Doctor Who: Touched By An Angel

By: Jonathan Morris

Narrated by: Clare Corbett

‘The past is like a foreign country. Nice to visit, but you really wouldn’t want to live there.’

In 2003, Rebecca Whitaker died in a road accident. Her husband Mark is still grieving. He receives a battered envelope, posted eight years ago, containing a set of instructions with a simple message: ‘You can save her.’ As Mark is given the chance to save Rebecca, it’s up to the Doctor, Amy and Rory to save the whole world. Because this time the Weeping Angels are using history itself as a weapon.

Touched by an Angel features the Doctor, Amy and Rory, as played by Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill in the spectacular hit series from BBC Television. A complete and unabridged reading by Clare Corbett.

One Of The Best Doctor Who Books I have Heard/Read

Where does Doctor Who: Touched by an Angel rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is the best to date. Usually a book based on a TV show is a watered down story that doesn't affect the shows continuum and steers clear of the big villains. This would have made an excellent episode of the series. It personally had an impact on me because I listened to this book, around the time of the Weeping Angels offed Rory and Amy from the show.

Have you listened to any of Clare Corbett’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

If I may quote the Doctor, She was brilliant. This was my first Clare Corbett performance, but not my last. Many because I have two more Doctor Who audios with her as the narrator.

An interesting expansion on the Angels

Think of it more as an extra episode than any kind of bug expansion on the characters or three universe. It was an entertaining, short, "read".

an Angels with new tricks

Best new monster because you find them everywhere. including on video. if you can't get enough of angels this is one of the stories you should enjoy All the while wondering if time can be rewritten.

Time travel at it's finest.

One of the best Doctor Who books I've read so far, full of paradoxes and ramifications ( nice word, ramifications...), not to mention the blinovitch limitation effect. Great emotional story too. If you had a chance to go back in time to change things, would you do It? But what could happen? If you're a fan of Doctor Who or like time travel stories, this book is for you.

Who doesn't like angels?

Story was an excellent reminder of the importance to show love while we have time.
