The Ghosts of N-Space is a radio audio drama based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It was recorded in 1994 and finally broadcast in six parts on BBC Radio 2 from January 20 to February 24, 1996. This was the second Third Doctor radio play, following The Paradise of Death in 1993.
It was written by Barry Letts, and featured Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor, Nicholas Courtney as Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart and Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith. Broadcast a few months before his death, this was Pertwee's final performance as the Doctor.
Barry Letts' novelisation of the script was released as part of the Virgin Missing Adventures range of spin-off novels in 1995 (the first BBC novelisation to not be published under the Target Books range, which had been retired the previous year). The recording was originally released on cassette in 1996, re-released on a three CD set in 2000.
