492: Legacy (New Adventures #25)
01/2/2026 | 1h 8 mins.
The Power of 3 Book Club returns to the New Adventures for the new few weeks.
We return to the Seventh Doctor, Ace and Bernice, and a trip to Peladon with the return of some familiar faces - The Ice Warriors.
Gary Russell talks to us about his first novel, and we feature readings of the DWM prelude and an excerpt from the novel.
491: Mount Rushmore
28/1/2026 | 1h 5 mins.
Hypothetical situation - the faces of four people involved with Doctor Who are to be carved onto a mountain, like Mount Rushmore.
So, we asked our team which four faces they would choose - everyone is eligible, whether in front of the camera or behind it.
We've got a surprising range of replies from Kenny, Steevie and John (plus Dave pops in via the Space-Time Telegraph).
Who would you choose? Let us know!
490: Catastrophea
25/1/2026 | 49 mins.
Under the microscope today is a novel by the godfather of Doctor Who fiction, Mr Terrance Dicks.
Today, Catastrophea, his Third Doctor and Jo Past Doctor Adventure for BBC Books, is examined.
We're delighted to feature never before seen (or in this case heard!) material from Terrance's archive, courtesy of his widow Elsa and biographer Simon Guerrier.
Editor Steve Cole drops by too, to reveal how this novel was commissioned.
489: Better Call Saul Metzstein!
21/1/2026 | 50 mins.
Our new irregular series speaking to the Scots who've made Doctor Who on TV continues.
We're today joined by Saul Metzstein, who directed five of Matt Smith's stories in Series 7, as well as three of the shorts.
Plus, he talks about directing hit TV show Slow Horses.
488: The Colony of Lies
18/1/2026 | 52 mins.
The Second Doctor, Jamie and Zoe find themselves in a dead end town on an alien world, in Colony of Lies.
Author Colin Brake returns to join us once more, as we take a look at his BBC Past Doctor Adventures novel.
Plus, we reveals where Dimensions in Time stands in EastEnders canon, and teases what he may have done if he had taken the script editor's job in Doctor Who if Series 27 had gone ahead!
