The Power of 3 has hit the road once again. Dave and Kenny made the trip down the M74/M6 to Manchester, for John Nathan-Turner Day, which was held at the Anthony Burgess Institute. They discuss Me and Him and Who, Stephen Wyatt's play about JNT and his partner Gary Downie, and speak with producer Gareth Kavanagh about it, as well as Stephen, actor Richard Unwin who plays JNT, and JNT's biographer Richard Marson. We also get the thoughts of Blue Peter's 42nd presenter Abby Cook - a Doctor Who fan, who just happens to come from Scotland!

Disney+ will be distributing Doctor Who in territories beyond the UK and Ireland from 2023. Host Christian Cawley mulls over this news, along with speculating on just who is starring in the three specials in 2023 - surely they can't all feature David Tennant...?

We're just one week away from The Power of the Doctor in which Jodie Whittaker's Doctor leaves our screens and Chris Chibnall's time as Doctor Who showrunner comes to an end. However you feel about this, it cannot be denied that it has been an interesting few years. With this in mind, and with a look at the episode's first trailer (which includes a look at Sophie Aldred and Janet Fielding returning as Ace and Tegan), we consider what might be in store and how we feel about the past four years of Doctor Who. Joining Christian Cawley and James McLean this week is Gareth Kavanagh!

Our podcast this week welcomes back Gareth Kavanagh for a longer chat, mainly about Cutaway Comics' latest projects, selling issues in the basement at Gallifrey One, and taking a trip to Aldbourne in honour of 1972 Doctor Who serial The Daemons. Gareth joins Christian Cawley and James McLean in a wide ranging conversation that takes in Brian Blessed, Eric Saward, retro gaming, and much more.

This week's show is a bit shorter than usual, to let you find out what we think about the Hugh Grant Doctor Who rumour, and have some fun with some possible spin-off ideas. In case you had forgotten, Hugh Grant was approached to lead Doctor Who way back before Christopher Eccleston was cast. He had also appeared in Steven Moffat's Comic Relief special The Curse of Fatal Death as the final male incarnation of the Doctor. To discuss Hugh Grant's Doctor Who potential, Gareth Kavanagh joins Christian Cawley and James McLean, with a few ideas of his own. There is also some Mandalorian and Book of Fett talk, for the sensitive among you.

How does Doctor Who: Flux hold together as a series? Now the dust has cleared, we take a look at the evidence, as well as recall the impact on Doctor Who of two well-regarded recent departures from this world. Prepare yourselves for a cavalcade of Doctor Who discussion with Christian Cawley, James McLean, and Gareth Kavanagh, as they cover everything from Flux, RTD2, and the Netflix problem to Bob Baker, Chris Achilleos, and beyond...

This week Christian Cawley chats with Cutaway Comics' Gareth Kavanagh about Lytton, Omega, Brian Blessed, and accidentally discovering crowdfunding. Doctor Who fandom has been gifted with rare treats over the years, from comics and novels to audiobooks, audio plays, and independent movies. Anyone engaged with Doctor Who is aware of at least one of these alternate spins on the so-called "Whoniverse" but such productions are often limited by licenses. After all, the BBC owns Doctor Who. But, the corporation does not own the characters created by non-BBC writers who worked on the classic series. That's where Cutaway Comics comes in.  In this week's show, Gareth Kavanagh tells us all about Cutaway Comics, its early success with the Eric Saward-approved Lytton, the development of Omega, and just how he got Brian Blessed involved to record the audio adaptation which was fulfilled thanks to support on Kickstarter.

In another bonus episode of Doctor Who: Too Hot For TV, Dylan talks to Gareth Kavanagh of Cutaway Comics. They discuss Gareths personal history with the show, Vworp Vworp Magazine, the brand new Lytton comic and some exciting forthcoming projects from Cutaway Comics.  

Cutaway Comics has a Kickstarter going for their premiere title Lytton, written by Eric Saward and based on the character from Doctor Who. Gareth Kavanagh joins us to discuss the creation of Lytton, as well as his excellent Doctor Who comic magazine Vworp Vworp!

