On Skaro, the home world of the Daleks, the Doctor encounters the militaristic Movellans - who have come to Skaro on a secret mission - whilst his companion Romana falls into the hands of the Daleks themselves. It soon becomes apparent that the Daleks have returned to their abandoned home city with a crucial objective, one which they hope will give them the advantage in a strategic war. When the Doctor realises what the Daleks are up to, he is compelled to intervene. But he has not bargained for the Movellans having a few secrets of their own, and soon he, Romana and the human refugee Tyssan are wondering who exactly they can trust. Moreover, will they be able to avert the Daleks from their self-proclaimed destiny? Lalla Ward narrates this classic full-cast TV adventure, written by Terry Nation, and in a special bonus interview she recalls her time as Romana in the BBC TV series.

      For someone who once knitted a floor-sweeping Doctor Who scarf, and who cried when Doctor Who (as played by Tom Bell) was killed in an episode, any resurrection of Doctor Who is cause for celebration. Alas, these BBC productions are sorely disappointing. Although billed as radio dramas, they are actually early television programs that have been digitally re-mastered and to which linking narration has been added. I want to say it works, but it doesn't. The re-mastering does not improve the sound quality. Actors' voices become audible, then inaudible as they move about on the television set, necessitating much irritable adjustment of the volume control on one's CD player. And the linking narration is simply that--a somewhat dull narrative of what's happening during the surprising number of silent action shots. The lesson may be that the beloved early "Doctor Who" television shows should be left alone--re-mastering does not do justice to our memories. A.C.S. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
