This week is the second of our Burning Issues series – trying to provide answers and debate around some of the touchstones that have cropped up during a past Doctor Who Podcast.

Today we have been charged by ALMANAC (A Love and Monsters Appreciation nnnnddd Activity Club) to get to the bottom of an issue.  Love and Monsters, the first true Doctor-lite episode in the modern era of the program – is it comedy genius or not worthy of the logo?

Tasked to discuss this issue are Trevor, James and Michele.

As always, we want the listeners of The DWP to decide this stories fate. Get your thoughts in to feedback@thedoctorwhopodcast.com“>feedback@thedoctorwhopodcast.com.

This week the first in our series of Burning Issues – unresolved questions posed on the Doctor Who Podcast in previous episodes that we hope to be able to provide answers for.

The first of these is in response to a statement Tom made on a previous DWP – that the classic series story Genesis of the Daleks should be “put in a box and buried”, further stating it was the worst story of the first twenty years of the program.

Such an assertion could not go unchallenged.  So we have put Tom on trial in this episode – he must answer for his most heinous crime.  The case for the defence and prosecution will be set, then it will be up to you, our wonderful listeners to decide on the verdict.  Let us know at feedback@thedoctorwhopodcast.com“>feedback@thedoctorwhopodcast.com just where Genesis of the Daleks should sit in the history of the show.

We bring you a very special episode of the DWP this week –James spoke to DVD value-added-material producer, Mr Ed Stradling.  Ed is responsible for producing a ridiculously high number of extra features that have been included on Doctor Who DVDs, the first of which saw the likes of Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss talk about Earthshock all the way back in 2003!  Ed also talks about Ian Levene’s project to re-construct Planet of the Giants back into the four part-story originally conceived, the results of which appear on the DVD, and discusses rumours about missing stories being found.

So sit down with a  cuppa tea, put your feet up and listen toJames and Ed talk Doctor Who for half an hour!