What? What?! WHAT?! So we're midway through Doctor Who Series 12 and we've just been given a curveball the like of which has never been seen in the show. Judoon, the return of Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman), a buried TARDIS, a fugitive hiding on earth, a new incarnation of the Doctor... and more mystery about Gallifrey.  Standard episodes just don't do that, do they? But who was watching beyond the legion of Doctor Who fans? Sunday night, a perennial TV favorite on the other side... it takes a massive star to combat a show like Dancing on Ice. So it is with a certain amount of excitement and trepidation that Christian Cawley, James McLean, and Gareth Kavanagh got together this week to discuss Fugitive of the Judoon... Shownotes Facebook discussion of Fugitive of the Judoon (https://www.facebook.com/podkasterborous/posts/2756863531056812) John Barrowman's fake house renovation (https://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2020-01-26/john-barrowman-fake-renovation-doctor-who/)

Doctor Who is back with a bang and a twist with Skyfall, the first episode of a two part story kicking off Series 12. Christian Cawley and Gareth Kavanagh mull it over, with a bit of help from... you!

The summer is over and we're back! Gareth Kavanagh and Christian Cawley recall the great Terrance Dicks who sadly died on August 29th, 2019, aged 84. Considering his various Doctor Who highs and lows, we also recall our own encounters with the Great Oak of Doctor Who.

Christian Cawley, James McLean, and Gareth Kavanagh take a look through the space-time visualizer at Doctor Who movies that were never made. Listen in for our thoughts on: The Chase/Keys of Marinus Doctor Who Meets Scratchman Doctor Who and the Krikkitmen Paramount's Michael Jackson-starring Doctor Who movie Last of the Time Lords David Yates' "weird fantasy" Sony leak movie plans And, as seems to be the regular pattern these days, some thoughts about where Doctor Who as we now know it can go next. Could an MCU-style cinematic Doctor Who-verse be the future? Shownotes: Doctor Who movies that were never made (https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/a25410120/doctor-who-movie-scrapped-failed-attempts/)

Christian Cawley chats to Gareth Kavanagh about recent Room 5064 productions, including the Edinburgh Fringe run of We Apologise for the Inconvenience, a play by Mark Griffiths about Douglas Adams' famous writer's block. Episode 31 Shownotes: Room 5064 on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/5064productions/) Tickets for "We Apologise for the Inconvenience" at the Edinburgh Fringe (https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/we-apologise-for-the-inconvenience)

Remember the time the Doctor met the crew of Star Trek's Enterprise? Does Doctor Who occur in the same universe as Blake's 7? What about Marvel UK's soon-to-be resurrected Death's Head, and his contract on the Doctor? Join Christian Cawley, Gareth Kavanagh, and James McLean as they navigate the wondrous worlds of Doctor Who crossovers, imagined and real!

Incredibly, in over 350 podcasts, we haven't spent any time talking in depth about former Doctor Who script editor Eric Saward.  Well, it's time to make amends! Gareth Kavanagh is back with Christian Cawley and James McLean to discuss the 1982-1986 era of Doctor Who. Listen out for mention of a Saward-penned graphic novel currently in production focusing on Saward's Resurrection of the Daleks and Attack of the Cybermen character Lytton. **Shownotes** * [The Genesis Machine](https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/2343c486910344598fe069865d4c9bf4) * [PodKast kommentary: Earthshock](http://beyondkasterborous.com/index.php/2016/11/26/adric-dies-the-earthshock-kommentary/)

Happy New Year, Kasterborites! It's time to take apart Resolution, the latest episode of Doctor Who and probably it's only showing in 2019. Join Christian Cawley, Gareth Kavanagh and James McLean as they mull over the episode, highlight their highs and lows, and ask: was Resolution an unwelcome crown to a series that had already ended strongly...?

Christian Cawley, James McLean, and Gareth Kavanagh are back again with another Doctor Who podKast with a K. This week, we address the news from the BBC that Doctor Who Series 12 will not air until 2020. There's also some chat about how the 2005 series was almost a 6 parter, and a review of the Series 11 finale, The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos. **Shownotes** [Doctor Who Series 12 airs in 2020](http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/doctorwho/entries/89823d93-ca6c-486b-9c82-2a71cd1560bb)

How is Doctor Who Series 11 looking to you? It's not perfect, but we're pretty sure The Witchfinders could be the most memorable episode yet, if only for Alan Cumming's audaciously fruity turn as King James I. Christian Cawley, Gareth Kavanagh and James McLean takes turns at the dunking stool to find out who will be burned at the steak for heresy...

Has Doctor Who Series 11 finally hit its stride? Is Bradley Walsh the secret glue to the show? Have we just been waiting for Chris Chibnall to hand over the writing to others? Join Christian Cawley, James McLean and Gareth Kavanagh to find out more as they get down to the nitty-gritty of Demons of the Punjab! PLUS: Some chat about AI figures since 2005...

