A quick glance at the Wikipedia entry for Joe Lidster will show that he knows his Doctor Who and related spinoffs. He has written for Big Finish, Torchwood and Sarah Jane Adventures, as well as the Bernice Summerfield ranges. When he isn't writing for them he is producing short stories on, you guessed it, Doctor Who. This incredibly talented and busy man sat down with ourJames recently to talk all things Doctor Who. I am sure you will find this a fascinating interview.

Quite a packed episode this week, a mixture of reviews and some cracking interviews, bringing to a close the second of our special Big Finish related episodes. James and Trevor review the first two stories from Big Finish's range of 7th Doctor "lost" stories - Thin Ice and Crime of the Century. These two stories were to kickstart the proposed Season 27 in 1990, before the axe of cancellation fell on the series and the entire season was abandoned. Now Big Finish have lovingly created these scripts in audio format so all Doctor Who fans can hear what might have been if Doctor Who continued in its televised form into the 1990s. Find out what the boys make of the first two offerings from this very special series of releases from Big Finish. We also have interviews with Sophie Aldred, who played Ace alongside the Seventh Doctor, and also in these new Big Finish audios. Also on the interviewing roster is Beth Chalmers, who plays the new companion Raine Creevey.

The Doctor Who Podcast Episode #83: Review – The Almost People

I almost forgot to add this bit

It is almost time for you to listen to our review of The Almost People. Almost. All you have to do is read this little show note intro to our episode. You should be able to read either all or most of it. We are now almost half way through the show notes. Unless of course you started downloading the episode before reading the shownotes, which probably means you are almost finished. It is too confusing. Almost baffling. Just listen to our review of The Almost People, and see if you understand it. Most of it anyway.
