Doctor Who – Phobos airs this weekend

By John Freeman on January 27, 2007

Writer Eddie Robson has just dropped me a line, to plug the first of three episodes he’s written in BBC7’s Doctor Who radio series, entitled Phobos. If you can get digital radio through a DAB radio, a Freeview box or online at www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7/index.shtml (and people all over the world can make use of that last option, not just those in the UK) then you can hear it at 6pm on Sunday 28th January.

If you miss it, it’s repeated at midnight or you can listen to it at your leisure any time in the next six days by logging on at www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7/listenagain/sunday (it’s got last week’s schedule up at the moment, but that should change overnight and be ready for listening on Monday morning).

And then, on the 10th and 17th of February, Eddie’s two-part story Human Resources is being broadcast. Same time, same things apply.
