Doctor Who: We're All Stories in the End

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 to Matt Jones' debut novel. Follow We're All Stories In the End on threads: I'm @seaoftranquilitylane

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.

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, Dylan, David, James, Jason and Liam who all have much to say about this novel (and its importance in the history of Big Finish) and along the way we uncover a mystery we will call... The Grimwade Factor.

Join Iain and Harry (along with his former partner-in-nonsense Luke, just a homeless ex-podcaster now that WCCY is no more) as they discuss the four recent new episodes of television's Doctor Who: The Star Beast, Wild Blue Yonder, The Giggle, and The Church on Ruby Road, to prove a theory: that Doctor Who is divisive, that not everyone needs to enjoy every single story, and that none of our individual opinions matter much in the grand scheme of things and no-one should ever feel threatened or triggered just because someone else holds a different opinion concerning an episode, a book, an audio or an action figure from a daft old kids TV show.
