The Doctor investigates - and soon uncovers a sinister plot to colonise the Earth. The Gaderene are on their way....

Classic 3rd Doctor yarn
If you could sum up Doctor Who: The Last of the Gaderene in three words, what would they be?
Gatiss Writes Who!
What other book might you compare Doctor Who: The Last of the Gaderene to, and why?
Harvest of Time, mostly because they are both classic 3rd doctor stories written from a modern perspective but faithful to classic who
Have you listened to any of Richard Franklin’s other performances? How does this one compare?
This is the first time i've heard him. I wouldn't say he was a 100% fit for the job but he evoked the character of 70's who very well
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Maybe
Any additional comments?
I recommend this and harvest of time to any 3rd Doctor fan

A smile is not always to be trusted...
An excellent tale well told. Nostalgic yet upto date this story has lots of thrills and tension; it is really well performed all adding to this atmospheric scffi children's (old and young) horror.

Best Dr Who Audio Book
I have enjoyed a number of the Dr Who story's available on audible. I tend to stick to story's that are earth based, this particular tale had real mystery, suspense and drama.

Wonderful
Transported back to the wonderful Peetwee era. Thrills, spills and mysterious goings on in a quaint English village form the perfect backdrop for an adventure with The Third Doctor, Jo and UNIT.

not one of the better ones
I get the vibe that this is going for - a traditional, nostalgic 3rd Dr and Unit Vs Alien Invasion story.
however - I found this attempt utterly boring, and can't understand the positive reviews. I've read other 3rd Dr books and listened to several audiobooks and the successful 3rd Dr ones FOCUS on the Dr, Unit and Brig etc. This tale wastes far far too much time on other, less interesting characters. I really didn't care about the various residents of the village and despaired every time yet ANOTHER character was introduced.
By the time the regular characters do pop up I find I don't care, I'm just bored. Tedious, repetitive and not very good. The author has written far better than this.
And the narrator....as lovely as it is to hear Mike Yates, he's narrating something with Mike virtually absent, a wasted opportunity. And he frankly isn't very good at capturing the Dr etc.
can't really find much to recommend this one. there's much much better Dr Who books on here - listen to them instead
