Doctor Who and the Invasion from Space was a World Distributor story published in a single volume in 1966. It has often been referred to as the first Missing Adventure, and sees the First Doctor accompanied unwillingly on his travels in TARDIS by the Mortimers, a peasant family from the time of the Great Fire of London.

When I suggested to Jonathan Redwood that it might be fun to record him in character as the First Doctor reading this story, I had originally envisaged it as a bonus feature for another disc. Little did I realise just how long it would take to read aloud or what a fine performance he would deliver, and it quickly became apparent that what I had was something much more special than a bonus to be tucked away under another title.

I quickly expanded my ideas for presenting the story from having the narration accompanied by the illustrations from the original book to having the narration accompanied by CGI images with a few animated inserts to help bring the whole thing to life as a sort of moving picture book.

I hope I have done Jonathan’s brilliant vocal performance justice and that you enjoy this most unusual release.
