Power of 3

We've featured a lot of Doctor Who books that have been released by the BBC and Virgin books over the past three years.
But today, we're doing something a little different - we're looking at the book pitch that became something else entirely.
We're delighted to share a conversation with Gary Russell about The Island of Fear, his novel that later morphed into The Scales of Injustice!

Last week, we learned of the very sad news of the passing of Justin Richards.
Justin is best known to Doctor Who fans as a novel writer, book editor, script writer and script editor with Big Finish, but he was also an accomplished children's novelist too.
To pay tribute to Justin, we speak to Peter Anghelides, Steve Cole, Gary Russell and Lisa Bowerman, who all knew him and worked with him in different ways over the years. They pay tribute to their friend.
The Power of 3 sends its deepest condolences to Alison, Julian and Chris, and their wider family and friends, at this sad time.
Rest in peace, Justin.

Last week, we learned that sad news that Justin Richards, former Doctor Who books editor, and prolific novelist, had died.
Justin was a powerhouse in the worlds of Doctor Who literature, writing for the majority of the Doctors, for the BBC, Virgin and Penguin, as well as crafting a number of factual books.
We pay tribute to him with a look at his 50th anniversary novel, Plague of the Cybermen.
Justin - thank you. Vale.

We've now featured around half of the New Adventures novels on the Power of 3, as we speak to the writers (where possible) about their books which were too broad and too deep for television.

In today's episode, we look at the 36th New Adventure, which was written by Daniel Blythe.

He discusses his second book in the range, after The Dimension Riders, and we also feature the DWM prelude, readings from the novel (with sound effects), the original DWM review, and what people think today on Goodreads.

Who remembers Destiny of the Doctors? No, not Destiny of the Doctor (singular), the joint BBC AudioGo/Big Finish series of productions for the 50th anniversary.

Doctor Who and computer games have never been an easy mix, from The First Adventure and Warlord on the BBC Micro, through to Doctor Who and the Mines of Terror on the Commodore 64, and then Dalek Attack on various early 90s machines.

Rather than look at the more recent Wii, PlayStation or Nintendo DS games, we're going back to the 1990s, with Destiny of the Doctors.

We're joined by Gary Russell, who explains his involvement in writing the encyclopaedia entries for the game, as well as the fun involved in making a Doctor Who game.

Plus! We feature a commentary on some of the game. Just what you always wanted!
