Doc discovers a grave situation below the surface, Tegan is a defective android and Turlough exhibits some OTT PSTD. It’s great!

Welcome to the 16th episode of a short podcast we’re dropping on the feed every month in between our regular monthly shows.

In today’s podcast, Rob sits down with his podcast co-host Dave, to discuss the letters to Doctor Who Magazine 244, from October of 1996.

This is Doctor Who without a safety net. The conversations could go anywhere the guest wants them to go.

This is Primary Sources.

We're up to the 1975 Target Doctor Who novelization releases. Up first, the first novelization (of two) by Brian Hayles, featuring the first novelization (of four) to feature the Ice Warriors.

Stand by... for news. A lot happened in the Doctor Who universe this week. We learned the identity of the next five Target novelizations: three New Series adventures, and new takes on two Classic Series tales. We learned which Classic Series season is getting the Blu-ray treatment, via another canon-worthy Pete McTighe-scripted trailer, and with a tantalizing set of new Chris Chapman documentaries, Matthew Sweet interviews, and all the other usual Behind the Sofa-type goodness. And, lastly, happy birthday to Doctor Who's reigning elder statesman.

Once we get to the book, the first half of the episode is Jason and his trademark breakdown Brian Hayles' prose style and narrative choices.

In the last half of the episode, I'm delighted to be joined by Ross from Gallifrey's Most Wanted, who provides a different take on Hayles' prose style. We thoroughly explore the politics of this story, and what those politics look like today, both in the UK, where the Peladon adventures were written, and here in the States, where similar issues continue to drive the political narrative. This is a can't-miss conversation.

This week David & Matt sit down to discuss 'Orphan 55' as well as attempting to launch new features for the pod.

Rather than reading this episode description why not go out and do something to help ongoing environmental concerns, we need to do something about all the pollution that is killing our planet!

GET OUT THERE AND DO SOMETHING BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!

This week my new Who re-watch reviews resume with Doctor Who:The Runaway Bride a story I’ve not watched since it first aired, though mostly because it’s set at Christmas than for any view on the quality of the episode which is after many years still good fun.

Episode 97 – It's time again for our regular (and slightly delayed) 7th staff Christmas party (or as we are calling it our Summer Special!) where Mark is joined by Dave, Richard and Rob (via time eddy!) in a 2 hour plus extravaganza talking all things Doctor Who!

We digest and regurgitate over Flux, discuss what makes a good TV producer, especially in the context of our favourite program,  chat about our Top 3 Deaths in Doctor Who, Target Book Club where we revisit the novels of writers who only had one stab and then....our big one!  That's right, the much heralded Fanwank of the Year Awards © where we nominate our ‘highlights’ for 2021. Does Big Finish runaway with all the awards, or do we have bigger fish to fry?

So strap yourselves in as we chat and laugh our way through our topics.  Plus, who is the Laura Ashley of Doctor Who and more  importantly will Rob’s Time Eddy be able to smash through the Vortex without the power of Patreon funds!!??

Martyn challanges Chris and Sam, to guess the episode of Doctor Who flux he is talking about, based on negative one-star fan reviews. 

The podcast is available from all good podcast services, such as but not limited to Spotify, Amazon Music, Podchaser, Player FM, Stitcher, and Apple Podcasts.

We welcome Tim to this episode to join his Missing Episodes podcast co-host Paul, plus Gav, Giles and Richard.

After Tim and Paul encounter a real old timer out in deep fandom, we settle down to look at a couple of piratical stories: Season 6's The Space Pirates, featuring the 2nd Doctor and 10th Doctor story Curse of the Black Spot from Series 6.

This episode features the first half of our discussion and so is only about The Space Pirates. Look out for the second half, coming soon.

Richard's other podcast is called "If It's Hurting, It's not Working" and it's a fun and informative look at work - why we work, how we work, and what makes a great job. And also what makes a great workplace, how to turn things round when we're not enjoying our work and, in the end, how we can all make our work better. Go to https://ifhurtnotwork.podbean.com/ and https://ifhurtnot.work for more. Episode 5 is all about New Year and you can hear a trailer at the end of this episode.

The opening music is Three Guitars Mood 2 and, yes, that is Richard playing the ukulele and kazoo on possibly the worst ever version of the Doctor Who theme tune at the end.

The Daleks return in this quintessential 1st Doctor story. Earth is in a bad place and it's up to Team Tardis to save the day. Barbara runs over some Daleks and the Doctor helps Susan follow her heart... also Ian is there.

Welcome to the double digits for the Doctor Who Literature podcast (excluding bonus episodes), and it's the last Target novelization of 1974, Terrance Dicks' third book, and the first novelization of a Patrick Troughton/2nd Doctor adventure.

The Abominable Snowmen has been in the news this week, or, at least, on the rumor mill, with stories that the forthcoming animation of the TV serial, co-funded by BBC America, will be the last such project... at least, co-funded by BBC America.

In the first half of the episode, we break down Terrance's book, and talk about how he works his magic in print, elevating or often improving on the visuals we saw on TV.

In the second half, we're joined by prolific Doctor Who novelist Jonathan Blum, who reveals a soft spot for Terrance Dicks. We discuss how Terrance actually adapted, rather than merely transcribed, the TV serial, and what objectionable bits he removed along the way. We take a tough look at the TV production, and examine why we enjoyed the book regardless.

Musical cues taken from the 1961 rendition of "Blue Moon" by The Marcels.

Review - Blink

Scott flies solo and gives us his rambling opinion (that's how he describes it!) on the classic Doctor Who episode Blink. While this is a firm fan favourite that introduced the world to the Weeping Angels, Scott isn't so sure about the lack of the Doctor and the scared "DVD man". So is Scott flying in the face of fan wisdom? Listen to find out!
