Power of 3

"Physician, heal thyself..."
"It's the end, but the moment has been prepared for..."
"I don't want to go..."
"Carrot juice, carrot juice, carrot juice..."
The last one of these, is not the most appropriate final words for any incarnation of the Doctor, and in today's book club, we look at the final Sixth Doctor adventure, in print form.
Gary Russell joins us to discuss this novel, and its ending, and the factors that made it darker than he planned it to be.
We feature our usual readings, the DWM review at the DWM, and contemporary thoughts from Goodreads.

The Doctor Who missing episode count has dropped to 95, thanks to the generous donation of The Daleks' Master Plan parts one and three, from the estate of a deceased film collector. These were returned to the BBC by Film is Fabulous!
But do The Nightmare Begins and Devil's Planet live up to the hype and expectations? Can Douglas Camfield's work be as good as we hoped?
Kenny, Dave, John and Steevie discuss, and are joined by a group of friends who offer their insights.

The Fifteenth Doctor's latest original adventure is The Moon Cruise.
It's a fun adventure set on a spaceship, which has a VERY dark secret, and possibly goes to areas you may not expect a new series adventure to go to.
We feature a brief conversation with editor Steve Cole, and an extract from the BBC Audiobooks release, which is available now.
The Moon Cruise is available as a hardback, and also as an eBook.
