Reviews for Doctor Who Collection 6: The TV Episodes

Overall the highlights here are the work of the original cast members in bridging the action with narration, which adds a depth to the television scripts that was often lacking... if you’re looking for an alternative take on familiar adventures, or simply want the flexibility that audios offer, then this box-set is your answer.
