There can be only one....guest this month, and it's legendary Doctor Who podcaster, Dave AC Cooper!  Dave stops by to discuss his Doctor Who fandom which stretches all the way back to the very first episode in 1963 - one day after his birthday!  Dave talks about watching some of the stories that are now lost, another of his shows called Big & Fruity Wine Podcast, and what wine would pair the best with his favorite Doctor Who story.

Then Dave brings us his Pick of the Month, the very popular 90s sci-fi action-drama, Highlander!  We talk about how we each discovered the show, the tons of merchandise, the uncanny similarities to Doctor Who, and if a new reboot would work.

Thanks for listening!

In this episode, Rob & Dave discuss the Virgin Missing Adventure novel, The Shadow of Weng-Chiang, as voted for by... you!

162 votes were cast and Shadow of Weng-Chiang took 35.2% of the vote, just pipping Scales of Injustice on 29.6%, with Sands of Time close behind on 25.9% and Lords of the Storm on 9.3% bringing up the rear. So here we are to discuss it.

Before they get to talking about the novel, the guys also talk about the past month in Doctor Who news, including Season 9 of Classic Doctor Who on Blu-ray still not produced locally in Australia - and perhaps never will be.

What is The Sun Makers on TV? A simple satire on 1970s' British taxation? A subversive takedown of capitalism? Colonialism? All of these things? Lewis Baston (@LewisBaston5) has written the book on this story -- literally -- and is back this week to discuss with us.

Please purchase Lewis' Black Archive volume on Sun Makers here.

Last week, one memorably cranky reviewer on Apple Podcasts described my guests as "ghastly woke zombies". You bet we are! And even more of that this week. Jim Sangster (@Monster_Maker) has gone ahead and designed the Ghastly Woke Zombie T-shirt.

And friend of the podcast Brian Burkart has given us the K-9 Roomba.

"Doctor Who and the Sunmakers" features cover art by Andrew Skilleter.

This week, Nathan, Richard, Todd and Adrian Phoon leave the peasants of Worksop to their mud-eating and get together to ask themselves the questions Is the Doctor as big a hero as Robin Hood? and Is Robin Hood even real?, only to come up with some very surprising answers. It’s Robot of Sherwood.

Notes and links

There have been any number of film versions of Robin Hood, which is part of the point, but Richard is mostly reminded of the 1938 film The Adventures of Robin Hood, starring Errol Flynn as Robin, directed by Michael Curtiz, with an Oscar-winning score by Erich Wolfgang Korngold.

Errol Flynn didn’t go to Scots College in Sydney, Nathan: it was Sydney Church of England Grammar School, commonly known as Shore. He claimed to have been expelled from Shore for having sex with one of the ladies who worked in the laundry.

Star Trek: The Next Generation did its fantasy Robin Hood episode in its triumphant fourth season. It guest starred John DeLancie as Q and was called Qpid.

Here is an article in The Guardian from 2014, reporting the cuts made to this episode because of the beheading of two American journalists by members of Islamic State.

We spend some time talking about Ben Miller’s career. He’s one half of Armstrong and Miller, of course, as well as doing two series of Death in Paradise. Paul Cornell’s Primeval episode which featured Miller hunting a dinosaur was called Traitor Revealed.

When this was shot, Tom Riley was also playing a young Leonardo Da Vinci in Da Vinci’s Demons. He was also in St Trinian’s 2: The Legend of Fritton’s Gold (2009) with David Tennant and Jodie Whittaker.

Our James Bond commentary podcast is called Bondfinger, and you can find that at bondfinger.com, at @bondfingercast on Twitter, on Apple Podcasts, and everywhere else as well.

We can also be heard on the Blakes 7 podcast Maximum Power, which has completed its coverage of the first half of the show. Plans are already well underway for our coverage of Series C later in the year, probably.

There’s also our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. In our most recent episode, we watched another episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds — this time, the delightful fantasy romp The Elysian Kingdom. There are new episodes out every Friday.

And finally, Brendan and his friend Bjay have joined forces to play and review videogames on The Bjay BJ Game Show. Take a listen: it’s funny, well-informed and completely enjoyable.

We chat about the recent live fan events featuring Janet Fielding and speculate on what the future may bring for Doctor Who focussed live events in Australia.

We also preview Sophie Aldred live in Sydney on 13th May 2023.

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!

