For a story like Four to Doomsday, what else could we do but give you three terrific interviews, with two guests? Up first is Jason Davis (@TheJasonDavis), writer and editor extraordinaire, of TheJasonDavis.com, This interview was recorded live at Gallifrey One in Los Angeles in February 2023, and you already heard the first half of that interview in my Harlan Ellison special. This is the rest of that conversation. Then I was joined on short notice by Matt West (@WingedPodcast) of Q the Winged Podcast and Miwk Publishing (on which Matt gives me a pronunciation lesson). Followed by a return visit from Jason Davis. Between the three of us and the three interviews, he hit just about every corner of science fiction from television to the printed page. You can find some more of Matt's work on the original Pyramids of Mars DVD. And Jason (this podcast's Jason) was most recently on Trap One to discuss the Season 9 Blu-ray Collection. Doctor Who Literature is now a member of the Direction Point Doctor Who podcast network. Please e-mail the pod at DrWhoLiterature@gmail.com.

Following on from last week's episode, in which Kirsty led Stella and Dan on a dive into witchcraft through history, reality and fiction, she's now widening her scope to include other types of paganism. If you only know paganism through what you've seen in horror films, there'll be a lot to learn here - but this discussion also takes time to go in-depth on two of cinema's most notable pagan horrors, Ari Aster's Midsommar (2019) and Robin Hardy's The Wicker Man (1973). It's another bumper-length episode and, hopefully, a fascinating chat. Relevant Links and Availability: Midsommar is available on DVD and Blu-Ray, as part of the Amazon Prime package or for rental streaming via YouTube The Wicker Man is available on DVD and Blu-Ray (in several different versions) and the 'Final Cut' is available for rental streaming via YouTube or Amazon The Ritual (2017) is available on DVD and for rental streaming from Amazon Darklands (1997) doesn't appear to be available anywhere but you can read about it here Apostle (2018) can be streamed on Netflix Kill List (2011) is available on DVD and Blu-Ray, as part of the Amazon Prime package or for rental streaming via Amazon or YouTube The Frightfest website has details of this year's digital festival The Woman in Black (1989) will be exclusively available on Blu-Ray from the Network website from 10th August Hooded Man: Volumes 1 and 2 are available from 1st August from Miwk Publishing (and Seasons 1-3 of Robin of Sherwood are available on DVD and Blu-Ray from Network) Host is available to stream now using an Amazon Prime subscription with a Shudder free trial The BBC/NRK podcast Death in Ice Valley is available to download now Visit our website, www.andnowpodcast.com
We are pleased as punch in this episode of our podcast as we are able to have a conversation with Sue Malden! Sue was named the first BBC Archive Selector back in 1978 and her work revolutionised the way programs have been selected and kept in archives for not only the BBC but the UK and beyond. Our conversation goes a lot into the archive selection process she put together plus we talk about the work she is doing in the field now. Of course we touch on her project she initiated to track down what might have happened to episodes of lost BBC series. She eventually chose DOCTOR WHO but she talks about some of the other series she considered looking into first. It’s a not only a great conversation about archive television but it’s a great conversation about television archiving. We next move onto a quick conversation with BBC South Producer Richard Latto who recently returned an episode of HUGH AND I called “The Girl on the Poster” from 1964. He talks about where the print has been and how this isn’t the first time the film collector who owns this print has helped out the BBC Archives. We talk with Oliver Crocker who wrote “All Memories Great & Small” from Miwk Publishing about the passing of Robert Hardy. He not only shares great memories of interviewing Robert Hardy for his book but also shares some personal audio of the two talking. Finally, we check in with Chris Perry who gives us all the information for the upcoming Kaleidoscope event on 2/9/17 at Birmingham City University. It’s going to be a fantastic event with great guests and rare material. We share all the information!

