The book I was most nervous for Mark to read; subversive, wildly creative, brutal and high concept...but how did he find it?

Dylan and I tackle a collection of wonderfully eclectic and character driven 13th Doctor comics from the pages of DWM...

An iconic book (and absolutely deserving of the term), the NAs decide to take a toxic Doctor and give him some romantic therapy with amazing results...

Both the most stupid and the most frighteningly predictive book in the EDAs - somehow feel utterly disingenuous at times, and utterly riveting in others. Joe loves the chunky prose and action, Mark loves the exploration

Michael is the law, and I am his scummy criminal bitch! Doctor Who meets Judge Dredd...kind of. This is an ugly, nasty, unfinished book but we still found quite a lot to recommend it.

If you are looking to explore the eighth Doctor books further, here is a series of readings - funny, tragic, exciting, silly, touching - which tell the story of Anji Kapoor, the eighth Doctor's companion.

Easily the angriest episode of The Hamster Book Club, we discuss a hugely problematic book and discuss how a range wasn't cancelled on the basis of its offensiveness from the off...

Who on Earth was Trix Macmillan? A short story that dives into the possible backstories of the Doctor's companion cut short because of the return of the New Series...

Lovely Luke Sims-Jenkins takes 90 minutes out of his day to celebrate and condemn his top and bottom ten Doctor Who books...

An unpopular book, at the end of a popular arc, and introducing a companion that used to be quite unpopular...but has matured into somebody quite popular! Phew!

In the third part of our TV Movie, ahem, celebration, we take a look at a witty, silly, nonsensical script full of engaging characters and great performances...so how does the novelisation fare?

For once, Mark and I don't know what to think of a book. Is it good? Bad? Cluttered? Fun? Does it have something to say? Cliched? Funny? Racist? All of the above...

Lovely Steven takes a deep dive into the Widerness Years to explore his favourite and least favourite Doctor Who books.

We have a great time discussing this deranged, hilarious, clever and profound 11th hour EDA. Anthony joins me for the maddest reading of am outrageous scene towards the end. You have been warned!

Content warning (from the off!) - mass murder, frenzied violence, rape, prostitutes, misogyny, racism, cannibalism, spewing maggots, infanticide & whistle tootling all discussed within!

Joe & Jon are in in love with this book, Luke likes it a lot but finds some faults, and Andrew (who hasn't read it before) isn't sure it is the book he wanted...plus can anyone help us sort out the mythology here?

The edited and scored version of our YouTube Live Event - Find Your Fate - go on the exciting, baffling and verbally eccentric adventure with us! Pell Mell!

A republish of one of my all time favourite book clubs - the delirious fun that Michael and I had with this book will stay with me forever...

A conversation I enjoyed so much with one of the most charming contributors to Hamster and is share our stories of how Dan struggled with EDAs and I struggled with NAs in the first half of their runs and how we came to l

A much derided episode gets a novelisation - is it a chance to iron out the kinks or does it highlight its flaws? Why does Luke love it despite himself?
