Power of 3 podcast #360: Terror of the Suburbs

I've just received my copy of the Blu-ray boxset Doctor Who Season 7, comprising the 25 episodes first broadcast in 1970. This saw the debut of the Third Doctor, as played by Jon Pertwee, his companion Dr Liz Shaw (Caroline John) and Doctor Who being made in colour. It also began a run of adventures in which the Doctor is stranded on Earth, without the use of his TARDIS...

That last element is the subject of the documentary Terror of the Suburbs, included on the new set. It's presented by Matthew Sweet and produced by me and the team at Eklectics. I'll post some more details about it once people have had a chance to watch...

In the meantime, I shared a few not-too-spoilery things with Kenny Smith for episode #360 of his podcast Power of 3. You also get to hear from high wizard Peter Crocker about exactly what was involved in restoring these old episodes. 

Doctor Who Magazine's special issue on the 1970 series of Doctor Who is also on sale and includes my article on the cast and crew it shared with the soap opera Crossroads. Earlier this week, I posted a bit more about that and the fact that David Whitaker wrote 32 episodes of Crossroads.
