Power of 3

Kenny and John travel back to the 1990s to reminisce about the days of 12 adventures with the current Doctor each year - we're talking about The New Adventures from Virgin Publishing. And no, we're not retreading old ground, with Kenny and Dave having previously discussed some books in 2020! We welcome a special guest to the podcast, with David J Howe, who tells us about how his new book, The Who...

The Power of 3's final podcast of the year sees us have a chat with Blair Mowat, a composer who has worked on Doctor Who on TV, as well as on audio for Big Finish, as well as Class (on TV!) and Torchwood. Blair talks about his career with our Kenny, as they go on a musical journey, which began in Edinburgh.

It's Chriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiistmas! David, John and Kenny are back and getting into the festive spirit with a trio of episodes, one of which has emotional responses for the trio, as they all suffered bereavements around the time of one of these episodes. But we have fun too, as we look at Voyage of the Damned, The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe, and Last Christmas. And Kenny gets...

We go behind the scenes of the Doctor Who - The Collection blu ray releases this week. Kenny has a chat with Peter Crocker about restoring pictures for blu ray and getting them to their best possible quality, and speaks to Richard Bignell about creating the masses of PDF bonus material.

Last week, we brought you interviews with a couple of people involved in created The Curse of Lady Macbeth from the third Ninth Doctor box set from Big Finish. This week, Kenny and David share their thoughts on the trio of tales - and it's fair to say they're more than happy.

The Ninth Doctor's back - and he's back in Scotland! And, if he's in Scotland, then it's up to the Power of 3 to track down some of the people involved, and get them to tell the story of how it came about. So, join Kenny as he meets writer Lizzie Hopley and actress Lucy Goldie.

John and Kenny celebrate the release of the latest Doctor Who animated story, Galaxy 4, with Dave popping by on the space/time telegraph to share his thoughts. Plus, we learn all about the making of the animated story with executive producer Gary Russell, and the restoration of the surviving segment of episode one, and the full print of episode three, with Peter Crocker.

David hosts as the Doctor Who Family Tree makes a welcome return, as he, Tom and Kenny take a look at Dracula: AD 1972. There's various Doctor Who connections, from the script writer to cast members, as the trio give their views on one of the Hammer films which, it's fair to say, isn't given as much love as the others.

We turn the clock back 40 years, to November 1981. Dave and Kenny were still at primary school, Tom was in his late teens, and Doctor Who was back on TV - but, unusually, it was old Doctor Who. The trio discuss their memories of The Face Faces of Doctor Who repeat season, with An Unearthly Child, The Krotons, Carnival of Monsters, The Three Doctors and Logopolis.

Missy - one of the most memorable creations of the Steven Moffat era - is being given an extended lease of life on audio. Big Finish recently released Missy and the Monk, their third box set to star Michelle Gomez as the Master's female incarnation, and this week, Kenny Smith and Dr John Bollan discuss the character. And, we also have three special guests - Roy Gill, Johnny Candon and Joe Kraemer...

And so, it finally comes to an end - the final part of Dalek Universe has been released. Kenny and Dave are briefly joined by Tom as they share their thoughts on this trio of tales featuring the terrifying robot people from outer space.

The news is out - Charley Pollard is returning for a new box set of adventures alongside the Eighth Doctor! Dave and Kenny discuss Charley Pollard - The Further Adventuress (what a great pun - well done, Alan Barnes!), as well as the recent reveal of what's in the Stranded 3 box set. And Kenny gives away NO SPOILERS, despite knowing things.

It's that exciting time again, when BBC Studios reveals which classic season of Doctor Who is next for the blu-ray box set release. And, as you'll know, it's season 17. This week, Kenny and John talk their way through Destiny of the Daleks, City of Death, Creature from the Pit, Nightmare of Eden and The Horns of Nimon, with Dave popping by to share his thoughts.

The Power of 3 does something a little different - once again! This week, Kenny recalls the Target novelisation cover art exhibition, and speaks to the man who organised it, Edward Russell, and one of the collectors who loaned his art, Colin Young. Featuring guest appearances from Tom Harris and David Steel, revealing their favourite book covers

Russell T Davies is back as Doctor Who showrunner - and last week the Power of 3 was the first podcast in the world (most probably) to discuss it. Now that the dust has settled, Kenny chairs as David Steel, Peter Watson and (Dr) John Bollan discuss the ins and outs of the sensational return to the Doctor Who hotseat.

Within minutes of the shock news of Russell T Davies' return to Doctor Who as showrunner being confirmed, Kenny and Tom recorded a quick mini-episode to give their instant reactions. It's fair to say they're both very pleased...

Way back in the mists of time, the Power of Three looked at the debut stories of three Doctors. This week, Kenny and Dave retain their places in the starting line up as they look at Spearhead From Space, The Twin Dilemma and Deep Breath. But there's a new boy in town, as they're joined by the Doctor. That's Dr John... But it's not Smith. Say hello to John Bollan!

It's all change this week on the Power of 3 as Tom and Dave are switched for Lisa and Helen! We go behind the scenes of recent Big Finish Ninth Doctor release Girl, Deconstructed, and find out all about the writing and directing of the story which is set in Dundee. Kenny chats with Lisa McMullin and Helen Goldwyn, about Chris Eccleston, setting the story north of the border, and Dundee accents - a...

The Power of 3 takes a look at a classic trilogy in the 1980s. Peter Davison's in the TARDIS, Mark Strickson's joining as Turlough, and Valentine Dyall is the Black Guardian once more. And there's a change on the team too. One of the boys is missing, and been replaced by a stand-in... But who's out and who's in?

The second Big Finish Ninth Doctor box set - Respond To All Calls - is now available. Kenny and Dave share their thoughts on a fun trio of tales.

The boys are back in town once more, as Tom, David and Kenny are reunited. This week, they're taking some trips in time to discuss a trio of TV adventures related by the fact they have historical characters in them - Charles Dickens, Vincent van Gogh and Robin Hood (who we know isn't strictly historical but... you know. Go with it!). Which do they love? Which does one of them adore but the others...

Dave and Kenny return to the Dalek Universe, as they encounter the Tenth Doctor in his second box set of adventures. Here, the Doctor and his friends Anya Kingdom and Mark Seven face new dangers - will they all survive the box set? Spoilers ahoy - beware!

It's another Power of Two episode! This week, Tom and David are in the hotseats, as they discuss the biggest Doctor Who news story of the year - the confirmation that the actress Jodie Whittaker, and showrunner Chris Chibnall, are leaving the show.
