Doctor Who Collectors Podcast
Description:
A podcast dedicated to collecting all things Doctor Who. All things Dr. Who from books to pinball machines. This podcast will talk about everything Dr. Who that was in merchandising.
Well, the best kept secret in the USA has been revealed! Well not really. “Red, White, and Who” has written about it and even interviewed the owner. So why didn’t anyone know about these books when they came out? We may never know. I didn’t know about them when I ran a Dr. Who Store. Here is what I know, and maybe, someone out there knows more… These 5 rare USA Dr. Who hardcovers are legitimate releases with license agreements and everything! Very hard to find outside the USA.

Since my early start in Dr. Who watching Jon Pertwee as my hero, I got the chance to meet him in the early 80’s. When he passed in 1996 I never thought someone would come along and bring his essence back to the role. Well, Tim Treloar is doing that for Big Finish! Tim plays the 3rd Doctor brilliantly! Listen to the interview to find out which famous Doctor referred him for the role! I also have My Time and the most outrageous offer!

The Peter Cushing Dr. Who movies have been a popular part of Dr. Who. With many books and toys marketed to promote those films, collectors have swarmed to buy them up. Now, there is a new book going behind the making of these wonderful films. “Dr. Who and The Daleks: The Official Book of the Film” by John Walsh went to reprint in one hour after release. Today, I talk with John Walsh about this wonderful new book!

It is rare to speak with a veteran Dr. Who companion. Mr. Peter Purves appeared in 46 episodes of Dr. Who with William Hartnell. He started as Morton Dill in part 3 of The Chase, then boarded the Tardis in part 6. He continued his adventures until a new producer came in and told him The Savages would his last. In this interview we learn about his role, his working relationship with William Hartnell, his working with Daleks, and a collectible prop that he threw away. I believe this to be my best interview and my highest ranking guest to date! I also have a most outrageous offer that is 10 times the going price of a new item! Welcome to the new year and the 60th anniversary of Dr. Who! The continuing legend of Morton Dill!
The Most Outrageous Offer! Buy this from Amazon new! The price has gone up since publication!

Takes the piss out of a Dalek as he says. Had no idea it was his audition for Dr. Who.
Let’s talk about the Doctor’s favorite tool, the Sonic Screwdriver. The talk will take a look at the 54-year-history of this fictional tool: from its humble beginnings as a life vest whistle and pen light, to Jodie Whittaker’s modern crystalline design, and will also look at the way it has been used in the narratives. This was recorded live at Chicago Tardis. All visuals will be linked below. We have collection protection, A wrap-up of Chicago Tardis 2022, and the Most Outrageous offer!

50th Anniversary Dr. Who Annual $1999.00 ($4.95 shipping)
1979 was a tough year for the world with high inflation and gasoline prices doubling! It was a good year for Dr. Who. Tom Baker’s Doctor in his 2nd year in the USA and now rural parts of Canada. WH Allen decided to reprint 1 book and print 8 new books this year. Not even keeping pace with 1 per month. Nelson-Doubleday works with Pinnacle to produce a book club hardcover of 3 stories only available in the USA. Tony Whitt and I go through the list in publication order with Tony giving perspective on the actual stories. Larry talks about book conditions and values. These books are very expensive to procure. This will also be the last year you see a cover by Chris Achilleos.

We enter the year 1978. The Allen Wingate imprint is gone and we now have the Longbow/WH Allen, then just WH Allen. These hardcover books now go for big bucks on the secondary market and sometimes the reason is a head scratcher. I go through all of the hardcover books in publication order and my guest, Tony Whitt (Host of the Dr. Who Target Book Club Podcast) tells us what his panel rated each story. Got an extra $6000?

The late Jackie Lane (1941-2021) portrayed the character Dorothea “Dodo” Chaplet in Dr. Who from “The Massacre” part 4 to “The War Machines” Part 2. She would never attend more than one Dr. Who convention and did not participate in any DVD commentary. Big Finish announced that a new actor will play Dodo Chaplet, and that is the great Lauren Cornelius! She is my guest today along with Collection Protection and the Most Outrageous Offer!.

