Face aux Daleks pour la première fois depuis la guerre du temps, le Docteur prend une nouvelle dimension. Cette semaine, nous parlons de "Dalek" mais aussi de son scénariste Robert Shearman et des news!

"CHRISTMAS wouldn't be Christmas without my plum pudding!" So Mrs Baddeley tells us throughout The Chimes of Midnight, and now, for many Doctor Who / Big Finish fans, Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without The Chimes of Midnight. This Christmas Eve, we're joined by our friends all over the world, as we celebrate the story regarded by many as the greatest Doctor Who audio story, if not the greatest Doctor Who story of all, in Robert Shearman's tale from 2002.

Aclaimed author Robert Shearman joins us to discuss his long and varied career in writing for theatre, television and books. We dive into his six Big Finish Doctor Who audio adventures, his Sylvester McCoy play, Punchline, and of course, we talk about bringing the Daleks back to television and subsequently writing the novelization of the episode. Thanks so much for chatting with us Rob!

February 2022 sees the 20th anniversary of the release of one of the most popular and loved audio dramas to ever come out of Big Finish Productions, The Chimes of Midnight by Robert Shearman. To celebrate, we are joined by guest Todd Beilby from Australian Doctor Who podcast Flight Through Entirety to discuss and reminisce about the story and what it was like to be involved in fandom through the 90's and during the period that the 8th Doctor and Charley adventures were being released as brand new Doctor Who seasons. We also feature the very first Sirens of Audio quiz with Philip and Todd going head to head to claim the inaugural title. Who will claim victory? Then we feature an interview with three members of the guest cast for The Chimes of Midnight, Lennox Greaves, Sue Wallace and Robert Curbishley. What memories will they have from the recording of this classic episode? Finally, we discuss the new release Doctor Who: Charlotte Pollard, The Further Adventuress and compare this special anniversary release to the classic run. Get out of the scullery, grab some plum pudding and join us in celebrating this incredible story and unforgettable TARDIS team.

This month, Erik and Kyle continue their jaunt into Series 1 of rebooted Doctor Who with the first two stories not written by showrunner Russell T Davies. Those of course are Mark Gatiss' ode to Victorian ghost stories, "The Unquiet Dead," and Robert Shearman's indelible reintroduction of a classic villain, "Dalek." But do they hold up the way our heroes remember? Hmmm.

As an audio finale for Big Bang we present an interview with Robert Shearman, a man of many talents whose stellar writing career spans theatre, television, audio drama, novels and short fiction. We discuss Rob's forthcoming novel, a Doctor Who Target novelisation of 'Dalek', an episode, also written by Rob, that many Whovians will fondly remember from 2005. We also talk about Rob's book We All Hear Stories in the Dark. A titanic triptych weighing in at 3 volumes and nearly 2,000 pages, it is a thing of intricate and labyrinthine beauty, a choose your own adventure which no two readers will ever encounter in the same way.  We reflect on how this epic act of love and grief came to be, the joys of reading, literary adaptation, fan culture, and the pleasures and pains of being a writer.

More Doctor Who Unbound this week with 'Deadline' by Robert Shearman and 'Exile' is by Nicholas Briggs

Just like it says on the tin, we discuss the 50th Anniversary special from Big Finish, Masterful by James Goss. We also discuss the limited edition which includes the specially written story, Terror of the Master, performed by the incredibly talented Jon Culshaw.

No “cocoons” or old people in swimming pools here! A note is left for Fox Mulder at a crime scene in the same style as notes left by a previous suspect Mulder had a hand in arresting. Only that man died in prison in 1989. Or did he? Mulder is convinced the suspect is alive and well, despite a death certificate on file. Scully thinks it might be a copycat or someone hired to do his bidding. Or maybe it’s just aliens… Or both…? Will we ever get the option of both…?

