As if the last few months of 2023 couldn\u2019t get more exciting for Doctor Who<\/a> fans, we now have a brand new audiobook to look forward to \u2013 and it features one of the show\u2019s longest-running companions.<\/p>\n

Being released by BBC Audio, Doctor Who: The Evil of the Daleks<\/a> will be released later this month, as we continue to gear up for the anticipated new season and 60th anniversary episodes.<\/p>\n

The classic Doctor Who tale gets an inventive retelling in this new audio adventure that is narrated by none other than Frazer Hines.<\/p>\n

Hines, of course, starred in the sci-fi series between 1966 and 1969, as well as guest appearances in the \u201980s, as the Doctor\u2019s companion Jamie McCrimmon.<\/p>\n

Well, Jamie is back in the Whoniverse once more, and in the tale, he will be joined by the Doctor and young astrophysicist Zoe as they have to relive one of Jamie\u2019s most harrowing adventures with the Daleks.<\/p>

In an exclusive clip to RadioTimes.com<\/a>, which can be listened to above, fans can get a taste of the adventure for themselves, and can hear how the Doctor is struggling to make sense of the Daleks\u2019 logic.<\/p>\n

As well as the story being read by Hines, he is joined in this clip by Nicholas Briggs, the regular voice of the Daleks.<\/p>\n

As the Doctor grows increasingly frustrated at its commands, the Dalek then starts to ask him about Jamie, saying \u201che is the human being who is to be tested\u201d, which leads the Doctor to get nervous.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will reveal nothing to your companion. Obey the Daleks, you are in our power,\u201d the Dalek states.<\/p>

Talk about chilling stuff, right? Well, the Daleks are only set to get more calculating and powerful as the tale goes on.<\/p>\n

According to the synopsis: \u201cIn a complex plot that drags him from modern-day London to Victorian times and finally to the Dalek world of Skaro, he endures ordeals that test his courage, strength and his friendship with the Doctor to the limit.\u201d<\/p>\n

The audiobook is just one of a slew of exciting titles that are being released to celebrate the iconic show\u2019s 60th anniversary.<\/p>\n

Throughout each month this year, an audio adventure has been released, taking us on a journey from the first Doctor right through to the Thirteenth.<\/p>\n
