 |
|
| i read that this IS happening, i have no idea when though, if any one hears of a positive release date please let us know, this story for those of you not familiar with it, was a fourth doctor episode written by douglas adams (yes, THAT douglas adams) that was never finished, bits of it found it's way into the five doctors, it WAS released on vhs (remember those) with tom baker providing linking narration in his own inimitable fashion, and it was dramatized by big finish with paul mcganns 8th doctor on cd, and that, my friends is the readers digest history of shada, the great lost tom baker episode |

Elements of it also ended up in "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency", if I recall correctly.

Also had elements of 'City of Death' thrown in too. Someone getting blown up on primordial earth earth to jump-start life on earth.
A bit disappointed that the format of the book won't match with the old Target series books. But then again, they were a pretty mixed bunch of formats from the 70's to the 90's. I should just be happy that we're finally getting it! Hopefully Adams' other two un-novelised stories and Eric Saward's two Dalek ones will finally get a guernsey too.
I wouldn't hold my breath though. |
