So is this an actual proper bona-fide audio drama or just Tom reading a story?

Not very clear from the press release, but looks like it'll maybe just be Tom & Nick.

The words "Read By" chill our bones. So not an actual audio drama, just another reading. Panic over!

Still, how they managed to get Tom to do it...

Without wishing to be cynical, I wonder if it was anyone else doing five episodes, they'd put them in a 2 or 3 disc set and charge £15 for it - but as it's Tom, they've dragged them out over five and asked fifty quid for it.

A similar thought had ocurred to me - dragging it out over five months...

DWM apparently says these are full cast audio plays all of which are written by Paul Magrs. Make of that what you will. I think it sounds rather more exciting than it did before, but others may well disagree!

I've got DWM and it does indeed say they are full-cast plays

So if they're a success, will Big Finish's licence not be renewed when the time comes? It's already happened with the books...

I was a bit more enthusiastic til I noticed who the writer was...

Apparently Nicholas Courtney was ill and so they replaced him at the last minute with Richard Franklin.
Sigh.

That has to go down as a sizeable disaster for the project really, doesn't it.

Surely Benton would have been a better choice - Yates wouldn't even recognise the fourth Doctor would he?

Possibly, but Richard Franklin doesn't live in California.

No. He doesn't.

Whereas John Levene does and so might be difficult to get for projects like these.

I take your point.

I'm very happy with this news! It'd be good to have a cameo from Tom in the new series (maybe a variation on "The Dark Dimension" aborted project), but this will do very nicely.
I must admit, just when I think I'm king, I just begin!

First cover!
How lovely and retro! (and will Doctor Who be talking to foxes? it looks like it!)

How come Tom gets to appear in his prime, and yet Franklin is old and grey?

Because it's set in the present day?
For every fail, there is an equal and opposite win.

Blurb:
Hornets' Nest #1: The Stuff of Nightmares
Featuring: Tom Baker as The 4th Doctor
Tom Baker reprises the role of the Fourth Doctor in the first of five thrilling brand new audio adventures, with Richard Franklin as Mike Yates.
‘Wanted: retired army Captain for light household duties and fireside companionship. Must tolerate mild eccentricity and strong scientific advice. Knowledge of Giant Maggots, Super Intelligent Spiders and Prehistoric Monsters a positive boon.’
Responding to an advert apparently worded for him alone, Captain Mike Yates (retired) is reunited with a ghost from the past. But why has the Doctor, that mysterious traveller in Time and Space, sent for his former UNIT acquaintance? Trapped by a horde of vicious creatures in an apparently innocuous English country cottage, the two old friends are on the brink of an enormous adventure.
As the Doctor relates his recent escapades, it becomes clear to Mike that they – and the Earth at large – are facing an enemy of unimaginable power and horrific intent. The nightmare is only just beginning...
With Tom Baker as the Doctor, Richard Franklin as Mike Yates, Susan Jameson as Mrs Wibbsey and Daniel Hill as Percy Noggins, The Stuff of Nightmares is the first of five linked stories written by the acclaimed Paul Magrs.
