The Doctor Who Podcast Episode #200: Interviews with Malcolm Hulke and Terrance Dicks

Published: April 17, 2013, 9:05 a.m.

b'Two hundred!\\xa0 Two hundred episodes of THE Doctor Who podcast!\\xa0 One hundred and ninety-nine episodes since that review of The Eleventh Hour all the way back in 2010! Woo-hoo!
\\n
\\nHow then, should we celebrate such a landmark? What would be appropriate?!\\xa0 Hmmm.\\xa0 We at The DWP thought long and hard on this.\\xa0 There could be so many ways to celebrate this historic occasion and say thank you to our devoted listeners.\\xa0 We came up with a couple of ideas:
\\n


    \\n \\t
  • humming the Doctor Who theme for five straight hours

  • \\n \\t
  • reviewing Delta and the Bannermen and Unicorn and the Wasp whilst inhaling helium

  • \\n \\t
  • perform an entire podcast in morse code

  • \\n \\t
  • doing a commentary track for Planet of the Dead.

  • \\n

\\nWe rejected these plainly insane ideas, and after much discussion finally made a decision. \\xa0How about a never-before-heard interview with an iconic Who writer who sadly is no longer with us?\\xa0 A writer who assisted in giving us War Lords, Draconians, Silurians and Sea Devils?!\\xa0 Yes.\\xa0 Yes indeed.\\xa0\\xa0 That might be just the way to go!
\\n
\\nIt is therefore with immense pride that The Doctor Who Podcast presents an interview with none other than Mr Malcolm Hulke!
\\n
\\nBut why stop there?! Mac, as he preferred to be called struck up a collaborative writing relationship with a man who also went on to become a Who legend in his own right.\\xa0 Why not interview him too and ask him about his memories of Mac?\\xa0 We therefore also bring you a brand new interview with Mr Terrance Dicks!
\\n
\\nSo, sit back and enjoy an hour in the company of Messrs Dicks and Hulke as they talk about the show they help immortalise, all in one juicy, celebratory edition of The Doctor Who Podcast.
\\n
\\nHappy 200 everyone.\\xa0 You may now provide cake.'
