It's time to say so long, farewell, to Ace, for the third time, after Survival and Love and War.
We're delighted to be joined by Kate Orman, as she talks her way through the writing process, and shares her thoughts on the cover.
As ever, we feature readings from the novel, plus the Doctor Who Magazine prelude.
537: Circle of Memory
18/06/2026 | 37 mins.
We've got a tripled BAFTA Award winner as our guest this week!
We're delighted to welcome writer Bob Ayres to the Power of 3, as we mark the release of his first work for BBC Audiobooks.
Bob - the younger brother of sound genius Mark Ayres - discusses writing for the Eleventh Doctor, in Circle of Memory.
Plus, we feature a five minute sample from the episode, read by Dan Starkey, courtesy of our friends at BBC Audiobooks.
536: Parasite (New Adventures #33)
15/06/2026 | 36 mins.
We know that the word "parasite" is an insult used by the Chelonians in the New Adventures, but this has nothing to do with our favourite cybernetic tortoises.
We're looking at Jim Mortimore's third book for the New Adventures range, following Lucifer Rising (with Andy Lane) and Blood Heat.
We feature an all-new interview with Jim, as well as some archival interviews with the writer of this novel, with a harder SF leaning than many books in the range
535: RTD 2 Go
10/06/2026 | 53 mins.
"As part of securing the next phase of the show for future generations, and in line with the BBC's Charter and Agreement requirements, the BBC will put Doctor Who out to competitive tender this year." And with those words, the era of RTD2 is officially over. The triumphant return, heralded in time for the 60th anniversary, has come to an end. There will be no 2026 Christmas special. We gather our team to discuss the breaking news, and share out thoughts, hopes and positives for the future.
534: Falls the Shadow (New Adventures #32)
07/06/2026 | 2h 9 mins.
Falls the Shadow is undoubtedly one of the most controversial of all New Adventures. Known as the longest novel in the series, and also for its violence, Daniel O'Mahony has re-read his novel, and joins us to discuss it. We make no apologies for the fact this is one of our longest-ever episodes - apt, for such a length book!
A podcast discussing Doctor Who-related items, more often than not in threes, whether stories, guests, or anything else.
Featuring a regular team of hosts, including Kenny Smith, and David Steel (not the former Liberal Party MP, MSP and leader).
Our other regular conspirators are Dr John Bollan, Stephen Day and Matt Michael, with irregular appearances from the podcast's founding father, Tom Harris (the former Labour MP).
We also welcome a host of great Doctor Who guests, using "Kenny's bottomless address book" (c) David Steel.
