‘We seem to be caught Trapped, somehow…’ Published for the first time on audio, Demon Records presents a narrated fullcast TV soundtrack, starring William Hartnell as the Doctor in one of his most weird and wonderful adventuresIn this vintage 6part adventure, first shown on BBC TV in February and March 1965, a strange magnetic force pulls the TARDIS down to the craterous surface of Vortis. The Doctor and his friends learn that the planet has been invaded, and the parasitic Animus is slowly enveloping it in a weblike domain. The giant antlike Zarbi are under its control, whilst the butterflylike Menoptra are battling to reclaim their planet.Presented across 3 x heavyweight 180g pieces of pink vinyl, this narrated TV soundtrack evokes a classic Doctor Who adventure in all its aural magnificence. The alien ambience of Vortis, the insistent chirruping of the Zarbi, and the supernatural voice of the Animus are all accompanied by the eerie sonics of Ron Grainer & Delia Derbyshire’s theme tune.Written by Bill Strutton, this was the Doctor’s most exotic and lavish adventure yet. Linking narration is provided by Maureen O’Brien Vicki and the cast includes William Russell as Ian, Jacqueline Hill as Barbara, Martin Jarvis as Hilio and Roslyn de Winter as Vrestin.Accompanying the pink vinyl LPs are full episode billings, cast and credits, and eight illustrated panels form a superb artwork montage.
