    582 : (Re)Animating The Abominable Snowmen

    11/11/2026 | 1h
    Next week, Doctor Who fans will complete their action figures of the Character Options Yeti collect and build figures, as the Wirrrn is released.

    But, we're not here to talk about that! Instead, we're taking a look at how the Yeti came to be animated, for their first encounter with the Doctor.

    Animation producer Gary Russell joins us to explain how he came to work on this, the first of three animations he oversaw.

    Ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrr! Join us here on the good ship Power of 3, as we take a look at a Tenth Doctor and Rose new series adventure.

    We're taking to the high seas of space, to see what happens when they face a bunch of ol' pirates searching for a lost treasure, the Resurrection Casket.

    We feature an archival interview with the writer, Justin Richards, and take our usual look at how the book went down with fans, then and now.

    Avast there! Pieces of eighth! Pieces of eighth!

    580: The Making of The Daleks' Master Plan

    04/11/2026 | 50 mins.
    Ever since the recovery of episodes one and three of the Hartnell epic earlier this year, there's been a renewed interest in the 12-part adventure.

    We speak with three of the people involved in the new book from Magic Bullet, The Daleks' Master Plan - The Making of a Television Serial.

    We're joined by writer Alan Stevens, artist Tim Keeble and designer Paul Winter, to discuss how this 350+ page book came about.

    579: The Key To Time

    01/11/2026 | 45 mins.
    The Key to Time - once a source of frustration for Target book fans, when they had five-sixths of the story novelised, and there was that annoying gap between The Ribos Operation and The Stones of Blood.

    But that gap has since been filled, and now, BBC Books has released a bumper volume featuring novelisations of all six Key to Time stories - and none of the original Target books are included!

    We speak to editor Steve Cole about this new hardback, and are delighted to welcome back writer Rob Shearman, who has novelised The Power of Kroll.
