Hamster Book Club - The Doctor Who Book Club Podcast

Easily the angriest episode of The Hamster Book Club, we discuss a hugely problematic book and discuss how a range wasn't cancelled on the basis of its offensiveness from the off...

Who on Earth was Trix Macmillan? A short story that dives into the possible backstories of the Doctor's companion cut short because of the return of the New Series...

Lovely Luke Sims-Jenkins takes 90 minutes out of his day to celebrate and condemn his top and bottom ten Doctor Who books...

An unpopular book, at the end of a popular arc, and introducing a companion that used to be quite unpopular...but has matured into somebody quite popular! Phew!

In the third part of our TV Movie, ahem, celebration, we take a look at a witty, silly, nonsensical script full of engaging characters and great performances...so how does the novelisation fare?

For once, Mark and I don't know what to think of a book. Is it good? Bad? Cluttered? Fun? Does it have something to say? Cliched? Funny? Racist? All of the above...

Lovely Steven takes a deep dive into the Widerness Years to explore his favourite and least favourite Doctor Who books.

We have a great time discussing this deranged, hilarious, clever and profound 11th hour EDA. Anthony joins me for the maddest reading of am outrageous scene towards the end. You have been warned!

Content warning (from the off!) - mass murder, frenzied violence, rape, prostitutes, misogyny, racism, cannibalism, spewing maggots, infanticide & whistle tootling all discussed within!

Joe & Jon are in in love with this book, Luke likes it a lot but finds some faults, and Andrew (who hasn't read it before) isn't sure it is the book he wanted...plus can anyone help us sort out the mythology here?
