Doctor Who: Hunters of Earth by Nigel Robinson

Doctor Who: Hunters of Earth is the first part of an 11 part series for the 50th anniversary and while the end ties into that fact it can be listened to outside of that if you so choose.

Written by Nigel Robinson and performed by Carole Ann Ford and Tam Williams. Sound Design by Simon Hunt. And directed by John Ainsworth.

The first Doctor is in all his grumpy charm here, taking place a few months before the pilot takes place. The Doctor is great but the real star here is his companion and Granddaughter Susan performed again by Carole Ann Ford who is a delight to listen to.

I don't think this is a good place to start for the first Doctor or Doctor Who in general, not that I think it's trying to be that, I think it's best to acknowledge going in though that this is a celebration of 50 years of Doctor Who. Knowing that makes this very enjoyable. I know this cranky old Doctor and Susan. It sets the stage for those first adventures of Doctor Who while also setting up what would be Susan's departure.

A good start, one I enjoyed very much as they played with these old characters. I look forward to where it is going and have started the next audio adventure.
