PUBLISHER’S SUMMARY: Its happening, Brigadier! It's happening!' Sarah cried out. The Brigadier watched, fascinated, as the lifeless body of his old friend and companion, Dr Who, suddenly began to glow with an eerie golden light... The features were blurring, changing.... 'Well, bless my soul,' said the Brigadier. 'Who will be next?' The last exciting adventure of Doctor Who's third incarnation.

AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Giant, intelligent spiders from the planet Metebelis 3 have been constructing a device which will expand their already formidable mental powers throughout the universe. The device is an intricate latticework made of very special blue crystals, and only one more crystal is needed to complete it. It just so happens that that final crystal is in the possession of Doctor Who on Earth. By projecting their mental powers, the spiders are able to take control of a few humans on Earth, and use them to steal the crystal and transport it to Metebelis 3. But these eight-legged fiends have seriously underestimated Doctor Who.
I’ve listened to a couple of these Doctor Who adventures now, and I have to say they’re a lot of fun. There’s always plenty of action and thrills, and also a fair amount of that dry British humour. If you’re looking for something deep and meaningful, this isn’t for you. If you just want to be entertained for a few hours, you should definitely check out Doctor Who.
The Planet of the Spiders is based on actual episodes of the BBC television series. The six part storyline originally aired on television in May and June of 1974. This audio production was written by Terrance Dicks in 2009 and is available from AudioGo, formerly known as BBC Audiobooks America. The audiobook is narrated by Elisabeth Sladen, who starred as the Doctor’s companion Sarah Jane Smith in the original airing.
