MICHAEL HERBERT talks about DOCTOR WHO AND THE SILURIANS.

First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on October 12th 2025.

This week we welcome back MICHAEL HERBERT whose popular recent biography of the television writer MALCOLM HULKE “THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS WHAT THEY SEEM” has been released into the world for about six months now, but it is still available via Lulu Books.

MICHAEL hasn’t lost interest in the life and work of MALCOLM HULKE yet, however, and earlier in the year he suggested that we might talk specifically about one of his DOCTOR WHO stories for today’s episode, in a conversation which we recorded on the 22nd of JULY 2025.

So, over the course of the next hour, we will mostly be talking about a seven-part story from the very first colour series which had the title DOCTOR WHO AND THE SILURIANS and which was first broadcast in 1970, and starred JON PERTWEE, CAROLINE JOHN, and NICHOLAS COURTNEY.
