JUST when you thought there was no more Eighth Doctor to novelise, he pops up in a Fourth Doctor book.

Stephen Gallagher recently wrote a new short story featuring Paul McGann's Doctor, which was included as part of his novelisation of Warriors' Gate.

Kenny and Matt chat their way through the story, which includes a brief reading from it, before hearing from editor Steve Cole and the writer himself.

A fuller chat with Steve Gallagher appears in The Power of Three podcast, episode 128.

We'll return later this month.  Thanks for listening!

In this week’s show, we dip back into some stories that take place in the fan-created, BBC-sanctioned “Season 6B”. This is the era between The War Games and Spearhead From Space.

This time we review a VERY recent release from Big Finish, Doctor Who: The Second Doctor Adventures: James Robert McCrimmon.

Plus, some news about an upcoming book release.

And, Glenn shares this week’s “Something New, 2 Minute Review”. Well, sort of. You’ll have to listen to find out.

Enjoy!

This week, the Doctor and River Song get married in an episode that completely rewrites itself before our very eyes, and the eyepatch anecdote makes its triumphant return to the show. You are all cordially invited to The Wedding of River Song.

Notes and links

Richard identifies some possible inspirations for this episode, including Cloud Atlas (2004) by David Mitchell and The Master and Margarita (1967) by Russian author Mikhail Bulgakov.

Nathan mentions Steven Moffat’s adaptation of Dracula (2020), in which two of the three episodes use the same narrative framing technique he uses in this episode, where the events of the episode start to impinge on the story being told in flashback at the start of the episode.

Steven B calls The Doctor’s Wife a “nerd-baiting title” in our episode on that story, called, appropriately Nerd-Baiting Title. Nathan levels the same accusation against the title of this story.

“Und dann sind die beiden kurz davor, die Lecktücher rauszuholen, aber dann steht Dan schon wieder im Raum.”

Ist es noch dumm oder ist es schon Arbeitsverweigerung? Kommt der Staffelarc zu einem guten Ende? Kann eine Staffel weniger sein als die Summe ihrer Teile? Diese und weitere Fragen klären André und Raphael im heutigen Review zu “The Vanquishers”.

Scott's Short Reviews - Invasion of The Dinosaurs

The Doctor and Sarah Jane arrive on Earth in the midst of the chaos and begin investigating the cause of temporal disturbances that make dinosaurs appear on the streets of London. They discover that a group of scientists, led by the renegade scientist Professor Whitaker, are behind the scheme. They are using a device called the "time reversal" to bring dinosaurs to the present day, with the intention of "cleansing" the Earth by erasing the technological advancements that they believe have led to its decline.

Join a very tired Scott as he takes a video diary approach to reviewing this story and what will he make of those dinosaurs?
