Synopsis

In 1500BC, King Actaeus and his subjects live in mortal fear of the awesome gods who have come to visit their kingdom in ancient Greece. The Doctor, visiting with university student June, knows they're not gods at all. They're aliens! With June's enthusiastic help, the Doctor soon meets the travel agents behind this deadly package holiday company - his old enemies the Slitheen. But can he bring the Slitheen excursion to an end without endangering more lives? And how are events in ancient Greece linked to a modern-day alien plot to destroy what's left of the Parthenon? Read by Debbie Chazen, who played Foon Van Hoff in the TV episode Voyage of the Damned, The Slitheen Excursion features the Tenth Doctor as played by David Tennant in the hit BBC TV show.

June's time in the city of Athens was winding down. Soon she would be returning to England so one more time around the Acropolis seemed like a good idea. The ruins themselves were thousands of years old and, for the most part, tended to stay pretty much the way they were from one day to the next so......more
