On the one hundredth and fifth edition of Reality Bomb, we're getting excited about the arrival of Millie Gibson as the new companion Ruby Sunday as we talk to Jim Sangster and Julie Chaston about what Gibson might bring to the role and how her three years on Coronation Street might prove to be an advantage. Also Graham Kibble-White has an audio essay on Doctor Who's diamond logo and why it's caught the fancy of so many Doctor Who fans over the years. And writer Nev Fountain is taking us on a trip to Lanzarote, or is that Sarn, as Peter Davison's 1984 penultimate adventure Planet of Fire is in the Gallery of the Underrated. Plus a fan reminisces about where they were when Millie Gibson was cast!

“Remember us. Dream of us.”

Rosanna Calvierri

This week, James is getting excited about being accepted into a new finishing school, Todd is being complacent about the size of his torch, Nathan is huddling in a corner repeatedly saying the word fish, and friend-of-the-podcast Karen Carpenter is lying in the courtyard and rehydrating. It’s The Vampires of Venice.

Notes and links

While we were preparing this episode for release, we were saddened to learn of the death of Helen McCrory, who played Rosanna Calvierri in The Vampires of Venice, and who died of cancer just a few days ago at the age of 52. Her husband, Damian Lewis, posted a beautiful tribute to her on Twitter.

Rather than having to contend with literally millions of tourists, the production team decided to recreate Venice in the tiny Croatian town of Trogir.

The Doctor might have tried to be a bit more careful defusing that weather control thing in the final act — the Campanile di San Marco collapsed in 1902 and had to be rebuilt.

And, finally, here’s Helen McCrory herself, describing her role in the 2000 production of Anna Karenina in The Guardian.

IN OCTOBER 1997, BBC Books achieved something that their predecessors at Virgin had been unable to achieve with the New and Missing Adventures - an original novel with the Daleks.

Written by John Peel, a friend of Dalek creator Terry Nation, it saw the Eighth Doctor, Sam, Davros, Thals, Movellans and Daleks all feature.

Today's episode features a chat with the writer, as well as range editor Steve Cole.

With Warren in the Eastern Zone of Time, the Three Who Rule spend a late Friday night jabbering about Doctor Who like the cool guys they are (not). This consists of not only the rather light assortment of news for the week but also marvelling over the many and various streaming services giving us random Classic Who 24/7. Living the dream! And indeed you will be too as we also bring you 80s Cybermen waving their fists angrily in Part Three of our Classic Series Commentary for “Earthshock”!
