This week Peter Purves is joined by a true fan favourite, or as she calls it “The Fan’s Fan”, Doctor Who’s Sophie Aldred... best known as the explosive companion Ace.

Hello everyone. She’s battled Daleks, Cyberman and evils from the dawn of time.. and now Sophie takes on my infuriatingly unstable broadband!

I really did enjoy this conversation and I feel we heard stories never told before. As always we have lots in common being fellow travellers in the Who-neverse, and we have a distinctive bond, travelling with the first and last Doctors spanning over 25 years of the program.

In a word, Sophie is Ace!
