January 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the releases of the first three Target novelizations. Happy Birthday to Doctor Who novels!
My guest this week, and it's a fun, wide-ranging chat, is fan favorite Pete Lambert (@Prof_Quiteamess). Fresh off his appearance discussing "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer" on another podcast, Pete has several fresh takes about the way Buffy/Angel and Doctor Who have influenced each other over the years, and we detour to a brief lovefest about "House, M.D.".
The story of the week is "Nightmare of Eden", Bob Baker's final "Doctor Who" script before departing to the world of Wallace and Gromit, and this is the final novelization of any of his stories. How does the TV production differ from Baker's intended story? And how does the great Terrance Dicks bring the story back to basics?
Pete will have his hands full with a game of "Guess That Cliffhanger".
"Doctor Who and the Nightmare of Eden" features cover art by Andrew Skilleter.
Doctor Who Literature is now a member of the Direction Point Doctor Who podcast network.
