Happy April 1st to all our listeners. This week, our read-through of the Peter Cushing novelizations, by Observe Books, reaches "Escape to Danger", a short-story anthology adapting all six episodes from Cushing's wildly successful second radio series as Dr. Who. What happens when Robert Holmes turns his hand to the Cushing Universe characters? You won't want to miss Jason's breakdown of the first two short stories in this collection. You can find "Escape to Danger" (edited by Robin Bland) from the good people at Observe Books. The Cushing novelizations are no joke!

Purple pims. Season 6b. Towers of shit. Doctor Who bukake palaces. Something to cling on to. This episode centres around a discussion that will in no way enrich your time on this earth and Alan Graham and Robin Bland try to figure out if Box of Delights is part of Doctor Who or not. Merry Christmas!
Exponential shatners. Bob Holmes and pigs. Space hopper testicles and rubber spiders. Seminal. Blended rodents - yes, Robin Bland joins us to prosecute the stone cold classic of racist imperialism Talons of Weng Chiang.
"Chop Suey, the Galactic Emperor" The elusive Robin Bland serves up this dubious dish, with a hefty helping of hairy kebab meat, in 1976's The Brain of Morbius. But it's still a more appetising proposition than the Liquorice Bootlace Surprise at Chez Mehendri, a Bohemian bistro with a red, white and green wine list. The latest renegade Time Lord may be half man/half Macra with a goldfish bowl bonce but he's not the only patchwork person around. He's joined by a bearded old crone who's a cross between Chuck Heston and one of his Apes, and a home help who's equal parts Richard III, Liam Gallagher and Abu Hamza. Sarah goes blind and the Doctor gets blind drunk but sobers up in time to blind the Sisterhood with chimney sweep science. Then Morbius broadsides us with a colossal non-canon ball - the bombshell that Tom Baker is, in fact, the mystery 12th Doctor. It's lively, it's loony and it's lurid so listen in as Jim and Martin bend their minds in an attempt to make sense of it all.
