Since my early start in Dr. Who watching Jon Pertwee as my hero, I got the chance to meet him in the early 80's. When he passed in 1996 I never thought someone would come along and bring his essence back to the role. Well, Tim Treloar is doing that for Big Finish! Tim plays the 3rd Doctor brilliantly! Listen to the interview to find out which famous Doctor referred him for the role! I also have My Time and the most outrageous offer!

In 1981 there were 12 new hardcovers published with 9 novels, 2 reference books, and one reprint with a new cover. The writers strike is in full force making new books impossible to publish, but why not a few old titles in hardcover? Join me and my guest Tony Whitt (host of the Dr. Who Target Book Club Podcast) on this part of the adventure in collecting classic hardcovers. I also have a most outrageous offer that even River Song can't fix! See you there! Keep collecting!

Episode 59: A conversation with Dr. Who Legend Peter Purves
Thursday Jan 12, 2023
Thursday Jan 12, 2023
It is rare to speak with a veteran Dr. Who companion. Mr. Peter Purves appeared in 46 episodes of Dr. Who with William Hartnell. He started as Morton Dill in part 3 of The Chase, then boarded the Tardis in part 6. He continued his adventures until a new producer came in and told him The Savages would his last. In this interview we learn about his role, his working relationship with William Hartnell, his working with Daleks, and a collectible prop that he threw away. I believe this to be my best interview and my highest ranking guest to date! I also have a most outrageous offer that is 10 times the going price of a new item! Welcome to the new year and the 60th anniversary of Dr. Who! The continuing legend of Morton Dill!
The price has gone up since publication! New copies can be had for $116
Peter Purves as Steven Taylor from The Celestial Toymaker
Peter Purves as Steven Taylor in The Time Meddler
Peter Purves as the legendary Morton Dill! Takes the piss out of a Dalek as he says. Had no idea it was his audition for Dr. Who.

Let's talk about the Doctor's favorite tool, the Sonic Screwdriver. The talk will take a look at the 54-year-history of this fictional tool: from its humble beginnings as a life vest whistle and pen light, to Jodie Whittaker's modern crystalline design, and will also look at the way it has been used in the narratives. This was recorded live at Chicago Tardis. All visuals will be linked below. We have collection protection, A wrap-up of Chicago Tardis 2022, and the Most Outrageous offer!

Episode 55: Alternative Media and Chicago Tardis Updates!
Tuesday Oct 18, 2022
Tuesday Oct 18, 2022
Before the time of Video recording and such, there were two companies that ventured into alternative media to allow children to watch a show at home! Chad Valley and GAF (Viewmaster) made that possible. The Doctor Who Give-A-Show Projector from 1965 and Viewmaster Dr. Who Full Circle and Castrovalva in 1982/83. I also provide full updates on Chicago Tardis this November. Just in, Chicago Tardis is requiring Masks this year as a precaution. Be sure to get a 3D mask so you can talk.
