The latest round-up of audio snippets in the Doctor Who at the BBC series, presented by Elisabeth Sladen (alias Sarah Jane Smith), focuses entirely upon the new series, starring Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant.
The earliest clips in this largely chronological collection come from March 2005, with Eccleston being interviewed on Radio 1's Oneclick and Jo Whiley shows, while the latest comes from April 2009, when Tennant made a return visit to the Jo Whiley studio. In between, we hear Freema Agyeman enthusing to Radio 5 Live's Simon Mayo about her role as Martha Jones (March 2007), Tennant interviewing Kylie Minogue in Radio 2's Re-X-amining Kylie (December 2007) and Catherine Tate interviewing Tennant in Radio 4's Chain Reaction (February 2008), among others.
It's interesting to compare the public personas of Eccleston and Tennant, and in this regard the soundbites from Jo Whiley's show are the most revealing. Eccleston was never a huge fan of Doctor Who, so he fails miserably at Whiley's "name that monster" challenge. By contrast, Tennant, who was and is a devoted fan, fares a lot better. We also witness Whiley's own burgeoning fandom in clips from 2005, 2006 and 2009.
As with previous volumes in this series, it would have been nice to hear some of the programmes in full, especially Chain Reaction. There would certainly have been room for the latter, as the running time of this double CD is unusually short (95 minutes). Material from BBC Radio's copious Christmas 2009 coverage is also conspicuous by its absence - precluded, no doubt, by this product's release date.
Nevertheless, there's plenty here to entertain followers of the Who legend.
