Back to the mighty Ice Warriors and a look at the animated episodes of their debut.
Good bit of history with the serial from our hosts then onto an extended conversation with the producers of the animation.πŸ‘πŸΏ
Wouldn’t say no to another TV adventure or two exploring their culture either.πŸ‘πŸΏ

A perhaps unfairly maligned novel gets a look back with its creator.
It’s a chunky author conversation, and he has a great connection. Plus a couple of readings with fab sound design, a prelude and reviews.πŸ‘πŸΏ
