This is our third and final look back at The Daleks' Masterplan, its novelizations, and recovered episodes. We hope you've enjoyed this series. Paul Ebbs is a first-time guest but long-time friend of the show, and he discusses his Doctor Who fandom and fiction-writing career, and he and Jason compare their many mutual (likes and) dislikes.
Mark from Trap One contributes a guest review of the two Masterplan novelizations.
Please check out out Paul MC Smith's new book on the Targets with a co-writer credit for Jim Sangster.

This February 2022 episode of Doctor Who Literature was pulled from the Spotify archive about 18 months ago. This was very early days for DWLit and the audio quality is tragically poor in spots, but it deserves to be returned to the archives, certainly for the conversation with Stacey Smith? and her surprising story about getting a Doctor to sign her copy of the book... but not the Doctor you were expecting. Apart from audio issues, please enjoy this reclaimed episode.

We don't have a rapping ringmaster this week, but we do have the next best thing, one of the best musical comedy segments Jim Sangster has produced for us.
And a sad farewell to Anthony Stewart Head, who passed away this week at age 72.

As this Doctor Who Literature episode was in production, it was announced that two missing installments from The Daleks' Masterplan, both broadcast in November 1965. These will be available for UK audiences in April 2026. This is tremendously exciting news and will be dominating Doctor Who podcast discussions for several weeks.
But this week we are up to the second of three Missing Season 23 novelizations. Melvin Pena is on board this week to help Jason try and make sense of the various elements of this story.

Notes de l’épisode
In February 1985, Doctor Who was canceled...temporarily, at least. The premiere of Season 23 was pushed back from January 1986 to September, and the original slate of stories was all scuttled. As Doctor Who fans like to do, even stories that were junked and scrapped and lit on fire, are worthy of resurrection, such that you can find much of that canceled Season 23 done up as full-cast Big Finish audios... and three of them done up as Target novelizations in 1989 and 1990. The Nightmare Fair is the first of those.
Dan Hollingsworth, one of Jason's Trap One Podcast co-hosts, makes his Doctor Who Literature debut to help quantify just how much a Nightmare this story is (or isn't!). Mark from Trap One adds a dramatic reading and audio essay.
This week's non-Doctor Who essay is a tribute to the recently deceased American entertainer "Uncle" Floyd Vivino.
The DWM backup strips, including the Celestial Toymaker, can be found (and discussed on Trap One) in Return of the Daleks and Black Sun Rising.
One of the more accessible clips from "The Uncle Floyd Show" can be viewed here.

Doctor Who Literature extends a warm welcome to Anthony and Alasdair from the brilliant Too Broad and Too Deep podcast, which covers Jason's beloved Doctor Who New Adventures novels of the 1990s.
This week we are discussing Dragonfire, the final story of Doctor's 24th season, the swan song for Bonnie Langford's Mel (until the 21st century), and the debut of Ace. There's a lot to discuss here, and Anthony & Alasdair bring their "A" game.
You can find Alasdair here and here, and you can find Anthony here.

Notes de l’épisode
We remain off the boards for one more week, to discuss not a Target Doctor Who novelization, but rather a new publication from Panini Comics. It's The Return of the Daleks (purchase link: here), a compilation of the Doctor-less backup strips from the earliest days of Doctor Who Weekly/Doctor Who Monthly/DWM. The compilation features commentary from Paul Scoones -- who joins us this week to discuss not only this new book, but also the TSV novelizations, high-quality fan-made novelizations of five 1970s/'80s Doctor Who TV serials which, for rights reasons, were never novelized by Target during the line's original run.

Notes de l’épisode
This week Doctor Who Literature takes a week off from the Target novelizations to explore the rest of Jason's childhood bookshelves. I started reading the Target Doctor Who titles when I was 11, but I started reading just before turning 5. That's a lot of reading long before I found Terrance Dicks.
So let's take an hour and walk through what Jason loved before Doctor Who. We'll discuss the Dutch-language children's fiction of Dick Bruna; the magic of Little Golden Books; the Big Three comics lines of the 1970s: Marvel, DC, and Gold Key/Whitman; baseball annuals aimed at children; and, of course, the Hardy Boys, the Choose Your Own Adventures, and the pictorial novelizations of Peanuts TV specials.
We hope you'll join for this week as we walk not just through Jason's childhood bookshelves, but also, really, his brain.
EDIT: I found that version of "The King" on YouTube. It's amazing.

This week we extend a warm Doctor Who Literature to author Nigel Robinson, who penned this week's Doctor Who novelization, an adaptation of the infamous -- but also wonderful -- 1967 Patrick Troughton adventure, The Underwater Menace. Nigel also walks us through the rest of his prolific career as a writer and editor, as we cover almost 60 years of fandom in just under 60 minutes.
Thanks so much to Nigel Robinson for his time in the recording of this episode.
This week's opening number was recorded by Jim Sangster.
You can also hear Jason, Si, and Frazer on Trap One discussing the animated release of Underwater Menace earlier in 2024.

Episode 128 - Vengeance on Varos (with David Barsky)

Notes de l’épisode
The novelization of Vengeance on Varos was published two years behind schedule, meaning that book number 106, which was skipped in the Target Doctor Who novelization release order in 1986, is belatedly plugged in -- immediately after the previous two novelizations were both assigned number 127. Got that?
This week's Doctor Who Literature guest is David Barsky. David and Jason have lots of TV and international travel to discuss. And, occasionally, Vengeance on Varos, a controversial story and a novelization tending towards the... verbose.
Sound clips in this episode include:
--The 1969 Encyclopedia Britannica short film adaptation of Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery";
--A Season 3 "Simpsons" riff also on "The Lottery";
--"Family Guy", like David Barsky, did not care for The Godfather;
--The venerable U.S. game show "The Price is Right", which has been on the air since, like, 1911, has memorable sound bites here and here.
Not heard in the episode, but highly recommended, is both the trailer for and the movie LOCK-UP (1989), starring Sylvester Stallone (not McCoy), the late Donald Sutherland, and the late John Amos (whose death was announced the day this episode was recorded).

Notes de l’épisode
Welcome to the beginning of the end of Doctor Who Literature. It's May 1988, and the paperback release of the first of the 12 Sylvester McCoy-era Doctor Who novelizations by Target Books. The Target run had a finite lifespan, and from here on out, with the last Classic Series Doctor finally joining the Target stable, the end is in sight.
We will have two guests for each of the Sylvester McCoy books. First up this week is Jim Sangster, who is now officially co-host of the show and the producer of our YouTube channel and video content. Jim has a new song for us this week.
We also have an archival interview with Joe Ford from July 2021 extolling the virtues of Time and the Rani, from Jason's first attempt at a podcast, unreleased after all this time until now.
Please purchase Andrew Cartmel's Script Doctor from Ten Acre Films.
"16 Going on 17" comes from The Sound of Music. Doctor Who Literature expressly refutes Rolfe's political affiliation. As does Family Guy.

Notes de l’épisode
This week Jim bids a sad farewell to the legendary David Graham, contributor of voices (and two live-action roles) to Doctor Who, and who did voice work for almost every other British series that mattered, up to and including "Peppa Pig".
Stacey Smith? rejoins Jason for a look at the first Trial of a Time Lord story, The Mysterious Planet. It's Robert Holmes' final completed Doctor Who serial, and -- in story order -- Terrance Dicks' final Doctor Who novelization.
Stacey also digs deep into the rec.arts.drwho archives and finds a Jason comedy post from 1996... which Jim narrates and performs.
This week's episode's got it all.
