Tremendous news - David Fisher to write a new novelisation of The Stones of Blood for audio release, to be read by Susan Engel (Vivien Fay in the TSusan Engel, who played Vivien Fay in the story, and also features John Leeson who provides the voice of K9 story) and also featuring John Leeson (K9). The original Terrance Dicks novelisation is workmanlike but not terribly memorable; however Fisher's two previous novelisations of his own stories - The Creature from the Pit and The Leisure Hive - are particularly good, among the best Fourth Doctor books and certainly better than the TV originals.

But since nobody reads newspapers any more anyway, this advice may be of limited application."
