"They've annuals and CDs
Some 'Doctor Who'-themed teas
And lots of DVDs

The Archives Family!

Their house is full of rubbish
And books on 'Worzel Gummidge'
Their laptop's sometimes sluggish
The Archives Family!"

Sometimes we plan things, somethimes they just sort of... happen.

When Episodes 28 and 29 of 'Round The Archives' get released, they might well give the impression that they belong to the former category, but anyone who knows us well will rightly guess that they're really more of the latter.

Now is probably the time to announce that 28 and 29 will form a two-part release (probably running closer to one hour than two for once!) based around some of our favourite shows from America.

We are certainly not an unknown quantity in the US, with this blog currently standing at 6500 pageviews there, compared with the 10,000 or so in the UK, but the podcast itself doesn't quite match that ratio. Looking at the latest numbers, the complete run of 'Round The Archives' episodes has been heard 346 times in America, but just over 2700 times over here.

So anyone who can give us some exposure beyond there shores will officially go on our list of Nice People. Thanks in advance!

Now, our plans are not fully in place, but if you've noticed the poll I've put up this morning (asking people the almost impossible question of making a choice between the original runs of 'The Munsters' and 'The Addams Family') might give you a clue or two as to what we're intending to cover.

In addition to this, we're hoping to make the final episode of 2018 a bit more Christmassy than the final one of 2017.

And yes, that's 3 episodes we're attempting to cram into 2 months!

Will 'Round The Archives' succeed?

Can Martin Holmes help?

(And other slightly re-written 'Radio Times' entries for Season 19 of 'Doctor Who')

Episode 27 of 'Round The Archives' can still be heard here, of course. Tell your friends!
