That's right!  For two months in a row, this month's guest is joining us again.  He just won't leave!  All kidding aside, James Rockliffe of THE Doctor Who Podcast is with us to discuss his beginnings of Doctor Who fandom, how he got the podcasting bug, and why The Web Planet is still horrible!

Then James brings along his Pick of the Month, the monumental British comedy classic, Dad's Army!  We talk with James about his lifelong fandom with the show, meeting some of his classic heroes, and even starting a podcast about Dad's Army.

Thanks for listening!

Waffle On about The Day of the Jackal.

Part 2 of 12 celebrating 1973.

Hello and welocme to this special year in which both Meds and Kell turn 50 years old. So what better way to celebrate than to do a years worth of films from 1973 and this month we have Edward Fox looking rather cool in The Day of the Jackal. Its a stunningly good film full of suspense and cravats. Also we have never seen such dedication to getting the French accent right, well at least Anton Rodgers tries. 

We hope you enjoy this episode, please do share and stay safe.

Doctor Who's origin story is our focus this week.

There is so, so much to discuss, and it's fitting that Mark from The Trap One Podcast is the one to join me this week. We discuss both the TV serial -- Doctor Who's first four weeks on television in late autumn 1963 -- and the novelization, which came out 65th in Target's publication run but is indeed the first story.

Mark and I have lots and lots of memories this week. And lots more in my audio essay, following the conversation with Mark.

You can find for purchase two Doctor Who spinoff media tales mentioned by Mark:
--"Hunters of the Burning Stone", a comic book sequel to this adventure.
--"The Last Day at Work", a Big Finish freebie audio play also riffing on this adventure.

On YouTube you can find:
--the 1976 Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Weebles set.
--Game 6 of the 1981 World Series, which aired the same week this novelization was published.

"Doctor Who and an Unearthly Child" features cover art by Andrew Skilleter.
Doctor Who Literature is now a member of the Direction Point Doctor Who podcast network.

You can catch all past episodes at https://anchor.fm/doctorwholit.

Well, you folks voted for it so in today's episode episode we are looking at the 1965 William Hartnell episode, THE TIME MEDDLER.

Before then, of course, we also talk some recent Doctor Who news, including Ncuti Gatwa’s new-new costume, five new Target novels, 60th anniversary news from Big Finish, and Season 9 to get the Blu-ray treatment next.

Rob also gets excited about episodes of The Afternoon Show being found and digitised, showing him and his club mates, back in 1988, taking part in a quiz on ABC TV over three days before Remembrance of the Daleks aired.

All that and so much more. If you're an old hand, you know the drill by now. If you're new to the show - hello! We drop a full-length episode like this on the final Sunday of each month, and have done for the past 8 years.

Tune in, drop out, and contact us anytime, hello@theDWshow.net

This time our guest host is good friend Richard Smith from the Something Who podcast as we discuss this month's random picks, Doctor Who - The Game by Darrin Henry and Doctor Who: The Companion Chronicles - The Anachronauts by Simon Guerrier. 

And to talk about his work we are joined by the man himself, Simon Guerrier. 

Rabbit hole topics and recommendations also abound.

Dan and Eric approach the end of thier days and tackle the fancy pants PLANET OF THE DALEKS. They also talk about Eric's trip to Florida and the future of the show.

Outro Music: How to Disappear Completely by Radiohead

This show we do something a little different. This time, as part of our 60th Anniversary celebration of Doctor Who, we are looking at the Doctor Who Diamond logo and its variations through the years. We discuss the TV logo, the familiar merchandise logo, publications logos, and more.
