What are you afraid of?
Order now: amzn.to/2RFCEmo
In his first-ever Doctor Who novel, Tom Baker’s incredible imagination is given free rein. A story so epic it was originally intended for the big screen, Scratchman is a gripping, white-knuckle thriller almost forty years in the making.
The Doctor, Harry and Sarah Jane Smith arrive at a remote Scottish island, when their holiday is cut short by the appearance of strange creatures - hideous scarecrows, who are preying on the local population. The islanders are living in fear, and the Doctor vows to save them all. But it doesn’t go to plan - the time travellers have fallen into a trap, and Scratchman is coming for them.
With the fate of the universe hanging in the balance, the Doctor must battle an ancient force from another dimension, one who claims to be the Devil. Scratchman wants to know what the Doctor is most afraid of. And the Doctor’s worst nightmares are coming out to play…

Hi!

Are you looking for a jelly baby, Doctor Who?

@carealoo744 5 лет назад

You're Awesome Tom Baker! No matter how bad: 'Series 11,' gets, we all will remember the masterpieces, of your era! :)

@buffyoda3420 5 лет назад

Can I just ask, who actually runs this channel (like commenting and stuff)?

@carealoo744 5 лет назад

Yeah, you do realize that we don't exactly complain about: 'Series 11,' for no reason, right? We honestly think the fact that you're not bringing back the: 'Valyard,' 'Rani,' 'Meddling Monk, (Which, you had a perfect opportunity, to bring back, in: 'Rosa,')' 'Susan,' 'Ian,' 'Ace,' 'Paul McGann,' etc, is kind of disappointing? And, although I hate to say it, these actors aren't going to be around forever.

I don't think there's many whovians on the planet, that would he worse, than: 'Chris Chibnall.'

@FreeTheDonbas 5 лет назад

You guys can f-off. Steven Muppet & Russel T. Rabies were hacks too. The reason the BBC continue to make the show plagiaristic, melodramatic, cartoony trash is to appeal to you losers, the least you can do is appreciate it, instead of rage quitting over a superficial non-change, which is an integral part of the show's longevity.

@ronacord9056 5 лет назад

I think Jodie does a good job as the Doctor, in my opinion she plays it a little like Mr. Baker. How ever some of the stories have been a little lame.

@greendalek303 5 лет назад

I read a fascinating account by the late Ian Marter, describing his and Tom's initial concept for this story, their meetings with director James Hill, and the task of shopping it around to various production companies (and of course raising money!). While it was never greenlit, there was certainly buzz. It appears that they even heard from Vincent Price, who'd expressed an interest in playing Scratchman! So wonderful that we finally get to sink our teeth into this epic story! I like to think Ian Marter would have been proud.

@AlanMN 5 лет назад

What a FABULOUS audiobook this is (but I'm only halfway through it yet, so No Spoilers given or wanted!). When Tom is Dr Who he throws himself into the part which, apart from a few breaks, has been his alter-ego for more than 40 years on screen and radio/audio books. To have a Dr Who book which he himself has written, which such knowledge and experience, is a true marvel. Instead of hamming up the text, it's pre-hammed before he gets his wonderful oratory powers around it. Even how he announces the chapters is superbly done, with a cheeky, I'm-over-80-but-still-with-a-wicked-glint-in-my-eye manner. Please sir - can we have some more? This is the best thing who've ever done :)

@stevetayler9518 5 лет назад

How awesome would it be, now that Tom is back on board, if Big Finish could do a re-jigged, audio only version of ‘The Five Doctors’ with new dialogue from Tom spliced in. Tom could read reworded responses to Elizabeth Sladen’s original lines, thus matching him with Sarah Jane. Then Katy Manning, as Jo Grant, could read Sarah Jane’s original lines in response to Jon Pertwee. Convoluted? Yes. In keeping with The Five Doctors script twists? Also yes.
