Summary
Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen star in this classic audio adventure from 1976. The TARDIS's arrival, on a lonely stretch of beach at night, is closely followed by a slithering sound and a chilling roar. It marks the beginning of a terrifying adventure on present day Earth for the Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith.
The deadly Pescatons have arrived! Refugees from their own dying planet, these towering amphibians are led by the mighty Zor, whom the Doctor has encountered before. Soon the creatures have invaded London, wreaking death and destruction. The Doctor and Sarah must draw upon all their reserves of courage and ingenuity.
Doctor Who and the Pescatons is the original made-for-audio Doctor Who adventure, first released on vinyl LP in 1976. In an exclusive bonus interview, the late Elisabeth Sladen recalls her portrayal of the ever-popular Sarah Jane Smith, and what it was like to be part of the Doctor Who team in the 1970s.

Tom Baker Classic Doctor Who
Amazing story with Tom Baker & Elizabeth Sladen.
This is easily one of my favourite stories and one of the first stories I ever heard.

Great cast, lacklustre script
The tiny cast put in a great performance but are hampered by a script that just isn't very good and is too keen to wrap itself up as quickly as possible. Not entirely surprising considering this was the first proper outing for Doctor Who on audio but still a disappointment. The Target novelisation is leagues better than the source material. The Liz Sladen interview is a really nice extra, though.

an okay listen
This is not the best Doctor Who I have listened to. It is still worth a listen though.

First audio book and I loved it
I had never listened to audiobooks before, so I was pretty excited for this one.
The story was shorter than I expected but it was quite interesting and it kept me hooked.
I also enjoyed the interview with Elisabeth Sladen afterwards, very funny and amazing woman

Misleading
The story only takes up 50% of the running time, the rest is padding that I had no interest in. TB's narration is excellent and the story is quite enjoyable, but not great. It needed to be longer, as it feels like the cliff notes of an episode.

Never heard before but so glad I got this. Different style but interesting. Will definitely listen again. Fascinating interview as well! Well worth the money!
