Acheulean Age – Episode May 16, 2026

Program: Acheulean Age

Length: 120 minutes

I've been re reading books I loved as a kid, recently. Maybe it's to tap into my inner child. or to relive the glory days of being 6. Or the books are just good. That's always a possibility. I'm enjoying re reading these stories I either half-remember or don't recall at all. A few I remember differently. Currently, I've hit the 1960s/70s Dr. Who Novelisations streak, books that were old even when I was a child, and I am having the most lovely time going back into these. Novelisations of nostalgia. Nostalgisation. Today's tunes come from that place. Music I listened to while reading Doctor Who and the Tomb of the Cybermen by Gerry Davis, published by Target Books (not that Target), novel first published in 1978, TV serial broadcast 1967. Read along as we listen together, if you'd like!
