Doctor Who: We're All Stories in the End

We're all just stories in the end. It's as true for the Doctor as it is for any of us. Over a hundred exciting stories appeared in the wilderness years, from Virgin Publishing and BBC Books, and it's these we'll be talking about in our book club - but we'll also be talking about our stories too, as fans, as readers, as humans. It would be lovely if you felt like joining us. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    32. Father Time

    Join Iain and Si as they travel back to the 80's for a look at the EDA "Father Time" by Lance Parkin, and discuss 80's cartoons, Guns N' Roses, the secret of the Klade, and the TV episode "The Doctor's Daughter". Amongst other things... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    31. Falls the Shadow by Daniel O'Mahoney

    To discuss 1995's gargantuan New Adventure Falls the Shadow, I'm joined from UNIT HQ by Corporal Blake, who had as hard a time with the novel as I did, and of course by our resident reader Kevin, who gives a second opinion that pretty much matches our own. The book remains a challenging and at times unpleasant read, at the farthest edges of what Doctor Who novels can set out to do, without actually being Transit. Follow me! I'm @seaoftranquillitylane on Threads. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    30. Eternity Weeps by Jim Mortimore

    It's the return of Jon Arnold this month, as we discuss Eternity Weeps by Jim Mortimore, the fourth-from-final New Adventure published by Virgin in 1997. And now I've just realised this range even predates the Blair era and now I feel so old I could cry. In fact, I shall. But while I'm doing that, you can listen to this most excellent of episodes, and you can follow me on the increasingly pointless social media platform Threads, where I'm @seaoftranquillitylane, Jon is @jonarnold9 and Kevin -our tame Doctor Who fan- is @livewire122.

    29. Escape Velocity by Colin Brake

    After spending a hundred years tooling about with no memories or TARDISes, Iain and Mark Cockram from All of Time and Space meet in St. Louis for a long-awaited reunion and a bit of a chat about Colin Brake's Eighth Doctor Adventure Escape Velocity. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    28. Endgame by Terrance Dicks (sort of...)

    Join myself and Dylan "Goddam" Rees from Too Hot For TV to pick the bones out of this cold-war spy thriller from the pen of Doctor Who's greatest noveliser, Terrance Dicks. On the way, we also touch upon the related topics of whiskey, Justin Richards' careful padding, Axl Rose, 'Allo 'Allo! and Terrance's best-ever Doctor Who story. Hint: it isn't this one.

    27. Emotional Chemistry by Simon A. Forward

    Join Iain and friend-of-the-show D.K. for a freewheeling conversation about the Eighth Doctor Adventure Emotional Chemistry, written by Simon A. Forward and published by BBC Books in the year of our lord 2003. We ramble over a wide conversational area with unexpected mentions of Terrahawks, Star Fleet and the actress Eva Green, and we have our first meeting with the last companion to join the EDA range, the enigmatic Trix... All kinds of snow, time travel and intrigue await us in this novel, set shortly after the Battle of Reykjavik. Welcome, my people. Welcome. Hosted on Acast.

    26. Ea(s)ter of Wasps by Trevor Baxendale

    We're back to continue our journey through all things Virgin New Adventure and Eighth Doctor Adventures. This month, we're going back in time to a quiet village overrun with killer wasps and sentient nuclear bombs (a bit like Professor Bracewell in Victory of the Daleks, odd that...) Join Iain and Kevin to talk about this novel, and how Kevin is coping with all this reading he's undertaking... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Winter Special - The Specials!

    Join Iain and Harry (along with his former partner-in-nonsense Luke, just a homeless ex-podcaster now that WCCY is no more) as they discuss the four recent new episodes of television's Doctor Who: The Star Beast, Wild Blue Yonder, The Giggle, and The Church on Ruby Road, to prove a theory: that Doctor Who is divisive, that not everyone needs to enjoy every single story, and that none of our individual opinions matter much in the grand scheme of things and no-one should ever feel threatened or triggered just because someone else holds a different opinion concerning an episode, a book, an audio or an action figure from a daft old kids TV show. Get in touch! I'm @seaoftranquillitylane on Threads and @theiainmartin.bsky.social on Bluesky. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