It's our Hallowe'en special ! For this year’s Hallowe’en episode our subject is the Old English poem, Beowulf, composed somewhere in England more than a thousand years ago. The atmospheric tale of supernatural monsters and human heroes has inspired scores of translations over the centuries and we will discuss several, including versions by Seamus Heaney, J.R.R. Tolkien, Michael Morpurgo and the powerful new translation by Maria Dahvana Headley (the 2007 computer-animated film adaptation by Robert Zemeckis and Neil Gaiman also makes an appearance). Andy and John are joined by regular Backlisted Hallowe’en guest Andrew Male, the senior associate editor of MOJO magazine, and Dr Laura Varnam, who first appeared on our last Hallowe’en episode to discuss Daphne Du Maurier’s collection, The Breaking Point. As well as being a Du Maurier expert, Laura is also the Lecturer in Old and Middle English Literature at University College, Oxford and teaches Beowulf to undergraduates. Before that, to put everyone in a suitably spooky mood, we all discuss stories taken from Robert Shearman’s remarkable experiment in storytelling, We All Hear Stories in the Dark.

Things get crunchy with award-winning writer Robert Shearman as we discuss the reason we're lucky we each survived to adulthood, how he almost talked his way out of selling his first short story, the way he starts every story thinking it's funny even as things turn horrific, why some readers find his new collection offensive and others uplifting, how he's following up that three-volume, 2,000-page, 650,000-word, 101-story collection, the way his brush with COVID-19 has affected his writing, and much more.

Ten minutes with... is a special series presented by Coode Street that sees readers and booklovers from around the world talk about what they're reading right now and what's getting them through these difficult times. Today Jonathan sits down to talk with World Fantasy Award-winning writer, poet, and playwright Robert Shearman about the joys and surprises of reading all one hundred and nineteen chapters of The Count of Monte Christo (including the bits with the opera and copious drug-taking); reading Peanuts and especially enjoying the bits before Snoopy becomes a total jerk; dealing with tragedy and grief through fiction; his incredible, quixotic and brilliant new book; and actually surviving in this Great and Terrible Pause. Books mentioned include: We All Hear Stories in the Dark by Robert Shearman The Count of Monte Christo by Alexander Dumas The Complete Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz Tyll by Daniel Kehlmann The Complete Saki      

Not only do we review Big Finish release #29 The Chimes of Midnight, we discuss some of Robert Shearman's other writing, including a 5 minute clip from the 1998 BBV audio, Punchline, available from Audible. Also discussed was the 2000 release, The Holy Terror. Our quick tip for this episode is Donna Noble: Kidnapped, released in March 2020. Intro & Outro music by Husky by the Geek.

The world of Doctor Who was thrown aback this week with news that beloved television writer and novelist Terrance Dicks passed away at the age of 84. Dicks’ contribution to the show and indeed many of our childhoods can’t be overestimated, from his time working with Barry Letts during the 1970s to his prodigious run on the Target novelizations, “The Five Doctors”, the New Adventures…the mind reels.

This month, we reach the end of our journey through Doctor Who history – for now, at least – by diving into the audio adventures of the series' least well-known but paradoxically most prolific Doctor: Paul McGann, the 8th Doctor, who debuted in a poorly-received TV film in 1996, but went on to star in a broad swath on ancillary material up to and beyond the show's return to BBC in 2005. For this episode, we discuss one of the 8th Doctor's earliest adventures, the 2002 Big Finish audio drama “The Chimes of Midnight,” by Robert Shearman, a haunted house mystery that has a lot more going on than one might expect at first blush. It is undoubtedly one of the boldest, most experimental, and most gripping Doctor Who stories ever produced, and proof that the franchise can work just as well in the form of an audio drama as it does on television.

And Graeme journeys to Cardiff to visit some Doctor Who and Torchwood locations!

