Doctor Who Literature's final season continues with the great Dave Rennie from the A Kettle and Some String podcast. This week we are discussing the penultimate (canonical) Colin Baker novelization, Eric Saward's gruesomely violent yet oddly touching novelization of a Season 22 Cybermen story...of heavily disputed parentage.

Doctor Who Literature extends a warm welcome to Anthony and Alasdair from the brilliant Too Broad and Too Deep podcast, which covers Jason's beloved Doctor Who New Adventures novels of the 1990s.

This week we are discussing Dragonfire, the final story of Doctor's 24th season, the swan song for Bonnie Langford's Mel (until the 21st century), and the debut of Ace. There's a lot to discuss here, and Anthony & Alasdair bring their "A" game.

You can find Alasdair here and here, and you can find Anthony here.

Jim Sangster wrote and recorded this week's song.

Graeme' Burk's The Comics Code is well worth its seven episodes, and not only because Jason's voice acting is featured.

Welcome back to Doctor Who Literature: The Final Season, as we cover the final run of Target novelizations from January 1989 through the eventual end of the line in the early 1990s.

Joining Jason this week is a first-time DWLit guest but no stranger at all to Doctor Who podcasting in general, it's the prolific and legendary Melvin Pena.

Jim Sangster is extra busy this week with three separate musical/comedy additions to the episode.

Welcome to a special episode of Doctor Who Literature. This week we pay tribute to former Doctor Who script editor, TV writer, and novelization author Christopher H. Bidmead, who passed away in August 2025. Joining Jason for a new interview this week is "Full Circle" writer Andrew Smith.

We are also pleased to present three excerpts from our archives:

--An interview with Jonathan Blum from our Logopolis episode.

--An interview with Graeme Burk from our Castrovalva episode.

--Jason's review of the Frontios novelization.

Doctor Who Literature is produced by Jim Sangster and Jason Miller. We will return with the first episode of our final season in November 2025.

Doctor Who Literature is on break until the New Year, but Jason and Callie come back for one night to discuss this year's Doctor Who Christmas Special: Joy to the World, by Steven Moffat. Warning, this is a FULL SPOILER chat so don't listen until you've watched the episode first. Callie as always does not hold back on any opinion, and Jason as always has slight trouble staying on topic.

Happy American Thanksgiving to my listeners in the States.

For a Sylvester McCoy novelization on Doctor Who Literature, ya gotta have two guests, not just one. Jim Sangster and Jason Davis, both huge behind-the-scenes influences on the show, come together for the first time as we tackle Paradise Towers, the second serial from Doctor Who's controversial, divisive -- and delightful -- 24th season.

The vocals for this week's opening number are by Antony Owen. Music arranged by Jim Sangster.

Having a first-time guest last week worked so well, that we've done it again this week: Jim Allenby from the What's in the Box? podcast, makes his Doctor Who Literature debut.

Our story for the week is The Smugglers, but Jim A. and I also recorded our conversation on November 23, 2024: Doctor Who's 61st anniversary, and, coincidentally, the 40th anniversary of Jason discovering the show to begin with. Jim A. and I discuss An Unearthly Child, our respective fandom origin stories, and the special edition announced on the anniversary and being released in December 2024: The War Games, in color, and with new footage!
