Power of 3

Power of 3 listeners with long memories will recall we previously looked at the Jon Pertwee radio episodes in our 121st episode.

Three years and 440 episodes later, we're putting it back under the microscope again, as we look at Barry Letts's novelisation of his own work.

We feature archive interviews with Barry, BBC radio excerpts, a five minute reading of the audiobook, plus narrator Jon Culshaw drops by too. And, we get hints for the future of the BBC Audiobooks range from editor Michael Stevens.

Circuit Breaker continues, as we head into Penguin Books' contribution to the ongoing series.

We speak to author Janelle McCurdy about her short story, The Doctor and the Three Witches, which is part of the new paperback reprint of Time Lord Fairy Tales.

She explains how her love of the Tenth Doctor helped influence her adventure, which appears alongside a number of adventures by the late Justin Richards.

We return to the Doctor Who multimedia event of 2026 today, as we look at the next chapter in Circuit Breaker.

Starring Jo Martin as the Fugitive Doctor, we're meeting some of the team behind Dawn of the Daleks, the second comic book published by Titan to tie-in with the series.

We're delighted to welcome back editor Jonathan Wilkins, and co-writer Dulce Montoya, as they discuss how their second Dalek adventure came to be, how the object from the Black Archive needing returned was chosen and... Jonathan says the most forbidden word on the Power of 3!!!!!

What is the word? He calls Kenny a "W"...

Scary thought for the day - on January 1 next year, The Sarah Jane Adventures will be 20 years old.

To mark the occasion, our friends at Roundel Books are publishing an exclusive book on the series, with more than 300 unseen pictures, taken during the production of the show by Tommy Knight's mum, Sandy.

We're joined by designer Will Brooks to discuss the publication.

The Invasion was the Second Doctor story that laid down the format for the decade to come.

And now, it's the subject of a Black Archive, from Obverse Books, which has been written by Stephen Hatcher. Steve joins us to discuss this book.
