For fans of Nick's seven-year-old son Ben, there's bad news. He's a bit under the weather and didn't feel like being in the podcast. However, Joe Smith is back, albeit in pre-recorded segments, giving us the news and reading out listeners' emails.

Tom Saunders, the man responsible for all Big Finish's promotional video material, tells us all about his job. Composer Blair Mowat gives us a sneak preview of his new version of the Doctor Who theme for Bernice Summerfield: The Unbound Universe.

There are also, as usual, plenty of clips and trailers, and, as part of the Random Release from the BF Archives section, Nick looks back at the troubled production story of Eighth Doctor debut season adventure Doctor Who: Minuet in Hell.

As well as all this, there's the first instalment of our serialisation of The Great War (originally released as Part 1 of Doctor Who: Dark Eyes), presented here, marking the 100th Anniversary of the Battle of the Somme in World War One.
