The Tripods 40th Anniversary | The Music of Ken Freeman | Interview with Jim Baker


We take a sidestep from Doctor Who this time and enter the world of The Tripods television series, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this month.

We'll be joined by Chris Jones, author of the forthcoming book "All For Nothing?", which will be released at a special Tripods fan event next week. The event will also feature appearances from all four principal cast members, together for the very first time since the show was filmed, as well as other cast and production crew.

We are also joined by Tripods superfan Will Hadcroft, better known to Doctor Who fans by his audio dramas The Resurrection Plant and Dark Contract.

To "cap" it off, we'll have a special focus on the sensational soundtrack for The Tripods, composed and arranged by Ken Freeman.


Theme music by Joe Kraemer and Ken Freeman.
