Doctor Who Literature is on break until the New Year, but Jason and Callie come back for one night to discuss this year's Doctor Who Christmas Special: Joy to the World, by Steven Moffat. Warning, this is a FULL SPOILER chat so don't listen until you've watched the episode first. Callie as always does not hold back on any opinion, and Jason as always has slight trouble staying on topic.

Happy American Thanksgiving to my listeners in the States.

For a Sylvester McCoy novelization on Doctor Who Literature, ya gotta have two guests, not just one. Jim Sangster and Jason Davis, both huge behind-the-scenes influences on the show, come together for the first time as we tackle Paradise Towers, the second serial from Doctor Who's controversial, divisive -- and delightful -- 24th season.

The vocals for this week's opening number are by Antony Owen. Music arranged by Jim Sangster.

Having a first-time guest last week worked so well, that we've done it again this week: Jim Allenby from the What's in the Box? podcast, makes his Doctor Who Literature debut.

Our story for the week is The Smugglers, but Jim A. and I also recorded our conversation on November 23, 2024: Doctor Who's 61st anniversary, and, coincidentally, the 40th anniversary of Jason discovering the show to begin with. Jim A. and I discuss An Unearthly Child, our respective fandom origin stories, and the special edition announced on the anniversary and being released in December 2024: The War Games, in color, and with new footage!
