This is a truly epic discussion with a man who has created so many iconic sounds from Doctor Who. The TARDIS, the Dalek voices and many, many more. Brian Hodgson did special sound for Doctor Who between 1963 - 1972 and returned to the Radiophonic workshop in the 1980's. But like all our guests, there is much more to him than Doctor Who. We'll also chat about some of Brian's other projects over the years.

Today our guest is Emmy-nominated composer and sound designer Elizabeth Parker. Elizabeth worked with the BBC Radiophonic workshop from 1978 to the mid 90s. During that time she worked on over 1400 projects, two of which included Doctor Who. She worked on The Stones of Blood while Dick Mills was on holiday, and she composed the incidental music for the 1985 adventure, Timelash. Elizabeth also worked as the sound designer for Blake's 7 from series B onwards. We were thrilled to chat with Elizabeth about her career and her work on our favourite TV series.

For a change we focus on a television episode of Doctor Who. The Robots of Death could well be at the pinnicle of the classic show, but at the same time, a new science fiction show was gearing up and not far off hitting our screens, namely, Blake's 7. We take this opportunity to have a look at the episodes along with our co-hosts from our new Blake's 7 podcast, The Way Back.

This time we explore one of the stories in the incredible opening two seasons of 8th Doctor audio adventures, Embrance the Darkness, written by Nicholas Briggs. We ask the question, does this story contain one of the most electrifying cliffhangers in Doctor Who audio history? We'll let you decide when you hear it. An actor who joined Big Finish during this time was Ian Brooker, who went on to perform in many Big Finish productions, including Dalek Empire, Cyberman and Pathfinder Legends. Ian joins us to talk about his career, how he came to be working for Big Finish, and what else he has been doing in his ongoing acting career. A fascinating discussion as always!

This time we examine the two Big Finish Rani releases... The Rani Elite featuring the Sixth Doctor and Peri, and Planet of the Rani featuring the Sixth Doctor once again, but with audio companion Constance Clarke. Due to the untimely death of Kate O'Mara, the role of the Rani went to Siobahn Redmond. So for those who love the classic era Rani or the recent bi-generated iteration, here is a Rani that you may never even knew existed. Will these Doctor Who stories stack up and finally give the Rani some worthy adventures? Tune in to find out. Theme music by Joe Kraemer.

Jean Marsh passed away on the 13th April 2025 at the age of 90. She was a reknowned actress both in the UK and abroad, having worked in TV, film and theatre. For Doctor Who fans, she is best remembered for her roles as Johanna in The Crusade, Sara Kingdom in The Daleks' Masterplan, and Morgaine in Battlefield. She reprised the role of Sara on audio for Big Finish in The Companion Chronicles and Early Adventures ranges. Writer Simon Guerrier joins us for this episode of the podcast, and shares some of his memories of the times he spent with Jean. We'll also discuss his Sara Kingdom trilogy, which features the stories, "Home Truths", The Drowned World", and "Guardian of the Solar System". There'll be spoilers, so if you haven't heard them, we recommend you grab them from the Big Finish website and have a listen to them first. They are fantastic! We also have some special tributes to Jean from her Battlefield co-stars, Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred. Thanks to them both for joining us. Theme music by Joe Kraemer.

Our special guest for this episode is actress Jessica Martin, known in Doctor Who for playing Mags in The Greatest Show in the Galaxy on television, and in a trilogy of stories for the Big Finish Doctor Who monthly range. We'll talk about her career, her time in Doctor Who, conventions, mimicry and art. Dwayne and Philip also cover some of the positive feedback from the latest Sirens of Audio live events with Matthew Waterhouse, and they discuss the reason why those live events don't always go to smaller, more regional areas.
