Father Time (Synopsis of the BBC Books EDA)
This episode is a full synopsis of the 2001 BBC Books Eighth Doctor novel, Father Time.
Given the book’s age—almost 25 years old—we know many listeners might not have read it recently, or perhaps ever.
So we're here to help! With Father Time being discussed on Sunday’s main show, this episode isn’t a discussion itself, but a chapter-by-chapter breakdown of the novel’s events—perfect for refreshing your memory or getting up to speed before the conversation.

Doctor Who guest stars we'd date (The List Makers)
Top Doctor Who guest stars we'd date (The List Makers)
In possibly the strangest episode of the List Makers ever committed to tape, this month we push the boat out - and then some - to answer a (modified) suggestion from a listener, plucked from Turlough's Hat of Rassilon. Who are the top Doctor Who guest stars we'd date? Why would we date them? Where would we go for said dates? What would your picks be? Why not write in and let us know?

Before then, all the usual news and short topics you’ve come to expect – including surprise showrunner talk from RTD, and new trailers for Season 2 of the show. In Short Topics, Mike covers the changes coming to Gallifrey One (the world's largest and longest-running annual Doctor Who fan convention), in the years ahead.
Later on, after the Paradise 5 section, we have a ton of listener feedback and what we’ve been watching this past month. Something for everyone! Fill your boots!
