For all of you Tom Baker as Dr. Who fans out there, might want to look into getting a copy of The Scratchman. Tom Baker is the author and narrator: https://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Who-Scratchman-audiobook/dp/B07L5WJQLW/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3OGGLAOJGQNWI&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.-zO4QvhcYGZhKbM-MOjNbXd6KCKqYwbumXDqCcYSojUsOnqY9fUnweQMGVHWQGEZE4Lvd69rbn55Jk3gh2H9JYd1TasaemV3dlRdch2JGMwgE3AwAo1UH5FAgnEHz5DKCtsYP61xF6uj6AkEFCYRPl6aVSlHcdDmQ1BIPtbsvk5821dMINV8v0LFP8MaHsOQ9k20bYFjq7VP39XJ2MCBTKxG4iit1qV6mPmmGvqlggA.rp-aYn2taH-BeM5g_q6uQzwJWc5O-b7CkZWA_3z2Fxw&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+scratchman&qid=1705786336&sprefix=the+scratchman%2Caps%2C118&sr=8-5

What makes the novel special is that it was originally conceived by Baker and Ian Marter who played the companion Harry Sullivan in the late 1970s. The two came up with the story but were unable to complete it before Marter’s untimely death at age 42. I’m not claiming The Scratchman is the greatest novel ever written but it was good to hear Tom Baker narrate the book.

If you listen to the last chapter (at 23:53) here Baker has an interesting P.S. to the book - as the The Doctor.

Thanks for the info!

I have a LOT of DOCTOR WHO books ( about the shows, the Doctors, the episodes, etc. ) but NONE of the stories nor this one.

Ugh! The link to The Scratchman’s somewhat 4th wall breaking P.S. didn’t show up in my post about it. Here it is: (23:53): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFCVI6ejF2A&list=PLSnEN_6D_uEVy8H7UHZm0P2BOrrkk6XSr&index=11
