Flight Through Entirety pin-up Nathan Bottomley joins me to be nine kinds of clever about the BBC Books 35th anniversary novel, 1998's The Infinity Doctors. The dreamy hunk Bottomley is always a joy to speak with and I hope y'all enjoy this little chat. I know today's not special for any of you, but it's special for me. Just don't ask me how old I am now.

Join us for one last episode of The High Council, as Ryan and I battle it out once and for all, to see who is truly the higher.

This has grave, but oddly entertaining implications for our chat about Jim Mortimore's unpublished Past Doctors novel Burning Artemis, which crept out into the world in the year 2000 as Campaign.

Stay tuned at the end for the VORLD-VIDE PREMIER of the new single "That's Mortimore" by THE VALEYARDBIRDS...

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

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.

More incoherent ass-casting from two exceedingly high gentlemen who want, despite their extreme limitations, to tell you all about 1993's aborted 30th anniversary special written by Adrian Rigelsford, for Tom Baker and Rik Mayall.

And stay tuned for the world premiere of "Let's Kill the Doctor Again" by... Vervoid Revolver.

This time we are once again veering off-course and looking at a different Doctor in fiction, this time the fourth Doctor who appears in a tale written by...the fourth Doctor, Tom Baker. I'm joined by the potty-mouthed irreverent scamp Harry from a famous 80's prog band to discuss this bizarre entry into the world of written Who. This is very much NSFW, for which I'm very sorry. It's all Harry's fault. He leads me astray, as you'll hear...
