Seven months after it left the red planet, Mars Probe 7 still hasn't returned to Earth. The Doctor and Liz Shaw join the investigation as a second capsule, Recovery 7, is sent to discover what has happened. But when it returns, something is terribly wrong with its three astronauts... The space-suited figures are kidnapped and Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart leads UNIT in a rescue attempt - whilst Liz finds herself at the mercy of dangerous fanatics. Only a solo space flight by the Doctor can break the deadlock surrounding the crew of Mars Probe 7. Closer to home, however, a deadly fear threatens a catastrophic end for the entire Earth. Jon Pertwee is the Doctor in the soundtrack of this classic 1970 BBC TV adventure, and Caroline John, who played Liz Shaw in the original episodes, provides linking narration for this exciting seven-part story. In a bonus interview she recalls the making of the TV serial, and her time on Doctor Who in general.

      This classic audio program pits the iconic Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee) and his UNIT colleagues against a shadowy conspiracy involving three mysterious, deadly figures who return to Earth in place of some kidnapped astronauts. The seven episodes of the original television serial are presented with crisp, clean sound and effective timing. The cast, particularly Caroline John as Liz Shaw, the Doctor's intrepid assistant; Nicholas Courtney as Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart; and Pertwee's forceful, mercurial Doctor, is in full voice. Whitaker's script draws upon classic "first-contact" tropes to provide the listener with a thoroughly enjoyable flashback to the early days of televised science fiction. S.M.W.
