Episode 168: Disc Man with Ed Stradling

Another terrific guest materialises for this long form conversation on a fascinating Doctor Who connection with regular Type 40 host and remote-control freak, Dan Hadley.

Ed Stradling moved from a career in law, to producing for TV, fuelled by researching classic television and Doctor Who in particular. A key contributor and innovator in the original range of classic series DVD’s which raised the bar for value added material, or “special features”.

Here he recounts many of his greatest hits, an idiosyncratic fandom and potential future projects? The Fandom Podcast Network is proud to continue bringing listeners this essential companion the Whoniverse HERE:

The Doctor Who Appreciation Society is 50 Years old and if that’s not a good enough reason to check back in with DWAS Co-ordinator Tony Jordan? When would be!

Episode 166: Found! Missing Episodes Update Spring 2026

Doubtless you were as delighted as we were, to see the news of two fresh re-discoveries of previously lost classic Doctor Who episodes from 1965, a few weeks ago…

Our Type 40 regular discussion panel couldn’t wait to get together and speculate on the where’s, how’s and when’s as the story was continuing to break! What a treat to be joined by one of the fandom’s most knowledgeable voices and engaging podcasters, Tim Burrows as our guest.

The conversation focusses not just on the episodes themselves but inspiring work being done to preserve the films containing those William Hartnell finds by a team of volunteers, for registered charity Film Is Fabulous!

Tim gives us the inside track on the day classic series star, Peter Purves was treated to a top secret screening and how we can all help further the efforts to locate and preserves more? You can listen in HERE now:
