Summary

Louise Jameson reads this classic novelisation of a Fourth Doctor TV adventure featuring Leela and K9

Everyone knows that Pluto is a barren, airless rock. So naturally the Doctor is surprised when he discovers artificial suns and an ultramodern industrial city.

What’s more, a group of colonists is being worked — and taxed — to death in this inhospitable and supposedly undeveloped part of the Universe.

With the help of his companion Leela, and the faithful K9, the Doctor teams up with the rebels who inhabit the city’s underbelly. Together they take on the mysterious and powerful Company, a ruthless exploiter of
planets and their people.

Louise Jameson, who played Leela in the BBC series, reads Terrance Dicks’s unabridged novelisation of the 1977 TV adventure by Robert Holmes, starring Tom Baker as the Doctor.

You have nothing to lose but your chains

The Doctor starts a revolution (while quoting Karl Marx) in the most political story of the classic series.
Robert Holmes was a terrific TV writer, one of Who’s best. Here Terrence Dicks remains (mostly) faithful to the original Holmes offering. During the workers’ revolt an additional line, absent from Holmes’ original, “...things may have gone too far,” probably reflects Dicks’ slightly more moderate political views.
Politics aside, it’s an enjoyable romp, entertainingly read by Louise Jameson. And it’s always a pleasure to hear John Leeson’s K9 butt in from time to time.
