There are bad politicians and bad churchmen today. There were bad politicians and churchmen during Mary's time on earth too. Imagine her having to watch as people crucified her Son. Yet do you know that Mary never lost her cool or her peace? She never took to social media or called people names. She kept her gaze on Christ. And this is what we must do too. God bless you.

Many thanks to Colin for agreeing to come back and see us again Guests Jenny T.

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.

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.

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.

No, that title doesn't mean we're fighting amongst ourselves (though it's true we're not in total agreement about this week's topic). Join Deb, Erika, Liz, Lynne, and Tansy as we talk about Richard Marson's new biography of Verity Lambert, Drama and Delight: The Life of Verity Lambert. Verity did an awful lot more than just launching Doctor Who. Her successes ranged from television to cooking to friendship. We chat about it all and discuss whether we thought the book succeeds as a biography. Will you be running out to nab this book?

Now that new Doctor Who is no longer gracing our screens on a weekly basis, Verity! is back to our usual schedule. That means a "proper" episode every-other-week, but fear not! We'll have a little something for you in the off-weeks as well. This off-week it's more than little--it's an extra-long Extra! Join Deb, Erika, Kat, Lynne, and Tansy as we cover the departure of our beloved Matt Smith and then tackle Richard Marson's headline-making book JN-T: The Life and Scandalous Times of John Nathan-Turner. If you'd like to take Tansy's advice and search out more podcastey goodness covering the book, check out Radio Free Skaro's interview with Richard Marson. ^E

Britain's biggest selling daily newspaper, The Sun, has announced it will start charging for its website later this year. It's the latest paper to announce it's to put content behind a pay wall - the Telegraph made its plans known yesterday afternoon. Presenter Steve Hewlett discusses how The Sun is hoping to make money, what it's likely to be offering, and whether competitors like Mail Online could ever follow suit.As separate types of media - print, broadcast, online - increasingly merge together, questions are being asked about how to regulate content. A report out today from the House of Lords Communications Committee has looked into the issue. It believes the changes to the media are 'profound' and put strain on the present regulatory system. Steve asks the Chair of the Committee and report author, Lord Ingelwood, about the findings and hears concern from the founder of Mumsnet Justine Roberts about trying to regulate arenas like blogging.And Richard Marson, author of "The Life and Scandalous Times of John Nathan-Turner", responds to press reports of his book that focus on new abuse allegations at the BBC in the 1980s.The producer is Simon Tillotson.

The upcoming book "JN-T: The Life and Scandalous Times of John Nathan-Turner" is quite possibly the most controversial account of the behind-the-scenes world of Doctor Who ever published, delving into the, at times, seedy side of the life of the long time producer of Doctor Who. It also covers, with astonishing detail, the trials and tribulations that occurred during the making of the programme in the 1980s when the BBC were increasingly trying to kill it. We present an interview with the book's author, Richard Marson, who explains the amount of work that went into researching the biography, as well as discuss his own experiences and opinions on the man who was responsible for Doctor Who for an entire decade. But before that, Chris and Steven yammer about the news of the week, and look forward to new Doctor Who in less than a week's time! Check out the show notes at http://www.radiofreeskaro.com
