With a new non-fiction Doctor Who book on the horizon, this time looking at the creation of Doctor Who back in 1963, Rob sits down for the third time in the life of the podcast with friend of the show and the book's author, Paul Hayes. Pull To Open: 1962–1963: The Inside Story of How the BBC Created and Launched Doctor Who is available from Ten Acre Films on July 24, 2023. = = = ‘Fresh and compelling… As definitive an account of those early years as I have read' Toby Hadoke When Doctor Who began on Saturday November 23 1963, few could have guessed that it marked the start of perhaps the most extraordinary story in the history of BBC television drama. But there had already been another story, equally extraordinary yet unseen, leading up to the transmission of that opening episode – the creation of the series itself. Pull to Open explores the behind-the-scenes saga of Doctor Who in 1963, when a chain of events at the BBC brought together a disparate group to launch what would become one of British TV's best-loved and most successful programmes. It's the story of why these events happened; the BBC creative culture into which Doctor Who was born; how television drama was made in the early 1960s; and an insight into the people who started this epic journey. Drawing from the BBC's written archives and new interviews with some of those who were there, including Doctor Who's first director Waris Hussein and original co-star Carole Ann Ford, Pull to Open is a detailed and comprehensive account of the programme's path to the screen. Immerse yourself in the world of BBC Television in 1963 and discover how a series which was almost cancelled before a single episode was shown survived to cement its place in the popular culture of a nation. Foreword by Toby Hadoke

Straight Outta Gallifrey made sure to go back, or forward, or sideways...I lose track sometimes, to revisit the Susan Foreman stories.  Is she a Time Lady?  Ashford is unsure.  Siskoid is convinced that she is.  No matter.  Covering these stories featuring the lovely Carole Ann Ford has been such a delight.   Listen as Ashford, Siskoid, and Joe Dredd discuss the Dalek Invasion of Earth!

We bring our year of companions to a close by returning to the very first one, Susan. (Though apparently that distinction is up for debate, as is anything and everything in Doctor Who!) Join Deb, Erika, and Liz as we talk about Susan's tenure on the show and her place in the pantheon of companions. Does she reverberate throughout the history of the show? Or is she an outlier? It's a fun discussion! Then Deb interviews Carole Ann Ford herself at LI Who. Listen in as they chat about Susan from the perspective of the woman who brought her to life! What do you think of Susan?

Christian Cawley and Brian A. Terranova are James-less this week as they chew the eye snot over Sleep No More, #DoctorWho Series 9's ninth episode (already?! Yes).
