Power of 3

He's back - and it's about time! Are we talking about the Doctor? Or David Tennant? Maybe Russell T Davies? The Meep himself? Whatever, we don't mind - Doctor Who returns to our TV screens in The Star Beast today, 25 November, and to celebrate, Steevie, Dave and Kenny turn back the clock to look at not just the original comic, but also the Big Finish audio adaptation. And - we've two guests, inclu...

It's the 10th anniversary of Doctor Who's 50th anniversary! We mark the occasion by turning back the clock to 2013, and explore the joy that is Destiny of the Doctor, a story in 11 parts, featuring each of the Doctor's incarnations at that point. Dave and Kenny go through each episode, story by story, and share their thoughts on it. And, to make it a party, they're joined by producer John Ainswort...

Happy Doctor Who Day! It's November 23, and to mark the occasion, we're turning back the clock by a decade. Where did you first see The Day of the Doctor?

Let's find out - and it's totally unedited from start to finish!

It's another Tenth Doctor travelling solo adventure for us today. We meet author Christopher Cooper, while Kenny and Dave discuss the return of the Krillitanes. It's a reunion, but not at school!

Today, we put one of the most popular and highly-rated BBC Books under the microscope. Dave and Kenny take a look at 2009's Prisoner of the Daleks, released during the 'specials' year, before David Tennant departed as the Doctor. We chat with author Trevor Baxendale - with a guest appearance from Graham O'Brien himself, Bradley Walsh!

Life's always a gas when the Slitheen are around... and this is one entertaining novel!

We meet producer AnneMarie Walsh giving a very rare interview, character artist Mar...

We've reached the current (for now!) Doctor, with the fourteenth incarnation of the Time Lord. Since we don't have any books featuring him, we've instead got a look at his first full story, Liberation of the Daleks, from Doctor Who Magazine. Dave and Kenny love this strip, and we're joined by artist Lee Sullivan, who took time out from illustrating episode 14, to have a chat. What a star!

"I've got the key, I've got the secret..." So sang the Urban Cookie Collective. One thing we do know is that they didn't have the key to open Vault 13, and today, Kenny and Dave discuss this novel, initially aimed at younger readers. What did the pair think? And they're also joined by the author, David Solomons (who's also Scottish).

All bow before us! Not that we've got tickets on ourselves, but this episode of the Power of 3 is all about Royal Blood. Kenny and Dave discuss this novel, featuring the Twelfth Doctor, before having a chat with author Una McCormack. And why does Una mention Clara's cleavage? It's not what you think!

We've reached the second Scottish Doctor Who, as we delve into a story with a sting in the tale (getting?). We speak with writer Steve Cole about this Tenth Doctor and Martha Jones novel, which features the return of fan (and Tennant) favourite, the Zygons. Join Kenny and Dave as they celebrate this book - and who does Dave stop Kenny from phoning, as they look to answer a question?

The Power of 3's look at Doctor Who novels materialises (fully) in the 21st century era of the show. Today, Kenny and the returning Dave discuss The Stealers of Dreams, and we hear from author Steve Lyons

"War changes everyone... even the Doctor" - so declares the cover of Engines of War. This is the only novel to date which features the War Doctor, and today, Kenny and Matt discuss this book and its impact. Author George Mann shares his creative process on this one - and the first draft of it is one that NO ONE will ever be able to read...

It's been eight episodes in eight days so far, so Dave's going to have the day off. Kenny is joined by his Pieces of Eighth semi-regular co-host Matt Michael to discuss the EIghth Doctor novel The Book of the Still, written by Paul Ebbs. Get reading for a fascinating chat about how Paul came to write the book - and also, what Matt thinks of his original DWM review of the novel more than 20 years l...

We arrive in the era of the New Adventures for today's episode of The Power of 3. We discuss the 17th New Adventure, Birthright, and have a chat with author Nigel Robinson about it. And he reveals more about Muldwich!

It's the joy of six on The Power of 3 today. The Sixth Doctor and Melanie Bush meet for the first time in today's adventure, Business Unusual, as we're joined by author Gary Russell. Throw in twin Autons, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, and continuity references, and there's plenty to discuss.

Remember, remember, the Fifth of November... as it's the day we release our look at Zeta Major, the Fifth Doctor Previous Doctors Adventure from the BBC. Written by Simon Messingham, he joins Kenny and Dave - TWICE - to chat about it. Twice? How can this be? Tune in, find out!

Our anniversary adventure takes us to London on our third day of celebrating Doctor Who's 60th anniversary. Dave and Kenny celebrate the Third Doctor adventure Amorality Tale, and we have a chat with author David Bishop - a New Zealander now living in Scotland - about it. And, trivia fans... Kenny's half-New Zealander (sort of), on his father's side!

Our celebration of 60 years of Doctor Who continues, as we turn back the clock to one of the final Missing Adventures to be published by Virgin. We have a chat with David A McIntee about writing this adventure, in which Koschei (we find out the correct pronunciation too!) becomes the Master, after an emotional encounter with the Second Doctor.

The 60th anniversary month begins, and we're looking at a story from the Doctors each day, in novel form. We start with a rare chat with the prolific Christopher Bulis, who discusses his novel The Sorceror's Apprentice, from 1995. Join Dave and Kenny from a trip to the magical land of Elbyon...
