Bob and Dave do Bob and Dave
Sunday Nov 24, 2024
Sunday Nov 24, 2024
Bob Baker and Dave Martin were a writing partnership that contributed many Doctor Who stories during the 1970s across the Pertwee and Baker Doctors including The Claws of Axos, The Mutants, The Armageddon Factor, and The Hand of Fear.
They were also responsible for the creation of K9, who first appeared in The Invisible Enemy and went on to become one of the most beloved characters in the Doctor Who universe.
Tonight, we examine how Bob and Dave came together, how they began writing for Doctor Who, what they wrote over a near decade partnership, and give some comment on each of the stories they wrote.
Before then, all the usual news and short topics you've come to expect, and after the Bob and Dave segment, we have listener feedback and what we've been watching this past month. A jam-packed episode! Tune in!
