Unfinished business! The history of the world’s longest running Science Fiction and Fantasy series is mined with such. Few projects are more dreamt about than the planned final meeting of the Doctor with his Master, in the latter days of the Jon Pertwee era. An epic finale viewers and the actors were denied by a tragic accident.
To mark the centenary of Roger Delgado who originated the character of the Master, that story has been created and told. On audio by a team of dedicated, creative fans lead by writer an...

There’s a special place in the hearts of all Doctor Who fans for the Doctor’s most diminutive of companions: the remarkable, electronic, robotic dog K9. The appeal of this character both at the Doctor’s feet and in his own right is undeniable and evergreen!
So popular was he that long before Captain Jack bounded into the Torchwood hub, Class assembled or Sarah Jane moved to Bannerman Road? It was K9 who first secured a commission from the BBC for a spin-off to our favourite show back in 1981, pet pr...

It’s a reality that haunts Doctor Who fans: how large quantities of the series earliest episodes officially no longer exist. Wiped, taken or destroyed over a period of time as part of a general housekeeping and money saving initiative at the BBC itself, decades ago.
Writer and lifelong fan Richard Molesworth is the man who’s written the definitive work on the misty saga of the missing episodes, titled “Wiped!”. And he’s our guest on the latest edition of Type 40 for an exclusive, erudite and candid interview. With his o...
