About this listen
An original novel by A.L. Kennedy featuring the Fourth Doctor, as played by Tom Baker in the BBC TV series.
Something distinctly odd is going on in Arbroath. It could be to do with golfers being dragged down into the bunkers at the Fetch Brothers' Golf Spa Hotel, never to be seen again.
It might be related to the strange twin grandchildren of the equally strange Mrs Fetch – owner of the hotel and fascinated with octopuses. It could be the fact that people in the surrounding area suddenly know what others are thinking, without anyone saying a word. Whatever it is, the Doctor is most at home when faced with the distinctly odd. With the help of Fetch Brothers' Junior Receptionist Bryony, he'll get to the bottom of things. Just so long as he does so in time to save Bryony from quite literally losing her mind, and the entire world from destruction.
Because something huge, ancient and alien lies hidden beneath the ground – and it's starting to wake up....

If you could sum up Doctor Who: The Drosten's Curse in three words, what would they be?
Funny, engrossing, sillyWhat was one of the most memorable moments of Doctor Who: The Drosten's Curse?
The whole book evokes memories of the Douglas Adams eraHave you listened to any of Clare Corbett’s other performances? How does this one compare?
NaWas this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
UnstoppableAny additional comments?
Being wrongly advertised as a 12th doctor story is only mildly annoying in this fun romp. Douglas Adams would surely enjoy this volume as is fondly tries to pay homage to one of doctor whos funniest authrs. Its a slapstick comedy that does little to raise ghe dramatic stakes but despite this, its a very enjoyable listen. Top marks.More for laughs than drama

Somewhat marred by weird music, which intruded on the narrator.
Worth a try if you have patience.
More fantasy than science fiction

Briony dying in a fireWhat will your next listen be?
Something not by A.L.KennedyWhat does Clare Corbett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Her excellent voice makes the awful experience less painfulYou didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Not reallyAny additional comments?
4th Doctor reduced to a side character in favor of a Mary-Sue companion. Moffat might love it but i sure didnt!Classic Who done in the Style of Moffat :(
