Our book club listening takes us into the era of the Thirteenth Doctor, for just the third time.

We've previously featured David Solomons's novels, which were aimed at younger readers, so this is our first dip into the run of three BBC Books.

We speak to Steve Cole about writing Combat Magicks, and returning to the post of project editor on the Doctor Who novels.

We welcome back Al Dewar for another of our semi-regular podcast series, Ask Al.

This is where we give Al your questions about the Character Options action figures, without him knowing them in advance, and you get his full responses.

We've still got lots of questions here, so we'll be using them next time!

(Today's guest theme... What if Tomita did a Doctor Who Theme, by George C Music)

We're back looking at the novels of the Twelfth Doctor era.

Today, Deep Time goes under the microscope, as we speak with author Trevor Baxendale.

We also feature two clips from the official BBC audiobook release, read by Dan Starkey.

As ever, we feature the contemporary DWM review, and what reviewers on Goodreads have said about it too...

Doctor Who fans can be so creative - look at the way the Blu-ray collection is meticulously restored.

But Jess Jurkovic is doing something entirely different - this accomplished jazz pianist is painstakingly recreating Dudley Simpson's Doctor Who scores, for the piano.

He joins us today to talk about his work, and the episode concludes with his highlights from Fury from the Deep.

We head back to the era of the Tenth Doctor, as we look another of the original novels published in 2007.

Writer Paul Magrs joins us to discuss his fun novel, with serious undertones, which features Barbara the vending machine and Toaster the sunbed.

This is a fantastic interview with Paul, who shares the ups and downs of writing for licenced tie-in novels, compared to the days when the Eighth Doctor Adventures were the only ongoing series of new Doctor Who.

Happy New Year!

We kick off 2025 with an episode feature the Power of 3 OG - yes, we've persuaded Grandfather Time himself, Tom Harris, to make an appearance, to join Dave and Kenny.

The trio give their reactions to the Season 7 Blu-Ray reveal - and it's fair to say, they're all fairly happy. Even Tom!

We return to the Doctor Who two-in-one novels, which featured the exploits of Matt Smith's Time Lord.

We look at Web in Space! (reprinted in a solo volume as Web in Space), and discuss it with author David Bailey.

And we've created an all-new reading from the book too!

We reach the concluding part of our look at the Tales of Trenzalore novel from early 2014.

Today, John and Kenny take a look at Strangers in the Outland, by Paul Finch, and The Dreaming, by Mark Morris. Both writers join us to discuss their experiences writing for this collection.

We also have the DWM review, and discuss what we think of the collection.

It seems apt to bring you some extra Christmas-themed episodes given we've just featured The Time of the Doctor.

In a two-part series, we're bringing you a look at Tales of Trenzalore, a 2014 short story collection featuring events that took place during the 900 years the Eleventh Doctor defended the town of Christmas.

Steevie and Kenny take a look at the first couple of stories today, Let It Snow by Justin Richards, and An Apple a Day, by George Mann.

George joins us to talk about his tale too!

Merry Christmas!

It's the annual Power of 3 episode where we take a look at three festive episodes, as the ghost of Christmas past looms over us all.

Today, David, Kenny and special guest co-conspirator Jo examine The Unquiet Dead (look, it's the closest we have to an Eccleston Christmas episode, so go with it!), The Time of the Doctor and The Husbands of River Song.

Which will they love most? There's only one way to find out... TUNE IN!
