Mark Gatiss’s contribution to Doctor Who this year is rather different, the story Sleep No More is told entirely through found footage which only adds to it’s claustrophobic atmosphere. I myself enjoyed it, but as you’ll hear it’s splitting others opinions.

The Zygons returned to the show this week with Doctor Who: The Zygon Invasion, Peter Harness somehow managed to write an urban thriller inspired by the current terrorist threat but also by cold war paranoia and Invasion of The Body Snatchers, next week’s show will be at least 24 hours late as I’ll be travelling when Dr Who airs but hopefully if everything goes to plan will include not only a review of The Zygon Inversion but also a brief chat with some visiting fellow Dr Who podcasters. End Them...

In a highly unusual move the “great” british press actully got a plot leak correct for a change and this episode began with the Doctor meeting Davros as a child, it’s enough to drive a timelord into hiding and Stephen Moffat’s epic opening episode certainly gives his friends a task to find him, Missy is back too thankfully a tad less insane and a smidge more scheming.

Just over a week till Doctor Who returns as I type this but just enough time for a taster of this year’s Whooverville convention. As ever Stephen Hatcher and his team put together a fine event, this time with even more dealers than before so I can home with quite a few target books for the shelf. But as ever there was room for podcasters to talk to the guests I was joined by Jean of The Staggering Stories podcast to talk to Richard Marson(TV Producer and writer of The Life & Scandalous Times...
