It’s a banner day for filmic snipping enthusiasts as we have an exclusive (we emailed, he said yes) interview with film editor and 1960s Doctor Who alumnus Chris Hayden, who speaks with Steven about working on “Planet of Giants” and “The War Games”, hanging out with New Hollywood legends in the early 1970s, and more! Plus we have Big Finish news, bookywook updates, and a special project that Steven has worked on in tribute to the late and great James Earl Jones. That’s right, Sally!

On this week’s show, Archie Panjabi is playing a new Doctor Who villain (probably not The Rani) next season, plus Russell T Davies and Disney+ teasing a TARDIS set pic (and potential Season 3 renewal?) on Instagram, but the key to this whole endeavour is the flights of fancy on our latest Fluid Links where we invent not one but two imaginary Doctor Who media properties! Lights, camera, nonsense!