In the early 1980s, home video hit the UK, giving anyone who could afford to rent a giant video player the chance to watch movies from the comfort of their own home, regardless of what was on TV. Remember your video rental store, and the video player in the living room? Those stunning video release posters, or the enticing covers of the seedier, cheaper releases? Recall the first video you watched, or the last one you bought? Christian Cawley, James McLean, and Gareth Kavanagh do, and they're here to discuss the golden age of home video. **Shownotes** * Blank VHS cassettes photo on Twitter * [Starchaser: The Legend of Orin](https://amzn.to/2txqMoc) * [British TV ads from the 1980s and 90s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJC_oQ5cyc4) * [Most 1980s advert ever](https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=805&v=y3me0JOqMAo) * First coining of Larry Grayson's famous catchphrase "[Shut that door](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Grayson)" * [Star Wars Audio adaptation](https://amzn.to/2yG4IO4) * [How to Clean a Moldy VHS Cassette](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVq0o2CzVKI) * [HMV's 2018 VHS range](http://www.purplerevolver.com/movies/movie-news/127451-vhs-range-launched-by-hmv%2C-including-top-gun%2C-scarface-and-more-.html) * [C64 VHS backup](http://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=61209&sid=78ef785cf8afe18259e6b3d38cc36152) * [Codemasters Audio CD of C64 games](http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Codemasters_CD) Featured image By 100yen [GFDL (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html) or CC BY-SA 3.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)], from Wikimedia Commons

As an adjunct to our recent look at the best Dalek stories of each era of Doctor Who, Gareth Kavanagh joins us to look at the candidates, and discuss some of his favorite Dalek adventures, and move the conversation towards the most recent. What went wrong with The Magician's Apprentice/The Witch's Familiar? Listen out also for definitive decisions from James and Christian on their all-time favourite Dalek stories.

Just imagine. Perhaps out of admiration for the Dear Leader, or in some bizarre timeline, The Absolute Boy has been cast as the Doctor himself. That's the background for this special podkast with a K, in which Christian Cawley and a recently woke* Gareth Kavanagh discuss how a Corbyn-centric edition of Doctor Who Magazine might read. Who might be Corbyn's favorite Doctor? Wouldn't he feel more at home in "Manhole Monthly"?

It's a simple premise: would the Tenth Doctor work in the Fourth Doctor's stories? Or vice versa? Could you reasonably swap the Third and First Doctors over? And just who could stand in for the Fifth? Working it out (and perhaps wishing they hadn't started the conversation in the first place) are Christian Cawley and Gareth Kavanagh… Shownotes Day of the Daleks' Aubrey Woods in [Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcpDdWIaAuE)  Russell T Davies, Steven Moffat, Jenny Colgan and Anthony Dry [book signing at Forbidden Planet](https://forbiddenplanet.com/events/2018/04/13/doctor-who-target-books-event/)

You asked for it, so here it is: James McLean and Gareth Kavanagh discuss the various events of the 2017 #DoctorWho Christmas special, Twice Upon a Time, in which the Twelfth Doctor breathes his last. Was there too much David Bradley? Not enough Jodie Whittaker? Couldn't Gatiss' character have been someone else entirely, for the sake of creating a bigger universe? And did _she_ really have to come back? It's time to sit back and find out what we thought, as we said goodbye to Peter Capaldi… and hello to Jodie Whittaker as the thirteenth Doctor Who!

Star Wars, Blade Runner, Alien, Terminator -- all movies with special editions, directors' cuts, and reboot/sequel/prequel continuations that fundamentally alter the original stories. What's it all about? Are these franchises irreparably damaged by the changes? Do fans have the last word on what is canon, or the creator? James McLean and Gareth Kavanagh discuss.

Christian Cawley chats with Gareth Kavanagh in the latest BeyondKasterborous podcast, focusing on the career of Douglas Adams, taking in Monty Python, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (books, audio, TV, and cinema), a brief mention of Doctor Who, The Meaning of Liff, and even Hyperland. All of this nice leads to details from Gareth of his latest independent Room 5064 theatre production, We Apologise for the Inconvenience, which tells the story of Douglas Adams attempting to overcome writer's block...

