Episode 3 is our commentary to the classic Doctor Who story The Tomb of the Cybermen but broken into two parts. The first part which you can download now focuses on the production of the story but also the Troughton era in general. We take a look at why we think the Troughton era was so successful. We include trivia and our own opinions on what makes this story great! Feel free to play the first two episodes of this story along with this commentary.

The second part will be posted in a day or so which covers Episodes 3 & 4. The focus of our commentary for the second part is the rediscovery of this story, missing episodes, and telesnap reconstructions.

Enjoy!

In this week’s show we step away from the Doctor Who Universe for one last time, at least until next year. Our final ‘Beyond the Doctor’ features Sixth Doctor actor, Colin Baker in Star Trek Continues episode 4, White Iris. We’ll give our impressions on Colin’s performance as well as give a little insight into the Star Trek Continues series and some other Star Trek fan projects.

Also, the usual stuff, like news-of-the week, and convention updates.

And, of course, your feedback.

Mal Young was Head of BBC drama who commissioned the return of Doctor Who. He hired Russell T Davies & they together got Chris Eccleston to be the new Doctor. Without him, none of this happens. We talk to him about all of that & his work on Brookside, Casualty, Holby City, the Bill & so much more. He gives us a master class in working your way up from an extra to running the show in one of his first interviews about Doctor Who in 10 years.Find Mal Young on twitter @MalYoung

Another adventure for everyone's favourite Time Lord. Still chafing at his exile to the planet Earth, the Doctor (Jon Pertwee) is called in to observe the Inferno drilling experiment of Professor Stahlman (Olaf Pooley).
