    Ben and Mark throw open the doors of the On the Timelash bookshop for a boozy book launch with Dylan Rees, author of the fabulous book, Myths and Legends: The Reeltime Pictures Story. The lads chat about how Keith Barnfather, Nicholas Briggs, and many more have created a massive people's history of Doctor Who, courtesy of the Myth Makers interviews, deep dive documentaries and spinoff dramas.

    And then, in the second half, Dylan chooses a "classic" and "new" Myth Makers for the three of us to discuss; Sylvester McCoy's 1994 interview and Eric Saward's 2005 interview. How has the range changed in the intervening 11 years?

    You can buy Dylan's book here.

    You can rent or buy the whole Reeltime Pictures catalogue from here.

    "Have we learned nothing from Torchwood?"

    Mark is joined by Si Hart, host of The Library of Impossible Things, who submits his five choices for the tinsel tunnel. It's a wide-ranging discussion that often comes back to reminding us what it is to be a child watching Doctor Who.

    Under discussion: "Dark" Doctor Who, dodgy tea towels, Tom Baker being all teeth and no curls, the weakest story in season 13, and much more.

    Also: Who put Ncuti Gatwa in a hydraulic press? And what has Si got against Prentis Hancock?

    You can see the boxed set that Mark and Si are talking about here.

    The squashed Ncuti Gatwa can be bought here.

    "Amazon Who? You Plonker!"

    Mark invites enigmatic artist and autograph hunter, @artfullyliam to submit his five choices for the tinsel tunnel. Their discussion takes in whether Doctor Who should be a prick, which fans ought to see an optician and explore why Sutekh, Omega and the Rani didn't work as well as the Daleks, Sarah Jane Smith and The Master.

    But which Doctor Who companion went from sounding like Jimmy Corkhill to sounding like Lord Mountbatten?
