"Eddie Izzard fused with the wrath of Tony Hancock" - SNS Online

Actor, writer, stand-up comedian and champion of BBC Television's Doctor Who, Toby Hadoke, joins Nick Randell on the SNS Online chaise longue for an hour of chortle and chat, music and mirth, caves and monsters and plenty more timey wimey escapism! But will Toby take the ultimate challenge when offered a rare chance to sit in a certain infamous black chair? (No, not the plastic one the Master used to kill McDermott in Terror of the Autons...) Yes, Doctor Who Mastermind...is calling!

*Toby also talks openly about his ongoing battle with the skin condition, psoriasis, which he describes as eczema for middle class people.

"Will Toby escape the time trap?

What is the secret of the Paradon Spheres?

Will Final Score ever finish so we can watch Doctor Who?"

With a liberal side order of Geek Chic, how could you possibly resist such an invitation? So join SNS Online in the company of Toby Hadoke, via this link or free download for your future pleasure.

The unstoppable Katy Manning returns in a bumper packed SNS Online, free to download at your leisure! In part two of Katy's autobiographical romp through her life, we tour Sydney, Melbourne and New York - enjoying her television and theatre successes along the way in a series of hilarious and memorable anecdotes - before arriving in London via rave reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe with Me and Jezebel (a one woman play about Hollywood legend, Bette Davis). Her life long friendship with Liza Minnelli - including the truth behind 'that' Ruby Wax interview - is discussed, as well as her enduring relationship with Australian icon, Barry Crocker. That plus a magnificent return to Doctor Who via The Sarah Jane Adventures & Big Finish Productions, a music choice you will not be expecting, and hopes for the future, this is a show NOT to be missed!
