DOCTOR WHO: STRANDED 1

Paul McGann, the eighth Doctor (1996), returns to the Who universe to lead a stellar cast in this original audio tale that offers a strange twist. There's no time traveling. The TARDIS time machine is out of commission, and the good Doctor and his companions, merrily played by well-established British actors Nicola Walker and Hattie Morahan, must content themselves with making friends, cleaning up the neighborhood, and, maybe, falling in love, all while stranded in modern-day London. There is a conversational feel to this earthbound episode that allows the cast to dig into their characters. But don't worry--something mysterious is just around the corner. Stranded 1 is the first of a four-part series, so expect a few unanswered questions and a cliff-hanger or two. B.P. 2021 Audies Winner © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2021]
