Spare Prats

They said it couldn't be done - 2 podcasts in a week, well it can apparently!

Hasppy 60th Doctor Who day everyone!

Stuart, Jo, Chris & Doug are talking about Doctor Who: The Comic Strip Adaptations Volume 01 - a release of 2 halves for most of the Prats with most of them liking one story and not the other, it even saw 2 of them finding it difficult to finish a story, but was it the same stories they disliked?

A special treat for new year, an interview with Paul Beardsley, better known to some as Third Doctor book Suns of Caresh author Paul Saint who recently guested on our podcast!

Paul talks to Doug and Stuart about how he got into writing, his favourite Doctor and lots more! We think this is one of the first interviews he's done in a very long time so we hope you enjoy it!

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a Spare Prats special... Stuart, Jo, Doug & Chris return for a festive treat where they literally get into the festive spirit (not Doug, he drinks the blood of elves...) and chat about Robert Shearman's Big Finish classic The Chimes of Midnight. Doug gets his grinch outfit on whilst the rest of us enjoy one of Big Finish's finest, but will the 3 other prats be able to change Doug's mind like the 3 ghosts from A Christmas Carol?

Definitely worth a listen and in fact buy Chimes of midnight from Big Finish before you listen: https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/doctor-who-the-chimes-of-midnight-653
