Hello dear listener! Dave's taken a leave of absence (we'll do the planned FATHER TIME episode next month), and tonight Rob is talking to the self-professed 'Pip & Jane Baker of co-hosts', Mike Solko, on a missing story from Season 23 of Doctor Who, PARADISE 5.

Before then, all the usual news and short topics you’ve come to expect – including surprise showrunner talk from RTD, and new trailers for Season 2 of the show. In Short Topics, Mike covers the changes coming to Gallifrey One (the world's largest and longest-running annual Doctor Who fan convention), in the years ahead. 

Later on, after the Paradise 5 section, we have a ton of listener feedback and what we’ve been watching this past month. Something for everyone! Fill your boots!
