Toby Hadoke's Who's Round 2 was the second episode of Toby Hadoke's Who's Round. In this episode, Toby Hadoke interviews Andrew Smith, who wrote Full Circle.

Synopsis[]

The intrepid Toby Hadoke seeks out not only another Doctor Who celebrity, but a slightly quieter place to interview him! This time, writer and high ranking police officer Andrew Smith is in the spotlight...

Not literally, of course. We can't afford a spotlight. But Toby does have a microphone. Thank goodness.

As many of you will know, Andrew wrote the Tom Baker story Full Circle, which was the third serial of the 18th season in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in four weekly parts from 25 October to 15 November 1980. At least, that's what it says on wikipedia! Andrew has more than that to say, and that's for sure.

Nominated charity: The Lily Foundation
