DWO WhoCast episode 167

Posted: 11 Feb 2010 10:00 AM PST

Please make welcome to the caravan a new member of the DWO WhoCast team.  Tom has come on board, eager and willing to share his vast knowledge of Doctor Who to anyone that will listen (and some that don't come to that!)

Tom met with James at what is fast becoming the DWO WhoCast local watering hole, had a few pints, and reviewed three Big Finish Davison stories that comprise the Stockbridge series of audios.

Meanwhile, back in the caravan, Chip and Trevor share a cup of lukewarm bovril and cast their eye over the Peladon Tales boxset of stories.

Let us know what you think of Tom via the usual ways, email us, twitter us or ummm... forum us.
