Story4.5 out of 5 stars 20
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 40 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.

An unabridged reading of the brand-new novel based on a storyline by Douglas Adams. The Doctor promised Romana the end of the universe, so she's less than impressed when what she gets is a cricket match. But then the award ceremony is interrupted by 11 figures in white uniforms and peaked skull helmets wielding bat-shaped weapons that fire lethal bolts of light into the screaming crowd. The Krikkitmen are back.

Tom Baker returns as The Fourth Doctor (2009-2011)
Almost ten years ago, this was one of Tom Baker's early "audio" returns to the character of The Fourth Doctor with what turned into a three part series - "Hornet's Nest", "Demon Quest", and "Serpent Quest". Eventually these were collected into "The Nest Cottage Chronicles" in 2015, but oddly enough this didn't get the all important Audible Release until April 2019.
Content is about 16 hours 37 minutes with another hour of "extras".
Basic Cast is Tom Baker (of course!) and Susan Jameson as Mrs Wibbsey, with Richard Franklin (who played Capt. Mike Yates of U.N.I.T.) Also in the final two episodes of Serpent Quest, David Troughton plays the role of "The 2nd Doctor" which allows for a little Dueling Doctors Humor (sort of.. ..spoilers).
Downloads are One Big File (17h 37m) or Two Files broken into (14h 38m) and (2h 58m).
Also comes with a 31 page PDF document which contains scans of the CD inserts - front cover, rear, etc.
Depending on how you access the file (Mobile device, Itunes, Cloud Player) there are 25 chapters in this release:
Part I: Hornet's Nest
Chapter 01: Stuff of Nightmares
Chapter 02: Dead Shoes
Chapter 03: Circus of Doom
Chapter 04: String in the Tale
Chapter 05: Hive of Horror
Part II: Demon Quest
Chapter 06: Relics of Time
Chapter 07: Demon of Paris
Chapter 08: Shard of Ice
Chapter 09: Starfall
Chapter 10: Sepulchre
Part III: Serpent Crest
Chapter 11: Tsar Wars
Chapter 12: Broken Crown
Chapter 13: Aladdin Time
Chapter 14: Hexford Invasion
Chapter 15: Survivors in Space
Part IV-ish: Extras/Bonus Content (one hour)
Chapters 16-25: Extras, with Chapter 24 being a twenty-two minute interview with Tom Baker.
Description? It's Tom Baker returning to his role as The Fourth Doctor with over SIXTEEN HOURS of content. Does more need to even be said? It's like the classic series, only what the classic series SHOULD have been. It's entertaining, it's fun, and overall it's well worth the purchase. I've have had this for years, but the CDs are tired-and-worn (or missing). Can now get the whole thing again for just One Credit and never need to worry about scratching or misplacing the discs.
