Doctor Who: The Ultimate Evil

Nicola Bryant reads this novelisation of a 'lost' TV story featuring the Sixth Doctor and Peri.

With the TARDIS working perfectly for a change, the Doctor and Peri find themselves at something of a loose end.

A holiday in Tranquela, a peace-loving country where there has been no war for over fifty years, seems the ideal solution.

Unfortunately their visit coincides with that of an unscrupulous arms dealer, the Machiavellian Dwarf Mordant...

Nicola Bryant, who played Peri in the BBC TV series, reads Wally K Daly's novelisation of his 1985 teleplay which went unproduced following the series' infamous 18-month 'hiatus'.
