Download MP3

More exciting coverage of missing episodes….but this time not Doctor Who! Yes, a cutting copy of a 1968 episode of Morecambe & Wise has been discovered. But while a missing episode has been born anew, the past must fall as the Ianto shrine is finally disassembled with many a Ianto-ist in attendance along with Ianto himself, Gareth David Lloyd. Plus the usual Big Finish Zapruder-ing, Peter Capaldi and Cush Jumbo on Canadian TV, and our feature interview with Blake’s 7 Production Diary Series C with creators Jonathan Helm and Grahame Robertson! Maximum Power!
