Last week, we brought you a look at the New Adventure, Shakedown.
Part of it novelised the video release of the production from DreamWatch Media, written by Terrance Dicks.
So, in a sequel to that episode (and in some ways a prequel - it's Doctor Who, of course it can be both!), we speak to director Kevin Jon Davies about creating this adventure with the Sontarans.

463: The Ultimate Treasure
We return to the earliest days of BBC Books' Past Doctor Adventures.
Today, we take a look at just the third book they published, The Ultimate Treasure.
We're delighted to be joined by the joyous Christopher Bulis as he talks us through the process of switching from Virgin Publishing to the BBC.

462: The 'lost' Third Doctor story by Jon Pertwee
It's Doctor Who's 62nd anniversary - hurrah!
To commemorate the occasion, we take an in-depth look at Dr Who and the Spare-Part People (also known as The Brain Drain, but given Big Finish recently did a Third Doctor tale with that title - totally unrelated - we're using The Spare-Part People!).
Originally written by Jon Pertwee and his friend Reed de Rouen, this was pitched around the time of Season 7 to the production office, but never made.
We bring you readings of the full plot breakdown, complete with a Radiophonic Workshop score, and our thoughts on the outline.
Should it have been developed? Tune in and decide for yourself!

461: Optional Extras 21 - Ask Al 4
We know that a lot of our listeners are Doctor Who action figure collecting enthusiasts, so we're always pleased to welcome Character Options' Al Dewar to the podcast.
As we occasionally do, we encouraged listeners to send in their questions for Al following some social media prompts, and we share some of your questions here, with Al giving his replies.
Al wasn't given copies of the questions in advance, so what you hear are his honest instant reactions. So stand by to find out just what the situation is with the TARDIS console room playset Al previously mentioned, some B&M figures we didn't get, and much more!
Please note: This was recorded on Tuesday night, and Dave, Kenny and Al were also keeping an eye on the score at Hampden Park, as Scotland won 4-2 against Denmark to qualify for the 2026 World Cup Finals.

460: Counterstrike
He may have gone from our TV screens, but the Fifteenth Doctor still lives on.
His adventures continue through BBC Audiobooks, and we're delighted to be joined by the fantastic Dr Una McCormack, who tells us about writing her latest adventure, Counterstrike.
Plus, we have an excerpt from the other new release, Firefall.
A podcast discussing Doctor Who-related items, more often than not in threes, whether stories, guests, or anything else.
Featuring a regular team of hosts, including Kenny Smith, and David Steel (not the former Liberal Party MP, MSP and leader).
Our other regular conspirators are Dr John Bollan, Stephen Day and Matt Michael, with irregular appearances from the podcast's founding father, Tom Harris (the former Labour MP).
We also welcome a host of great Doctor Who guests, using "Kenny's bottomless address book" (c) David Steel.
