Peter Purves Remembers William Hartnell The First Doctor Who
Hello everyone.. In another special podcast, I remember the real William Hartnell. The first Doctor Who : the original, you might say... Much has been written and said about Bill over the years, and now, perhaps, it is my turn. No holds barred. I only hope I do him justice. This proved to be a particularly rewarding pod to put together. One question I found myself reflecting upon was this: when did I first become aware of Bill’s work? And that is where my tale begins… Along the way we explore a complex man who, in many ways, was both unusual casting and absolutely perfect casting for Doctor Who. I do hope you enjoy this and I very much look forward to hearing your thoughts on these recollections of Bill the man, the actor… and my friend. My Patreons got to hear and give feedback early to join and get exclusive content too https://www.patreon.com/cw/PeterPurves?l=en-GB Adieu.

Doctor Who’s Ace Sophie Aldred Meets Peter Purves
This week Peter Purves is joined by a true fan favourite, or as she calls it “The Fan’s Fan”, Doctor Who’s Sophie Aldred... best known as the explosive companion Ace. Hello everyone. She’s battled Daleks, Cyberman and evils from the dawn of time.. and now Sophie takes on my infuriatingly unstable broadband!I really did enjoy this conversation and I feel we heard stories never told before. As always we have lots in common being fellow travellers in the Who-neverse, and we have a distinctive bond, travelling with the first and last Doctors spanning over 25 years of the program. In a word, Sophie is Ace! Don’t forget you can enjoy exclusive bonus content at The Peter Purves Podcast | Patreon Adieu.

Dr. Who Convention Secrets with Peter Purves | Lost Episodes
Join me for what I hope is the first in a series of unique looks behind the scenes of a Doctor Who convention ..from a guest’s perspective! And what an event to start with. After years of rumours Film is Fabulous have made it possible for us to once again watch two more missing episodes of Doctor Who from The Daleks’ Master Plan. And they did not disappoint. For me, the biggest revelation is Douglas Camfield’s direction, really quite extraordinary. It was a wonderful day at Riverside Studios. This is my diary from the event, featuring Toby Hadoke, Nick Briggs and many others in attendance, along with my own perspective on what it’s been like to be at the centre of a remarkable month for the Doctor Who legacy. Thank you to the wonderful organisers and everyone I met. I hope you enjoy.
