STEVE HATCHER on twenty years of "New Who" (part two)

First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on March 30th 2025.

Last week, as you hopefully already will know, STEVE HATCHER joined me to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the revived version of DOCTOR WHO from CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON right through to the current incumbent NCUTI GATWA, and, whilst we had a long chat about the show, we did fail to address the copious notes that STEVE had made in preparation for that show, for which he had selected his one favourite episode - or story – from each of the DOCTORS from across those twenty years.

So it really only seemed fair to invite him back to discuss those stories, why he chose them, and make our little VISION ON SOUND celebration, or acknowledgement, into a two-part episode that hopefully brackets the anniversary week in a most satisfying way.

Also, please try not to worry. We’re not trying to make this show into yet another DOCTOR WHO themed production. There’s plenty of other archive telly just waiting to be talked about. It’s just that, well, the DOCTOR WHO community do have a lot to say, and sometimes that show does pass one of those significant milestones that we really can’t ignore, given that its longevity does mean that its name runs through popular TV archive history like letters through a stick of rock.

PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition. All the spoken word content remains (mostly) as it was in the broadcast version. Hopefully this won't spoil your enjoyment of the show.
