Hamster Book Club - The Ancestor Cell by Peter Anghelides & Stephen Cole (featuring Mark Donaldson)

Join David & I as we explore the re-imagined Doctor Who for the 70s. The ‘We Stan Meg Seeley’ fan club starts here.

To celebrate the lauch of Toby Hadoke's new book - The Quatermass Experiment - I would love to present to you the glorious episode of Hamster Extra where he discusses the four iterations of the show magnificently. Buy the book today :-)

Mark steps into the book club with a nice easy read - voodoo cults, twisted versions of Fitz & the Doctor, a female TARDIS that Romana is attempting to force breed, an oncoming War and the destruction of Gallifrey. No biggie.

Join Joe, Frazer, Daniel & Kieran as we face Adipose, Pyrovilles, evil corporations, Sontarans and genetic warfare in the aim to crown the winner of this half season...with a very special guest star!

To celebrate the release of the animation, a re-release of the best time that Mark & I had discussing one of his favourites and one I have come to love through his eyes. 'Thank you, young lady, for making me look so grand!'

I bring in one of the smartest men I know to critique the work of Pip and Jane Baker. With an enormous vagina on the cover, murder, mayhem and intrigue within its pages and conversations that consider morality and the poignancy of death, how does this book fare?

At Pete's request, we have assembled to talk about one of the most unusual Doctor Who stories of all time and just how many ways we love it...

A fascinating pair of historical artefacts (both in content and as books) - most unlike your usual script to page Target and divisive reads amongst the book clubbers this week. Does taking a risk reap rewards? Also, our favourite book companion exits.

Recorded two years ago - how time flies - we (mostly) wax lyrical about the closing two parter of series three. It was a time when we were both pinching ourselves at the shows success and loving what was being delivered.

A huge Nicholas Briggs love in for a great script and brilliant guest turn. Easily our favourite of the Strangers - a creepy, beguiling SF mystery with a superb chance for Colin and Nicola to show what they can do.
