This week, executive producer Nick Briggs is at home - and very much in demand. So we've made his life a little easier by just asking for links on this week's podcast, which features a slice of intrigue from the opening story of the new Stargate SG-1: Series Three - Part Two box set and episode one of this month's Doctor Who release 1001 Nights.

Stargate SG-1: Excision finds erstwhile archaeologist Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) and his friend and colleague Vala Mal Doran (Claudia Black) kidnapped by some rather dodgy former associates of Vala's who want to investigate - and plunder - a very strange object.

Meanwhile, Nyssa (Sarah Sutton) is forced to tell stories to a malevolent Sultan (Alexander Siddig) in order to keep the Doctor (Peter Davison) alive in part one of 1001 Nights.

You can download or stream the podcast containing these two tales right now - and you can also discover if Nick can convince his son Ben to speak! If you have any comments for the podcast team, who will be back in force next week, please e-mail [email protected]
