553: Circuit Breaker - Adversary of the Daleks
09/08/2026 | 26 mins.
This year's big Doctor Who multimedia event has arrived - Circuit Breaker.

The Fugitive Doctor is summoned by UNIT after mysterious items begin to appear in the Black Archive. Only the Fugitive Doctor can solve the mystery, with no knowledge of her future.

We kick off with Titan Comics' first publication of the event, Adversary of the Daleks.

We're joined by editor Jonathan Wilkins and co-author Dulce Montoya.
552: Optional Extras 25 - Tegan, Cybermen, Ncuti and Dugga Doo
07/08/2026 | 55 mins.
It's been a while since the Nestene Consciousness himself, Al Dewar, joined us on the Power of 3.

So, to make up for lost time, Al discusses the releases of Tegan, the Dark Water Cybermen, plus the Fifteenth Doctor, Dugga Doo and Mr Ring-A-Ding.

Don't make me laugh!
551: The Black Archive - The Web Planet
05/08/2026 | 39 mins.
The Web Planet - one of the great Doctor Who experiments, which still divides opinion to this day.

Bill Strutton's 1965 serial was hugely ambitious, with a non-human selection of guest characters, on an alien world - all realised on a BBC budget in a small studio.

Dr Brigid Cherry has written a Black Archive book looking at the story and analysing its creation and themes, and she joins us to discuss it.

02/08/2026 | 35 mins.
For our 550th episode, we're absolutely delighted to welcome the one and only Jon Culshaw back to the Power of 3.

We're pleased to have Jon - Britain's leading impressionist - with us, as he explains how he came to be cast as the Twelfth Doctor for Big Finish.

Expect impressions throughout, laughs aplenty, and a fascinating insight into how Jon found the voice of Peter Capaldi.
