Book Reviews of Doctor Who: Fury from the Deep

Book Review: A Kraken re-awakes...
Summary: 5 Stars

Previously released on cassette in the early 1990s with a rather whimsical narration by Tom Baker (acting as the 4th Doctor looking back on a past adventure) - the sound quality of this edition is much improved and now features a rather more sober narration from Frazer Hines (Jamie in the story). There are even a couple of nice touches in the form of a trailer for the next adventure "Wheel in space" and the original continuity announcement for episode 6.

The plot itself is the oft-used base-under-seige variety with bucket and spadefuls of atmosphere piled on. For once, all of the regular cast are on fine form and given plenty to do. Patrick Troughton, as the second Doctor, is particularly good.

Add to this a (still) contemporary sounding location and realistic supporting characters - and the six episodes just fly by to conclude in a fairly poignant ending.
