Surviving Doctor Who: An A-Z
Part 1 (of 2)
Part 2 (of 2)

My personal Doctor Who 60th celebration may have reached its end, but that's just in time for there to be lots of official celebratory shenanigans on TV and radio — mostly the latter this time round, it feels like (the 50th brought varied documentaries and whatnot to our goggleboxes, whereas the 60th is quite a bit lighter in that department).

Here's something that's likely to remain a highlight: professional Whovian Toby Hadoke provides a whistlestop alphabetical guide to what life is like as a fan of Doctor Who. Die-hard fans will recognise everything he brings up, so casuals or newcomers may find it a worthwhile primer. Either way, it's done with a fun wink-and-nod that characterises the best of Who fandom: we take it all terribly seriously, but know how to poke fun at ourselves, too.

[Listen to both parts (again) on BBC Sounds.]
