This week we extend a warm Doctor Who Literature to author Nigel Robinson, who penned this week's Doctor Who novelization, an adaptation of the infamous -- but also wonderful -- 1967 Patrick Troughton adventure, The Underwater Menace. Nigel also walks us through the rest of his prolific career as a writer and editor, as we cover almost 60 years of fandom in just under 60 minutes. Thanks so much to Nigel Robinson for his time in the recording of this episode. This week's opening number was recorded by Jim Sangster.

Welcome to the beginning of the end of Doctor Who Literature. It's May 1988, and the paperback release of the first of the 12 Sylvester McCoy-era Doctor Who novelizations by Target Books. The Target run had a finite lifespan, and from here on out, with the last Classic Series Doctor finally joining the Target stable, the end is in sight. We will have two guests for each of the Sylvester McCoy books. First up this week is Jim Sangster, who is now officially co-host of the show and the producer of our YouTube channel and video content. Jim has a new song for us this week. We also have an archival interview with Joe Ford from July 2021 extolling the virtues of Time and the Rani, from Jason's first attempt at a podcast, unreleased after all this time until now. Please purchase Andrew Cartmel's Script Doctor from Ten Acre Films. "16 Going on 17" comes from The Sound of Music. Doctor Who Literature expressly refutes Rolfe's political affiliation. As does Family Guy. The history of the Topps 1980 baseball card set is here. If you enjoyed this episode, please follow, subscribe, and rate us!

Welcome to Part One of our intermittent ongoing look at The Trial of a Time Lord, a single 14-part Doctor Who serial that comprised the whole of Season 23, televised between September and December 1986, but broken up into four separate novelizations. Confusingly released out of order and non-consecutively. Jim Sangster, Doctor Who Literature's multi-talented co-producer, logo designer, and in-house band, adapted and performed this week's introductory number, appeared as a talking head on the Trial of a Time Lord DVDs (recorded 16 years prior to the production of this episode), and is this week's guest. We'll about about Liverpool and its many connections to Doctor Who, and speculate just when does Trial take place relevant to the Sixth Doctor's own timeline?

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.

Jim Sangster rejoins me this week -- this time in the interviewer's seat -- as we continue our deep dive into The Gunfighters. Why was a particular 1983 Doctor Who hardcover reference book so hard on the story? Did the story effectively kill the historical genre in '60s Who? Was this the lowest-rated story of all time? Is the inclusion of the ballad a betrayal of the Western genre? Jim and I both love this story to bits. Which is why we spent two weeks on it and not just one. Sampled or narrated this week: --The final pitch of Game 6 of the 1975 World Series. --The theme to US TV's The Life & Legend of Wyatt Earp. --Frankie Laine sings the theme to Gunfight at O.K. Corral. --The theme to Gerry Anderson's Four Feather Falls. --The Doctor Who discussion in U.S. sportswriter Allen Barra's now out-of-print Inventing Wyatt Earp. In short, Jim and I had a delightful two weeks in Tombstone. Next week a new guest and I will be off to Atlantis... will that be as much fun?

Jason loves The Gunfighters. Unreservedly and without irony. It ranked as #13 on his Top 60 of-all-time Doctor Who stories as announced in November 2023. So this episode about the novelization needs to be big, epic, as widescreen as Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas (and Deforest Kelley!) in John Sturges' Gunfight at the OK Corral. This week, Jim Sangster and I focus primarily on the behind-the-scenes production chaos behind the making of Doctor Who's third production season, which informs a lot about why Gunfighters is one of the show's last pure historicals. Jason also touches briefly on the context of the novelization, and then next week, both Jim and I are back for more rootin' tootin' Gunfighters.

After taking a month to observe Doctor Who's 60th anniversary with a wide range of guest interviews, we're back -- like RTD back with David Tennant and Catherine Tate to ring in the TV show's newest era -- to look at the Target novelizations, picking up with the July 1985 paperback release of The Mind of Evil. Jim Sangster (@Monster_Maker), who brings so much behind-the-scenes value to this show, joins me on the air to discuss Mind. And some history facts about The Tyburn Tree. This interview was also recorded on Halloween, so join us as we discuss our favorite scary movies. But how is Jim with his Doctor Who quotations? The answer might surprise you...

The novelization of Snakedance is published the month after the novelization of Kinda, so it fell to Terrance Dicks to adapt both Doctor Who Mara stories from the small screen to the printed page. Terrance doesn't have all that much to add to Christopher Bailey's complex themes and explorations of the dark sides of human nature... but we have plenty to add to the discussion. Joining me this week is Jim Sangster (@Monster_Maker). Jim also contributed our show logo, and this week's celebrity voice impression sketch. Along the way, we'll talk about the great Hollywood movies, EuroVision and Top of the Pops, Nellie Bly, and... well, many other topics. Superman: The Movie can be purchased or streamed on Amazon, while My Dinner With Andre can be watched free on YouTube. You can hear the voices of H.G. Wells and Walt Whitman on YouTube, and also watch the entirety of the January 1973 Foreman v. Frazier heavyweight title fight.

Earthshock was a signal moment in the journey of many Doctor Who fans when it aired in March 1982, from the surprise reveal of a returning monster, to the unexpected departure of a regular cast member. Ian Marter's August 1983 novelization of the story is a bit different from what we saw on television, but is no less impactful. We're very happy to have with us this week Jon Arnold (@The_Arn) as a first-time Doctor Who Literature guest. Jon can be heard on two other excellent podcasts, the Doctor Who-inspired Strangers in Space (@strangerscast), as well as the football (soccer)-themed @BustingBallsPod. Jon has also written several terrific volumes in Jason's favorite Who non-fiction range, The Black Archives from Observe Books, including a look at a TV story previously examined on this very show, Invasion of the Dinosaurs. And don't forget Jon's contributions to the Silver Archive range; Jon and Jason also discuss TV's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" this week.

