Doctor Who - The Audio Scripts Volume Two
The Eye of the Scorpion
Big Finish Publishing, 2004
Since 1999, Big Finish Productions have produced regular, fully-licensed ongoing audio adventures for the Doctor and his companions on CD. Each four-part story stars members of the original Doctor Who cast in brand-new adventures through time and space.
Presented in this book are the original scripts for four of Big Finish's most popular stories plus an essay by actress India Fisher, who plays Charley Pollard.
Representing the Fifth Doctor adventures, starring Peter Davison, comes The Eye of the Scorpion, written by Iain McLaughlin and featuring the first appearance of new TARDIS traveller Erimem.
Colin Baker featured as the Sixth Doctor in The One Doctor', the award-winning romp by Gareth Roberts and Clayton Hickman.
From the Seventh Doctor run, with Sylvester McCoy, is Dust Breeding by Mike Tucker, featuring the return of an old and deadly enemy...
Rounding this collection off is Seasons of Fear, one of the most significant of the Eighth Doctor audio adventures featuring Paul McGann and penned by Paul Cornell and Caroline Symcox.
This collection also features a number of early storylines and other features!
The book features not only the full script of The Eye of the Scorpion but it also contains the earliest version of it when it was called The Eye of the Beetle and Erimem was the real historical Pharaoh Hatchepsut. I also wrote a lengthy piece for this book on the writing of the story.
