Worst Classic Stories
A new month means a new LIST MAKERS episode!
This time, we look at what we consider our WORST stories in all of classic Doctor Who. If you thought some of our shows presented hard choices lately, this one was no different!
If you’ve never heard a List Makers episode before, these are 20m chats based around making a list related to a Doctor Who topic and discussing our similarities, differences, and whatever else comes up during the chat!
Suggestions for future lists to be drawn from The Hat of Rassilon are welcome; get in touch!

Come and spend an hour with the guys, talking everything from Doctor Who to their favourite sandwiches.

Slipback
It's the end of September and, as promised last episode, Rob and Dave have read the Target novelisation of Eric Saward's 1985 Doctor Who radio play, Slipback.
In this episode they run through the novel, blow-by-blow, then have a discussion about it. Naturally, they also discuss the radio play too, for some handy comparison.
Before then, they discuss some interesting news from the past month, some short topics and, at the end of the show, talk about some non-Doctor Who content they've consumed of late. A couple of listener emails round out the episode.

Primary Sources – February 1986
Welcome to the 24th and, for now, FINAL episode of the podcast we’ve been dropping on the feed every month in between our regular monthly shows.
In today’s podcast, Rob sits down with his Doctor Who Show co-host, Dave, to discuss the letters from both Doctor Who Magazine from February of 1986 and some classic issues of the Sonic Screwdriver fanzine from the Doctor Who Club of Victoria.
Yes folks, this is a double episode to end the run on (for now). This is Doctor Who without a safety net. The conversations could go anywhere the guest wants them to go.
This is Primary Sources!

Dennis Spooner
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.
