The Shadow of Weng-Chiang
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 21 minutes and 38 secondsIn 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.

Synopsis - The Shadow of Weng-Chiang
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 15 minutes and 18 secondsOur 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!

Primary Sources Christmas Special 2022
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 26 minutes and 54 secondsWhen PRIMARY SOURCES ended, earlier in 2022, a promise was made that it would come back 'from time to time' as a series of specials. Today, Rob makes good on that promise, with the PRIMARY SOURCES CHRISTMAS SPECIAL 2022.
Featuring input from Anthony Carroll (squared), Chris March, Richard Smith, Terry Hayward, Jeremy Bonwick, and Neilers C, a team of Doctor Who fans weigh in on a letter to Doctor Who Magazine #238 from May, 1996 on the topic of...
SEX!
Yes, hanky panky, coitus, relations, lovemaking... whatever you want to call it. Does it ruin Doctor Who? Fans certainly thought so with the TV movie hurtling at them back in 1996. Have our attitudes changed, or is it still a bit... icky?
Wishing you all the compliments of the season, and we'll be back in the new year to do it all again.

Doctor Who stories that deserve a second chance
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 27 minutes and 20 secondsIn every era of Doctor Who there are stories which, for whatever reason, aren't as well remembered as others. They're the ones you skip over when you're browsing your DVDs, wondering what you should slip on. Maybe it's because of other, "better" episodes in the same season. Maybe it's received fan wisdom putting you off. Maybe you had a genuinely bad experience with the story in the past.
Tonight, however, we turn our mind to stories that are underrated and which you might not be too keen on choosing for your viewing pleasure... yet you should. We blaze through all 13 Doctors, presenting 26 choices for your perusal.
Before then, of course, we also talk some recent Doctor Who news, including details of how long Ncuti Gatwa's first series will be, Christmas specials for years to come, and the sad passing of legendary series writer, Chris Boucher.

Call Out: Ever want to be on Primary Sources?
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 4 minutes and 44 secondsWhen our final episode of Primary Sources went out on September 18 this year, Rob talked about the idea of some special episodes at a future date.
Well folks, the time has arrived.
In this short podcast, Rob will explain his concept and read you a letter from DWM #238 from the 8th of May, 1996. Your mission is to reply to it.
Pick up your recording device of choice and riff back to Rob about the letter he read. Try to be concise (maybe jot down your main points before you record), and try not to go beyond 4-5 minutes, maximum. Most importantly, have fun with it!
Get your submissions in by December 3 - that's a week from now - to be sure of making it onto the episode, which will go out on our feed later in December.
Looking forward to wherever the letter takes you...!

Interview - Doctor Who Am I
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 19 minutes and 28 secondsDoctor Who Am I is described by IMDb as a documentary where, "an infamous Doctor Who screenwriter is reluctantly dragged back into the American Whoniverse, in this funny and moving documentary about finding family in the unlikeliest of places." It launched in the UK in late October and will be available on home media in some territories later this very month.
But did you know that, on the podcast which gave birth to the Doctor Who Show - Who Wars - we actually interviewed that screenwriter (Matthew Jacobs)? And that he spoke at length about the Doctor Who Am I project?
Yes, on August 9, 2015 we ran a 40m interview with Matthew, touching on Doctor Who Am I, The Emperor's New Groove, The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, Star Wars, and more. All conducted by Kate - @kamiduu.
What we have made here is an edit of that interview, basically cutting more than 50% out (so if you want to hear him talk Disney, Young Indy, George Lucas, etc, you will need to seek out the original episode), and we're left with a very Doctor Who and Doctor Who Am I oriented chat.
Seven years have gone by since this interview was conducted, but we think you'll find the chat relevant and a great preamble to seeing the doco!

Actors who have played the Doctor in other roles
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 18 minutes and 55 secondsWhat a week! It started with us doing a hot take episode on the final Jodie Whittaker story, The Power of the Doctor, and we thought this episode following it would be a bit fluffy and frothy and very relaxed.
Nek minnit... we get the news that Disney+ has secured the worldwide rights to screen Doctor Who outside of the UK, starting in 2023. International fandom blew up, particularly here in Australia. Dave was called to appear on a couple of mainstream radio shows to talk about it. We play one at the end of the ep!
So while this episode is about actors who have played the Doctor in other roles, we also have a lot of discussion on both the trailer for the three upcoming specials, and the Disney+ deal. Three listener emails round out the episode.

Death Comes to Time
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 17 minutes and 24 secondsOur LUNGBARROW episode (back in September 2021), was very popular with our listeners as it took a story many fans were interested in, but had never read, and gave them a deep dive into the storyline along with our thoughts.
We replicate that today by looking at the 2002 audio, DEATH COMES TO TIME. A total non-canon novelty - that was even a bit weird to make at the time - we go through the plot in massive detail and, of course, give our opinions.
This feature comes after 20 minutes, or so, of news and short topics to kick proceedings off. You know the drill by now, Dear Listener. Fill your boots.

TARDIS Teams Go To The Movies
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 59 minutes and 7 secondsWe promised our March episode would be a light and frothy romp, as we placed TARDIS teams into movies. This one's a riff on our Crossovers episode from back in 2021, putting TARDIS teams into TV shows. This time around, however, it's the silver screen that beckons. Where will our darlings end up? Tune in.
Of course this is after 25 minutes, or so, of news and short topics to kick proceedings off. You know the drill by now, Dear Listener. Fill your boots.
