This is my third Sontaran adventure and second with the fantastic Dan Starkey, who, for me and many others, is the definitive Sontaran voice; it's a great thrill to hear his voice in the studio through the headphones and always brings a huge grin to my face - which isn't always appropriate of course. I think it comes from a sense that with Dan on board in full Sontaran mode, we're onto a winner and that's always a good feeling.
And so, without further preamble, this is what Big Finish have said about The King of Sontar:
They're back! The Sontarans
return for the first release in our third series of full cast audiobook
adventures starring Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor - and here's the
cover!
Dowcra base. The third Elite Sontaran Assassination Squad closes in on its target. A dozen trained killers, but even they will be unable to bring down the invincible Strang…
Manipulated by the Time Lords, the TARDIS also arrives on Dowcra. And the Doctor is set to encounter the greatest Sontaran ever cloned...
Doctor Who: The King of Sontar leads the third series of Fourth Doctor Adventures, starring Tom Baker as the Doctor (on screen 1974-1981) and Louise Jameson as Leela, his TV companion back in 1977 and 1978.
The pair are joined by a cracking cast for the story, including Sapphire & Steel alumnus David Collings, David Seddon, Jenny Funnell, legendary Big Finish stalwart John Banks and, of course, the wonderful Dan Starkey, TV and audio Sontaran extraordinaire, as the regal Strang.

I mentioned above that there were 'excitements to come' and indeed there are! As well as everything else going on at the moment, I'm also currently recording a fascinating Dr Who story with a truly brilliant cast and had a wonderful day in the studio yesterday working with a couple of genuine Dr Who legends. Recording concludes on Monday when I'll be working with yet another legendary actor and star of classic tv Dr Who - such a privilege!
But even that isn't main source of my excitement. Unfortunately, I'm not able to reveal more at the moment although I hope you'll believe me when I say there are some amazing things to come - "such stuff as dreams are made on"...
However, for the moment...
" Our revels now are ended.
These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air:"
Are melted into air, into thin air:"
I must also now melt away and get back to learning lines!
