Due to confusion in the heat of podcasting, the following mistake has been made...

The question for the competition to win one of the following books - Audio Scripts Volume Two, Audio Scripts Volume Four, Love Songs For the Shy And Cynical (paperback), Bernice Summerfield Secret Histories, Dalek Empire The Scripts - was not asked.

The question is available on the Xmas Podcast EXTRA!!!

Huge apologies all round...
