    546: Island of Death

    19/07/2026 | 40 mins.
    Barry Letts - a name that is rightly revered in Doctor Who circles for his work in producing the majority of the Third Doctor's era on television, as well as casting Tom Baker as the Doctor.
    Today, we take a look at a novel which was written by Letts in 2005, just as the TV show returned to our screens with Christopher Eccleston.
    Island of Death features the Third Doctor, Sarah, the Brigadier and Jeremy Fitzoliver, as he expands Season 11, having started with The Paradise of Death and The Ghosts of N-Space.
    We feature a plethora of reading talent, bringing this novel to life, 21 years after publication.
