With only one week until the first 60th anniversary Doctor Who special hits our tv screens, we go back ten years to the 50th anniversary and the 1963 Trilogy. Three stories centred around that very special year in Doctor Who history. The stories titles are 1963: Fanfare for the Common Men, 1963: The Space Race and 1963: The Assassination Games. As a special treat, we are joined by each of the authors, Eddie Robson, Jonathan Morris and John Dorney, who discuss their work.
