John Levene’s Benton Returns in Time’s Champion Audiobook!

Philip Bates is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

We’re pleased to announce that John Levene, largely from the Third Doctor era, will be reprising his role as Sergeant Benton for an audio adaptation of the unofficial charity novel, Time’s Champion.

Originally published in 2008 as a charity venture in aid of British Heart Foundation, the book was written by Chris McKeon but based on notes by Craig Hinton (Synthespians™) before his death. This audio adaptation features exclusive revisions by the original author and is presented as a full cast audio book.

Levene first appeared as Benton in The Invasion (1968), but actually debuted as a Cyberman in the previous year’s The Moonbase before playing a Yeti in The Web of Fear. His last regular appearance in the show was 1975’s The Android Invasion. He’s become quite a favourite at conventions too!

The audio book is being produced by James Walker at Season 26B Productions.

And you can listen to the prologue to Time’s Champion already!