In 1977, 17 hardcover novels were published for Dr. Who under the Allan Wingate imprint. This will be the final year for Allan Wingate and the last year for most reprints. Some of the books listed are only rumored to exist so we still seek proof of life. While obtaining all 17 from this year are very difficult and expensive, some collectors will pay to get them. Join me and Professor of Target Bookology, Tony Whitt (host and producer of the Dr. Who Target Book Club Podcast, for a deep dive into these books. While I give the economics, Tony tells you if it is worth reading.

Back in the 90’s there was no Dr. Who on the air and no Big Finish to satisfy our Dr. Who needs. The New Dr. Who Adventure Books were just what was needed. Now these books are out of print and well sought after. David J. Howe has a new book called The Who Adventures which goes behind the scenes of Virgin Publishing and how these books came to be. My guest is David J. Howe and we talk about his new book and other things. Keep Collecting.

Wyndham publishers put out a total of 4 hardcover books in 1974 and 1975 using the Allan Wingate imprint. They increased that number to 10 in 1976. These hardcover releases mirror the Target paperback imprints exactly. The growing popularity of Dr. Who in 1976 is clearly evident. The demand for these titles in hardcover is shown by the high prices these are demanding even in ex-library condition. Join me and my guest, Tony Whitt (Target Book Club Podcast), as we do a deep dive into the hardcovers of 1976.
Radio Times is a British TV/Radio program guide that has been around for a very long time. Dr. Who is the most represented TV show to ever appear on the cover.

I also have collection protection and the most outrageous offer! Tune in!

How do you celebrate the landmark episode of a podcast you’ve been doing for years now that talks about Target books? Talk about something entirely different! This time, our three-person discussion panel of Tony Whitt, Alyson Fitch-Safreed, and Dalton Hughes is joined by friend of the podcast Larry VanMersbergen for a special bumper volume (hey, that’s a Target reference) for a joint episode with his own show, THE DOCTOR WHO COLLECTORS PODCAST. And what are we discussing? Only the first major crossover between our favorite show and another franchise (and no, I don’t mean the DARK SHADOWS/VAMPIRELLA comic, either): THE DOCTOR AND THE ENTERPRISE!
The not-at-all Target book we will be covering in this episode can be found in four parts (text only) starting at the first link below, or in PDF version at the second link:

Today, we talk with the host and producer of the Target Book Club Podcast, Tony Whitt, about unusual Target Books. These are the books that were not novels, but marketing filler to capitalize on the successful sales run of Target novels. Some appealing to children, some to adults, and who knows about the others. Listen why most of these are not as collectible and you can still get some of them new! Links to buy the selected titles from Doctorwhostore.com is below.

They claim it was automatic pricing software. Keep Collecting!

In this episode, I talk about a prototype or test copy of an item that never went to market and was never available for sale. How many such items exist? No one knows. When these leak out they fetch huge sums to own. This is the ill fated Target Book Collection. A hardcover book with reversible dust cover with a magazine detailing the story and release. Here it is The Web of Fear. I may have the only copy, there might be a few more. Who knows? Maybe you do! Here is an item you might not be able to get!
In this episode, I talk to seasoned Dr. Who collectors and ask them to address the concerns that collectors often have. I am joined by David Russel, Chris DeLuca, and Eluides Pagan. I left the discussion unedited so please excuse that David drops out briefly and comes back. David is from England and the rest from the US. We also have Collection Protection and the Most Outrageous offer. I close with a little disco with a clip of “Dr. Who” by the group Mankind.

Sometimes you have something that you might not consider a collectible. This convention program helped make history and is more valuable to me than anything else. In 1983 I attended my first Dr. Who Convention put on by Chicago Comicon. It was amazing, but the program had important information about every fan club in Chicago.

This along with collection protection, the most outrageous offer, and a bonus audio clip! I share some stories about my days as a Dr. Who dealer that have not been shared before! Keep Collecting!

Well, the best kept secret in the USA has been revealed! Well not really. “Red, White, and Who” has written about it and even interviewed the owner. So why didn’t anyone know about these books when they came out? We may never know. I didn’t know about them when I ran a Dr. Who Store. Here is what I know, and maybe, someone out there knows more… These 5 rare USA Dr. Who hardcovers are legitimate releases with license agreements and everything! Very hard to find outside the USA.
