Chris (from the UK) & Matt (from the US) discuss a Doctor Who novel each month, from a variety of ranges. Read along as we explore the written worlds... 📚 https://andwbcp.libsyn.com/

'Doctor Who: Twelve Angels Weeping' (2018) was yet another fantastic anthology book set in the Whoniverse. My favourite stories were probably the Cyberman one and the one with the Ood and the heist. Oh and the Weeping Angels one, that felt like a real threat again.

We've got some amazing talent joining us for Writing the Occult: Time & Place on 5 September - people like this guy ⬇️ Chris Hawton firmly believes it’s the book range that got him through the “wilderness years” of no Doctor Who on TV... 🧵⬇️

A wonderful collection of essays looking at how Doctor Who has engaged with political issues during its long history, sometimes successfully, sometimes poorly. The perfect illustration of how the show has always been political. Engagingly written and well-argued. Recommended.

OTD 1966: Sixty years ago today, the events of three Doctor Who stories intersect The War Machines (ends) The Faceless Ones (ends) The Evil of the Daleks (begins) When lovely Ben and Polly enter the TARDIS, then leave the Doctor much later yet on the same day, then the TARDIS gets nicked!

The War Machines final scene – the Doctor (William Hartnell) at the TARDIS, met by beautiful Polly and Ben (all wearing fabulous hats, but adorable sailor Ben’s wins)The Evil of the Daleks Doctor Who Complete History montage – the Doctor (Patrick Troughton) looking troubled, Jamie and Victoria holding tight, Victorians Maxtible and Waterfield, the Emperor Dalek towering over all

Happy July! This month, we’re joining the First Doctor, Barbara, Ian, & Vicki in 19th century China as we read “The Eleventh Tiger” by David A. McIntee. Part of the Past Doctor Adventure range, it was originally published in May 2004. Happy reading! 💙💙➕📚

Doctor Who
The Eleventh Tiger
By David A. McInteeComic preview by Mike Collins, originally appearing in Doctor Who Magazine issue 343. 'May you live in interesting times.'

The TARDIS crew have seen many different eras. When they arrive in China in 1865, they find banditry, rebellion, and foreign oppression rife. Trying to maintain order are the British Empire and the Ten Tigers of Canton, the most respected martial arts masters in the world.
There is more to chaos than mere human violence and ambition.

Can legends of ancient vengeance be coming true? Why does everyone lan meets already know who he is? The Doctor has his suspicions, but he is occupied by challenges of his own. Soon the travellers must learn that sometimes the greatest danger is not from the enemy, but from the heart.

In interesting times, love can be a weakness, hatred an illusion, order chaos, and ten Tigers not enough.

This adventure features the First Doctor and lan, Barbara and Vicki.

I pretty much owe my writing career to Justin Richards and I'm grateful to have also counted him as a friend. He always acted with kindness, humour and modesty, and I've long admired - and will continue to admire - his exceptional talent and work ethic as a writer. An example to us all. RIP.

Justin with other pals at my wedding.

Justin Richards was one of the key figures of the Wilderness Years, as a prolific and reliable writer and by curating what might be the high point of Doctor Who literature with the mid to late EDAs. All that while being a total gentleman you never heard a bad word about. A genuine loss to Who.

Snaps for Matt’s Eighth Doctor poem on the recent @andwbcpodcast.bsky.social! Loved Matt’s half-human explanation! Fun episode! Give it a listen people!
