Program needs over the next two weeks has turned this look at The Ark, a 1966 episode from Doctor Who's third season, into a two-part episode of Doctor Who Literature.

This week, a conversation with Lelon Stoldt from the InDOCtrination podcast. Lelon and his daughters are not quite up to The Ark yet, but perhaps this conversation will reveal what at least one of them will think about the story/book.

And a review of 73 Yards, which at the time of release is the most recently broadcast episode of Doctor Who.

For this week we are going back to the Jazz Age, with Doctor Who-specific musical accompaniment by Jim Sangster.

Please give a warm Doctor Who Literature welcome to Keith Say, a first-time guest here but a long-time guest on Trap One.

One of the two of us really enjoyed the novelization of Slipback, the first radio-only episode of Doctor Who.

The other one of us hated this book. Hated, hated, hated this book. Calling to mind one particular review by the great Roger Ebert.

It's late April 2024, but Doctor Who Literature takes us back to mid-February, and to the Gallifrey One convention in Los Angeles, where Mark from the Trap One Podcast joined me over dinner for a My Dinner With Andre-style conversation about the 1969 Doctor Who serial The Seeds of Death, and its 1986 novelization by Terrance Dicks.

You can view My Dinner With Andre in full here.

The Proclaimers appeared on Late Night With David Letterman in March 1989.

Big Blue Marble was a long-running 1970s/'80s PBS series produced in part by Rick Berman (yes, that Rick Berman). You can view an episode here. The opening theme (sampled in this episode) features lyrics by Berman, music by Paul Baillargeon, and vocals by Whitney Kershaw.

This week Doctor Who Literature is NOT covering a Target book. 1986 was a bumper year for Doctor Who fiction, and, in the States, Ballantine Books got in on the action with both the man in the blue box, AND the still going-strong Choose Your Own Adventure craze, with a series of six books in the Find Your Fate series.

Joining me to read through -- and play -- this book is my old friend Tony Whitt of the Doctor Who Target Book Club Podcast, without which this show might not exist. Tony never holds back on his opinions, and we both have a lot to say. And not just about Doctor Who.
