Doctor Who - Audio Details

The library on Kar-Charrat is one of the wonders of the Universe. It is also hidden from all but a few select species. The Doctor and Ace discover that the librarians have found a new way of storing data - a wetworks facility - but the machine has attracted unwanted attention, and the Doctor soon finds himself pitted against his oldest and deadliest enemies - the Daleks!

"Exterminate!".

For any child born in the mid sixties then that word was probably the longest in their vocabulary at school.  Indeed, any six-year-old with a sink plunger and an egg whisk could chant it endlessly and be transformed into one of the most terrifying creatures in the universe.  It was therefore with the undisguised glee of a six-year-old that I greeted the news that I was to write Big Finish's first Dalek story.  In the four years that I worked on Doctor Who as a visual effects designer I never got to work with the Daleks, and so it has been a delight to join the handful of writers who have been allowed to 'play' with Terry Nation's creations.

Now, if you will excuse me, I'm going to find a sink plunger and take over the world.
