Leviathan is a story originally commissioned for Season 22 for which there's no official explanation for why it wasn't made. However, the reason is obvious: the BBC could not afford to make it properly. As Nicola Bryant said in the extras, it would have taken a year's budget to do it. Instead, the script was adapted by Paul Finch (the son of the script's original writer Brian Finch) and the result is a marvelous and very cinematic audio drama.The Doctor and Peri appear to land in Medieval England where a village is sending teenagers out to die at the hands of the monster known as Herne, who history indicates was little more than a myth. The Doctor is led to investigate and he and Peri encounter a group of young rebels.
The twists that the story takes from there show the imagination and excitement that is central so many great Doctor Who stories. The action is exciting and thrilling with great monsters and superb battles, as well as an absolutely stunning soundscape that really helps your mind grasp the massive scale of the story. The concepts are thrilling and incredibly clever including the ideas behind the Sentinels of the New Dawn and the Leviathan itself.
The story also has some great moments for our leads. Peri has one of her finest stories and has a great scene where she rallies the rebels. The Doctor show's some interesting character moments from his initial reluctance to become involved to a brilliant sword fight to a climatic battle with the villains, and a final philosophical and melancholy moment in the TARDIS at the end.
Overall, this is one of the must-listen to Lost Stories and ranks right up there with the best work Colin Baker did on TV as the Doctor.

Leviathan Doctor Who The Lost Stories 103 Brian Finch Paul Finch 9781844354467 Books Reviews
This is an excellent radio drama. I've listened to a few other of the "Lost Stories", and they are clearly part of the Classic Doctor Who series. What I mean by that is that the stories are pretty simple, with the antagonist/bad guy established early on, and the companion is not as essential to the plot. However, this episode has a couple very interesting twists, and the bad guys aren't revealed until the second half of the drama. Also, the companion Peri has a lot to do here, which is satisfying. It really could fit in with any of the new Doctor Who series. The reason for all this is that it was originally written by a "ringer". The original version was written by Brian Finch, an award winning TV screenwriter, on commission by the BBC. It was the only Doctor Who script he wrote, and he was apparently a big fan of the show. It is like when Neil Gaiman wrote "The Doctor's Wife". Well, Mr. Finch's expertise shows here. The Doctor and Peri have several very pithy remarks, and the episode deals with a few "Big Ideas" that made it quite entertaining for me.
The Doctor and Peri arrive in a medieval...ish...forest, and immediately come across the god Herne, hunting a human. Investigating further, they find an entire society where children grow only until a certain age, at which point they either journey voluntarily to the castle, or are hunted to a brutal death by the deer god. In typical Doctor Who fashion, further investigation reveals a more scientific, and far less benign source of the phenomena, and the Doctor must find a way to rescue an entire society.
Very reminiscent of stories from the Ninth Doctor (premo-niscent?). A good choice for newer DW fans.
