Hello!
While Doctor Who Series 10 airs, our monthly shows are going to take a slightly different format. In the spirit of Doctor-lite and companion-lite TV episodes, we're going to do this episode sans Rob, and May's episode will be sans Dave. You can invent your own head canon as to who's who.
So! Welcome to Richard and Rob, both from the Goodies Pirate Podcast (and Rob is also from the 42 to Doomsday podcast), to talk with Dave about the month in Doctor Who as well as their favourite Doctor Who books, both fiction and non-fiction.
In more detail, today’s episode covers:
Listener email from David Clarke; discussion of Class.
Discussion of Doctor Who Series 10.
Mr Men Doctor Who books.
Fake news and Doctor Who.
Our Favourite Doctor Who books:
- Revenge of the Cybermen
- Timewyrm: Revelation
- Doctor Who and the Cave Monsters
- The Doctor Who Monster Book
- Doctor Who: The Key to Time
- Remembrance of the Daleks
- The Doctor Who Programme Guide

London, 1814. The entire city has turned out for the biggest Frost Fair in decades. But beneath the frozen Thames, revellers are disappearing, snatched through the ice and pulled into the depths where a terrifying monster lurks. Will the Doctor and Bill stop the slaughter before they too are dragged into the icy waters?

The Blue Box Podcast recently celebrated a milestone in its 250th episode with a four-hour-plus episode, comprising "mini episodes" of many Doctor Who podcasts from around the globe.
As long-time listeners of the podcast we (that is, Rob & Dave), provided such a mini episode for the special, based on our typical Doctor Who Show chats, which is also included for your pleasure here.
[The chat is all about how Doctor Who and Doctor Who fandom has differed in Australia, versus other countries, over the years. It seems appropriate for an internationally diverse episode...]
One thing we noticed, however, is that while we stuck to the Blue Box Podcast's instructions and deliberately didn't reference its milestone or otherwise talk about it at all, not every podcast followed suit.
So Rob decided he wanted to say congratulations too, but with Dave missing from the other end of the Skype line he struggled a bit... until deciding to call the Blue Box Podcast supremo himself, JR Southall.
What happened next? You'll have to listen to find out!

- New Doctor Who novels out soon featuring the 12th Doctor; The Shining Man (Cavan Scott), Diamond Dogs (Mike Tucker) & Plague City (Jonathan Morris).
- The Come-Uppance of Captain Katt by Peter Grimwade.
- Doctor Who incidental music, featuring comments from listeners Jim Cameron, Mark Smith, Kenny Davidson, John Hole, Jeff Waddell, Alastair Thomson-Mills, I'll Explain Later, Kathleen Cruikshank and music from stories including: The Daleks, Tomb of the Cybermen, The Web of Fear, The Invasion, The Sea Devils, Terror of the Zygons, The Sunmakers, The Leisure Hive, Logopolis, Enlightenment, The Five Doctors, Frontios, The Mysterious Planet, Dragonfire, The Happiness Patrol, Survival, The Movie, Doomsday, The Eleventh Hour, The Rings of Akhaten, The Wedding of River Song and more.

If you listen to Australian-produced Doctor Who podcasts that aren't the Doctor Who Show, chances are (given how relatively few there are), you're a Flight Through Entirety listener.
Here, Rob (@theDWshow) talks to Brendan Jones (@critiqaltheory) from Flight Through Entirety @FTEpodcast about the Dapol TARDIS playset and Doctor Who action figures in general.
This episode was originally a segment on the Doctor Who Show #4 (Apr 24, 2016).

One of our TARDIS Library contributors, Mike Solko, attended the annual Gallifrey One convention at the Los Angeles Airport Marriott, February 17-19, 2017. Here, Rob sits down with Mike to discuss attending this year's event, as well as past Gallifrey One's and US Doctor Who conventions in general. Along the way they talk guests, cosplaying, merchandise, panels, representation, a rave where no one dances and vomiting before meeting a personal hero.
We hope you like it.

David Kitchen's back! Well, if you heard our '21 Replacements For 12' episode on February 1, you'd know that, but this is the first time in 2017 that Rob sits down to discuss Doctor Who with Dave on the flagship edition of the show.
During today's episode, they cover:
– Listener emails from John Hole and 'Kazza' which cover Children of the Dogstar; Chocky; casting a female Doctor; and whether Rob and Dave are 50th Anniversary deniers.
- Errors Department: paper with the corners cut off to make it look futuristic is a Battlestar Galactica thing, not a Babylon 5 thing. Rob's mistake.
- What Doctor Who music has stood out for you, and why? Nu Who or classic series, we want to hear it all from you. No pun intended. Email us -- hello@theDWshow.net -- or tell us on our Facebook or Twitter.
- Doctor Who Series 10: we have a release date; Missy's return and will this be her final hurrah?; the Ice Warriors return with an all-new version but will this be a great or dodgy Gatiss episode; Dave's Pearl Mackie conspiracy theory.
- Doctor Who Series 11: production has been pushed back, so we won't see it in April of 2018 as many had been expecting after we 'reset the clock' this year.
- Doctor Who news: Vale, John Hurt; Big Finish sale perhaps prefaces the retirement of CDs 51 - 125 as physical media and Big Finish chat in general - what are Rob and Dave buying and why?; the essay book Hating to Love (which we interviewed JR Southall about on an earlier episode), has been released - and Dave and Rob each have a copy; future Watching Books releases.
- Dave's adventures in the UK: meeting the Blue Box Podcast & Diddly Dum podcast crews; are podcasts replacing Doctor Who clubs in the modern day?; visiting Doctor Who locations in the UK.
- Totally Tasteless: The Life of John Nathan-Turner by Richard Marson.
- What are we watching beyond Doctor Who? Dave cites The Goldbergs and Riverdale while Rob opts for the Santa Clarita Diet.
- Some more quick thoughts on Series 10 of Doctor Who before we go.

Regular listeners to the Doctor Who Show will know Doc Whom as a guest co-host (see #11, November 27, 2016) and may also hear him fortnightly on the Diddly Dum podcast. He also took part in one of the longest ever chats on our previous podcast, Who Wars (see #25, March 8, 2015).
Doc talks to Rob about three Doctor Who promotional offers from the 1970s relating to the Weetabix and Typhoo brands. How did these go down in the school yard? What was Doc's favourite? And what is the statute of limitations when it comes to offers of free Daleks?

Dave's been back in Australia for less than 12 hours after his UK journey, but already the Melbourne-Sydney Skype line is running hot as he discusses his picks for the 13th Doctor with Rob. All up they discuss 21 potential new Doctors. Some serious, some not. Some male, some female. From the bookie's favourite to some names you've likely never heard suggested for the role before, there's something for everyone in this quick-fire episode. We hope you like it.

Are the worst Doctor Who stories really as bad as their reputations suggest they are?
It's time to don your breathing apparatus, roll up your sleeves and join a team of ten intrepid - and slightly irrational - authors, as they head to the bottom of the barrel in a quest to uncover the worst the series has to offer, and to find out if those apples really are as rotten as they're painted.
On the way, we'll meet the paving slab with the inappropriate love life, the pantomime horse that leaked green stuff all over Janet Fielding's dress, and the Dalek mutant with the phallic mane...
Edited by J.R. Southall with Jon Arnold, Matt Barber, Christopher Bryant, Michael S. Collins, John Davies, Tony Green, Jim Hall, Brendan Jones, and Beth Ward.
