One of the joys of reading a novelization is reliving a story that you’ve always loved. Another joy of reading a novelization is not having to see the things you despised in a story that you’ve always hated. Come join Tony Whitt, Alyson Fitch-
It’s a new era, and we celebrate…never having to read another Pip and Jane Baker book again. (Did you really think I was about to say “the beginning of the McCoy era”? Well, that too.) Come join Tony Whitt, Alyson Fitch-Safreed, Dalton Hughes,
Who would’ve believed that we could discuss THE ULTIMATE FOE for longer than the actual run-time of the story – and that we could say mostly positive things about it? Granted, there’s still that business of some weird future Doctor being the vi
Killer plants! A murder mystery! Scheming agronomists! Ellipses…sentence fragments…and exclamation marks! EVERYWHERE! And so much new vocab! Come join Tony Whitt, Alyson Fitch-Safreed, Dalton Hughes, and special guest Matthew Kresal as they dis
Is Peri dead? Is she unhappy in a forced marriage? Is she unhappy as the manager of a pro wrestler named Yrcanos? And what exactly does “Vroomnik” mean, anyway? Come join Tony Whitt, Alyson Fitch-Safreed, Dalton Hughes, and special guest Jason
What is the mystery of Ravalox? Is there really any Sixth Doctor and Peri slash fiction out there? And why are some car owners such a**holes? Join Tony Whitt, Alyson Fitch-Safreed, and Dalton Hughes as they discuss Terrance Dicks’ novelizatio
Is Kemel the most racist character created for the classic series? Did the Second Doctor really commit genocide? And did we really need a novelization of the “missing adventure” between THE WHEEL IN SPACE and THE DOMINATORS? Join Tony Whitt, A
What does Frazer Hines remember most about EVIL OF THE DALEKS? What convinced him to write his own version of it? And what did Sonny Caldinez do to get so…big? Come listen to Tony Whitt interviewing Hines about all of this and more in this sp
The year wouldn’t be complete without our light and calorie-free (not to mention mostly content-free) Holiday Special, and what better way to celebrate than to pull apart four books that we won’t even be covering on this show for another couple
Saward’s not done with the show at this point yet, but we’re done with Saward, and it’s about…well, mostly about Douglas Adams, to be honest. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Saward was being really bloody sincere. Join To
The Ice Warriors are back, and it’s about…well, ice, really. And a virus that kills off men. And a female-dominated society trying to fight a male-dominated one. And the Doctor’s bully from school. And Sil. AND… You get the idea. Join Tony Whi
It's THE ULTIMATE EVIL! …but enough about the election. Now that certain lunatics are back in the White House, do we go back to calling him DWARF Mordant, or does the fact that we care make us snowflakes? And while we’re at it, would this sto
In some alternate universe, the BBC had complete confidence in Colin Baker; Season 23 was produced and premiered right on schedule; and Graham Williams wrote the first of what would be a long line of excellent scripts for the show he once produ
Last time Eric Saward squared off against the New Zealand Doctor Who Fan Club, it didn’t go so well for him. What about this time? Has Saward learned from the excesses that laid RESURRECTION so low? Has the NZDWFC provided us a better read ye
Some fans have called this story cursed, and after losing two-thirds of our first attempt to record this episode and then having to remount it three weeks later, we agree! (Is this what it felt like to make SHADA? They both have Denis Carey in
You’re listening to your favorite podcast (ha!), and they decide to cover SEARCH FOR THE DOCTOR by Dave Martin, one of the FIND YOUR FATE books featuring the Sixth Doctor. If you decide to stick around and here what Tony Whitt and Dalton Hughe
Name me another podcast where such varied subjects as Season 6B, the morality of vegetarianism, the inherent racism of DOCTOR WHO, and the relative sexual attractiveness of Patrick Troughton come up in the same discussion. I dare you. Come jo
For this synopsis, I tried to come up with jokes about the Master hanging around in a field waiting for the Doctor or the Rani giving one of her victims a woody, but I just couldn’t be bothered. Come join Tony Whitt, Alyson Fitch-Safreed, and
What exactly is the literary equivalent of a video nasty? And does the novelization of VENGEANCE ON VAROS really fit the bill, or is it more of a political satire in the vein of 1984 – or maybe both? Come join Tony Whitt, Alyson Fitch-Safreed,
Cybermen, Cryons, and cops – oh my! Add to all of that enough fanwank that the story should come with its own box of Kleenex, and you’ve got a recipe for a bad novelization. So how is it so good – and how did it come from Eric Saward? Again?!
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Eric Saward’s books are a bit…much. So what is a band of jaded reviewers to do when Saward takes a turd like THE TWIN DILEMMA and polishes it until it’s…well, less of a turd? Come join Tony Whitt, A
It’s considered not only one of the best but THE best story of the classic series. But can even Terrance Dicks translate the greatness that is THE CAVES OF ANDROZANI to the printed page? Come join Tony Whitt, Alyson Fitch-Safreed, and Dalton
What do you think happened to Turlough and his brother Malcon went they went back to Trion after the events of PLANET OF FIRE? Well, whatever you guessed, you’re likely to be wrong – especially if you said anything at all about Malcon. Come j
While we could have done an entire episode full of jokes about how the producer, the writer, and two stars in this story were “flamers,” we didn’t. (Besides, our host has no room to talk.) Instead, we came to have a short discussion and ended u
Eric Saward’s novelization of his 1984 was almost 40 years in the making. Was it worth the wait? …Seriously, we’re asking. Oh, and we read a much better version by Paul Scoones, too. Come join Tony Whitt, Dalton Hughes, and Danny Celedon for a
