DON'T CRY for me, Weeping Angels! The Doctor, Liv and Helen encounter those blinking assassins again, and it leads to a hugely emotional adventure.

It's our biggest episode yet this season, with a fantastic four guests, including writer Roy Gill, Albie himself, Mr Barnaby Jago, musician Jamie Robertson, and sound designer Benji Clifford.

We also have Song for Helen - get those hankies ready!

ONE OF the great crimes of the 90s, with regards from Doctor Who (aside from a lack of a TV series for the Eighth Doctor) was the fact that the show never got an annual that year.

Something of a British tradition, each Christmas, children are given a hardbacked book, containing comics and stories with their favourite characters from TV, film, toys, etc, as well as puzzles and games.

But now, 27 years after it should have been published, The Doctor Who Annual 1997 has arrived, from Terraqueous Distribution.

With Becca on maternity leave, Kenny's joined by his Power of 3 co-conspirator David Steel, and chat with editor Mark, as well as one of its many writers, Rob Nisbet.

WHO doesn't like a good, in-depth interview? After all, that's what Pieces of Eighth is all about!

This week, we take a look at Reeltime Pictures' release of The Doctors: Paul McGann Years, which features a chat with the Eighth Doctor actor, co-stars Daphne Ashbrook, Yee Jee Tso and Eric Roberts, as well as executive producer Philip Segal, and TV Movie director Geoffrey Sax.

We chat with Reeltime's Keith Barnfather, who tells us about the origins of the range in the 1980s, and how it's become a vital repository for people wanting to know all about the classic series era, in the words of those who made the show.

IT'S A SHORT Trip that has been released four times, it's THAT good.

We're talking about Museum Peace, written by James Swallow, which sees Kalendorf from Big Finish's Dalek Empire series encountering the Eighth Doctor in a museum. And there's a Dalek in it too.

We speak with James, and also Nicholas Briggs, who narrated the story, as well as doing the music and sound design, for its release as an audio Short Trip.

You can find out more about James' work at https://jswallow.com/ and Museum Peace can be bought from the Big Finish website.

It's another one of Kenny's chats in person from Gallifrey, as we welcome back our old pals Matthew Jacobs and Vanessa Yuille.

They chat about the impact of their film, Doctor Who Am I?, and find out how Matthew now views his place in the Whoniverse.

Becca's not jealous of the trip at all...

WE'RE back into the territory of the original Lucie Miller adventures, to the delight of one of your co-hosts.

We have a chat with Paul Sutton, the writer of No More Lies, the sixth story in the first run of Lucie Miller adventures.

It's the first time Paul's chatted about the story, and he reveals how his research into Hungarian folk songs played a part in the tale.

WE'RE BACK - and it's about time we featured another comic featuring the Eighth Doctor.

This week, we feature Titan Comics' Empire of the Wolf, in a chat with editor Jake Devine, and writer Jody Houser - recorded by Kenny in person at Gallifrey in February this year. It's the first of several interviews from Stateside, for this run of episodes.

Ahead of the launch of our sixth season, we're delighted to bring you some rare material, with these trailers for Invaders From Mars, as originally broadcast on Radio 7 in 2005.

Here's four short teasers, to get listeners hooked - aren't they great?

HAPPY NEW Year! Doctor Who's 60th anniversary year is upon us in 2023.

And to kick off the celebrations, we asked our listeners to share with us their favourite Eighth Doctor stories, on TV, audio, books, comics, etc.

This episode is dedicated to the memory of our friend Si Hodges, who kindly provided us with images to use in several season three episodes, including the Beyond the Vortex episodes, and creating us a special piece of art for The People's Temple episode. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS! We didn't originally plan to do this episode, but the opportunity arose, to bring you some special presents on Christmas Day.

Firstly, we've a present for you, dear listener. We've married up Gordon Tipple's original opening narration for the TV Movie, with the soundtrack, to hear how it may originally have sounded.

Secondly, we've a present for Becca, as we're joined by a special Christmas Day guest!

And finally, we've another present for you all, as we have a reading of the Short Trip Evergreen, which is performed by its original author.

We're DEFINITELY finished for this year now - this is our 70th episode of 2022!
