This time we go right back to the original Big Finish spinoff that started them all, Dalek Empire. We'll share our thoughts on the four individual episodes and chat with creator Nicholas Briggs about the evolution of the story.
We'll also take a look back at our most recent series of live events featuring Janet Fielding and Sylvester McCoy, and reflect on whether we were totally insane to attempt to take on five cities around Australia in three weeks.