We've got a show bursting at the seams this week. We have a new Season 9 Classic Series Blu-ray collection trailer, and it is very emotional. Jason previously discussed this week's book, "Doctor Who and the Horns of Nimon" over on our sister podcast, The Doctor Who Target Book Club Podcast. My guest this week is the great Ross Aitken (@traitken), from such amazing podcasts as Gallifrey's Most Wanted (@GallifreysMWPod). Ross, like Jason, never shies away from strong opinions, and there are some great ones this week. We discuss some Hall of Fame athletes this week as well, and joining the Doctor Who Literature guest reading Hall of Fame is the one and only Jim Sangster (@monster_maker). Ross and Jason briefly discuss the game that broke Jason's heart when Jason was just days old, Game 7 of the 1973 World Series. We have very different rooting interests in this game.

Possibly our biggest and boldest episode yet. The great Philip Hinchcliffe is back to discuss his third and (sadly) final Doctor Who novelization; August 1980's "The Keys of Marinus". Always an honor to speak to Philip, who had not read this book in decades and gained a new perspective on the text. And Jim Sangster (@Monster_Maker) is back to discuss "Marinus" in both TV and book incarnations and why "Marinus" is so important to 21st-century "Doctor Who"... as well as Jim's prolific creative work and DW content, Bette Davis, limericks, and the long-awaited return of everyone's favorite game, "Guess That Cliffhanger". The Bette Davis/George Colouris interview may be found in its entirety here. The "Blake's 7" anthology for which Jim provided illustrations may be found and purchased here.

On the one hundredth and fifth edition of Reality Bomb, we're getting excited about the arrival of Millie Gibson as the new companion Ruby Sunday as we talk to Jim Sangster and Julie Chaston about what Gibson might bring to the role and how her three years on Coronation Street might prove to be an advantage. Also Graham Kibble-White has an audio essay on Doctor Who's diamond logo and why it's caught the fancy of so many Doctor Who fans over the years. And writer Nev Fountain is taking us on a trip to Lanzarote, or is that Sarn, as Peter Davison's 1984 penultimate adventure Planet of Fire is in the Gallery of the Underrated. Plus a fan reminisces about where they were when Millie Gibson was cast!

Jason pauses the read-through in between the 1977 and 1978 books, and gives the episode over to Jim Sangster, a long-time Doctor Who fan who you know from pretty much everywhere, but most recently from his pandemic-inspired read-through of the Target novelizations in publication order (does that project sound familiar?), the wonderful Escape to Danger blog. You can also find Jim on Twitter and I highly recommend his Target-inspired Redbubble shop. We also have listener mail; Jason is left completely speechless by some of Jim's stories; and Jason digresses to discuss his all-time favorite Albert Brooks movie. We will be back next week and will embark for the next few months on our journey, this time through the 1978 and 1979 books. Please e-mail the pod at DrWhoLiterature@gmail.com.

On the one-hundred-and-first edition of Reality Bomb, we're triaging the plethora of behind-the-scenes speculation as Graeme Burk brings together Lacy Baugher-Milas and KatyBeth Schmid for super-sized version of "Is This Rumour Hot or Not?". Also, what would a Doctor Who expanded universe on TV look like in the 2020s? Joy Piedmont talks to Martin Belam and Sage Young about what goes in the theme park, figuratively and literally. And we pay tribute to the amazingly talented Bernard Cribbins with Nick Abadzis and Jim Sangster. Plus listeners' letters and... Did you know there's going to be a Doctor finale this autumn? No we didn't know either...

We're not committing ourselves to this as a title - but you know what we mean. It's the cavemen episodes bereft of their history making opening instalment that have been chosen by monster maker Jim Sangster and he and your host Toby Hadoke find a lot of similarities about their favourite things presented by these oft neglected instalments. Orb be praised.

On the ninety-second edition of Reality Bomb, we're talking about Russell T Davies' return to showrunning Doctor Who, what that means and the challenges ahead, with Evan Teng, Head Over Feels' Kim Rogers and Guardian writer Martin Belam. We travel back to 2003 to talk about the original announcement that Russell was coming to Doctor Who with Lisa Gledhill, Jim Sangster and Nick Abadzis. And KatyBeth Schmid plans to break into the Gallery of the Underrated with Time Heist. Plus a conversation with one's self from 2010!

This series has already provided a Too Much Information about The Forest of Fear and now it gets the Happy Times and Places treatment too. We've never been so verdant! But getting all excited about the early days of Doctor Who is easily done. But will special guest Jim Sangster and your host Toby Hadoke agree on the episode's high point, or will Jim try to murder Toby with a stone as he lies wounded...?

See how we neatly avoided giving a story title then? It's hard enough deciding what to call the first story (your host Toby Hadoke is an An Unearthly Child man himself, but he's no dictator) but what about if you strip it of its iconic opening instalment? Because that is what monster maker Jim Sangster, this edition's special guest, has done. He's chosen the first story, but the caveman episodes only - in order that the oft overlooked squabble about fire might ignite fresh passions in us all. But will he and your host be fanning the same flames or will they be left with a chill in the air?
