Saward’s not done with the show at this point yet, but we’re done with Saward, and it’s about…well, mostly about Douglas Adams, to be honest. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Saward was being really bloody sincere. Join Tony Whitt, Dalton Hughes, and Alyson Fitch-Safreed as they discuss the novelization of the radio play story SLIPBACK!

In some alternate universe, the BBC had complete confidence in Colin Baker; Season 23 was produced and premiered right on schedule; and Graham Williams wrote the first of what would be a long line of excellent scripts for the show he once produced. None of those things happened in our universe, of course – but we still got the excellent Graham Williams story. Tony Whitt, Dalton Hughes, and Alyson Fitch-Safreed talk about the first of three stories that were never produced (and one which was) as we do the first of several agonizingly short seasons, beginning with Season 22B and THE NIGHTMARE FAIR.

Last time Eric Saward squared off against the New Zealand Doctor Who Fan Club, it didn’t go so well for him. What about this time? Has Saward learned from the excesses that laid RESURRECTION so low? Has the NZDWFC provided us a better read yet again? Come listen as Tony Whitt, Dalton Hughes, and Alyson Fitch-Safreed debate whether a bunch of references to tinclavic and Terileptils actually make for a worse novelization.

Some fans have called this story cursed, and after losing two-thirds of our first attempt to record this episode and then having to remount it three weeks later, we agree! (Is this what it felt like to make SHADA? They both have Denis Carey in them, so…maybe HE’S the curse?) Come join Tony Whitt, Alyson Fitch-Safreed, and Dalton Hughes as we try to endure this book without having to call an ambulance. (Just listen and that attempt at a joke will make more sense.

You’re listening to your favorite podcast (ha!), and they decide to cover SEARCH FOR THE DOCTOR by Dave Martin, one of the FIND YOUR FATE books featuring the Sixth Doctor. If you decide to stick around and here what Tony Whitt and Dalton Hughes have to say about this bizarre book, go to 159. If you decide you’d rather wait until they get around to discussing a novelization of a real story such as (snort!) TIMELASH, go to 160. If you decide to do neither of these things, well, you already know where you can go, so there.

What exactly is the literary equivalent of a video nasty? And does the novelization of VENGEANCE ON VAROS really fit the bill, or is it more of a political satire in the vein of 1984 – or maybe both? Come join Tony Whitt, Alyson Fitch-Safreed, and Dalton Hughes as we try to figure out exactly what Philip Martin was trying to do with this book, and why it took him nearly four years to do it.
