Synopsis

As a new day breaks over Nest Cottage, the Doctor and Mike know they have to face their enemy for a final confrontation. Reduced to miniature size, and with Mrs Wibbsey along as an unwilling adventurer, they venture inside the hornets’ nest itself. The Queen lies in wait for the enemy which she and her brood have faced so many times over the millennia. If she is to guarantee the survival of her alien hornet race for another thousand years, this is a battle she must win! The loyalty of the Doctor’s friends will be tested to the limit. And perhaps, at last, they will all understand why Mike Yates is so important... With Tom Baker as the Doctor, Richard Franklin as Mike Yates, Susan Jameson as Mrs Wibbsey and Rula Lenska as the Queen, ‘Hive of Horror’ is the fifth of five linked stories written by the acclaimed Paul Magrs. '... Baker delivers the drama and intensity that you recognise from the Fourth Doctor of old' - Doctor Who Magazine.

Conclusion to the Hornet's Nest series. The Doctor, Mike Yates and Mrs. Wibbsey shrink themselves and enter the hornet's hive in the screwed up paper labyrinth within the brain cavity of a taxidermied zebra. Yup this is a weird one all right. The Doctor is described as a cross between Sherlock Holme......more

Goodreads review by Gabriel on February 03, 2017

The final chapter! Doctor Who: Hornets' Nest, Part 5 -Hive of Horror was an entertaining listen. Tom Baker, whom I find to be an excellent narrator, plays the Doctor once again in this audio drama. The Doctor and a few others miniaturize themselves in this episode and enter the dead, stuffed body of......more

Goodreads review by Wendy on November 14, 2010

Well, this was more like it. The plot moved forward, Mike Yates actually had something to do, the humorous bits were funny and the dramatic bits dramatic. It's still not the spectacular success that you might hope the pairing of Tom Baker and Paul Magrs might produce, but at least it brought this st......more


Quotes

... an exciting adventure, compelling and nicely delivered Chichester Observer

... a rip-roaring conclusion to the overall arc, with a gripping confrontation between the Doctor and his nemesis the Hornet Queen (Rula Lenska) that more than satisfactorily wraps up the storyline Ely Standard

a fulfilling and rewarding culmination to this extraordinary series of linked adventures... Hive of Horror – and, indeed, the Hornets’ Nest series as a whole – really stands out as being something a little different; something unique. http://www.doctorwhoreviews.co.uk
