ONE OF the great crimes of the 90s, with regards from Doctor Who (aside from a lack of a TV series for the Eighth Doctor) was the fact that the show never got an annual that year.

Something of a British tradition, each Christmas, children are given a hardbacked book, containing comics and stories with their favourite characters from TV, film, toys, etc, as well as puzzles and games.

But now, 27 years after it should have been published, The Doctor Who Annual 1997 has arrived, from Terraqueous Distribution.

With Becca on maternity leave, Kenny's joined by his Power of 3 co-conspirator David Steel, and chat with editor Mark, as well as one of its many writers, Rob Nisbet.

This month our guest is writer, publisher, and man of many hats, Dr. Arnold T. Blumberg!  Arnold joins us to discuss the birth of his Doctor Who fandom, many different aspects of literary fandom, and exactly where the ideas originate for most of the books published through ATB Publishing.

Then Arnold takes us into strange new worlds as he brings his Pick of the Month, the Paramount Plus blockbuster hit series, Star Trek: Picard!   We discuss why we all think Season 3 is some of the greatest Star Trek ever written, our shared love of Patrick Stewart, and why Terry Matalas is the current saviour of the known universe.

And be warned!  There are MASSIVE spoilers for Picard (Season 3 in particular), so go watch those 10 episodes first!  That's right, burn up that 7 day trial that you've been waiting to use and binge it.  It's totally worth it!

Our last episode has arrived at last! It’s here, my goddess, it’s here. Our foretold review of the Doctor Who film: THE DALEKS INVASION OF EARTH 2150 AD! Join us live on YouTube on June 4th at 2PM ET. See you there!

Joe and Toni discuss the weird space that ninja turtles frequently occupy, the blame chain, and a famously deserted New York in the jaw dropping Baxter Stockman episode of 2003's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Insane in the Membrane.

On May 13, 2023, our Dave travelled up to Sydney to attend the Sophie Aldred fan event, run by our fellow Antipodean podcasters, The Sirens of Audio.

In addition to being there to support the return of small, fan-run events in this country, Dave was also tasked by the hosts to conduct an on-stage interview with Doctor Who author, Jon Blum. This was originally to be a joint interview with Jon and his wife, the celebrated Doctor Who author, Kate Orman, however Kate was unable to attend on the day.

This podcast is a half-hour discussion between Rob and Dave about the day in general, followed by about half an hour of audio from the Job Blum chat. As we mention on the podcast, the audio of the Blum interview isn't up to our usual podcast standards, but we're sure you'd rather hear a version of the chat than nothing at all, so we include it here.

Enjoy!

For a story like Four to Doomsday, what else could we do but give you three terrific interviews, with two guests?

Up first is Jason Davis (@TheJasonDavis), writer and editor extraordinaire, of TheJasonDavis.com, This interview was recorded live at Gallifrey One in Los Angeles in February 2023, and you already heard the first half of that interview in my Harlan Ellison special. This is the rest of that conversation.

Then I was joined on short notice by Matt West (@WingedPodcast) of Q the Winged Podcast and Miwk Publishing (on which Matt gives me a pronunciation lesson).

Followed by a return visit from Jason Davis.

Between the three of us and the three interviews, he hit just about every corner of science fiction from television to the printed page.

You can find some more of Matt's work on the original Pyramids of Mars DVD.

And Jason (this podcast's Jason) was most recently on Trap One to discuss the Season 9 Blu-ray Collection.

Doctor Who Literature is now a member of the Direction Point Doctor Who podcast network.

We threw a vote out there on Twitter for which season would like us to discuss on the next episode, from a list of four options. The results were:

Season 26 (McCoy) 34.1%
Season 8 (Pertwee) 33.3%
Season 19 (Davison) 19.7%
Series 7a (Smith) 12.9%

So here we are, tonight, to discuss Season 26, comprising:

Battlefield
Ghost Light
The Curse of Fenric
Survival

Before then, of course, we also talk some recent Doctor Who news, including the ongoing death of Doctor Who on physical media in Australia, and the book the Frazer Hines has always had in him!

