This month, we’re diving into the second Colin Baker season, collectively known as The Trial of a Time Lord, but also known to many fans as the individual stories, The Mysterious Planet, Mindwarp, Terror of the Vervoids, and The Ultimate Foe.

Over the past five years, friend of the podcast Dylan Rees has worked at compiling the complete story of Reeltime Pictures, from the earliest days of its acclaimed Myth Makers interview tapes, through to the production of ambitious dramas and documentaries.
The resulting book tells the story of Keith Barnfather’s passion and dedication to develop a valuable archive of material - starting in the days of VHS through to DVD, Blu-ray, streaming and downloads - which chronicles the complete production history of classic Doctor Who.
In tonight's episode Dylan sits down with Rob to discuss the book; what inspired it, what it was like to write, and even where a complete newbie to Reeltime could start with the archive.
The book will be launched at the Whooverville 16 Convention on 30 August 2025 in Derby, UK.

For our 53rd episode of THE LIST MAKERS, long time listener Dylan Mooney has asked us for our top Master stories. Given the character has been around 54 years, and used regularly for much of that time, it gives us quite a lot of stories to choose our lists from!

Not a bad idea in principle but for me it would work better as a multi-hosted show & reading comments that ARE relevant to the post. For me personally there were too many comments that weren't related to topic. KBO !
personally with Ryan and yazz I think yazz is a lesbian and Ryan is actually into yazz's sister