Or the feeling of putting too much money into a machine and having to leave credits behind? We do. All of this, and more. This week's Coaxial is a fond memory, a look back at the halcyon days of the British arcades, a feast of (now) retro gaming, sticky carpets, and broken joysticks. Join Christian Cawley and Gareth Kavanagh for their reminiscences of visiting arcades in the 1980s, 90s, and now. Image credit: Sam Howzit [https://flic.kr/p/8tzAuG]

Christian Cawley and Gareth Kavanagh look back at the halcyon days of Teletext, and 8-bit computers in homes and schools in the 1980s in this latest Coaxial. There's even some talk of 16-bit classics like the Amiga and the Atari ST -- a must for fans of retro computing, and the 1980s and 90s!

Christian Cawley and Gareth Kavanagh join in the 13th Doctor speculation, throwing a number of interesting names into the mix. Could it be Luke Treadaway? Game of Thrones' Richard Madden? Or is it Kris Marshall? And is the Phoebe Waller-Bridge story just non-story clickbait? We also find out what Gareth though of Doctor Who Series 10, and his take on the death of Saturday night TV on BBC1...

We're back! Christian Cawley and Gareth Kavanagh reconvene to discuss the halcyon days of BBC Television Centre, recalling Gareth's trips to the famous "concrete doughnut".

James McLean and Gareth Kavanagh take an in-depth look at Dino De Laurentiis' memorable 1980 movie Flash Gordon in this brand new BeyondKasterborous podcast. Considering the quality of the actors, the relationship between the movie and its forebears, and the soundtrack -- not to mention some contentious issues with the direction and post-production -- you've probably already hit play. If not, you're surely bored, and should consider destroying a planet...

Later than planned, it's time to take a look at Thin Ice, the third episode in #DoctorWho Series 10. This week's #podcast has an unusual format, which has been brought about by technical issues. In short, our original podcast failed to record, so we've put together a sort of vox pops show, with contributions from Brian Terranova, James McLean, James Lomond, and Gareth Kavanagh.

Tune into the Coaxial podcast every three weeks to join Gareth and Christian as they discuss the current state of TV, and cast their minds back for some whimsical TV-related memories from childhood.

Welcome back to another Coaxial, with Christian Cawley and Gareth Kavanagh. In this week's show, we're chatting classic British children's TV, and may or may not have covered most of the following...

Gareth Kavanagh and Christian Cawley discuss the sad passing of legendary comics artist Steve Dillon, recalling a meeting with the great man... Dillon worked on a range of titles, from #DoctorWho and #2000ad through to #Preacher, now a TV show.

Welcome to the second Coaxial podcast, with Gareth Kavanagh and Christian Cawley. This week, we chat about the changing faces and fortunes of ITV's pair of premium soap operas, Coronation Street and Emmerdale (Farm). Are the glory days of both soaps now long-since past? Has Emmerdale found itself accidentally socially relevant simply by being set in the countryside? And do the toilets in the Rovers Return really lead into Ken Barlow's sitting room?

Welcome to the first of our regular Coaxial podcasts, in which Gareth Kavanagh joins Christian Cawley to chat about television. To open the run, we're looking at the BBC's recent classic Sitcom Season, in which several situation comedies from days gone by were updated in various ways, from an impressive lick of paint to a complete clone of the original...

We're changing things around in this week's podKast with a K, in which Christian Cawley talks to Gareth Kavanagh about #DoctorWho retro video games, Vworp Vworp! issue 3 and the forthcoming Starburst International Film Festival, which runs in Manchester on 26th-28th August 2016, at £25 a ticket and just £40 for a family pass on the Saturday. Look out also for mentions of Puff Daddy, Snoop Dogg, Davros and the Deep Space Deviants, the Mr Men, Bagpuss and even The Clangers...

Wow. This is a packed podKast, in which we talk about whether the BBC should show compiled, movie-length #DoctorWho specials while the show is off air. PLUS we talk Spider-Verse and Gareth Kavanagh joins us to talk about the forthcoming Starburst International Film Festival.

Gareth Kavanagh joins Christian Cawley to talk about the latest issue of #DoctorWho Magazine, which celebrates the publication's 500th standard edition (not to mention countless specials!). Meanwhile, James and Brian reflect upon their recent Kommentary, Delta and the Bannermen.

Lots to talk about in this week's #Doctor Who podKast, in which Christian Cawley and Gareth Kavanagh talk comics, Dream Lords, villains, #Marvel movies and Gareth's upcoming events, including A Morning with Louise Jameson on July 2nd, and the Starburst International Film Festival on 26th-28th of August.

