LONDON lies in ruins following a decimating plague and devastating invasion, with brainwashed Robomen enforcing control for their masters, the deadly Daleks. Separated from the TARDIS, the Doctor and his companions join forces with an underground resistance group, striving to survive in the face of overwhelming odds. Fleeing the capital in the wake of a failed strike against the Dalek mothership, the crew make a perilous journey across England to discover why the Daleks are drilling into the depths of Bedfordshire, and what the real reason is behind their ruthless invasion... Terrance Dicks' novelisation is read by William Russell, who played the Doctor's companion Ian Chesterton in the 1964 original serial, with Dalek voices by Nicholas Briggs. This is a relentless look at a Britain ground into the dirt by an oppressive conqueror, with obvious parallels to what would have happened if we had lost the Second World War, including black marketers, fifth columnists and of course the Nazi-like Daleks overseeing all. An all-time classic Who story, well worth a fresh listen.
