Publisher's summary
Six decades of BBC TV's most successful sci-fi series are celebrated in this collection of radio programmes.
In Who Are We (The Classic Years and The Modern Years) Jo Whiley takes a trip through the Whoniverse to find out how the changing attitudes of Britain have been reflected through the TARDIS's travels. It’s a tale that features Dalekmania, Dad’s Army, Mary Whitehouse, Ridley Scott, Cybermen and the JFK assassination.
Jo also learns how Doctor Who thrived during the wilderness years of the show's cancellation, with fandom playing a vital role in its return. Along the way Jo is joined by fans, stars and writers of Doctor Who including Russell T Davies, Steven Moffat and Chris Chibnall. There are also archive interviews with David Tennant, Jodie Whittaker, Peter Capaldi, Matt Smith, Christopher Eccleston, Billie Piper, Kylie Minogue, Patrick Troughton and many more.
Meanwhile in Surviving Doctor Who Toby Hadoke presents a wry insight into the ups and downs of being one of the universe's most misunderstood species: the Doctor Who fan.
Who Are We produced by Paul Sheehan for BBC Radio 2. Surviving Doctor Who produced by Luke Doran for BBC Radio 4 Extra.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Story
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself. And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

Story
In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.
