Doctor Who: We're All Stories in the End

It's St. Patrick's Day, so let's all raise a glass to a man who has quietly worked on various Doctor Who publishing projects over the last twenty years plus, it's Paul Simpson!

Breaking the format SOMEWHAT this time around, we're celebrating Lent by discussing the AWARD-WINNING novel Lost in the Garden with its author, podcasting's Adam S. Leslie.

Surprise! We're back for the first episode of our new, occasional side-step into Doctor Who books featuring other Doctors, and where better to start than at the very beginning, with Slipback, the very first Doctor Who novel *not* based on a BBC TV story.Joining me is long-term Saward stan JR Southall.WE WILL BE BACK AT EASTER!Follow us at:@Seaoftranquilitylane on Threads@theiainmartin.bsky.social on BlueskyOr just come and hang out on alternate Saturdays at Saint's Row Brewery in Old Town Gaithersburg, MD.

Happy New Year! To mark the dawning of 2025, we're back with a winter special to keep your cockles warm until we return for series four. In this jam-packed, bumper, fun-filled special episode Mikey Smith and I have a lovely natter about all kinds of Doctor Who factual things. Some of which are even true. We'll be back soon!

The fourth book published in the Eighth Doctor Adventures was the unloved Genocide by Paul Leonard. Kevin, Iain, and our tame Scotsman Mark Donaldson poke about under the bonnet to try to work out exactly what the problem is. This is the last in the current series of We're All Stories in the End.

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.

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...

Join Iain and Si as they travel back to the 80's for a look at the EDA "Father Time" by Lance Parkin, and discuss 80's cartoons, Guns N' Roses, the secret of the Klade, and the TV episode "The Doctor's Daughter". Amongst other things...

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!
