Happy Hump Day! It’s all going on: Fi’s been taken over by a spirit, and we’re about 50 miles outside Bromley… Jane’s added even more items to her ever-growing list of dislikes… They also chat about lying-in hospitals, burping yoga, mallen streaks, and Frank Bough. Namaste! Plus, Sir Derek Jacobi reflects on his career and discusses his tour with his husband Richard Clifford. We’re taking suggestions for our next book club pick! The brief is: books that deserve to be re-read. Our most asked about book is called 'The Later Years' by Peter Thornton.

First Up.... Soft Centres by Carl Chetty Starring SIR DEREK JACOBI as Frankie and JOANNA LUMLEY as Millicent Soft Centres is set in a chocolate shop. It’s Valentine’s Day and there’s about as much love in this emporium as you might expect in a nest of vipers! Millicent and Frankie have been working together for more years than either of them care to remember. But in spite of their advancing years and working proximity, their relationship seems based entirely on conflict and a never ending stream of insults. However, this Valentine’s Day marks a ‘melting point in the hatred between these two confrontational chocolatiers, and we discover what lies at the heart of their mutual loathing. Still to come - On Christmas Monday, Hard Centres with Sir Derek Jacobi and Imelda Staunton and on Christmas Tuesday, Dark Centres with Sir Derek Jacobi and June Brown.

This week, we’re joined by TV’s Adam Richard to talk about Martha, the Master, Heather Locklear, Coronation Street and Russell’s original plans for the end of the season. And we also talk about a little Doctor Who episode that we like to call Utopia . Notes and links Scream of the Shalka was a Doctor Who story written by Paul Cornell and released by the BBC as a Flash animation in 2003. It starred Richard E Grant as the Doctor and Derek Jacobi as a weird robot version of the Master, who was kept captive in the Doctor’s TARDIS. It was released on DVD in 2013. ( Amazon US ) ( Amazon UK ) ( Amazon AU ). Derek Jacobi also plays the War Master in Big Finish ’s The Master of Callous . Adam recommends it. Unlike so many Doctor Who YouTubers, Brendan loves Doctor Who . And what more proof of this do you need than his web series Say Something Nice , in which he goes through all of the lowest-rated Doctor Who episodes and says something nice about them. Bless him. Another Master, Geoffrey Beevers, joins Tom Baker in a battle of terribly mellifluous voices in Big Finish ’s Death Match , whose key scene Brendan recreates expertly during this episode. And our final Master for the week is Alex Macqueen, who eventually reveals himself opposite Sylvester McCoy in the Big Finish story Dominion . The Future Kind are undoubtedly inspired by the Links in the final episode of Blakes 7 Series 3, Terminal , which you can now watch online in its entirety . And fans of SV-7 beating up a bunch of tiny seaweed Zygon monsters will also enjoy the Series 1 Blakes 7 episode, The Web .
