Type 40 • A Doctor Who Podcast

Episode 127: With Tasha Achilléos

Welcome to Type 40 and this latest conversation in the 60th anniversary year of our favourite television series. Of course, we don’t just celebrate the onscreen Whoniverse, but everything surrounding it too! The lives and contributions of the people that helped build and expand the modern mythology of the man in the blue box and what they’ve meant to us.

Tasha’s husband Christos Achilléos was one of the world’s leading fantasy illustrators & artists. Whose Target book covers of the 1970’s are still reprinted and celebrated today. For Chris they began a long, industrious, and colourful career. Tasha talks to us about his life, work and their relationship. As well as her own passions and connections to the fantasy realm.

Long time listeners will remember Chris once gave Type 40: A Doctor Who Podcast a fascinating interview. He sadly passed away in late 2021. So, this edition of the show is humbly offered as our tribute to Chris: a celebration of that massive contribution to his entire craft. As well as a couple of generations of childhoods.
