening to mums video of the Lightening Seeds – that music videos are sort of scary! 😀 And shortly after saying that, I looked back at the other soundtrack releases that bbc audio did, and though about production quality on Destiny of the Daleks. Then it all made perfect sense!

      no its for the same reason as people buy books of the same story

      Some people like to listen to it in the car, on the way to work in their headphones on the bus or listen to at night time.

      I do it all the time

      Yeah, I really enjoy the classic novels readings. Some of the readers are brilliant! And it also makes sense because you don’t have to see a shabby looking Dalek trundling through a quarry, you can picture it and it looks a lot better. I love big finish stories, but sometimes find that there is a drawback in not being able to see the action – I’m coming around to the idea of these CDs.

      How many people are old enough on here to have done this…..before we had a video recorder I used to use my tape recorder (used with my Spectrum 48K) and put it next to the TV to record the soundtrack of each episode of Dr Who and then listen to them over and over – it’s the one reason the Trial of a Timelord theme is my favourite version! Happy memories! Thankfully I had a video player by the time Paradise Towers started 😆
