A Hamster With a Blunt Penknife - a Doctor Who Commentary podcast

Join Joe & Jack as they are almost burnt at the stake in the sacred flame chamber of the Sisterhood of Karn. We enthuse about the suspense generated by director Christopher Barry, marvel at the ripe, witty dialogue and marvel at the spittoon resting on Maren’s head.

Join Joe & Jack as they head to the storm lashed planet of Karn for what is technically a The Nimon Be Praised extra! Jack has zero respect for my fabulous intro, we are both in awe of the set design, and Joe can’t get over how grisly the cliffhanger turns out to be. (Sound check bolted on the end just for our rendition of the Tellytubbues theme tube).

Joe Lidster talks candidly about his time working on The Sarah Jane Adventures, and his conception, execution and revision of the series four story The Nightmare Man. It is a fascinating conversation packed with insights and tips about writing for television. I hope you enjoy. (All calls were recorded online and so sound quality can vary. Be kind).
