Tom Baker reprises the role of the Fourth Doctor in the first of five thrilling brand new audio adventures, with Richard Franklin as Mike Yates. ' Wanted: retired army Captain for light household duties & fireside companionship. Must tolerate mild eccentricity & strong scientific advice. Knowledge of Giant Maggots, Super Intelligent Spiders & Prehistoric Monsters a positive boon'. Responding to an advert apparently worded for him alone, Captain Mike Yates (retired) is reunited with a ghost from the past. But why has the Doctor, that mysterious traveller in Time & Space, sent for his former UNIT acquaintance? Trapped by a horde of vicious creatures in an apparently innocuous English country cottage, the two old friends are on the brink of an enormous adventure. As the Doctor relates his recent escapades, it becomes clear to Mike that they
- & the Earth at large
- are facing an enemy of unimaginable power & horrific intent. The nightmare is only just beginning... With Susan Jameson as Mrs Wibbsey & Daniel Hill as Percy Noggins. '...a lively mix of humour & horror...'
