Doctor Who: The Pirate Planet: 4th Doctor Novelisation by Douglas Adams
5.0
Jon Culshaw does a flawless Tom Baker impression in Dead Ringers. It's still on full-form in the audiobook adaptation of The Pirate Planet, first written for television by Douglas Adams then novelized by James Goss.
The book itself is worth it. While it differs significantly from the televised serial, the result derives from Douglas's old notes and drafts Goss had access to while writing this book. I would say this is the closest thing to an author's preferred text that we will get and it's just that good. Culshaw's impersonations make it even better.
