Doctor Who The Web Planet 1st Doctor Audio CD

Available to order from www.amazon.co.uk

This narrated TV soundtrack stars William Hartnell as the Doctor in one of his most weird and wonderful adventures.

“We seem to be caught! Trapped, somehow…”

In this vintage six-part serial, first shown on BBC TV in February and March 1965, a strange magnetic force pulls the TARDIS down to the craterous surface of Vortis. The Doctor and his friends learn that the planet has been invaded, and the parasitic Animus is slowly enveloping it in a web-like domain. The giant ant-like Zarbi are under its control, whilst the butterfly-like Menoptra are battling to reclaim their planet.

Narrated by Maureen O’Brien, this full-cast soundtrack evokes a classic Doctor Who adventure in all its aural magnificence. The alien ambience of Vortis, the insistent chirruping of the Zarbi, and the supernatural voice of the Animus are all accompanied by the eerie sonics of Ron Grainer & Delia Derbyshire’s theme tune.

Written by Bill Strutton, this was the Doctor’s most exotic and lavish adventure yet.

Running time: 2 hours 40 minutes

      They could do the lot for me, they are perfect to listen to ,eyes closed and relaxed. I can watch them anytime but its sometimes too much trouble to get the DVDs and Blu-rays into the machine and then all those intros.

      I’m thinking it’s the reading of the novel by William Russell . Which was released on MP3 around 2004 , but has never been released on CD.

      I’m hoping it’s the soundtrack. Got the vinyl version but it’s not very practical in the car. The audiobook was released on CD. I got it in a set with THE DALEKS and THE CRUSADERS.

      It’s a bit confusing whether this is the soundtrack or the Target novel reading.

      It’s the same as the LP release with Maureen O Brien doing the narration

      The novelisation reading has been released on CD, in Travels In Time And Space tin along with The Crusaders and The Daleks. Many years ago!

      Also the target novelisation was Doctor Who and the Zarbi, not The Web Planet.
