Doctor Who Target Book Club Podcast

Why didn’t we do this story while we were still covering Colin Baker? Why do we know nothing about Evelyn Smythe – and how DO you pronounce her name, anyway? And should all of the Daleks in this story be wearing an orange toupee and enough bronzer to burnish a shield? Come join Tony Whitt, and Dalton Hughes as they ask these questions and more while discussing Rob Shearman’s JUBILEE.

Is it a good thing to have a book that teases the return of Sutekh and never features Sutekh? (Come to think of it, is it a good thing to have an episode that features the return of Sutekh?) What does it mean to be part of history without changing history? And why DOESN’T Ace have a belly button on the cover of this book? Did it leave before she did?

EP 192: TRANSIT by Tony Whitt

Finally – and I mean FINALLY – we present the last of our holiday specials, recorded at Chicago TARDIS 2025.

It’s a game created by The Time-Space Visualiser podcast, so please show them some love too!

You’ll never look at a mushroom omelet the same way again.
