This week Peter Purves is joined by a true fan favourite, or as she calls it “The Fan’s Fan”, Doctor Who’s Sophie Aldred... best known as the explosive companion Ace.

Hello everyone. She’s battled Daleks, Cyberman and evils from the dawn of time.. and now Sophie takes on my infuriatingly unstable broadband! I really did enjoy this conversation and I feel we heard stories never told before. As always we have lots in common being fellow travellers in the Who-neverse, and we have a distinctive bond, travelling with the first and last Doctors spanning over 25 years of the program. In a word, Sophie is Ace!

Adieu.

Join me for what I hope is the first in a series of unique looks behind the scenes of a Doctor Who convention ..from a guest’s perspective! And what an event to start with.

After years of rumours Film is Fabulous have made it possible for us to once again watch two more missing episodes of Doctor Who from The Daleks’ Master Plan. And they did not disappoint.

For me, the biggest revelation is Douglas Camfield’s direction, really quite extraordinary.

It was a wonderful day at Riverside Studios. This is my diary from the event, featuring Toby Hadoke, Nick Briggs and many others in attendance, along with my own perspective on what it’s been like to be at the centre of a remarkable month for the Doctor Who legacy. Thank you to the wonderful organisers and everyone I met.

I hope you enjoy.

We thought we’d try something a little different this time and hand the podcast over to you. Patreon members send in questions, be they thoughtful, funny, surprising, and in some cases completely unexpected and Peter tackles them all. From memories of his time on Blue Peter- to life before and after the TARDIS, to the moments and stories that don’t always get told, nothing is off limits.

So settle in, enjoy being part of the conversation, and we hope you’ll find it as entertaining as we did recording it.
