About this listen

David Troughton reads this gripping classic novelisation of a Second Doctor TV adventure featuring the Yeti and the Great Intelligence

“Attention to detail is a hallmark of this always excellent range” Doctor Who Magazine

For 40 years Professor Travers’ Yeti has been quiet, a collector's item in a museum. Then, without warning, it awakes and savagely murders. Patches of mist begin to appear in Central London, those who linger in it found dead, their faces smothered in cobwebs.

When the Doctor, Jamie and Victoria arrive in the London Underground, they find that the web is remorselessly spreading. What’s more, hordes of Yeti are roaming the misty streets and cobwebbed tunnels, killing everyone in their path. London has been gripped tight in a web of fear.

The Doctor and his friends unite with the army, led by one Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart, in defence of planet Earth. But an old enemy is lurking in the shadows…

David Troughton, who has played several roles in the BBC TV series, reads this complete and unabridged novelisation, first published by Target Books in 1976. Duration: 4 hours approx.

A wonderful reading of a classic Dr Who by David Troughton. There are times in this book when you could almost swear that it is Patrick Ttoughton speaking, I can see his whimsical little figure as the Doctor chasing down the yetis and the accent and intonation of his voice also captures Jamie perfectly. One of my favorite stories masterfully read, I would recommend this book to any Doctor Who fan.

A tribute to his father

Terrance Dicks' novelisation of The Web of Fear is just as intense as it's tv counterpart. Here it is superbly brought to life by David Troughton, one character distinguishable to another thanks to his amazing ability to recreate accents. David does his father proud (2nd Doctor Patrick Troughton) reading one of Patrick's better tv adventures.

David Troughton for the win!!!
