VISION ON SOUND EPISODE 163 - TX NOVEMBER 19 2023

STEVE HATCHER ON DOCTOR WHO

First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on November 19th 2023

There’s a lot of anniversary celebrations going on at the moment to commemorate the sixtieth birthday of one of those television perennials that crosses the void between archive and modern TV, DOCTOR WHO, and as here on VISION ON SOUND we rarely avoid any archive TV bandwagons, we thought we might have a bit of a chat this week about this old favourite.

With that in mind, this week I’ve invited back STEVE HATCHER to talk about the show and the part it has played in his life as an S-F fan who came to active DOCTOR WHO fandom comparatively late in life, but who then embraced it to the point where he has become something of a leading light of fandom, certainly as far as the DERBYSHIRE WHOOVERS are concerned anyway.

I think you’re really going to enjoy what I hope you’ll find a slightly different, slightly contemplative, and occasionally reflective hour, as we have a bit of a natter about STEVE’s life in relation to this remarkable and seemingly indestructible children’s television science-fiction series that adults still seem to enjoy and follow in a manner that few other shows seem to quite manage.