We'll be honest, our thoughts on comic strip The World Shapers don't dominate this week's #DoctorWho podKast, which veers this way and that with topical chat (including the strange slowness in the media's reaction to Gareth Thomas' passing) and an interview with Gareth Kavanagh about the forthcoming Audience with Bob Baker at Manchester's Fab Cafe (http://www.wegottickets.com/event/352929) Your hosts this week are James McLean, and Christian Cawley.

We're bringing you a mammoth 2 hour Doctor Who commentary podKast this week as Christian Cawley, Brian A Terranova, James McLean, and Gareth Kavanagh look back at the serial that closed Season 18 and Tom Baker's seven year tenure in Doctor Who, Logopolis! Did the team enjoy it? Perhaps it's not the classic they thought it was? Cue up your DVD, and hit play at the same time as the podKast team to enjoy a whole new commentary for Logopolis!

Have too many adverts crippled our erstwhile home, Kasterborous.com? With the news that the once "Mighty K" is losing another pair of editors - and perhaps the entire writing team - Christian Cawley and James McLean mull over the recent events, complete with a Star Trek-style analogy. Thanks, Jim... PLUS! Gareth Kavanagh teases the third issue of seminal #DoctorWho fanzine Vworp Vworp!, which is extremely likely to be completed and released during 2016!

Episodes 3 and 4 of the four-part 1979 adventure The Horns of Nimon get the kommenatary treatment this week. James McLean, Brian Terranova and Gareth Kavanagh await your company, so cue your DVD, and hit play...

So, that was an odd week. In the midst of some conscious uncoupling from Kasterborous, James McLean and Brian Terranova embark on a discussion of Doctor Who Series 9, episode 3: Under the Lake. Considering elements like direction, theme, and even whether the episode should have a different name, James and Brian also spend a few moments trying to get their heads around Class, the new Doctor Who spinoff that nobody was calling out for... Look out for cameos from Christian Cawley and Gareth Kavanagh.

Gareth Kavanagh joins Christian Cawley for this week's #DoctorWho podKast, discussing everything from #MissionDALEK to the differences between MP3 and FLAC. But on the way, they stop off and spend some time chatting about the current state of the omnirumour, the rather optimistic collection of rumours concerning the discovery (or otherwise) of some (or all) of Doctor Who's missing episodes. Watch out also for a brief chat about the Doctor Who Series 9 revelations, the Dad's Army trailer and the Lethbridge-Stewart series' revised schedule.

Comic-Con might be the jewel in the crown of the international convention scene, but we're more fond of smaller, intimate events. As such, we've invited Gareth Kavanagh, the man behind the #DoctorWho Vworp events (and acclaimed Vworp Vworp! fanzine) and more recent offerings such as An Evening with Waris Hussein and An Afternoon with Terrance Dicks to explain to us just how he produces these friendly, relaxed mini-cons. Gareth also joins Christian Cawley in discussing various news items and tangental nonsense. Click play to listen!

Wow. After last week's "low-key" podKast with Christian Cawley and James McLean, this week we bring in Gareth Kavanagh and the conversation swings and turns from Doctor Who video games and New Adventures to other podcasts, past podKasts, and Philip Martin's upcoming East of Heysham, which Gareth is producing. All in all this is an eclectic podKast, which also includes an update on Vworp Vworp! issue 3. 

We've brought you a lot of features recently about one-time communist Malcolm Hulke, the classic #DoctorWho scriptwriter whose career was the subject of a pamphlet, 'Doctor Who and the Communist', and an event, "An Afternoon with Terrance Dicks". Well, this is the last portion. The podKast team takes a break this week so that you can listen to Gareth Kavanagh (occasional podKast guest, spiritual co-host and 'Vworp Vworp!' editor) interview the great Uncle Terrance about his friend and colleague Malcolm Hulke. Without Hulke, Terrance would never have been Doctor Who scriptwriter, then editor, then novelist. He has a lot to say about the man, as you might expect. The full podKast team will be back next week (we expect!) but until then, make yourself a drink, click play and close your eyes and feel the full atmosphere of Terrance Dicks' chat about his friend and colleague Malcolm Hulke.

It's podKast time! This week we again relied on Google Hangouts for our weekly discussion of all things #DoctorWho, with guest Gareth Kavanagh, editor of the amazing Vworp Vworp! fanzine and producer of various Doctor Who flavoured productions in Manchester. Gareth joins usual hosts Christian Cawley and Brian A Terranova to talk Lego Doctor Who, whether Jenna Coleman is staying or going, and offer some very interesting recommendations.

