The Doctor Is In

Big Finish have crafted a fantastic new production of Jekyll and Hyde, so I sat down to talk with director Nicholas Briggs, and Dr Jekyll / Mr Hyde himself, John Heffernan!You can grab a copy here.

This week, I talk with the superb India Fisher, the voice behind Charlotte Pollard! One of the greatest companions in Who history, Charley is absolutely iconic, and India discusses what it was like stepping into this groundbreaking role.

The Seventh Doctor is here! This week I talk with the incredible Sylvester McCoy about how he got started, what it was like to land the role, and how he helped turn The Doctor dark.

The Doctor, Colin Baker, is here! We talk about Russell T. Davies' upcoming Mind of the Hodiac, meeting your younger self, and how to act your heart out.

Beloved comedian and actor, John Bishop, is stepping into the TARDIS to play Jodie's final companion! Ahead of the much-anticipated premiere of Doctor Who: Flux, John and I had a fantastic chat about why standups make such great actors, taking dogs on the TARDIS, and whether Daleks are scarier than bombing on-stage.

What starts as a gentle ribbing of Dirk Maggs soon leads to a revelatory chat about looking for reasons to say yes, struggling to play favourites, how to stay in love with Doctor Who, and the single weirdest Tom Baker anecdote you'll ever hear.

Terry Molloy, the masterful performer behind the wizened face of Davros, sits down for a lengthy (and at times wonderfully bizarre) chat about his role as leader of the Dalek race! This one gets gloriously weird, folks. Enjoy.

Managing Director of Big Finish, Jason Haigh Ellery, sits down with me for a brilliant chat about bagging Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor, dealing with massive canon-shifts in the TV show, and how Big Finish turn out their trademark brilliance long-distance during COVID. We also riff about who his favourite Big Finish companions are.

In this very special episode, I revisit an interview I did with Neil Gaiman back in 2013. It's a surprisingly deep, revelatory chat - we talk about overcoming writers block, how to actually sit the hell down and get writing done, and we go deep on Neil's love for Doctor Who, what it's like to writer on the show, and the pressures of running something as big as Sandman. If you're an aspiring author or a Whovian, this is a rare glimpse into the mind of one of our greatest living writers.
