Serpent Crest to be released on vinyl

“You are now both prisoners of the Robotov Empire!”


Demon Records presents the third and final series of Nest Cottage audio adventures starring Tom Baker as the Doctor, published for the very first time on limited edition vinyl.

Every copy of this release also includes an exclusive, frameable portrait of the Fourth Doctor, hand signed by Tom Baker himself.
Limited to just 1200 copies, and presented across 10 x 140g alternating Black and Green vinyl LPs, this full-cast audio adventure by Paul Magrs co-stars Susan Jameson as Mrs Wibbsey and Richard Franklin as Mike Yates.

The supporting cast includes David Troughton, Michael Jayston, Simon Shepherd, Terrence Hardiman, Joanna David, Sophie Ward, Andrew Sachs and Nerys Hughes, and original sound design accompanies the familiar Doctor Who theme from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

Kidnapped and transported to a distant galaxy, the Doctor and Mrs Wibbsey become entangled in a war between humans and the deadly, snake-like Skishtari. Now in possession of a spellbinding Skishtari egg, the duo’s travels take them to 19th Century Hexford and a netherworld of treasure and genies. In a thrilling climax to the saga, as a familiar stranger turns up at Nest Cottage, the ruthless Skishtari come slithering to Earth in search of their gene bank…


A die-cut, removable outer sleeve reveals a Skishtari-infested box lid, inside which are 10 individual, beautifully illustrated LP sleeves featuring cast and credits for each of the five stories. A 16-page full-colour booklet features the Doctor’s unique notes and illustrations, made during the course of these five serpent-infested adventures.

The vinyl collection is available to pre-order here.