Dan and Eric cheat death once again as they suffer the slings and arrows of the classic Doctor Who story Moonbase. Come on by and say hello as this duo extend their farewell tour.

Ahead of the launch of our sixth season, we're delighted to bring you some rare material, with these trailers for Invaders From Mars, as originally broadcast on Radio 7 in 2005.

Here's four short teasers, to get listeners hooked - aren't they great?

One of Jason's favorite Doctor Who TV episodes and novelizations is the subject of this week's episode.

Joining me is long-time Doctor Who author Jonathan Blum, back for his third appearance.

Kate Orman was on the schedule but unable to join us this week, but please purchase and listen to her incredible new Big Finish audio novel, The Dead Star.

John Fraser, who was the principal guest star in Logopolis, wrote a terrific autobiography several years ago which you can still find -- even if, sadly, the book doesn't describe his three weeks on Doctor Who.

Jason's most recent guest spot on the Doctor Who Target Book Club Podcast can be found here.

Asylum of the Daleks; Adam, Mary, Ben and Kirby turn their noses up at the prospect of soufflé. We also have feedback and news.

In our 17th outing for this irregular mini-podcast on our feed, we’ve been watching the 1998 six-part TV series Ultraviolet (so you don’t have to), and we give our thoughts on it.

Drop us a line anytime - hello@theDWshow.net

Ultraviolet is a 1998 British television series written and directed by Joe Ahearne and starring Jack Davenport, Susannah Harker, Idris Elba, and Philip Quast. The music was composed and performed by Sue Hewitt.

The programme was produced by World Productions for Channel 4.

This week, we’re joined by Adam Richard, shrunk to a microscopic size, and sent on a mission consiting mostly of ruthless moral self-examination. Meanwhile, somewhere else completely, a romcom is taking place. It’s Into the Dalek.

Notes and links

Some of us are old enough to remember the constant television repeats of Fantastic Voyage (1966), in which a small submarine and its crew are shrunk to microscopic size to remove a blood clot from the brain of a scientist who is defecting to the West. The glamorous catsuited assistant to the crew’s chief scientist is played by a young Raquel Welch.

Richard identifies as the chief influences on this episode Fantastic Voyage and Rob Shearman’s Doctor Who episode Dalek. (Which we discuss on Episode 137, To Mainsplain Aliens.)

Of course, Peter Capaldi was most well known for his role in Armando Ianucci’s political comedy series The Thick of It, in which he played Malcolm Tucker, the Prime Minister’s sweary and frankly terrifying political enforcer. Ianucci will go on to create Veep, in which Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays the hapless Vice President of the United States, and Avenue 5, starring Hugh Laurie as the captain of a luxury space cruiser which goes catastrophically off course.

Moffat’s first sitcom Joking Apart has been mentioned before on the podcast. Its main character also discovers how terrible he is as a person during the course of the first series.

Class was a short-lived and ill-fated Doctor Who spinoff, written by Patrick Ness and set at Coal Hill Academy. Peter Capaldi appears as the Doctor in Episode 1, and the season itself is broadcast between Series 9 and Series 10 of Doctor Who. It is cancelled after the first eight-episode run.

Trinity Wells, the American newsreader during the first RTD era, does have her very own Big Finish story: Driving Miss Wells by James Goss, which is part of the second Lives of Captain Jack box set, released in 2019.

We can also be heard on the Blakes 7 podcast Maximum Power, which has completed its coverage of the first half of the show. Plans are already well underway for our coverage of Series C later in the year, probably.

And finally, there’s our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. We’ll be back with a new episode this coming Friday, but while you’re waiting for that, you can still catch our most recent episode, in which Joe and Nathan got together in person for the first time ever to watch the notorious Star Trek: The Next Generation episode Justice.

In this episode, Martyn sits down with the hilarious and talented comedian Alasdair Beckett-King. Known for his clever wordplay and surreal humour, Alasdair has been making audiences laugh for years with his stand-up shows, online sketches, and appearances on TV and radio.

During our conversation, Alasdair takes us behind the scenes of his creative process, sharing insights into how he comes up with his offbeat jokes and sketches. We also delve into his background, from his childhood in rural England to his early forays into comedy and his eventual rise to fame.

Along the way, we touch on some of Alasdair's most memorable performances and collaborations, including his award-winning shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Whether you're a longtime fan of Alasdair's work or simply looking for a good laugh, this episode is not to be missed. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the wit and wisdom of one of the funniest comedians around.
