Timestreams is back with another classic Doctor Who adventure to discuss. Listen up as Juliette and Nathan discuss why size really does matter as we discuss the smallest 4-parter in Doctor Who, Planet of Giants. It's a tale of shrinkage as we explain why this four episode serial is fully realized in 3 parts. There's room for growth as we discuss topical discussions in Doctor Who scripts. Remember that it's what you do with it that matters as we debate whether an effects heavy production can withstand the test of time. You may feel that all that awesome is too heavy a burden, but we've shrunk it down so that you can take it with you on your device of choice. So, enter the vortex with us and prepare yourself for our discussion of the smallest story every told! Listen/Share/Comment

In this episode Nathan and Juliette discuss the premiere story of season two, Planet of Giants.

The latest from the Doctor Who Collectors Podcast!

On today's show we explore the WH Allen hardcovers published and sold in 1985! 13 books with one reprinted book. This would be the last time a hardcover in this line would be reprinted and we can't figure out why? Why were only 1st edition "Two Doctors" target books sent to the US and not available in the UK? The hardcover run will end in the middle of 1988 so how are sales? US distribution happened for most of these titles affecting their value. Tony Whitt, the host of the Doctor Who Target Book Club Podcast, offers insight into the actual novel of the story. Join us on this continuing adventure! We also have My Time and The Most Outrageous offer! Available where you get your podcasts!
