'''''Doctor Who and the Pescatons''''' was the first original, officially licensed audio drama based upon ''Doctor Who''. Originally released by [[Argo Records]], the story featured [[Tom Baker]] and [[Elisabeth Sladen]], as the [[Fourth Doctor]] and [[Sarah Jane Smith]]. It was divided into two episodes, complete with opening and closing themes, simulating the televised series. | '''''Doctor Who and the Pescatons''''' was the first original, officially licensed audio drama based upon ''Doctor Who''.

Discounting a couple of radio appearances and an LP version of ''[[Genesis of the Daleks]]'' with added narration, ''The Pescatons'' was the last time that Baker participated in an original ''Doctor Who'' audio drama until the ''[[Hornets' Nest]]'' arc in 2009. | Discounting a couple of radio appearances and an LP version of ''[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|Genesis of the Daleks]]'' with added narration, ''The Pescatons'' was the last time that Baker participated in an original ''Doctor Who'' audio drama until the ''[[Hornets' Nest]]'' arc in 2009. | ||
The story was unusual because of its first-person perspective. Though first-person narratives weren't entirely without precedent — the earlier ''[[Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks (novelisation)|Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks]]'' had been written from [[Ian Chesterton]]'s point of view — this was the first time that a story had been told from [[the Doctor]]'s perspective, similar to [[Big Finish Productions]]' ''[[The Companion Chronicles|Companion Chronicles]]'' series. Until 2010's ''[[Dead Air (audio story)|Dead Air]]'', it remained the only original story narrated by the Doctor himself. | The story was unusual because of its first-person perspective.
