Colin (@colin_neal), Jason (@drwhonovels) and Mark (@QuarkMcMalus) talk Spyfall Part Two. Check out Jason's blogs on Spyfall Parts One & Two

The Final Game which is an epic story 7 part story that pits the Third Doctor and Roger Delgado’s Master against each other one final time. You can hear the first three episodes of The Final Game here: Part One Part Two  Part Three The cliffhanger to the second episode of The Final Game saw the Daleks arrive, so this podcast is all about these iconic monsters. I asked the cast and writer about the first time they encountered the Daleks on screen, their favourite Dalek stories and what they think is the enduring appeal of the Doctor’s most famous foes. In the second part of the podcast you’ll hear the writer of The Final Game, Chris McKeon, share his thoughts on both the Daleks and the writing of the episode.

Regular listeners to The Trap One Podcast might remember that a few weeks we put together a tribute to the legendary Doctor Who writer Terrance Dicks following his death in August. It features contributions from lots of Trap One regulars and a great interview with the man himself courtesy of the Whoovers. That episode is available to listen to here. One of the contributors was Chris McKeon, writer of the Sixth Doctor novel Time’s Champion and the Third Doctor fan audio series The Final Game, which you can check out here. With his usual enthusiasm and generosity Chris recording a piece that was much longer than I could use in the Terrance Dicks episode, but it’s a very comprehensive, knowledgeable and personal look at Terrance’s Doctor Who work, in particular in covering his career after being script editor and then writing so many of the Target novels that I thought I’d put it out as a podcast on its own - Chris McKeon Remembers Terrance Dicks.
