Planet of Fire was a Doctor Who episode with an awful lot happening in it. We here at Doctor Who Literature are of course very fond of it. So, to celebrate, here's an episode... with an awful lot happening in it.

Graeme Burk (@graemeburk) from Reality Bomb joins us to discuss his favorite Doctor Who TV story from the past 60 years.

Mark (@QuarkMcMalus) from The Trap One Podcast joins us for a correspondent's piece on the island of Lanzarote.

David Barsky checks back in with us to discuss Planet of Fire, the record albums of Peter Wyngarde, surprising messages coded in our DNA, and what it's really like to walk on red-hot lava flow.

The song "I Remember It Well" from the film Gigi can be found here.

In a bonus episode in between our looks at the 1984 and 1985 Target novelizations, we're joined by Andrew Smith (@Andr3wSmith), author of the classic Doctor Who episode (in every sense) Full Circle.

This is a great time to revisit my episode on the Full Circle novelization, which was written by the man himself.

It's Frontios week on Doctor Who Literature. This is one of the underrated gems of the Peter Davison story, but Si Hart (@Si_Hart) and I are here to spread the word.

The new 60th Anniversary mini-season trailer dropped on the day that this episode releases. Jason gives his instant reaction to the trailer -- perhaps too instant, as Jason had not seen the concurrent BBC tweet identifying Neil Patrick Harris' character!

The last Doctor Who novelization published before I became I fan of the TV show, it's The Highlanders. Joining us to discuss is a guest who's visited the Culloden battlefield several times, and who actually purchased his copy of this book in the Highlands, it's Daniel Knight (@DanielKnight1973)!

Musical cues featured in this episode include The British Grenadiers and The Skye Boat Song. One particular gag in the text owes a life debt to Netflix's late lamented "The Who Was? Show".

A jumbo-sized episode as Ross (@traitken) from Gallifrey's Most Wanted (@GallifreysMWPod) stops by to discuss The Aztecs, both the 1964 Doctor Who TV serial and the 1984 novelization. We have lots to say about it... as well as about critical readings of the story, OPPENHEIMER, Bing Crosby, and our favorite American soap operas.

Also contributing to the show this week are Jim Sangster (@Monster_Maker) with an introductory segment, and Doctor Who author Kate Orman, who narrates her own 1992 essay on the Aztecs book.

Audio from Game 7 of the 1960 World Series: an excerpt, and the recovered full game video.

Also discussed this week is James Cooray Smith's Substack essay on The Krotons.

And now, the episode of Doctor Who Literature that you've all been waiting for... the showdown between Frazer Gregory (@FelixFrazer) and myself over what many believe (but not Frazer) is one of the worst Doctor Who tales of all. But today, the debate will be settled (or not).

Also appearing this week are Stacey Smith?, reading an excerpt from Look at the Size of That Thing, and Bill Evenson (@BillEvenson) reading an excerpt from Outside In.
