10 episodes into our second series and 35 years after he took on the role, we discuss the Peter Davison era of Doctor Who.
As you can see from the run-time, we've really gone to town. We discuss everything from Davo's pre- and post-Doctor Who roles, in addition to everything Doctor Who... the costume, the companions, the production team and, of course, the episodes. We give our thoughts on each and every one:
Castrovalva
Four To Doomsday
Kinda
The Visitation
Black Orchid
Earthshock
Time-Flight
Arc of Infinity
Snakedance
Mawdryn Undead
Terminus
Enlightenment
The King's Demons
The Five Doctors
Warriors of the Deep
The Awakening
Frontios
Resurrection of the Daleks
Planet of Fire
The Caves of Androzani

Child Out of Time (The Doctor Who Show Presents: Hayden Gribble)

It brings me great delight to say that friend of the show (and podcaster in his own right), Hayden Gribble, has penned a book, which is coming out on the 16th of this month. Pretty much around the time you'll hear this episode.
That book is called Child Out Of Time, a memoir of sorts, about a Doctor Who fan growing up in the Wilderness years of the series.
With a cover by Doctor Who author Paul Magrs and a foreword by Andrew 'Full Circle' Smith, this really is a neat thing.
So, to do my part in letting everyone know the book's out - find it at Amazon, folks - I've gone back to the Doctor Who Show episode #2 (from February, 2016).
Why? Because I had Hayden on that episode. You see, Hayden's always fascinated me from the point of view that in Who fandom we have a bunch of people who watched the classic era and most of us have continued to enjoy Nu-Who. Or they're people who started with Nu-Who and some might have gone back to the classics, but I'd wager most haven't, even if they appreciate the history and gravitas it gives the new material.
But Hayden's different. He didn't see the Classic Era on its first run, but then became a fan in the wilderness years, thanks initially to the TV Movie, so was primed and ready to be a major fan when Nu Who started, just like a Classic era fan... but was still this young guy at the time with a different story to most.
That sort of thing's really interesting to me, so I wanted to chat with him on the show about being a younger who fan who likes the classic era, as a bit of a conversation piece.
Now, towards the end of the chat back in 2016, Hayden mentions some projects coming up and one of them was Child out of Time... so it seemed highly appropriate to dust off this tape, and give you a taste of Hayden and I chatting about his years growing up with the show which he's now expanded upon - in quite a major way - in Child out of Time.

September 30 2017 saw Bridlington Comic Con held at The Spa, a dance hall, theatre and conference centre in Bridlington, East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
The star attraction at the con was Sylvester McCoy, who will need no introduction to our listeners.
Regular Who Wars contributor and some time Doctor Who Show contributor, The Rev (aka Andy) was MC for Sylvester's interview, and provides the audio we can listen to today.
You may find the sound quality varies at times; the perils of live recording, folks. We hope having the chance to "be in the room" (in a virtual sense), overrides any niggles with the sound.
Take it away, Andy & Sylv!
