    34. Frontier Worlds by Peter Anghelides
    Nov 24 2024

    Greetings to anyone who bothers to read these show-notes, and welcome to our listeners in Taiwan, Bosnia and New Zealand, France and Greece. It's nice to see Doctor Who fans (a) who are from other countries and continents or (b) listening to my podcast while they're on holibobs. Either way.


    This month I'm joined once again by Jon Arnold from Strangers in Space to look at the last BBC Doctor Who adventure of the 20th Century, and discuss topics as diverse as Frank Sinatra, IBM, the Right. Hon. Dominic Raab MP and the Terry Nation Naming Convention.

    33. First Frontier by David A. McIntee
    Oct 27 2024
    Let's jet off to the red clay and sandy plains of Billy the Kid territory, the sublime state of New Mexico, in this episode filled with Alien invasions, Air Force bases, and some rather baffling Kreer advice (see what I did there?) from a familiar foe...

    31. Falls the Shadow by Daniel O'Mahoney
    Aug 25 2024

    To discuss 1995's gargantuan New Adventure Falls the Shadow, I'm joined from UNIT HQ by Corporal Blake, who had as hard a time with the novel as I did, and of course by our resident reader Kevin, who gives a second opinion that pretty much matches our own. The book remains a challenging and at times unpleasant read, at the farthest edges of what Doctor Who novels can set out to do, without actually being Transit.


    Follow me! I'm @seaoftranquillitylane on Threads.

    30. Eternity Weeps by Jim Mortimore
    Jul 28 2024
    It's the return of Jon Arnold this month, as we discuss Eternity Weeps by Jim Mortimore, the fourth-from-final New Adventure published by Virgin in 1997. And now I've just realised this range even predates the Blair era and now I feel so old I could cry. In fact, I shall. But while I'm doing that, you can listen to this most excellent of episodes, and you can follow me on the increasingly pointless social media platform Threads, where I'm @seaoftranquillitylane, Jon is @jonarnold9 and Kevin -our tame Doctor Who fan- is @livewire122.

  • 28. Endgame by Terrance Dicks (sort of...)

    28. Endgame by Terrance Dicks (sort of...)
    May 26 2024
    Join myself and Dylan "Goddam" Rees from Too Hot For TV to pick the bones out of this cold-war spy thriller from the pen of Doctor Who's greatest noveliser, Terrance Dicks. On the way, we also touch upon the related topics of whiskey, Justin Richards' careful padding, Axl Rose, 'Allo 'Allo! and Terrance's best-ever Doctor Who story. Hint: it isn't this one.

    27. Emotional Chemistry by Simon A. Forward
    Apr 28 2024
    Join Iain and friend-of-the-show D.K. for a freewheeling conversation about the Eighth Doctor Adventure Emotional Chemistry, written by Simon A. Forward and published by BBC Books in the year of our lord 2003. We ramble over a wide conversational area with unexpected mentions of Terrahawks, Star Fleet and the actress Eva Green, and we have our first meeting with the last companion to join the EDA range, the enigmatic Trix... All kinds of snow, time travel and intrigue await us in this novel, set shortly after the Battle of Reykjavik. Welcome, my people. Welcome.
