In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast....

Welcome the Fourth Doctor - Robot

Phil & Scott continue their series of looking at how good how each Doctor's inaugural stories were at introducing them to the waiting world, with Robot, starring Tom Baker. With a riff on King Kong and THAT tank, do the lads think this was successful in introducing the mighty Tom Baker to the world of Doctor Who, and would Professor Kettlewell's hairstyle suit Phil?

  It's the dawn of the new millennium, and Winifred Bambera and her loyal team of Sergeant Jean-Paul Savarin and Dr Louise Rix are about to face gigantic new threats. As the danger levels increase, will our heroes rise to meet them - or will they crack under the pressure? 3.1 Kaiju by Robert Valentine Following an accident at High Skelton Research Centre, UNIT is called in. The dimension-crossing experiments of Dr Hazel Wayward have created a catastrophic chain reaction within the lab, but even as Bambera, Savarin and Rix get the meltdown under control, the energy levels rise. Something is coming through... 3.2 Debrief by Alfie Shaw Summoned to Geneva HQ, Brigadier Bambera is reunited with her old sergeant, Tomasz Zbrigniev. A UNIT operation has gone horribly wrong and it's up to Bambera to determine what happened. If she doesn't... it will kill them all. 3.3 Shatterpoint by Mark Wright Bambera and Savarin are under arrest - for murder!    

It came from beneath the ice!! Yes, sounds like the start of a 50s b-movie where some alien plant pod falls to Earth in the distant past only to be discovered by mankind and have it germinate and try to take over the world. It probably would have some sort of villain who hates mankind so much, he identifies more with the plants than with humans. Gosh, that also sounds exactly like our episode this week!

Good morning, and welcome to a brand spanking new series of Stace & Barry In The Morning!

This month, Barry is firmly on board the Curses sea plane, Stacey has seen 28 Years Later and does a phenomenal job not spoiling the ending despite wanting to talk about it REALLY BADLY, and the pair take a Test Drive to the Horn Of Plenty for their Musical Musings. All this, plus we are truly baffled by the new Street Fighter movie casting, and we chat a little about the James Gunn Superman movie (no spoilers; we haven't seen it yet!)

Start your day the Stace & Barry way; nerding out and giggling profusely!

With themes of crumbling empires, genocide and colonialism, did Phil and Scott have a fun time watching this classic from 1972? Well, they certainly get excited about the breakfasts at the Chislehurst Caves!

The Doctor goes home to Lagos, Nigeria, and finds themself trapped in a barbershop. In a powerful script by Inua Ellams, Ncuti Gatwa's portrayal of the Doctor is equalled by Ariyon Bakare as the Barber. There's much to like in this story, but Jo Martin was underused in her cameo — RTD, just give Martin her own series already. We thought shoehorning in Mrs Flood in this story was a tad lame. We'd have enjoyed seeing her wandering the Lagos marketplace ala Marcus Brody (Denholm Elliot) in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Also, we missed Varada Sethu as Belinda, but aside from a few grumbles, we quite liked this episode. Opening and closing music is "Aké" by Blick Bassy. We recorded this episode on 13 May 2025.

Arachnids in the UK; Adam and Kirby talk political story lines and get their cups and cards together in case of having to dispose of any long legged scary things.

  review   This title was released in July 2025. It will be exclusively available to buy from the Big Finish website until 30 September 2025, and on general sale after this date. It's Gina's hen-do and her Maid of Honour has booked a large manor in the Peak District. All her friends should be here - including Yasmin Khan, who's been mysteriously quiet whilst away on her travels. But Yaz is bringing a guest. Someone who isn't invited. Someone who might prove a little disruptive. The Doctor is joining the celebrations. Unfortunately, so is an ancient enemy... **Please note: the collector’s edition CD is strictly limited to 1,500 copies**

Ladies and Gents and everyone out there, we are back after basically a month to recover from Ncuti's last episode. And we needed something light, something entertaining and the animated recreation of The Savages fits the bill! Set as something of an allegory on anti-apartheid South Africa, The Savages lets you think one thing early on and then has you wondering who are the "real" savages. It's a very solid story and good animation and a hilarious twist that neither of us saw coming!

Erika and Steven wrap up the Canada Day extravaganza by dipping their toes into “Genesis of the Daleks” — will Erika love it? like it? hate it? Nobody knows yet, not even Erika!

It’s a real grab bag of news this week with Peter Davison critiquing the current series of Doctor Who, Peter Capaldi being cool as hell at Glastonbury, and a truly mammoth editorial by Chris about the Blu-ray for The War Games in Colour and the cost thereof given that it is only one disc. Somehow we get an hour out of this, and we also have an extensive interview with long-time friends and Televisual Specialists John Williams and Neil Perryman about their new podcast where they watch every television show ever made – World of Telly!

Waffle On about Asylum (1972)

Hello and welcome to this months waffle on in which Meds, Kell and regular guest host David Ray chat away about this classic horror film Asylum. 

It’s a film broken into four stories set in, well you can guess where and all connected to the proposed new Doctor played by Robert Powell. 

You can buy the film via this link https://amzn.to/3TNIZKI or watch it for free on YouTube like we did. 

As always please do share our podcast on your social media pages and if you can take time to leave us a review that would be fabulous. 

Having made a series of short hot take episodes on Season 2 of Doctor Who earlier this year, tonight we revisit Ncuti Gatwa’s final season with our ultimate cold take on it all, including tons of listener feedback!

Before then, our usual news and short topics segments, including CBeebies looking for its own Doctor Who series and RTD giving up his DWM column.

This time we explore one of the stories in the incredible opening two seasons of 8th Doctor audio adventures, Embrance the Darkness, written by Nicholas Briggs.

We ask the question, does this story contain one of the most electrifying cliffhangers in Doctor Who audio history? We'll let you decide when you hear it.

An actor who joined Big Finish during this time was Ian Brooker, who went on to perform in many Big Finish productions, including Dalek Empire, Cyberman and Pathfinder Legends.

Ian joins us to talk about his career, how he came to be working for Big Finish, and what else he has been doing in his ongoing acting career.

A fascinating discussion as always!

Theme music by Joe Kraemer.
