This week we dive back into the very end of the Wilderness Years, in the days around the time that the BBC announced the television series would be going back into production, to revisit the animated serial "The Scream of the Shalka" starring Richard E. Grant as the NINTH Doctor, Sophie Okonedo as Alison, and Derek Jacobi as the Master (...sort of!). It's a fascinating chapter in the history of Doctor Who!

But first we've got some news to report from the worlds of Big Finish audio, film, and missing episodes!

100!!!!

That's right, Doctor Who A(uton) to Z(ygon) has been going for 100 episodes now! And to celebrate, we've got a fun episode for you!

We've recorded a LIVE episode commentary! We're talking about the Series 4 episode "The Unicorn and the Wasp" starring David Tennant and Wasp"! The Doctor and Donna meet Agatha Christie and discover the truth behind her mysterious disappearance in 1926. So cue up the episode, start it at the same time we do, and enjoy our commentary!

But first, we have news to talk about, and BOY is it BIG news! Two long lost episodes starring William Hartnell have been recovered! We'll talk about that, plus some Big Finish and Comics news.

Thank you all for listening for the past 100 episodes! Hope you'll join us for 100 more!

This week Josh, Ashley and Alan return to the exciting days of the Wilderness Years, when all sorts of things were happening to keep the Doctor Who franchise active and vital. In the early 2000s, one of the BBC's innovations was doing animated webcasts. A Cyberman story called "Real Time" was their second one, starring Colin Baker, Maggie Stables, and Yee Jee Tso. It is historically significant for a number of reasons. Let's just say ... opinions differ on how good this one is!

First, though, we have some news to get caught up on, including announcement of a new 4k release of the 1996 TV Movie!
