Doctor Who On Target

Greg James

Welcome to Doctor Who On Target – the podcast where we discuss the Target range of classic Dr Who books from the 1970s and 80s. If you missed Doctor Who in those pre-DVD days – you missed it forever! Unless, of course, you bought the Target novelization - the iPlayer of its day! So jump aboard the TARDIS, set the time rotor for late 20th century Earth, and join us as, with a wheezing, groaning sound, we discuss, analyse and reminisce Doctor Who On Target.

    The Web of Fear by Terrance Dicks
    They're back! Bigger, more powerful and scarier than before - and this time, they have web guns!

How could Greg and David resist reviewing this one? They couldn't, of course - so, hit the download button and join as we find out if this Doctor Who is On Target!

    Galaxy 4
    Galaxy 4 by William Emms is where David and Greg are faced with the beautiful but cold and deadly Drahvins, the incredibly ugly but rather nicely spoken Rills, and are nearly knocked right over by their robotic servants the chumblies. What on Earth will we make of this lost (aside from one recently-discovered episode) oddity from Hartnell-era Who? And of course, we have the very first narration of a Target audio from the original Vicky herself - Maureen O'Brien.
