Latest Podcast Episodes

We close out the 1977 Target novelizations with the longest-ever episode of Doctor Who Literature.

This is largely because we have two interviews this week. First, former Doctor Who producer Philip Hinchcliffe rejoins Jason to discuss his work on 1970s Doctor Who, specifically the TV production and the novelization of "The Masque of Mandragora".

We take a moment to reflect on the passing of Nichelle Nichols and of Vin Scully, the latter of whom has a surprising connection to TV science fiction.

We're then rejoined by Graeme Burk (@GraemeBurk), co-producer and co-host of Reality Bomb. We discuss the differences between our two podcasts, share our love for the Philip Hinchcliffe era, and both the TV and book versions of "Masque of Mandragora", share some laughs... and then go deep into debate over "Talons of Weng-Chiang", subject of last week's episode. Was "Talons" controversial when it came out in 1977? When did public opinion start to shift? Was "Talons" really banned in Canada? And, after clearing the air, we discuss Graeme's soon-to-be-released Hinchcliffe biography.

Lastly, Jason goes deep into the "Masque" novelization, and wouldn't even say no... to a salami... sandwich.

How has a Doctor Who podcast got through almost four seasons without doing a Cyberman episode? A great question, but the Doctor Who Show has achieved that. Until now.

In this episode, Rob and Dave talk Cybermen in a nice, loose discussion encompassing the 60s, 70s, 80s, Wilderness Years, Nu-Who, Big Finish and other media that the silver giants have appeared in. All interspersed with their own feelings on the overall Cyberman concept, behind the scenes, and more.

Of course, the episode also features news and mini-topics, including Doctor Who's no-show at SDCC 2019.

Hope you enjoy the episode! Contact us anytime, hello@theDWshow.net

Let’s get down to brass tacks here: the current Doctor Who Time Team are going to be action dollies according to teasings from the Character Options folks. All other news pales in comparison, but we do have updates on new Big Finish Productions, “The Power of the Daleks” photos going for a whole lot of cash at an auction, and an (unofficial) 13th Doctor LEGO TARDIS console room. But the true highlight is of course your questions and comments to us about that show we all like in the form of…Fluid Links!

Everything is a throwback, nothing is original.

What better time to completely revamp the format for the podcast than a moment in the show when absolutely nothing changed in the show? It makes total and complete sense to me, I’m actually not being facetious right now at all. Less things that the audience has to adjust to, you know? It’s The Magician’s Apprentice & The Witch’s Familiar, written by Steven Moffat and aired on September 19 and 26, 2015.
