I enjoyed making this podcast : a reaction to Tom Baker being made an MBE, it’s a look at the various Who types who been honoured so. There’ll be some names in there that’ll surprise ‘em :)

I keep forgetting to share by cheery Doctor Who podcast on socials. I believe it’s the done thing.
It’s lots of fun if you like that duet if thing. I’m giving a positive assessment of The Ark right now, aided by @markaldridge.info :

Sad to learn yesterday that Susan Vale, an unassuming, daft, extremely likeable comedian, equally at home doing a surprise end-of-set tap dance or a killer pun, died yesterday. I’d not seen her for a while but she played @xsmalarkey.com regularly back in the day. She was a very nice, kind woman.

So that lovely TV legend Peter Purves gave me an extra episode on his podcast : here I am talking acting and comedy and very little Who, which is a refreshing change -

Sad news: Gregory de Polnay, Dixon of Dock Green regular and the incomparable D84 in Doctor Who’s Robots of Death has died aged 82. He was a lovely man and an excellent actor and renowned drama teacher.

Car trip North earlier and the conclusion to the epic Missing Episodes trilogy. How wonderful that speculation can be so erudite and fun.
It’s a delightful game that will never tire.👏🏿
Plus the episode background information is brilliant.👍🏿
Agree or not, it’s entertaining. Give it a whirl.

❤️❤️➕🟦
🚙📻
Happy Doctor Who.
The third part of my missing episodes podcast will drop at midday. There’s a lot of it :)
AND it’s got Russell T Davies’ choices.

Back in May of this year, @tobyhadoke.bsky.social
launched his ‘Quatermass Experiment’ book with a great interview by Abby Cook from Blue Peter. What a beautiful book and you can see how much work has gone into writing it. Thanks Toby I can see how much love you have for the TV series.
