Doctor Who: We're All Stories in the End episodes

October 14 Professor Howe and the Minty Merchant
Here for a very enjoyable adventure not entirely dissimilar to 1964's Marco Polo, we speak to the author, Chris Stone. There's also Purviswatch, for any Doctor Who fans who need to keep on top of all Peter Purvis-related developments.

Support Children in Need and enjoy a Doctor Who spoof. You can buy Professor Howe and the Minty Merchant here, and find the full series of titles here.

October 07 The Clash of Cultures
Simon Bucher-Jones might be making a very interesting point about class, here, but we generally miss any such point and instead talk about Four Corners in New Mexico, The 90's, and so on. Join us then as we dissect another Doctor Who short story. Email us at [email protected] or find me on Bluesky at @theiainmartin.bsky.social. You can usually find Ryan sleeping beneath a hedge along the A4 because he just can't handle himself, you know?

September 24 The Changing Face of Doctor Who: Royal Blood by Una McCormack
This month I've been reading a Doctor Who novel with Michael Mills. There's an alien artefact, a quest for the Grail, and a very fetching necklace. Fun times, then, for the Twelfth Doctor and Clara.

September 09 The Besheshra Bash
It's time for another Eighth Doctor story! In one of the most egregious displays of naked hypocrisy, Iain and Ryan take offence at some childish, scatological humour while discussing Nick Walter's short story "The Besheshra Bash", which is available in Obverse Books' excellent collection Party Like It's 1998. I guess it wasn't for us, but other people will really enjoy this one. So read it and judge it for yourself. There's lots of stuff in here about poo and following through, so if you aren't up for toilet humour, maybe skip this episode? I dunno, you do you.

August 27 Just War by Lance Parkin
One of the very best Virgin-era Doctor Who novels comes under the microscope this episode. I'm joined by Alex Wilcock, with thoughts from Kevin at the end of this long, enthusiastic celebration of brilliance.

Do me a favour: read my stuff!

August 12 Do I Have To Do This All Over Again? by Jonathan Blum
Iain and Ryan get poitical with this Eighth Doctor story that is literally ripped from today's headlines. Well, not literally. At least I assume not. I don't know how Blum operates...

July 29 The Changing Face of Doctor Who: The Ambassadors of Death by Terrance Dicks
Myself and Harry try, but largely fail, to find anything new to say about uncle Terrance's excellent novelisation of The Ambassadors of Death.

July 15 Knocky Nine Doors
What childishness is this? Iain and Ryan bang on your door then run away giggling. Also there's a discussion of the lovely Ian Hayles' short story Knocky Nine Doors from Obverse Books' Party Like it's 1998. Why not buy a copy, for a very good cause.

June 25 Interference Book II: The Hour of the Geek by Lawrence Miles
A bit of an important one, this one. Brace yourselves, because nothing will be the same after this EDA...

Iain is joined once again by Ryan Blake to probe into a 5 pointed star. OH BEHAVE.

About Doctor Who: We're All Stories in the End

From the publisher's feed

We're all just stories in the end. It's as true for the Doctor as it is for any of us. If, like me, you’ve grown up reading the Target novelisations, the Virgin New Adventures, the BBC Eighth Doctor…
