This week we present to you a panel discussion that was recorded LIVE at the Stellar Fest convention in April of 2026. The topic is 1976 - a year from the golden era of Classic Who that featured the iconic pairing of the Fourth Doctor with Sarah Jane Smith in such classic stories as "Pyramids of Mars," "The Brain of Morbius," "The Seeds of Doom," "The Hand of Fear," and more. Ashley, Josh and Alan are joined at the panel room table by Mike Gordon of the Earth Station Who podcast.

Back in the 1990s, there was no Doctor Who on television, so fans took it upon themselves to fill the gap. "Downtime" from 1995 has the most professional involvement of what was produced during the Wilderness Years, with actors, writers, directors, and technicians from the show. As a direct sequel to the two Yeti stories from the 60s ("The Abominable Snowmen" and "The Web of Fear"), "Downtime" picks up the story of Victoria Waterfield who is searching for her missing father. Sarah Jane Smith and Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart get involved in preventing the Great Intelligence from reemerging.

This week we learned the incredibly sad news that author Justin Richards had passed away. Justin was one of the most important figures in Doctor Who for decades. He was not only one of the most important contributors in keeping Doctor Who alive and active during the wilderness years, but was incredibly active during the 2005 revival and well into the New Series. He wrote novels, audio dramas, non-fiction, graphic novels, and more. We share some of our favorite highlights from throughout his prolific career.
