The Doctor Is In
Writer, Neil Gaiman
Season 3, Ep. 1
•
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.

11. Tim Treloar - The Third Doctor
16:09Back when Big Finish's super The Annhilators came out, I chatted with the incredible Tim Treloar (the new Third Doctor) about inhabiting the rather enormous fabulous shoes of John Pertwee. But, in true modern fashion, the episode somehow never got uploaded, so whilst it's late... so is The Doctor quite often. Right?9. I talk Jekyll and Hyde with Nicholas Briggs and John Heffernan!
15:11Big 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.8. Charlotte Pollard, India Fisher
27:10This 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.7. The Seventh Doctor, Sylvester McCoy
26:21The 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.6. The Sixth Doctor, Colin Baker
25:27The 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.5. Dan, John Bishop
17:58Beloved 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.4. Executive Producer at Big Finish, Nick Briggs
52:12What 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.3. Davros, Terry Molloy
38:57Terry 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.