Shana and Daniel are joined by Dr. Paul Booth of Depaul University in their discussion of "Chimes of Midnight," an Eighth Doctor audio adventure from Big Finish. Lots of general discussion of Big Finish ensues, along with a discussion of why the Doctor can be such a revolutionary figure on other worlds but must let simmering issues like class oppression alone. Main Topic: Chimes of Midnight. Introducing Paul Booth. "Pretend it's midnight and you're stoned, and it will make perfect sense." Daniel's claim to fame: Robert Shearman at least briefly followed him on Twitter. Shana's experience in listening to Chimes. The use of audio as a medium. Paul recommends "Ish." Repetition. Sideways in time. Time travel in Chimes. Downton Abbey as a window to the past. Comparison to Nightmare on Eden. Really. Meta-meandering. Chimes as drawing-room drama. 1920s in fiction. Doctor Who has commentary on genre. Big Finish as Classic Who Updated. The modernized companion. Spilling some love for Charlie and McGann. "The book is better than the movie" syndrome. The fan culture around Big Finish. What is the Doctor's responsibility towards oppressive cultures? The Doctor as a figure who inspires individuals to change the world for themselves.

This month on The Writer and the Critic, Kirstyn McDermott and Ian Mond invite award-winning UK author Robert Shearman to chat about his recent adventures at the Adelaide Writers' Week and the New Zealand International Arts Festival, as well as his ongoing and insanely impressive -- or impressively insane? -- One Hundred Stories project. Hilarity ensues. Highly personal details about Ian's sleeping habits are disclosed. Rob explains why he writes like an uber-caffeinated monkey. Kirstyn edits none of it out. Mwaohahaha. Around the 27:15 mark, the conversation meanders over to Rob's recommended book, Hope: A Tragedy by Shalom Auslander. Despite the fact that it's quite a new book, the trio are relentlessly free and easy with the spoilers, so skip ahead if you'd rather not hear how the book ends. Or begins. Or what happens in the middle. They then move on to discussing the two official podcast books: Houses Without Doors by Peter Straub (beginning at 1:00:30), picked by Kirstyn, and Queenpin by Megan Abbott (1:31:30) which was Ian's recommendation. Yes, it's another looooong episode. You're welcome! Tune back in around the 01:53:45 point for final remarks (and possibly some out-of-tune singing). Next month, Ian has recommended When Gravity Fails by George Alec Effinger while Kirstyn has picked The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. Read ahead and join in the spoilerific fun! * Vale Paul Haines Paul Haines, a well-known and much-loved member of the Australian spec fic community, passed away on Monday 5th March, 2012. Paul was a generous, funny and all-around amazing human being, as well as being an astonishingly good writer – truly, one of our best. He will be sorely missed by those who knew him and by those who only met him through his words. Paul's work is dark, disturbing, confronting and, more often than not, piss funny to boot. If you've not yet had the pleasure, please track down his collections: The Last Days of Kali Yuga (Brimstone Press, 2011) Slice of Life (The Mayne Press, 2010) Doorways for the Dispossessed (Prime, 2006) Thank you, Paul. Travel safe.

On this episode of The Writer and the Critic, Kirstyn McDermott and Ian Mond proffer a correction from Cheryl Morgan in regards to Hugo Awards eligibility before entangling themselves in more culturally appropriative knots sparked off by some very interesting feedback from Karen Lord. They also announce a list of giveaway novels in order to bribe listeners into recommending original, self-published eBooks for their newly named eBook Extravaganza ... so follow them on Twitter and start recommending! During discussion of The Silver Wind by Nina Allan (beginning at 35:30), Ian mentions this review by Martin Lewis while Kirstyn quotes from this piece by Sofia  Samatar.  The conversation then turns to The Courier's New Bicycle by Kim Westwood at 59:45 wherein this review by Cheryl Morgan is mentioned. Tune back in around the 01:43:00 point for final remarks. Next month, Ian and Kirstyn invite UK author Robert Shearman onto the podcast. (You may remember a discussion of Rob's most excellent story collection, Everyone's Just So So Special, on Episode 12. If you don't remember, go back and listen to it right now!)  Rob has recommended Perfume by Patrick Süskind for everyone to read, while Ian Mond has picked Queenpin by Megan Abbott and Kirstyn has chosen Houses Without Doors by Peter Straub. Read ahead and join in the fun!

