Doctor Who fandom is aflutter this week with the release of a glorious new trailer announcing the casting of none other than Matt Berry as the new Doctor Who! Of course this was all a cunning April Fool’s jape by none other than Who animator Rob Ritchie, but if you enjoy profane nonsense we highly recommend it. The REAL trailer this week for “Legend of the Sea Devils” also charmed us with its soggy swashbuckling (of seatbelts), and of course we have the usual Big Finish blast of new announcements, Peter Davison convention shenanigans, and the third episode of our Classic Series Commentary for “Planet of Evil”! Enjoy, or be banished to a pit full of anti-matter!

This episode Scott picks another Doctor Who story to watch and this time he selected Logopolis for your delectation!

As Phil sits down with him to watch episodes 1 and 2 this week, he gets confused and fails to explain properly what is going on with the Tardis entering itself (ooer!), whilst Scott enjoys Tegan being gobby and is amazed at the shine on Adrics nose!

Logopolis - Audio Commentary Part 1

This episode Scott picks another Doctor Who story to watch and this time he selected Logopolis for your delectation!

This week Jason is joined by Lewis Baston, author of a forthcoming Obverse Books' Black Archive book on the Doctor Who serial "The Sun Makers", to talk about Malcolm Hulke's February 1976 novelization of "Invasion of the Dinosaurs"... but, fear not, we get plenty of talk in about "The Sun Makers", too.

Later on, Jason breaks down all the ways, plot-wise and dialogue-wise, and tone-wise, how the novelization differs so greatly from the TV serial.

Along the way, we also discuss Von Daniken, play a game of 20 Questions, and give a look at the new trailer for Doctor Who: "Legend of the Sea Devils".

WE'RE BACK - and it's about time we featured another comic featuring the Eighth Doctor.

This week, we feature Titan Comics' Empire of the Wolf, in a chat with editor Jake Devine, and writer Jody Houser - recorded by Kenny in person at Gallifrey in February this year. It's the first of several interviews from Stateside, for this run of episodes.

Our episode on April 30, 2023 features the Virgin Missing Adventure, The Shadow of Weng-Chiang, as its main topic.

In the past when we've done novels, we've included a blow-by-blow summary of the novel, so our listeners are across the story. The theory being that far less listeners have read all the Virgin or BBC novels, and may need the information.

This practice has been appreciated, but has also blown out episode run-times. Given that not every listener even needs the summary, we put our heads together to come up with a way to provide a summary but not blow out the episode.

And here it is... a standalone summary of The Shadow of Weng-Chiang. If you've never read the novel before, or you have but feel like a refresher is in order, this 15m podcast will tell you what happens in the novel, from start to finish. Have at it.

See you on Sunday with our Shadow of Weng-Chiang episode, where you'll hear our actual thoughts on the story in question!
