As her grave suspicions about her new neighbour grow, she is in danger of becoming ostracised from village life. Trapped underground, the Doctor and Mrs Wibbsey encounter a small boy who claims to be Aladdin, in search of a fabled lamp. He joins them on their own quest, to find a power source in this weird domain and switch it off. Many obstacles lie in their way. Vast rooms stuffed with exotic items give way to torch-lit tunnels and deadly precipices. Creatures of mythical proportions lie in wait. In a distant galaxy, the Tsar and Tsarina rule over the Robotov Empire from the safety of their palace, whilst human workers tend the power plants on satellite moons. When the Doctor arrives with Mrs Wibbsey, his identity is immediately mistaken, and the Tsarina believes that her old ally, Father Gregory, has returned. The year isand the Doctor and Mrs Wibbsey find themselves in the right place at the wrong time. At the rectory they encounter the ill-tempered Reverend Dobbs and his young ward Andrew, whose Doctor Who: Serpent Crest 5: Survivors in Space faces hide whatever horrors Doctor Who: Serpent Crest 5: Survivors in Space beneath. Tutoring him is one Mr Bewley, whom Mrs Wibbsey is startled to recognise. In Hexford Woods, the Doctor uncovers a secret which Andrew and his friends have been keeping.

But with morale low and supplies running out, it is increasingly difficult to keep his own hopes up. Unless Doctor Who: Serpent Crest 5: Survivors in Space finds them soon, the future looks bleak. But with two Doctors apparently at large, there is still the small matter of what was buried under Nest Cottage - not to mention who is clamouring to break through the protective force field.

The finale to the 5-story arc that is 'Serpent Crest' comes as something of a letdown. While the inter-Doctor banter between the Fourth Doctor and the faux Second Doctor is entertaining and while the entire saga comes to an end with the return of a now-grown Alex who has taken the reigns of his star-crossed empire and brought peace between the humans and robots though it's not explicitly stated 'how'it all comes about abruptly with no satisfaction. Captain Yates spends the majority of this The finale to the 5- story arc that is 'Serpent Crest' comes as something of a letdown. Captain Yates spends the majority of this story, as he has the previous, in a befuddled state, lurching from outright belief in the Second Doctor to playing catch-up with the Fourth Doctor. He isn't given very much to work with on the script level save for a few possibly flirtatious moments with the otherwise annoying villager who, for some reason, ramps up her accent to a ridiculous degree when she had been voiced quite differently all along. Mrs Whibbsy's previously maternal affection for Alex led absolutely nowhere; when he does arrive, decades later by his reckoning, he barely spares her a sentence first or last. There was opportunity missed here to have their reunion played more for drama and emotion; as events swirled around them, it was a disappointingly rushed scene. The Second Doctor, now exposed as a fraud and a cheat, is rather let off the hook by everyone involved, and the Fourth Doctor demonstrates an unusual trust in him to safeguard the village on it's return from space back to Earth given the Second Doctor's machinations against the villagers and alignment with the evil alien menace all along that placed the villagers 'in' the situation to begin with. It felt that the writer was determined to invoke a positive feeling and to conclude the story for the audience on a happy note by sacrificing all the character development he had built up with certain characters. This resulted in her uttering a terrible line of dialog that is swallowed up by the sudden boom of Doctor Who: Serpent Crest 5: Survivors in Space 'Doctor Who' Doctor Who: Serpent Crest 5: Survivors in Space TV credits from the Tom Baker era, hardly a grand finale moment. Overall, the entire saga presents little new. Audio Go were not quite able to coax great performances from Baker, Doctor Who: Serpent Crest 5: Survivors in Space scripts were workman-like but nothing special, the series did not have enough 'meat' to sustain it's duration over 5 individual stories, and deprived of 'classic' companions, the character of Mrs Whibbsey is far too much of a homemaker and fuss-pot to work with the Fourth Doctor; she seems oblivious to Doctor Who: Serpent Crest 5: Survivors in Space of the events as they occur. It does feel as if the entire series was written 'after' Audio Go secured Baker and then had to produce material quickly for him, a rushed feeling that permeates all stories but especially this one. Like a microwave dinner, it is fast and will get the job done but Whovians need more sustenance and more nourishment in their 'Doctor Who' than this provides. Feb 06, Jennifer rated it it was ok Shelves: audiobooksfictionlibrary-loan. I enjoyed a good deal of the concluding part of the Serpent Crest series quite big on serpents this one but a few things dragged it Doctor Who: Serpent Crest 5: Survivors in Space a bit. Firstly, Mike Franklin is no Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart and it's just not a well-enough written character given the role he has to play here. Tish Madoc is a big part which has been set up to have a bigger role as the husky voiced siren recently arrived writer from Wales but it never materialises, so she is merely an annoyance. Individual elements of I enjoyed a good deal of the concluding part of the Serpent Crest series quite big on serpents this one but a few things dragged it down a bit.
