IT'S THE end of an era on audio, as the Doctor's friend C'rizz departs in spectacular style.

We're talking about Absolution, Big Finish's 101st monthly range release, which was written by Scott Alan Woodard.

He joins us to discuss the story, and then C'rizz himself, Conrad Westmaas, shares his thoughts on his departure.

PAUL McGann is back in costume! Woohoo!

This week we find out how his new Night of the Doctor costume came about, as we speak to Long Island Doctor Who convention organiser Ken Deep, tailor Steven Ricks and prop maker James Sutton.

And Kenny is joined by Eighth Doctor cosplayer/the most famous Belgian in the world, Tinne Peeters.

REMEMBER when we didn't know what caused the Eighth Doctor to regenerate? And then in 2013 we found out, in The Night of the Doctor?

Little did we know that Russell T Davies had also plotted out the end of Paul McGann's incarnation, for a short story, which ultimately never saw the light of day until the Doctor Who: Adventures in Lockdown series, first published in the BBC website and later, in print.

We bring you a full reading of the story this week, complete with music and sound design, as well as Russell T Davies' introduction to the story brought to life by Big Finish's Narvin himself - Seán Carlsen!

Join Kenny and Matt for a discussion on the story, as they find a large number of similarities between Doctor Who and the Time War and The Night of the Doctor.

WE MAKE a fast return to the world of Big Finish Short Trips this week, as we explore The Hall of the Ten Thousand.

The Ten Thousand represent everything the Doctor admires. Ingenuity, creativity and triumph of peace over war. So, naturally, he’s taken Charlotte Pollard to see them.

Kenny and Tinne take a look at this tale, featuring interviews with producer Alfie Shaw and writer Jaine Fenn. You can find out more about her work at www.patreon.com/jainefenn

WHO WANTS to live forever?, asked Queen in their song.

We find out the answer to this question in Immortal Beloved, as the Eighth Doctor and Lucie encounter Zeus, Hera and a number of other gods.

Today, Kenny and guest co-host Tinne Peeters chat about Lucie Miller's fourth episode, and have exclusive chats with writer Jonathan Clements, talking about the story for the first time on a podcast, and actor David Dobson, who played Tayden/Ares.

We've taken a while to enter Eighth Doctor comics territory again, having featured one in our second episode, and now we've featured two in one season!

Today, we're taking a look at The Forgotten, a six-part comic series published in 2008/09 by IDW Comics, and featured the Eighth Doctor in one part.

We speak with writer Tony Lee, in another conversation recorded at Gallifrey in February.

WE'RE BACK looking at a Big Finish Short Trip, but this time, it's a more recent one.

Kenny and guest co-host Matt Michael discuss Death Will Not Part Us, before producer/writer Alfie Shaw explains where the story ideas came from, and sound designer/composer Richard Fox reveals how it all came together in the editing stage.

HAD YOU ever heard of Gef the Talking Mongoose before listening to The Dalby Spook? We hadn't!

This week, Kenny and guest co-host Dave Steel learn all about the mysterious Gef, a mongoose who apparently spoke, whilst living on the Isle of Man in the 1930s.

We're joined by co-author Stewart Pringle, actor Harry Myers, sound designer Benji Clifford and musician Jamie Robertson, to find out more. Was Gef real? We want to believe!

SHADA - the incomplete Doctor Who story that's been completed so many times over the years.

Today, we're taking a look at the version from 2003, when Big FInish went into studio to record the audio for the story, which was coupled with Lee Sullivan's art, and animated for the BBC website as part of the 40th anniversary celebrations.

This week we chat with producer Gary Russell, illustrator Lee Sullivan and musician Russell Stone, as we take a look at the adaptation of Douglas Adams's script.

Our guest co-host this week is everyone's favourite Belgian, Tinne Peeters.

WE HEAD into new territory for Pieces of Eighth with this week's episode, as we look at a Short Trip from one of Big Finish's early audio collections.

We chat with Simon Guerrier about Letting Go, which was commissioned by editor Xanna Eve Chown and appeared on the second volume of the Short Trips audios.

It was narrated by India Fisher, and Becca gets jealous (again) that Kenny spoke to someone for the podcast whilst in LA...
