Reality Bomb Episode 058
On the fifty-eighth edition of Reality Bomb, Graeme Burk brings together a group of fans who had largely never seen classic Doctor Who until they saw it on Twitch TV including Katherine Climpson, Helena Lane and Evan Teng to discuss the joys of 1960s Doctor Who alongside classic series writer Andrew Smith. Also, Adrienne Enderle talks about golf ball-munching herbivores, fathers with trowels, Egyptian queens and genocidal maniacs when Dinosaurs on a Spaceship comes to the Gallery of the Underrated. And Joy Piedmont looks into The Caves – a rock opera about The Caves of Androzani – with its co-creator Christian Erickson. Plus, a salute to Graham Strong, who provided crystal clear recordings of so much 1960s Doctor Who… and we look back on the bittersweet memories of the omnirumour.
Stephen Cranbrook, who spoke in our segment about Graham Strong will be doing a charitable walk for St. Barnabas House, the hospice which looked after Graham. You can donate to this walk in Graham’s memory by visiting Stephen’s Just Giving page.

We then look back to when Doctor Who broke bad and lost its arms, its legs, it’s everything as Doctor Who writer Andrew Smith brings Nightmare of Eden to the Gallery of the Underrated. And Joy Piedmont talks to Sage Young, Petra Mayer and Michelle Tidmore about Doctor Who actors and the appeal they have that bring fans to conventions and the stage door. Plus Bruce and Darren travel to a parallel dimension to get a shelf with uniform DVD and blu-ray spines…but at what cost?
On the fifty-fifth episode of Reality Bomb, Graeme Burk and Joy Piedmont, emboldened by the #WhoAgainstGuns campaign, look around at the other ways Doctor Who fans are doing good. First we go back in time to learn more about the 1985 Fan Aid campaign to raise money for Ethiopian famine relief with then-organizer, now-author and writer Paul Cornell. Back in the present, we talk about the
