528: Remembering Jon Pertwee
19/05/2026 | 53 mins.
On 20 May 1996, Doctor Who's third leading man passed away.
In this bonus episode of the Power of 3, we remember Jon Pertwee, whose five years in the title role took Doctor Who to levels of popularity unseen since the show's 60s heyday.
We are joined by a host of friends, including a very special guest who discusses Jon's personal legacy for them - and how Tom Baker gave their career a boost.
527: Last of the Gadarene
17/05/2026 | 43 mins.
The Power of 3 is remembering the Third Doctor, Jon Pertwee, who passed away this week, 30 years ago.
We kick off our commemoration with a look at the most Third Doctor of all Third Doctor novels, Mark Gatiss's love letter to the 1971-73 period, with the Doctor, Jo and the UNIT team - as well as the Master.
We feature archive quotes from Mark, as well as the memories of book editor Steve Cole.
526: Restoring the TV Movie (part two)
13/05/2026 | 56 mins.
In our two-part look at the work which has gone in, to bring the TV Movie to 4K and blu-ray, we speak to more people involved in the process.
Last week Paul Vanezis told us the full story of his work to restore the film, and this time, we're joined by David Palfreyman, who worked on the film scans, and Mark Ayres, who has restored the sound.
And now, we're all ready for the BFI Screening!
525: The Art of Destruction
10/05/2026 | 43 mins.
Remember when Doctor Who was the number one show on TV, and everyone loved David Tennant and Billie Piper?
We turn back the clock 20 years, as we travel with the Tenth Doctor and Rose to Africa, as we look at the original novel The Art of Destruction.
Writer Steve Cole joins us to discuss this book, with audiobook readings from Don Warrington.