Kasterborous #DoctorWho podKastWe've a special guest on this week's Doctor Who podKast in the shape of Gareth Kavanagh, who joins us for a full hour (and the rest) of news discussion and fanzine sparring. As well as covering Steven Moffat's recent comments at the Hay Festival, Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian Terranova also quiz Gareth on this thoughts about the possibility of Doctor Who ending back in 2008, the recent attempt to shift a 16mm film of The Wheel in Space part 3 on eBay and there's even time to have a chat about the amazing Doctor Who/Rocky Horror Show mashup by The Hillywood Show, which if you haven't seen yet should be clicked immediately in the shownotes below. After that, we still managed to squeeze in a little preview about Vworp Vworp! issue 3 (which features an interview with #AlanMoore), which is still in production, and Gareth had some interesting questions for Christian and James about Kasterborous Magazine 2, which is out now. Time to hit play!

In this week's podKast with a "K" we welcome Doctor Who fanzine producer Gareth Kavanagh, editor of Vworp Vworp! as a guest for the full show! Christian Cawley and James McLean are in the hotseat too, with a nice selection of topics under discussion. To kick it off, we mull over the recent Buzzfeed.com list based around the idea of how Doctor Who might have been different had it been created in the USA rather than in Television Centre. Following this, we spend a few moments appreciating the contributions that the late Christopher Barry made to Doctor Who between 1963 (The Daleks) and 1979 (The Creature from the Pit). Given that we have unofficial fourth podKaster Gareth Kavanagh on hand as well, there's also a bit of missing episodes chatter in there for you lucky people as well, not to mention some updates on the progress of Vworp Vworp! issue 3... Rounding off the show (yet taking up a greater chunk of the running time than either of the other topics) are our recommmendations, with 1977 serial Underworld getting the lion's share of the discussion.

Joining me this week for the weekly news and discussion segment is our good friend Raissa, who chat with me about a number of topics, which include our thoughts about 'An Adventure in Space and Time.' Since recording BBC America have announced the premier for the movie as 22 November. Just one day after the UK premier. We also discuss Steven Moffat's proclimation that 12th Doctor Who actor Peter Capaldi as being a national treasure.Our guest this week is Gareth Kavanagh the director of the 'Who At 50' fringe festival, which is taking place in Manchester between the 16 and 30 November. Garath talks about all the exciting events being held to celebrate Doctor Who in Manchester and also talks a little about the recent recovery of 9 Patrick Troughton episodes as well as the casting of Peter Capaldi as the 12th Doctor.So tune in for this very Doctor Who episode of SFP-NOW and keep an eye out for our 50th Anniversary special, which will go out on November 22.

This week's podKast brings a selection of interviews from the recent #doctorwho missing episodes event in London. Thanks to Gareth Kavanagh you can expect to hear from Frazer Hines and Deborah Watling - who both appeared in the recovered episodes of The Enemy of the World and The Web of Fear - and writer Mark Gatiss, who tells us something about an upcoming #Sherlock episode...

Running from July 1st at the Fab Cafe in Manchester is a stage adaptation of Robots of Death, the classic 1977 Doctor Who serial written by Chris Boucher. Behind the production is Gareth Kavanagh, and he makes a special appearance on this week's podKast (with a K) to discuss that and other shows with a Doctor Who theme that are lined up for the summer. We'll have full confirmed details later this week for Robots of Death, it's stage-sequel Storm Mine and an appearance by Philip Martin (Vengeance on Varos) but in the meantime, click play to enjoy!

This week's Kasterborous podKast features a fascinating discussion with Gareth Kavanagh about the second Doctor Who Magazine love-in that is Vworp Vworp! #2! Long-term readers of Kasterborous will recall that the first issue of Vworp Vworp! featured a couple of contributions from this very site, not least in the shape of part 1 of Time Leech, our own Doctor Who comic strip. But Vworp Vworp! was much more than a fanzine with a comic strip in it - rather it was a thing of beauty, with the professional quality design, printing and writing contributing to a pinnacle of fanzine production. In many ways it was like a copy of DWM that is itself about DWM. One of the key characters in the early days of Doctor Who Magazine (back in the Weekly/Monthly days) was Abslom Daak, the insane Dalek killer, and his band of Star Tigers. Daak features heavily in the next issue of Vworp Vworp!, and Gareth Kavanagh tells us a little bit about this and some other features coming up in the magazine. EDITOR'S NOTE: This is an archive podcast, recently rediscovered and uploaded to iTunes. Currently a new version of Vworp Vworp, collecting issues 1 and 2 plus extra features, is available.
