Don't Read the Comments is an irregular podcast on our feed where we ignore the show’s title and actually read online comments relating to something going on in the world of Doctor Who.

Today, something a little different. With the passing of radio broadcaster James Valentine, who Rob crossed paths with early in his Doctor Who fandom in a rather significant way, and who many Australian Doctor Who fans will know if they were watching the Sylvester McCoy era on first broadcast, he talks unscripted about James' passing... and reads some comments.

This episode offers a 10-minute full synopsis of the 1994 Virgin Books Doctor Who novel, Blood Harvest.

Since the book is now over 30 years old, we know many listeners may not have read it recently — or perhaps ever.

If you don’t want to feel left out of our Blood Harvest discussion on Sunday’s monthly show, this episode is the perfect way to refresh your memory or get up to speed beforehand.
