GARY RUSSELL Part 1 - The Early Years // Doctor Who : The Sirens of Audio Episode 48
#DoctorWho #BigFinish #GaryRussell
Join us as we chat with the man who spearheaded the campaign to bring back new and original Doctor Who on audio back in the 1990's.
Gary Russell is a lifelong fan of Doctor Who, and has been involved in almost every avenue of Doctor Who media, from the TV series, to books, to DWM editor and of course, the audio adventures.
In part 1 of our extensive conversation, we speak with Gary about his early days as a fan, his involvement in fandom itself, the launch of the audio adventures of Bernice Summerfield and his writing up to the birth of Doctor Who on audio in 1999.

Episode 42 - A Tribute to Douglas Adams
What better way to celebrate 42 episodes of The Sirens of Audio than with a tribute to Douglas Adams, the man who made he mark with audio drama, namely, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio series way back in 1978.
Not only do we chat about Hitchhiker's but we chat about looking back at Doctor Who season 17 with the aid of age and hindsight, the various releases of Shada with a focus on the 2003 Big Finish release, and we review the audiobook version of Doctor Who and the Krikkitmen, written by Douglas Adams and James Goss and read by Dan Starkey.
