50 years ago today, Target Books republished David Whittaker's 'Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks' under the snappier title 'Doctor Who and the Daleks', with new iconic cover art by Chris Achilléos.

Some novel adaptations can't be summed up in 5 minutes - some need an episode all of their own! To celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Greatest Film Ever Made, we sat down to watch The Muppet Christmas Carol together and recorded a live commentary track. To watch along with our conversation, press play on the "In Loving Memory of Jim Henson" title.
Merry Christmas! For our first series finale, we're reading the Greatest Book Ever Written - A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Or, to give this novella its full title: A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas.

It was on a dreary... morning in November when we beheld the accomplishment of our toils: an episode dedicated to the Greatest Book ever written, Mary Shelley's 1818 masterpiece: Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.
As a Halloween Special we're sharing the audio from an episode of Chris's podcast, Morningside FM, in which Mark joined him for a discussion on Kate Coscarelli's long out of print novelisation of the classic 1979 sci-fi horror film 'Phantasm'. (With a special, newly recorded breakfast section, obviously...)

It's September, which means only one thing: it's finally time for us to discuss The Greatest Book Ever Written. Listen to the first part of our discussion of J.R.R. Tolkien’s immortal masterpiece, 'The Lord of the Rings', while we enjoy Beren's Potato Bread and vine tomatoes.
"Perhaps a thing that could be thought to have a multitude of meanings gains strength and importance from the ambiguities?"
Join us as we make the imaginative leap into the ancient mind as we examine the rorschach blot that is Alan Garner's phenomenal 'Boneland'. Happy Pear Breakfast Burrito recipe: https://fb.watch/e1eYH2M4mr/
