Doctor Who: We're All Stories in the End

Arts EN ↓ 83 episodes

We're all just stories in the end. It's as true for the Doctor as it is for any of us. If, like me, you’ve grown up reading the Target novelisations, the Virgin New Adventures, the BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures, the New Series Adventures, and a whole heap of standalone fiction, then this is the show for you. I'm joined by some of the most interesting authors, editors and podcasters and each episode is devoted to one of the hundreds of Doctor Who books that have kept the TARDIS in flight when there's no new TV series in our immediate future...

Birthright by Nigel Robinson 01.01.2023 1:33:40

Welcome to the latest episode of We're All Stories in the End, and this month's wilderness-era Doctor Who novel is 1993's New Adventure: Birthright by Nigel Robinson. The Doctor has gone. Ace has vanished. The TARDIS is dying. Bernice is all alone. (For at least the first 109 pages...) Iain -and Agent Orange- are joined by Dr. Matt Barber (which is probably an anagram of "Master") as well as Kevin...

Beltempest by Jim Mortimore 01.12.2022 49:41

Jim Mortimore was, for my money at least, one of the best writers to contribute to the Virgin New Adventures, but let's be honest, his only Eighth Doctor Adventure, Beltempest, is a flawed diamond at best. It seems as if everyone has problems with it, and as you'll hear, they are usually the same problems. But I'm not here to summarise my own show, and you'll just have to listen to it. You can fol...

Bad Therapy by Matthew Jones 01.11.2022 1:18:40

One of the most fondly-regarded of the Virgin Doctor Who: New Adventures books (unless you're the distinctly homophobic fan I tried talking to about the books in Canterbury early in 1997. You were reading Cold Fusion, and you'd given up on the NA's because, and I quote, "it's all about how to get boyfriends now isn't it?") Anyway, it's obviously a total classic . I hope you enjoy this fond tribute...

Autumn Mist by David A. McIntee 01.10.2022 44:03

Join the team as we look at David A. McIntee's 1999 EDA, Autumn Mist, in which the Eighth Doctor has it off with a faerie queen. Yes, it's time to explore the lives and loves of a Sidhe-devil.

Anachrophobia by Johnathan Morris 01.09.2022 1:12:35

Enter a war-ravaged world of creeping terror with the gang from the Secret Library of St. John the Beheaded as we discuss Johnny Morris' 2002 EDA Anachrophobia. The Eighth Doctor, Fitz and Anji escape a struggling TARDIS but find themselves caught in a very localised time war... There's a really enjoyable interview with DK, a new voice on the show, and an afterword from a VERY special guest. Follo...

All-Consuming Fire by Andy Lane 01.08.2022 1:09:55

This month we dip into one of the absolute fan-favourites from the Virgin era, with Andy Lane's All-Consuming Fire, published in 1994. Elementary, my dears... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Alien Bodies by Lawrence Miles 01.07.2022 1:09:12

Prelude: We're All Stories in the End 12.06.2022 1:08:33
