Publisher's summary Edit

The Wishing Beast (A Three-Part Story)

What can it mean when the Doctor and Mel are drawn to an asteroid by a message from the strange, elderly Applewhite sisters? The travellers are promised that they will receive their dearest wishes when they enter the frozen forests of this benighted shard of a world. But the ghosts that haunt this place are desperate to warn the Doctor about the sisters' promises. Only the ghosts know the true nature of the legendary Wishing Beast.

Notes Edit

This CD includes two stories. Rather than the two-disc-four-episode format, there are two stories: The Wishing Beast (three parts) and The Vanity Box (one part), which is also a prequel and sequel to The Wishing Beast.
An illustrated preview was published in DWM 384 by Martin Geraghty.
Jean Marsh (Maria) previously played Princess Joanna in TV: The Crusade, Sara Kingdom in TV: The Daleks' Master Plan and Morgaine in TV: Battlefield. She would later reprise her role as Sara in AUDIO: Home Truths, AUDIO: The Drowned World, AUDIO: The Guardian of the Solar System, AUDIO: The Destroyers, AUDIO: The Five Companions and AUDIO: The Anachronauts.
Geraldine Newman (Eliza) would later play Lady Sybil in AUDIO: The Doomwood Curse.
This audio drama was recorded on 14 and 17 May 2007 at The Moat Studios.

Continuity Edit

The Doctor and Mel would later encounter a younger version of the Wishing Beast in Salford in 1965. (AUDIO: The Vanity Box)
