Episode 109A - Harry Sullivan's War (with Jim Sangster‪)‬ Doctor Who Literature

1986 saw the release of the first two Companions of Doctor Who novels, original full-length books rather than novelizations of Doctor Who TV serials. There would only be one more after this one. Harry Sullivan's War was written by Ian Marter, who died tragically young, on his own 42nd birthday, just a couple of weeks after the book's release.

Jim Sangster rejoins me as the guest for this week's book -- and also wrote this week's theme song!

A video for Jim's son is found here. Song written by Jim Sangster and sung by Antony Owen.

The first 8 minutes are an audio essay about the 1986 baseball season. If you're not a baseball fan, you will be after hearing this essay (or not).

Recent guest Dale Smith recently penned an essay about Turlough and the Earthlink Dilemma, the first Companions of Doctor Who novel, covered on this show (by Dale Smith!) just last month.
