In theory the TARDIS should be able to change its appearance to blend in unobtrusively wherever it happens to materialize. In practice, however, because of a fault in the chameleon circuit, it always looks like a police boxa minor inconvenience the Doctor hopes to correct.Fixing the mechanism involves a visit to Earth and a trip to the planet Logopolisnormally a quiet little place that keeps itself to itself. But on this occasion the meddling presence of the Doctors archenemy, the Master, ensures the disruption of normality. And even the Master is horrified by the threat of total chaos he unintentionally precipitatesuntil he finds a way to turn the imminent destruction of the universe to his own advantage

"... the moment has been prepared for."

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 November 2012

Note this is a review of the novelisation by Christopher H Bidmead.

This is the final story of Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor. I remember watching this on tv years ago, and finding the story somewhat confusing. The novel, while clarifying some aspects, still remains a little unclear in some places. I think the confusing elements arise from the different manner in which the Doctor responds to the rather stressful situation he finds himself and his companions in; while it becomes clear that he `senses' his time is about to change, it is still handled somewhat clumsily. The dunking of the Tardis in the Thames is really just not good at all - really didn't gel at all. Having said that, it was good to have the novel written by the writer of the original story.

This is always going to be an iconic story because it is the last story of the Fourth Doctor. Nyssa is re-introduced, and the reader is introduced to Tegan as another companion. The concept of Logopolis is well thought out, and the Master showing up to carry out one of his many complicated schemes is always welcome.

A bit of a mixed bag; good in places, not so good in others. But always a story that will hold a special place in the Doctor Who world.

Fantastic story, slightly flat reading.

Logopolis has always been one of my favourite Dr. Who stories. It's got everything - the Master at his panto villain best, the introduction of a new companion, plenty of suspense, saving the entire Universe from the Master, and a regeneration. The Doctor is dark and sombre in this story, having seen the foreshadowings of his own demise. If only this had been the story where Adric had been blown to bits it would have been sheer bliss... It's also great to have these classic episodes coming out in new formats and, hopefully, catching the eye of newer fans who think Dr. Who began with Christopher Ecclestone. The only thing letting this down is the rather flat reading style; I may have been spoiled by my previous, extensive collection of audiobooks, but this reading lacks depth or animation. It's still cracking though, one of the best stories ever, classic or new series, and I totally recommend it as an enjoyable listen.

Logopolis Review

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 March 2010

After a very slow and somewhat tedious first disc, this story comes to life for the final three hours duration. Mr Bidmead, whilst not being the world's most dynamic reader, gives some nice characterisation to the TARDIS crew, and provides the Master with a suitably slick and menacing persona.

The story itself is based closely on the original episodes although the budget of the books story telling would be much higher with its images of a crumbling city towards the end of the tale.

All in all a rather pleasant listen - if you manage to get past the first rather slow disc.

Well done, if a little bit too long and complicated...

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

This is a four-CD audio version of the novelization of the fourth-Doctor TV episode ` Logopolis'. Given how many filters it's passed through to get to this point, it's quite a good adaption, too!

The set is packaged in a fairly chunky CD case, carrying four CD's and a small booklet. The CD's are about an hour long each, and each contain three chapters - though each chapter is spread over multiple tracks. The booklet provides a listing of which chapters are on which CD and which tracks cover a given chapter, and also some quick notes on the novelisation of Logopolis, and the author. These are interesting enough, but there was certainly room in the booklet for more.

Bidmead, the original author of the TV episode, as well as the novelisation, also serves as the reader here. He's obviously quite familiar with his own work, and rattles it off quite nicely. He's pleasant enough to listen to, and manages to alternate between characters and accents without any real problems. The only real complaint is that with a story as complex as this, switching characters all the time, it can become difficult for the listener to differentiate them all - but Bidmead does a good job trying to differentiate them. His version of the Master is particularly menacing.
The sound effects here are, as one might expect, quite superb - the BBC has provided some excellent background music to raise the suspense level, and the reading itself is clear as crystal.

The story itself is, at least to begin with, a little slow (though this was something of a fault of the TV version as well) - and would probably be quite difficult to follow if the listener was a) new to Dr. Who, or possibly even b) hadn't seen the TV version. I don't think this is insurmountable - the plot isn't impenetrable by any means - but Bidmead has given the listener a long, complicated story with many, many characters, twists and turns, and a few minutes inattention (if, say, listening at work) can completely confuse. Still, the tale is faithful to the TV episode, with a few extra moments which would probably have been too costly to film, and the final denouement is very well done, even without visual trickery being available.

This was a good, if complex Who serial when made for television, and the same applies here - good, but complicated, a little slow to start, and, at four hours, quite long. Still, it is extremely enjoyable, and, with the above caveats in mind, well recommended (if perhaps not to the casual listener).
