Thank you! You’re too kind, Daniel 💙💙

Loved this, esp the Terrance Dicks Target novelisation discussion. I think Peter is absolutely right when he says that there is a (first) golden age for the Targets. For me, it runs all the way up to Jan ‘79 with the 128-page Hand of Fear Dicks book, the 46th in the range. The 47th? Invisible Enemy!
Steven's catfishing a lovelorn civil servant, Richard's developed Housemaid's Knee, and Brendan's been hypnotised into prompting AI romance novels. At the end of the End of Empire, there's nothing left to do but L♡ve All. #TheAvengers #podcast

In the first of a new chain of hotels, Richard takes care of the most valuable guests, Brendan watches his pounds on the banana diet, and Steven finds his mattress stuffed with straw in his Room Without a View.

Steven’s infiltrating Jeremiah Chechik's secret underground base to find the 2 hour cut of the film, so Richard and Brendan have recalled Nathan and James to deal with the 90 minute visually spectacular disaster that is The Avengers 1998.

Castrovalva at top of the pops - I love to see the love for my favourite story as an adolescent 💙💙
The surprising return of a decades-old monster leads not only to the urgent revision of a long-dormant TARDIS Wikia page, but also to an unexpected addition to the current season of 500 Year Diary. So join us for one more visit to Midnight — it’s The Well.

Steven's polishing the silverware and Richard's brushing up on global gold exchange rates, which leaves Brendan scrubbing out the 'guest room.' We can hear the sound of empires toppling as we figure out who's trapping whom in The Gilded Cage.

Me too! It was a day in a thousand, to be there with you and Joe
That was so lovely, I so enjoyed listening to you both wax lyrical about an absolute favourite of mine!
Recording tomorrow: 🐹 THE AWAKENING
with @docoho44.bsky.social and @jackcoyer.bsky.social
So far, preparing notes on:
✅ The English Civil War
✅ ‘80s militaristic chic
✅ The show mining its own history
What are your thoughts on the story?
The War Machines
The Invasion
Terror of the Autons
Genesis of the Daleks

(For the rest of today.)
I am loving the pod, Luke, and Michael is alway a pleasure to listen to! As a total Big Finish noob, though, I’m often lost when following the discussion. Is it possible to have a quick three-act précis with main cast roll call for the BF audios, please?
Would it be blasphemous if I were to argue - genuinely - that the Rani is just the Master in Missy form and that “Mark of the Rani”was the first ever multi-Master story? Her Omega scheme seems no better or worse than any of the Ainley Master’s hare-brained plots.
(I’ll get back in my box now.)
Contention abounds over God-like Doctors and just how much Paul Cornell wrote this teleplay but we can all decide that this is a staggering good production and worthy of its lofty reputation. @jackcoyer.bsky.social

Richard's left money for the eggs, Steven's gotten into a brawl over the booze, and Brendan's thrown himself into a carwash to draw out the Fox. All par for the course as we tour the Canadian countryside with Emily. #TheAvengers #Avengers #Podcast

Well, this has just made my day! I’ll look forward to the Davison era lovingly being pulled apart by clever folk!
This handsome fella now physically exists and will in shops in three weeks time! #doctorwho
Our lost episode recovered!
Steven's warming up his Snakes and Ladders, Brendan's broken out his miniature infantry, and Richard's playing cat and mouse with a soldier he judged harshly but fairly 20 years ago. It's all fair Game.

Join Joe, @davidjgp1983.bsky.social Steven B @paulcresser.bsky.social as we face murderous reptiles, the menacing Malus, terrifying Tractators, deadly Daleks, cursed Kamelion & toxic Spectrox! But who will suceed?

Richard is particularly protective of his homebrew, Steven is particularly permissive of projectiles in the library, and Brendan is particularly perturbed to discover he has four children. This Green Unpleasant Land's first stop is Murdersville. #TheAvengers #Podcast

Yes, please.
Just received an advance proof copy of @johnhiggs.bsky.social’s cultural history of #doctorwho and began reading. Don’t want to say it’s brilliant without having finished reading, but it’s insightful, funny and BRILLIANT. #books You can pre-order a copy here:

Steven’s performing his party piece blindfolded, Richard’s throwing a guest star over Miss Havisham’s wedding spread, and Brendan’s set up Macnee’s headshots on a Lazy Susan. It's Christmas, but can one have Too Many Christmas Trees?

Richard's causing widespread electrical problems, Steven's twisting up a storm in the barn, and Brendan's paying a biker gang for services rendered. All of which are what you can expect when you try to Build a Better Mousetrap. #TheAvengers #Podcast

Brendan's stepped into a wrestlers' ring, Steven's stepped out of the shower to answer a call, and Richard's stepped out on the terrace to chat up and/or restrain Philip Madoc. May we take your coat? It's a tight fit for The Decapod. #TheAvengers #podcast

What a lovely idea! That early Avengers ‘grit’ provided by the Steed and Keel episodes does seem to wear away over time, though I’m not sure it isn’t a good thing. Also, Steed and a female co-lead is such a potent and recognisable pairing it’d be hard to not present it that way, if rebooted.
