About this listen

 We're all just stories in the end. It's as true for the Doctor as it is for any of us. If, like me, you’ve grown up reading the Target novelisations, the Virgin New Adventures, the BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures, the New Series Adventures, and a whole heap of standalone fiction, then this is the show for you. I'm joined by some of the most interesting authors, editors and podcasters and each episode is devoted to one of the hundreds of Doctor Who books that have kept the TARDIS in flight when there's no new TV series in our immediate future...

  • Head Games by Steve Lyons

    Head Games by Steve Lyons
    Sep 1 2025

    Shut it, you shabby-looking shit, or I'll gut you with this bookies' pencil-stub.


    That's got your attention, hasn't it? I spend ages writing these episode descriptions and I'm fairly certain that no bugger reads them. Ah, first world problems...


    It's another mega-extended director's cut of a chat this month, as I sit down with Alex Wilcock (a self-confessed Virgin New Adventures supergeek) who even owns a t-shirt with all 61 NA covers proudly on display. We're talking about the 1995 New Adventure Head Games, by Steve Lyons, whose previous book in the range, 1994's Conundrum, is held in the highest regard by virtually everyone who's read it. While we discuss the return of Bonnie Langford's ebullient Bush, a genocide on Detrios, and a fight to the death between Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy (always bet on wiry strength, ferocity and speed over size or waistline) we also learn a lot about Alex's life, his wedding, his childhood and, erm, Liz Truss.


    This is a really fun chat, and that's before we find out where Kev's calling from this time. Enjoy the show, and come and say hi on Bluesky; I'm @theiainmartin.bsky.social

    Happy Endings by Paul Cornell

    What connects cricket, The Mary Whitehouse Experience and November Rain? It can only be the 50th Virgin New Adventure Happy Endings, a uniquely divisive book but a uniquely welcome celebration. Welcome, welcome, and do try not to shag the groom.
