Neil and Sue Perryman make one of their very rare public appearences as they join Siobhan to talk about 'Adventures With The Wife In Space'. Did you know it was a book? Yes, I know.... kept that quiet, didn't they?

(Love you really guys!)

The book gets a review as does Andrew Cartmel's 'Script Doctor' which has just been reissued from MIWK Publishing.

And in the end: For Remembrance Sunday - for all those who gave all - everywhere.

It's the turn of Mr. Doctor David Tennant Sir. There may be Fear Her. Or not. Let's be honest here, no way on Bod's grey Earth will Siobhan allow that show on HER show.

Oh, there's a lot of reviews, from DVDs to books, to audios...

Davies is on this one. Sorry about that.

And in the end, French.

There's also a review of MIWK's superb book, 'Jaunt'.

It's Wig Man! No, not Smith. No, not McCoy. McGann!

Yeah, alright, we're a bit late on this one, to be honest.

We must thank Dr. Phil from Adventures In Time Space And Music for his summery of the telly movie's score.

And in the end: Stand to attention and hope he doesn't notice you. It's Sinister's Anthem - 'Glory To The Leader For He Is So Much Better Then Us And His Eyepatch Is Nice And Shiny.' Produced by Hardwire....

The Flashing Blade's Adventure With The Wife In Space.mp3

As Siobhan is a lazy cow, she decied to give everyone the week off.

So, have instead a special edition of the Blade. This was recorded for Neil and Sue Perryman, from the Adventures With The Wife In Space blog. As They had looked at Davies' More Then Thirty years In The TARDIS telly prog, we thought it only fair that Davies had right of reply. 

WARNING: contains naughty words.

Do please have a read of the blog. It's hilarious. I mean, fancy teaming up with someone who doesn't know much about Doctor Who and then putting the results out on the internet....

Actually, out of interest, just what DID happen to Jo!?

Ahem.

A late result, 

Jago and Litefoot 5 : Gallifrey 5.

That result, there, meaning that Jago and Litefoot go through to the play-offs where they'll face either Dalek Empire or Cybermen. That match to be played on Wednesday evening... there.

And now on BBC1.....

And in the end, It is the most shattering experience of a young man's life when one morning he awakes and quite reasonably says to himself, "I will never play the Dane.
