Hoping to ease the disappointment surrounding the postponement of this weekend's Terrance Dicks Celebration event, I've dusted off this recording I made of a panel held at the London Comic Con last October celebrating Terrance's life and work. I hope it goes some way towards filling the gap.
The panel was hosted by Matthew Sweet, with contributions from Emma Reeves, Paul Cornell, Mike Tucker and Katy Manning.
The audio quality is frankly poor, but I've done the best I can to reduce the interference and with a bit of persistence and concentration it's entirely possible to follow the conversation.
This podcast is available entirely for free and I make nothing from it, but in the spirit of the Celebration event, I'm pledging to donate 10p for every download we get (up to a maximum of 500) to Terrance's chosen charity of Save the Children.
I think it's a great conversation and tribute to Terrance and I hope you enjoy it.

In the sketch, it's almost curtains for Series 12, as it comes into contact with another series where things have taken a rather different turn... Meanwhile Richard, Giles and Simon bring you our review of The Timeless Children, thoughts at the end of Series 12 and looking forward to future developments. And then it's on to the Tenth Planet, the First Doctor's swansong, if we can still call him that after last Sunday.

Guess what? It's the return of Paul, fresh from his recent sojourn in LA, who joins Simon, Giles and Richard to review the latest episode of Doctor Who - The Haunting of Villa Diodati. Everyone loves Maxine Alderton's first entry to the canon and while we wonder how it took Chris Chibnall so long to find a script like this, we detour into Latin and Greek and, of course, Big Finish. It's our longest short episode by some distance!

Richard, Giles and Simon return with Something Who Episode 13. After a couple of shorter podcasts, it's back to our classic format as we review the latest episode of Doctor Who - Can You Hear Me? - twinned with a classic story, The Crusade. There's a lot of positivity about. Simon also prompts a discussion about what makes a historical story and we discuss some of our favourites. There's also time for a quick encounter with Shakespeare and David Whitaker.

Simon and Giles are back with Richard for a quick chat about the latest Doctor Who story, Praxeus. It's fair to say that opinions were mixed, but we still had some fun with it.

Simon and Giles are back with Richard for a brief chat about this week's extraordinary episode, Fugitive of the Judoon, and to engage in the same lurid speculation as every other group of Doctor Who fans the world over.
Making a modest virtue of our relative tardiness, we were able to chew over Chris Chibnall's comments as reported in the UK Mirror.

Giles and Simon are back with Richard to chat about Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror and The Horror of Fang Rock, two stories set in the Edwardian era and with an electrical bent. And somewhere in the middle, fans of Doctor Who's missing episodes should listen for an outbreak of Omnihumour.

It' our first episode of the New Year and it's a bumper review of Spyfall Parts 1 and 2, the latest adventure for the 13th Doctor, alongside Claws of Axos, 3rd Doctor story from 1971.
Join Richard, Paul, Giles and Simon as we have some fun looking for links between these stories and discussing the first new Doctor Who (remakes of Missing Episodes aside) for a year. As ever there's a sketch, but this time it's in the middle.
