The Twelfth Doctor is back in this special novella from BBC Books.
We chat with author Tasha Suri about her entry from the Decades Collection, The Cradle, which is set during the 70s.
Tasha was previously tied up in deadlines when our previous episode on the Decades Collection was being prepared, but she's with us now for a fascinating insight into writing this rather fab novella.
Don't be a pudding brain - read it!

207: The Decades Collection - The Cradle

A podcast discussing Doctor Who-related items, more often than not in threes, whether stories, guests, or anything else. Featuring Big Finish's Kenny Smith, and in the early episodes, regular appearances from Tom Harris (the former Labour MP)  and David Steel (not the former Liberal Party MP, MSP and leader). 

Dave still appears, as do Dr John Bollan and Stephen Day, with Tom fleetingly materialising.

We also have a host of great Doctor Who guests using "Kenny's bottomless address book" (c) David Steel.

TV & Film

Dot and Bubble seems to have split fandom with their thoughts on Russell T Davies' look at social media... and more.
Steevie, Kenny and John take a close look at the themes which emerge from it, especially how fandom uses social media.
We think it's quite a thoughtful discourse - do you agree with us?

241: Dot and Bubble

The Power of 3 is the podcast home of the story of the action figures, and now, we're VERY excited by a new book.
It's been revealed that Go Figure! is on the way, being published by Roundel Books, and is billed as: "The ultimate collector’s guide to Character Options’s 5.5” Doctor Who action figures from 2005-2024!"
Dave and Kenny are so excited, and the book's designer Will Brooks joins us to tease the project.

240: It Figures...

Tom Baker on the Power of 3? You must be joking! But we're not!
Kenny's been frootling around in his loft, and recently came across a VHS tape, recorded at Scottish convention more than 30 years ago.
Tom Baker appeared on Sunday, 31 May, 1992, at Paisley Arts Centre, an event Dave and Kenny both attended (although they didn't know each other at the time).
This recording has been transferred from a long-play camcorder cassette recording, to VHS, to DVD, and then had the soundtrack lifted and digitally restored (with a bit of AI help).
Huge thanks to Cameron Robertson for his sound restoration.

239: Tom Baker Talks!

Well, that was creepy, wasn't it?
John, Kenny and Steevie discuss the latest episode of Doctor Who, as Russell T Davies delivers some scares, laughs and more mysteries.
And there's a surprise appearance from the theme tune from an old British TV show, which some of you may recall...
Please note: This episode does NOT feature a creepy old lady.

238: 73 Yards
