Doctor Who: We're All Stories in the End

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! I'm @seaoftranquillitylane on Threads.

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.

After spending a hundred years tooling about with no memories or TARDISes, Iain and Mark Cockram from All of Time and Space meet in St. Louis for a long-awaited reunion and a bit of a chat about Colin Brake's Eighth Doctor Adventure Escape Velocity.

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.

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.