This week, Nathan, Brendan, Simon and Colin are trapped in a room with only forty-five minutes to decide whether Kill the Moon is terrible or a towering work of genius. It goes quite well, surprisingly.

Notes and links

Brendan suggests that Kill the Moon addresses the Guns versus Frocks, um, disagreement, which reached its peak during the heyday of the Virgin New Adventures. Nathan wrote an essay about his take on the debate many, many years ago.

El Sandifer’s essay on TARDIS Eruditorum contains, as you might expect, a clever reading of this episode, and both Brendan and Nathan find reasons to refer to it here.

Colin and Brendan mention science fiction shows called The Expanse and Babylon 5, but I absolutely refuse to do any research into them at all.

Nathan is on Twitter as @nathanbottomley, Brendan is @brandybongos, Simon is @simonmoore72, and Colin is @colin_neal. The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam. You can follow the podcast on Twitter at @FTEpodcast.

And more

We’ve got an exciting new Doctor Who project to launch at the start of 2024, but — annoyingly — we’re not going to tell you anything more about it yet. Stay tuned.

In the meantime, you can find Jodie into Terror, our flashcast on the entirety of the Whittaker Era of Doctor Who, at jodieintoterror.com, at @JodieIntoTerror on Twitter, on Apple Podcasts, and wherever podcasts can be found. We’ll be back with a new flashcast on the second Russell T Davies era in November.

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’s entire run. Recording is continuing on schedule, and our coverage of Series C should be ready for you later in the year.

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 were bored rigid as the crew of the Enterprise completely dismantled a horrible authoritarian human colony in The Masterpiece Society. Back to Deep Space Nine next week.

Our guest is emerging Big Finish writer Max Kashevsky. He talks about his Short Trips stories "Still Life" and "Salvage", and his forthcoming Eleventh Doctor story "All's Fair". He also gives some advice for aspiring Doctor Who writers.

WHO doesn't like a good, in-depth interview? After all, that's what Pieces of Eighth is all about!

This week, we take a look at Reeltime Pictures' release of The Doctors: Paul McGann Years, which features a chat with the Eighth Doctor actor, co-stars Daphne Ashbrook, Yee Jee Tso and Eric Roberts, as well as executive producer Philip Segal, and TV Movie director Geoffrey Sax.

We chat with Reeltime's Keith Barnfather, who tells us about the origins of the range in the 1980s, and how it's become a vital repository for people wanting to know all about the classic series era, in the words of those who made the show.

The Doctor and K9 have a Time Lady forced upon them and are sent on a quest for some lumps of perspex.

They find the first on a parky planet but, before they can get their hands on it, they have to contend with a couple of conmen, a whack job warlord, a rubbery reptile and a mad old dear with antlers.

This episode can also be found at iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible and all other podcatchers (as far as we know).

The Universe's least favourite motorised dustbins are back and this time they've come to papa.

They're hoping devious daddy, Davros, will cure their lurgy but Ol' One Eye, with the questionable help of Dirty Den, has other plans. It's up to the Doctor and co to bat off Bob Ferris and save the day. But not everyone will make it back to the TARDIS...

This episode can also be found at iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible and all other podcatchers (as far as we know).

The Doctor and Leela's day trip turns into a nightmare when they wind up at a wave-lashed Edwardian lighthouse.

Throw in a selfish toff, an hysterical harridan and a homicidal Brussels sprout and you have the perfect recipe for a sleepless night.

This episode can also be found at iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible and all other podcatchers (as far as we know).

In a future world where men (almost) wear their y-fronts outside their jump suits, T-Mat is the mode of travel du jour.

But when a troop of myopic Martians mince into a moon base, it's time for the Earthmen to polish their rockets and get ready for a foam party that'll put Ibiza to shame.

This episode can also be found at iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible and all other podcatchers (as far as we know).

We're back with another batch of legacy episodes from the dusty depths of the Krynoid PodCast archive.

This time it's all change as Sylvester McCoy with a wig regenerates into Sylvester McCoy without a wig.

The Rani cosplays as Mel Bush while the Doctor plays the spoons (and the fool) and the whole thing can only be described as batfood crazy.

