While Dave is jet-setting around Europe, Rob welcomes Dylan Rees (DOCTOR WHO: TOO HOT FOR TV) back to the podcast. Dylan has brought today's main topic: 1960s Doctor Who writer, and sometime script editor, Dennis Spooner. The guys keep the discussion light, so anyone can tune in and learn a little about Dennis and his stories without feeling overwhelmed by someone they perhaps aren't familiar with, writing black and white television almost 60 years ago. Before then, the guys discuss some news from the past month, some short topics, and some great listener feedback. We really do have the best listeners, folks. Hope you enjoy the episode!
