Paul Magrs – Doctor Who – Hornets’ Nest (2009 BBC Audiobooks Ltd UK)

Tom Baker reprises the role of the Fourth Doctor in five thrilling exclusive audio adventures, with Richard Franklin as Mike Yates.

1. The Stuff of Nightmares

Captain Mike Yates (retired) responds to an advert in a paper that seems to be specifically directed at him. This leads him to a small cottage in Sussex and a meeting with his old UNIT colleague, the Doctor, who looks exactly as he did over three decades ago. Once there, the Doctor tells Yates about his recent fight against a swarm of psychic alien Hornets. His first encounter with them involved their possession of an army of taxidermy animals.

2. The Dead Shoes

The Doctor explains that he tracked the Hornets back to 1932, to a pair of ballet slippers in a shop called Cromer’s Palace of Curios. The owner, Mrs Wibbsey, shrinks the Doctor and traps him inside a possessed dollhouse.

3. The Circus of Doom

The Doctor traces the Hornets further back in time. In 1832, a decadent circus run by a bitter dwarf entrances the simple citizens of Blandford.

4. A Sting in the Tale

The Doctor finally finds the earliest infestation of the Hornets in the year 1039. A nunnery in Northumbria is besieged by wild dogs. The Hornets, new to Earth, encounter the Doctor for the first time (from their perspective) and fight to find their lost queen. This leads to a chase through the corridors and strange forgotten rooms of the TARDIS.

5. Hive of Horror

Yates and the Doctor make their final confrontation with the queen of the hive, inside the paper skull of a stuffed zebra.
