Dave, Elizabeth, Thomas and the Secret Agents look at the Doctors' regenerations, how the Doctors faced their end and how we coped with the change

In this special “Irwin Allen” edition of The Doctor Who Book Club Podcast, we read and discuss Steve Lyons’ 1995 Virgin Missing Adventure Time of Your Life featuring the Sixth Doctor.  From the back cover:

‘Organic bugs must be purged from the system,’ the screen told him.  Then, more succinctly, ‘You die.’

The Network broadcasts entertainment to the planets of the Meson system: Death-hunt 3000, Prisoner: The Next Generation, Bloodsoak Bunny…  Sixteen channels, and not one of them worth watching.  But for the citizens of poverty-stricken Torrok, television offers the only escape from a reality too horrible to face.

Angela, a young inhabitant of Torrok, leaps at the chance to travel to the Network with a hermit who calls himself the Doctor.  However, all is not well on the giant, chaotic space station.  A soap star has murdered his wife’s lover; the robotic regulars of Timeriders are performing random kidnappings; and a lethal new game show is about to go on air.

Can the Doctor uncover the cause of the apparently random disturbances – or will his appearance as a competitor on Death-hunt 3000 be the last of his life?

We’re firm believers of “In Lyons We Trust” on this podcast, thus our sterling reviews of his books Conundrum and The Crooked World.  Will Time of Your Life be any different?  Grab a tasty glass of boiling water, sit back, and relax as we discuss it!

This week we cover story #258, Sleep No More! The Doctor and Clara find themselves aboard a space station where a scientist attempting to render sleep obsolete instead creates a new kind of monster!

In Doctor Squee & his Time-Dog Dottie Who welcome you to their new podcast by starting a run-down of the 9th Doctors episodes.

It's high time for another silly Verity! Extra! This week's topic is inspired by a "Mind Meld" in SF Signal. Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne as we discuss where we'd go if we had one trip in the TARDIS. Who wants to do something historical? Who wants something literary? Who wants the future? Or alien adventures? Perhaps most important of all, who is our very own Meddling Monk? (Spoiler: that one's Liz. Surprise.)

Where would you take the TARDIS if you had one trip? Let us know in the comments!

In which Doctor Squee & his Time-Dog Dottie Who welcome you to their new podcast by starting a run-down of the 9th Doctors episodes.

Through a series of events not easily explained The Seventh Doctor and Mel have found themselves in 1959 Wales. Luckily they have found a Holiday camp to stay at, unluckily they have to deal with alien princesses, mercenaries, bees, stalkerish mechanics and a bus full of alien tourists. But to make things more interesting, there is an almost companion in the mix... so they got that going from them, which is nice.

From Professor Rasmussen speaking to camera and the complete lack of opening titles to a barely present score and unusual "resolution" to the episode, "Sleep No More" broke all the rules of Doctor Who. Now I'm afraid it'll be harder to break them again.

The general idea of a scary movie/show/book/billboard is that the premise is so frightening it keeps you up at night. It's even right in the title of this week's Doctor Who snooze scare-fest: "Sleep No More." However, the actual moral of the episode is that you should sleep. Quite a lot, actually. To the point that sleep is really the oldest thing. The most important thing. Basically, it is the very thing that makes us human. As you may infer from my attempted sarcasm, this wasn't a favorite of ours. You might say at least one of us really didn't care for it at all. If you want to know who, you're just going to have to listen!

For this week's WhoTube, Matt found “Doctor Who: Next Stop Everywhere” by user VERITASERUMUK: http://youtu.be/62kn1fNuu28

Surprise! Here's a bonus full-length episode because we have too many emotions about Clara's upcoming departure. We go over a bunch of new Face the Raven reviews and teasers - too top secret to list here!

It's a live-in-person (though not live-in-front-of-a-studio-audience) episode of Verity! Join Deb and Erika as we sit in a hotel room at LI Who and talk about the con and what we liked (and didn't) about Mark Gatiss' latest story, "Sleep No More".

What did you think of this story? It seems to be a divisive one. Which side of the divide were you on? Let us know in the comments! (And remember to be civil.)

This episode we are reading X-Men issues 25 (Oct 1966) and 26 (Nov 1966) in which the X-Men tackle El Tigre. We finally start to see some more development in the Scott/Jean/Warren love triangle that has been causing tension in the team from day one but we'll have to wait until next time to find out how it all unfolds. Meanwhile, we talk about Captain America, The Raid II, and Agents of Shield. So much geekery!
