Remember that time Michael Jackson wanted to be Doctor Who? No, it really happened, as we explore in this podcast.

We start off with a chat about the appearance of the replica of the original TARDIS console from Mark Gatiss' An Adventure in Space and Time at the Paris Comic Con (it will later be seen at the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff) before chatting about the frankly insane "news" that Michael Jackson and Bill Cosby were names suggested for a US production of Doctor Who in the 1980s.

But the highlight this week is probably a chat with Richard Kirby, author of the rather wonderful Desperately Seeking Susan Foreman, an account, complete with brief reviews of stories, of one man's quest to find autographs from all of the Doctor' female companions (and not, as we mention before the interview, every single companion). Richard is fascinating to speak to, and it's always great to feature a guest. I wonder WHO we might have next time...?

But for now, it's on with the show, so let the house band play you in!
