Episode description

I'm joined by Mike Robinson and Mark Givens to look at the tenure of 7th Doctor companion, Ace. We look at the relationship with Doctor Who and American public televsion, the socio-cultural context that made Ace a companion ahead of her time, and how that contrasted to some of her predecessors (I should note we recorded this before the news of Bonnie Langford's return to the show!)

As you heard in the pre-credits, I pay a brief tribute to a deceased friend, Boz. There is currently a GoFundMe for his widow. Any assistance would be hugely appreciated. Here is the web address - https://www.gofundme.com/f/for-lavinia-in-memory-of-boz?utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&utm_content=undefined&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_term=undefined
