Eldrad Must Die! - REVIEW




The featured story for review this episode is Eldrad Must Die! by Marc Platt.

However, Dwayne starts out with a little rant after having seen the documentary "Showman - The Life of John Nathan-Turner" on the Season 26 Blu-ray box set.

The documentary included excerpts from the JNT Memoirs, released on Big Finish in 2002.

Opinionated fandom about stories and storytelling styles is one thing, but when it gets personal against a show runner, is attacking an individual as a human being really an acceptable way to express your opinion?

Our quick tip is The Lives of Captain Jack Volume 3, to be released later in March 2020.

Episode Three: Doctor Who - The Reaping (review) with guest, author Joseph Lidster


Dwayne is joined by special guest Joe Lidster, writer of the focus story for this time, Doctor Who – The Reaping, starring Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant.
But first Dwayne explains the seeming contradiction in Who continuity with the recent season 12 TV episode “The Haunting of the Villa Diodati” featuring the 13th Doctor and “Mary’s Story”, the Big Finish audio featuring the 8th Doctor, both “seemingly” taking place at the same time with the same characters. Many thanks to Joe for joining us for an in-depth discussion of his work, including: Doctor Who - The Rapture Doctor Who – The Reaping Doctor Who – The Gathering Sapphire & Steel – Daisy Chain Sapphire & Steel – The Mystery of the Missing Hour… plus, his TV work on Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures. Intro & Outro music by Husky by the Geek. Be sure to listen to Doctor Who - Eldrad Must Die! in preparation for our next episode.
