Rezension(9): "〈a href=http://www.audiofilemagazine.com target=_blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/audiofile_logo.jpg alt=AudioFile Magazine border=0 /〉〈/a〉:First broadcast in 1968, this eight-part serial follows the Doctor and his companions as they work to defeat an invasion by the Cybermen. The Invasion is among the more sought-after story lines, and this soundtrack recording of the entire serial is all that remains of episodes #1 and #4. Narrative explanations to the television soundtrack are provided by Frazer Hines, who played Jamie in the original program. Hines also provides some insightful remembrances in an interview at the end of the program. Following the action of a 1960s television serial using sound only can be confusing, even with Hines's explanations, due to inadequate sound quality of the original material and the nature of the action sequences. But Doctor Who devotees will, nonetheless, enjoy this unique recording. S.E.S.

Exterminate! For this observer, the full-skirted, clunky Daleks are even more laughable than bandy-legged, toy-Tokyo-trampling Godzilla. But to the gazillion fanatics of BBC-TV's stubbornly enduring Doctor Who series, they are the dreaded, ruthless, (snicker) cunning aliens intent on cosmic mayhem. This audio skillfully joins excerpts from the episodes with narration by the current Dalek voice, Nick Briggs, to form a history of their numerous (losing) skirmishes with the Doctor. The seamless, quick-paced interweaving of well-chosen elements contributes an excitement and spectacle that the individual episodes themselves did not always possess. The skillful compilers have thus produced a nostalgic, swashbuckling tribute and first-rate sci-fi audio drama. Y.R. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine"