More news as and when.“It's a wonderful idea, and I'll be sure to buy the book.”Robert Shearman(author The Chimes of Midnight, Dalek, Tiny Deaths, Love Songs For the Shy and Cynical)You and Who is the definitive volume on what it means to be a Doctor Who fan.The book has been written almost entirely by previously unpublished authors, from the ages of six to sixty, and comprises more than sixty-six essays on the subject of how and why it is that we have come to love Doctor Who.Whether it be a tale of meeting the sixth Doctor, building up a huge library of VHS tapes, or discovering the programme through satellite channel repeats, there's a story in here that almost any fan will recognise as their own.Beautifully written, filled with warmth and generosity, witty and delightful, You and Who is a book that no Doctor Who fan should be without.Available 1 12 2011 from Hirst Publishing.The proceeds will be donated to Children in Need.- J.R. Southall So, here is the contents page! I've arranged the order of the submissions into that which I think best serves the material (and the authors), and I've tried to ensure that no essays too similar sit right next to one another in the book - unless I've specifiaclly wanted them to do so (there were a couple of instances of this).

On this episode of The Writer and the Critic, your hosts, Kirstyn McDermott and Ian Mond, decide to eschew their normal thirty-odd minutes of waffle and plunge straight into a discussion of the two titles at hand, Bluegrass Symphony by Lisa L. Hannett and Everyone's Just So So Special by Robert Shearman. As both books are short story collections and also very new releases, there are no spoilers as such. But here are the time stamps anyway: 03:00 for Bluegrass Symphony (yes, that's three minutes -- they really meant it with the eschewing) and 33:00 for Everyone's Just So So Special. Final remarks kick in around 01:21:00. Kirstyn would like to disclaim that she is a judge for both the Australian Shadows and the Aurealis Awards this year, for which Lisa Hannett's stories are eligible, and therefore needs to stress that her opinions of the collection as expressed on this podcast are solely her own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the judging panels for either award. Ian would like to disclaim that he loves Rob Shearman just so so much, and is therefore incapable of holding any objective opinion of his work. So there's that. The Karen Joy Fowler story that is tangentially mentioned can be read online over at Subterranean Press, while Rob Shearman's insane One Hundred Stories project lives here. Next month, Ian and Kirstyn invite John Richards from Boxcutters to be their special podcast guest. John has chosen Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture by Douglas Coupland as for everyone to read, while Ian has selected Room by Emma Donoghue and Kirstyn has recommended The Secret History by Donna Tartt. They will most likely be back to their usual spoilerific form, so read ahead and join in the fun!

Last September, in Melbourne, science fiction fans came from all over the world to hear us interview two of the writers of the new series of Doctor Who, Paul Cornell and Robert Shearman.

T minus 5 days until The Time of Angels.   Welcome to this, the 7th Hitchhiker's Guide to the Whoverse: Mostly harmless Cutaway. Today Eric & Megan break down the newest, latest, and greatest Doctor Who. WARNING: This review/discussion contains pure Dalek DNA and SPOILERS! Thanks so much to Katrina (@xanister), 1 of the 'Three who Squee' fan creativity @ the Bridging the Rift podcast for providing this episode's intro. We certainly feel her contribution adds a bit of Canadian charm to our otherwise droll program. Please follow the links and check out their opinions & take on the world of Doctor Who fan art. Disclaimer: At 1 point Eric refers Robert Shearman, author of Dalek & Jubilee as "Ron" Shearman; Please disregard. This Blue Guy literally has a splitting headache therefore these notes will be cut short. All will be fine given time, so sincerely...   DON'T PANIC   Creator/Producer: Eric EscamillaEmail: bullitt33 ~at~ gmail ~dot~comSkype username: bullitt33Twitter: @Bullitt33Facebook: Bullitt33 Co-host: Megan Hibner Email: meganhibner ~at~ gmail ~dot~comTwitter: @meganhibner YouTube: youtube.com/TheChannelofRassilon HHG2W:Email: guidetothewhoverse ~at~ gmail ~dot~comWebsite: guidetothewhoverse.libsyn.comTwitter: @HHG2WTumblr: guidetothewhoverse.tumblr.com The MHC theme was created by Eric Escamilla.The MHC coverart was created by Cat (@fancyfembot).
