Latest Podcast Episodes

In a heartbreaking series finale, Brendan, Todd and Nathan say goodbye to Katy Manning, as we discuss naked aliens, two-syllable names, dog-headed maggots and patronising the Welsh. That's right: it's Planet of the Daleks and The Green Death. Goodbye, Jo. You were fantastic.

Planet of the Daleks was released in 2009/2010 as part of the Dalek War box set. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

The Green Death: Special Edition was released on DVD in (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Planet of the Daleks

Mark Gatiss gets to read his very favourite Target novelisation, Terrance Dicks's Doctor Who and the Planet of the Daleks. Which is nice. (Audible US) (Audible UK)

David Graham was once of the original Daleks way back in 1964. In 2015, at the age of 88, he reprises his role as Lady Penelope's chauffer Parker in Thunderbirds Are Go. You can see the trailer for it here.

The Seventh Doctor returns to deal with the frozen Dalek army in the Big Finish audio Return of the Daleks.

Brendan mentions a very rude re-edit of Jon Pertwee reading the Planet of the Daleks novelisation. It's by the Doctor Who Breastoration Team, so you've been warned.

And here's a comparison of the 1976 cover of Terrance Dicks's novelisation and Clayton Hickman's loving tribute to it for the 2009 DVD release.

The Green Death

Rachael Carson's 1962 novel Silent Spring talks about the damage caused to the environment by the use of pesticides. We talked about it when we discussed Planet of the Giants, oh, so long ago. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

The giant flying bird feet on Metebelis 3 reminds Brendan of the worst monster fight ever in a Godzilla movie. Watch it: it makes Planet of the Dinosaurs look like Jurassic Park III.

Harry Mudd and Captain Kirk explode an android's brain using the Liar's Paradox in the 1967 Star Trek episode I, Mudd.

And, of course, here's Peter Cushing Lives in Whitstable by the Jellybottys.

Picks of the Week

Todd

Todd picked the Sarah Jane Adventures season 4 serial The Death of the Doctor. It's a DVD extra on The Green Death: Special Edition, so you might already have a copy without even realising it!

Brendan

The Big Finish Companion Chronicle Find and Replace, features Katy Manning playing both a future Jo Grant and the inimitable Iris Wildthyme.

Nathan

In 2015, Russell T Davies had three linked shows on Channel 4 in the UK: Cucumber, Banana and Tofu. Cucumber follows the story of Henry Best, a 46-year-old gay man living in Manchester, Banana is an anthology show, mostly featuring younger queer characters from Cucumber, and Tofu consists of actors from the other two shows and ordinary people discussing issues of sex and sexuality.

As Jamie joins the travellers, we talk about all things Scottish - English Gav’s amazing accent, stoner kebabs, and Scottish Ale.

Second Doctor, Polly, Ben, and Jamie

Scotland, 1745. The Doctor. Ben and Polly arrive in Scotland after the battle of Culloden and meet a band of highlanders who are fleeing in defeat. Their laird is injured and the three offer to help tend his injuries. Polly and Kirsty McLaren, the laird’s daughter, go to fetch some water but whilst they are gone the others are captured by redcoat troops.

Things become worse when the group is taken again - this time by the crooked solicitor Grey, who is part of the West Indian slave trade. The prisoners, Ben amongst them, are bundled on board the Annabelle where the wicked Captain Trask issues dire threats of drowning.

Meanwhile The Doctor is on dry land confusing all and sundry in a variety of disguises. However, his bumbling manner hides a sharp brain…

In this week’s show we review, two very different stories, both with a return of previous Doctor Who villains and monsters.

First, it’s Big Finish’s Eighth Doctor Adventures Season 3: number 4 Wirrn Dawn. Hear what we think of the return of the giant bugs.

Next it’s Titan Comics 12th Doctor Year 3 issues 5 through 7 with the Wolves of Winter story arc. And we throw in issue 9, The Great Shopping Bill for good measure. Find out our thoughts.

Also, we look at some of the things making news this week.

And, of course, your feedback.

The old west beckons again, but this isn't the wild west; just the town of Mercy. With 81 inhabitants, electronic lights, an alien doctor and a cyborg gunslinger lurking out in the desert. Naturally the Doctor is excited about the whole thing, though Amy and Rory less so. Of course the color of hats have nothing to do with anyone's alignment... at least this time.

With new episodes of Doctor Who on the horizon, Deb, Erika, Kat, and Tansy take some time to reminisce about series 7a and speculate about series 7b (not to be confused with serial codes 7A and 7B from "Trial of a Time Lord"). We also discuss costuming, cosplay, the rarity (or not) of watching Doctor Who in order, Big Finish audios, and perhaps most importantly, tapas.

Resources for watching Doctor Who in order:
WHO-50 (Tansy’s Doctor Who blogging project)
The Chronic Hysteresis
Running Through Corridors
Adventures with the Wife in Space
(This is a non-comprehensive list! Please feel free to add more suggestions in the comments.)

Also covered:
Doctor Who Yahtzee!
Prisoners of Time!
Doctor Who Magazine John Pertwee Interview!
Big Finish Sixth Doctor audios! (The Marian Conspiracy)

In which we put a phrase in a mausoleum. And there's a good chance that Brandon doesn't know what a mausoleum actually is.

This week, Series 10 continues with the second episode "Smile", and for the most part Brandon and Danica stay on topic. But then there's the potential of Torchwood porn and alternative meanings for the BBC. And also Danica is horribly insensitive about British history, but to be fair, the British are history's villain. Except when there are Nazis or sometimes the French.

Outro music is "Smile Like You Mean It" by Rhi Victoria

You may have been expecting a Gallifrey One wrap-up episode, and you'll get one, but not this week! The tail end of Gally was intense and emotional and busy and some of us needed a little space to process. Instead, you get something delightful and fun to tide you over. Hope you enjoy!

Remember when we played "Unfortunate Episode Titles" and Liz mocked poor Deb mercilessly? We sure do! That's why this week Liz takes over the podcast and runs Deb, Erika, and Tansy through her very own gauntlet of episode titles!

Who will win? Listen and find out!

Jason and Paul are back to review the episode “Smile,” the second episode of Series 10! What happens when social media communication and the ultimate pursuit of happiness goes wrong? This episode. Keep smiling while you enjoy your fishy jello and back away slowly…this episode could be dangerous.