Colin Baker For the second successive year we are proud to be bringing a Doctor to Whooverville – and it's an old friend of our group and our convention. We are absolutely delighted to be able to announce that COLIN BAKER has agreed to return to Whooverville.Colin, the Sixth Doctor of course, needs no introduction. If you have yet to see him at a convention you are in for a treat. He is a fabulous guest and a genuinely nice guy.He was the main guest at the very first Whooverville, back in 2009 and we are really looking forward to showing him what we have done with our little convention, as well as to asking him about Big Finish, his part in the 50th Anniversary Celebrations, I'm A Celebrity… and so much more. Many thanks to Colin for agreeing to come back and see us again Guests Jenny T. Colgan Jenny published her first novel in 2000 and is one of the UK's most popular romantic novelists, winning the award for Romantic Novel of the Year in 2013 for Welcome to Rosie Hopkins' Sweetshop of Dreams. A life-long Who fan, who once won a competition to meet Peter Davison, Jenny's first Doctor Who novel, Dark Horizons was published in 2012. She is also a contributor to the recently published collection of Who novellas, originally published as e-books, Time Trips. Many thanks to our friends at BBC Books for helping to arrange Jenny's appearance at Whooverville. Richard Marson Richard is the author of two acclaimed biographies of Doctor Who producers. JNT: The Life and Scandalous Times of John Nathan Turner, published in 2013, confounded many people's expectations by being a serious, scholarly and above all sympathetic account of the life of the last producer of classic Doctor Who. He has followed this up his year, with his biography of the series' first producer, Drama and Delight: The Life of Verity Lambert, which is garnering rave reviews. Both books are published by Miwk Publishing, to whom our thanks go for facilitating Richard's appearance at Whooverville. Richard was for many years a contributor to Doctor Who Magazine and was editor of Blue Peter between 1998 and 2007. He also produced the fabulous 2012 documentary, Tales of Television Centre. We very much look forward to meeting him.

In the 1970s he worked with the legendary Hipgnosis, designers of album covers, working with artists such as Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Moody Blues and Peter Gabriel. His painting for the Paul and Linda McCartneyalbum ‘Wings Over America' propelled him into the international arena. of course he is well-known to Who fans as the designer of the covers of a number of Target books. More information on Jeff and his work can be found at Many thanks to Jeff for contacting us, we look forward to meeting him. Karen Louise Hollis Karen is an old friend and a member of our group, who is known for her two books relating her convention experiences Un-Conventional and The Other Side of The Table.

The son of War Machines actor William Mervyn, he has never done a convention before. Many thanks to our friend Tristan Peatfield for making the introductions. Dan Starkey Dan has become the go-to-guy for Sontarans both for televised Doctor Who and for Big Finish audios, since appearing in the 10th Doctor Story The Sontaran Strategem/The Poison Sky. He is probably best known as Commander Strax, a role which he first played in the Eleventh Doctor story A Good Man Goes To War and which he has reprised on several occasions since as part of the Paternoster Gang. After 3 seasons in prosthetics as Randal Moon in Wizards vs. Aliens, Dan finally got his face on-screen as Ian the elf in the Doctor Who Christmas Special Last Christmas, before covering himself in glory as part of the winning team in the Christmas 2014 series of University Challenge. Dan is a long-standing Doctor Who fan, which will make it particularly pleasing to welcome him to Whooverville. Terrance Dicks Terrance Dicks is a very old friend of our group, having twice previously visited us for Friday evening meetings, as well as for one of the 625 Lines events at QUAD that we co-organised. Terrance needs no introduction, he is simply the most important writer ever to contribute to Doctor Who and the biggest influence on the show of the last 40 years. Terrance is a great convention guest, a font of fascinating stories and memories, and a genuinely nice, approachable person. If you haven't met him yet, you are in for a treat. David Benson David Benson is perhaps best know to us as the voice of Panda in the Big Finish Iris Wildthyme audio range, for playing Orson Welles in ‘Invaders from Mars', also for Big Finish and (among others) Aleister Crowley in ‘The Scarifyers'.
