Andrew Smith began pitching Doctor Who story ideas to the production office when he was 14 years old, and was commissioned to write "Full Circle" for season 18 of the classic series, introducing the character of Adric. 

Andrew went on to enjoy a 30 year career with the police force, and returned to writing Doctor Who for Big Finish in 2010, becoming one of their most prolific writers, penning stories across almost every range over the last 10 years. 

Andrew joins us to talk about his writing, his research techniques and the life experience he infuses into his storytelling.

The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde (Unabridged)

Listen on Spotify


Listen on YouTube


I think many audiobook listeners would agree that the definitive version of The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde would be the abridged reading by Tom Baker. 

Here is an unabridged version to whet your appetite for the forthcoming Big Finish version due for release in August 2022, adapted by Nicholas Briggs. 

It may sound strange being read by an Australian, but it was written by a Scottsman and set in London so why not? 

Here is a link to the Big Finish Jekyll and Hyde page - https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/jekyll-and-hyde-1506

Loneliness is a Warm Gun by Dwayne Bunney

Listen on Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.



This is a short story I originally started to write as a project for a creative writing evening class I was attending. At that time I had been quite obessed about the details surrounding the Port Arthur Massacre in 1996, and this story, in a way, was a result of my complete lack of comprehension of the crime. 

I structured it deliberately in episodic form (3 parts), and when an opportunity came to pitch it to Big Finish, I inserted the characters of the 5th Doctor and Nyssa (who I swapped the original character "Mary" for). The Doctor Who version was never completed as a pitch only consists of a synopsis and 1 page of story. 

But here is the original story without the Doctor Who elements. I hope you like it. 

This also gives me the opportunity to change the title back to the name I originally intended, because when the text version was published, the publisher insisted on changing the name to Loneliness "OR" a Warm Gun. I was never happy with that. I'm big on story names and I had a very specific reason why I chose this one. Yes, I stole it from The Beatles.
