Who On Earth is… the Fourth Doctor?

Who am I? The alien wanderer… the clown with a ruthless streak… the melancholy Time Lord trying to avoid returning home? Throw in a bag of jelly babies, a robot dog, some very attractive companions…

296: Shada, Finally Unfinished Doctor Who Classic?

To celebrate the release of the famous “incomplete” #DoctorWho classic Shada, Christian Cawley, James Baldock and Simon Danes take a look at the new version, and compare it with its predecessors…

…and ask the question: is Shada actually any good? And was Douglas Adams really “all that”? We also touch upon the 1992 version, the 2003 version from Big Finish and BBCi, as well as the Gareth Roberts novelization.

Oh, and look out for the story of a young Simon Danes writing to Christopher “Skagra” Neame…

We also spend a few moments discussing the Fourth Doctor, with news that both Matthew Waterhouse and Tom Baker are interested in reuniting in a Big Finish drama, and that Tom’s Doctor tops the eBay Doctor Who merchandise sales chart.

Along with our recommendations, we’ve also got an impassioned plea from Christian who is exasperated by the actions of certain fans looking for nude photos of Jenna Coleman and Karen Gillan…
