Doctor Who: The Ark (TV Soundtrack)

'Everything aboard this spaceship is suddenly endangered!' The TARDIS materialises in a tropical forest, and the Doctor, Steven and Dodo are surprised to find that it’s situated inside a vast spaceship. This is the distant future, and the last survivors from Earth are on a 700 year voyage to the planet Refusis II. Accompanying them are their mute, one-eyed servants: the Monoids. When Dodo unwittingly spreads her cold amongst the Monoids it proves deadly to them, and the travellers are accused of sabotage. Then the TARDIS jumps forward in time to the Ark’s future, where the Doctor and his friends make a horrifying discovery. The balance of power has shifted, and humanity is now enslaved by the vengeful Monoid race, who plan to make Refusis II their own... In an additional bonus interview, Peter Purves, who also provides linking narration for the story, recalls the making of the original 1966 television serial.

Reviews

"Well-endowed with a shafting wit, Straight communicates and expresses the energy of an intelligent anarchist holding an anti-bullshit device. "

—— The Guardian

"George is a first-class gossip with a stirringly viperish tongue. Straight never fails to entertain or provide food for thought."

—— The Daily Telegraph

"The best book I've read in a long while. I read it twice in one sitting - it made me howl with laughter and burst into tears."

—— Paul O'Grady

"Such a fun read."

—— Sydney Star Observer

Highly readable ... fascinating ... A remarkable collection of strongly motivated egomaniacs and charlatans, all depicted in the boldest of colours

—— Marcus Berkman

A fascinating history of mirror illusions and the magicians who created them

—— Nicholas Blincoe , The Telegraph

Steinmeyer ... has a gift for translating stage performances to the page

—— Time Out

This is a really marvellous book, the most uninhibitedly intimate portrayal ever of the short, hard life and overall musical triumph of Lady Day...With Billie vividly reflects the chaos that Billie Holiday was born into and only rarely escaped from

—— Spectator
