Much has been said about the 1964 Doctor Who serial The Sensorites. Not all of it positive. We at Doctor Who Literature are here to reverse that trend. The Sensorites is awesome. Except when it isn't, but when it lands, it really lands.

This week's guest is Black Archives writer Jon Arnold.

Here is one of Jon's many recent appearances on Strangers in Space.

Cover artist of The Sensorites novelization, Nick Spender, passed away recently.

We open at the BFI in London where Conrad Westmaas from Big Finish appears live on the show to interview Jason!

David Barsky then joins Jason by Skype from Los Angeles to rap about The Space Museum, and to vigorously debate the most recent Disney+-streamed season of Doctor Who.

In the audio essay, Jason compares all four extant versions of Space Museum: TV, novelization, and both surviving scripts. With comparisons to the music of Elvis Costello.

Audio heard in this episode sourced from YouTube:

--Elvis Costello and Paul McCartney studio version of Veronica.

--Elvis Costello's studio version of My Brave Face.

--Elvis Costello's infamous 1977 appearance on Saturday Night Live.

It's our second straight Patrick Troughton novelization on Doctor Who Literature -- before we jump into four straight William Hartnell books -- and this week it is time for The Faceless Ones.

Joining Jason this week is Shannon Sullivan of A Brief History of Time (Travel), the indispensable online resource for the production history of Doctor Who. Jason and Shannon have known each other for 30 years but haven't spoken in person since The Wilderness Years. They have a rousing conversation on Doctor Who, game shows, the 1993 baseball World Series, and so much more besides.