This episode can also be found at iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible and all other podcatchers (as far as we know).

SHOW NOTES

(00:03:23) Here’s Hannah Waddingham being sublime at the Eurovision Song Contest final and explaining our segueing into la Francais.

(00:04:25) “Ted Lasso” is an American sports comedy drama television series following an American college football coach who is hired to coach an English soccer team with the secret intention that his inexperience will lead it to failure, but whose folksy, optimistic leadership proves unexpectedly successful.

(00:05:54) The trailer for the Doctor Who 60th anniversary specials can be seen here.

(00:10:20) Catherine Tate reads out the UK jury results on the Eurovision Song Contest final.

(00:19:20) “Stop getting Bond wrong” comes from “I’m Alan Partridge”.

(00:23:47) “Brit Sci-Fi” will be a celebration of iconic science fiction films, TV programmes, books, comics, games and art.

(00:26:16) Hayden’s 2 year old son, William, sees Colin Baker’s 7th Doctor in Mr Tumble.

(00:32:45) On May 8 2006, BBC News 24 wanted to interview technology journalist Guy Kewney about the Apple Corps v Apple Computer legal dispute. By mistake, they interviewed Guy Goma, a Congolese-French business studies graduate from the Republic of the Congo, who came to the BBC for a job interview as a data cleanser. The incident became one of the most known bloopers at the BBC.

(00:32:57) Hayden was interviewed by the BBC for his thoughts on Matt Smith’s departure from the BBC.

(00:36:48) “Tom’s Refurbishments” can be found here.

It is one of the more fallow news weeks in recent memory as we have merely one Big Finish and a few novels to speak of, BUT that doesn’t stop the Three Who Rule from chewing up all of time and space with both the Timelash and and AND the return of Fluid Links!

As much as I love Season 18 and its novelizations... the Season 19 premiere, "Castrovalva", and its novelization, are right up there. Especially the novelization, says my guest this week, Graeme Burk (@graemeburk) from Reality Bomb. We both read out favorite passages from the book -- and then quickly get off on several wide-ranging tangents, before coming back to the greatness of "Castrovalva".

Simon Guerrier (@0tralala) recently tweeted out the first page of David Whitaker's unfinished novelization of "The Enemy of the World".

This week, Pete Lambert and Hannah Cooper join us for a particularly embarrassing Coal Hill School parents’ evening, which goes horribly wrong when a Mechanoid is found roaming the premises. It’s The Caretaker.

Notes and links

Pete has a dim memory of something similar happening during his childhood, but mere months before Series 8 aired, the Troops to Teachers programme was introduced, giving veterans the change to fast-track their teacher training so that they could work in schools. The Guardian reports on the scheme here.

Vasquez Rocks is a park not far from Hollywood, and was famously used in the original Star Trek episode Arena (the one with the lizard man in a skimpy cocktail dress). A particular famous rock formation, nicknamed Kirk’s rock is recreated in the opening shot of this episode.

Nathan alludes to the fact that Barbara is absent from Episodes 4 and 5 of The Sensorites because Jacqueline Hill was on holiday, and that she returns from her time on the Sensorite spaceship with a spectacular tan in Episode 6.

In the Press Gang episode UnXpected, Mmoloki Chrystie’s character Frazer Davis encounters the fictional Colonel X, who was the main character in a cheesy spy-fi show he watched as a child. Michael Jayston is magnificent as Colonel X. (You might be able to find it on YouTube if you look hard enough. It’s worth the effort.)

And more

We’ve got an exciting new Doctor Who project to launch at the start of 2024, but — annoyingly — we’re not going to tell you anything more about it yet. Stay tuned.

In the meantime, you can find Jodie into Terror, our flashcast on the entirety of the Whittaker Era of Doctor Who, at jodieintoterror.com, at @JodieIntoTerror on Twitter, on Apple Podcasts, and wherever podcasts can be found. We’ll be back with a new flashcast on the second Russell T Davies era in November.

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’s entire run. Recording is continuing on schedule, and our coverage of Series C should be ready for you later in the year.

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 a barely competent episode of the Original Series called Wolf in the Fold. Back to Deep Space Nine next week.
