Latest Podcast Episodes

Doctor Who is required and Scott and Matt are ready for a 60’s dance party while watching the William Hartnell 4-part serial “The War Machines”. The Doctor and his companion Dodo arrive in 1966 London and immediately investigate a strange energy being emitted from an artificially intelligent super computer called WOTAN. When WOTAN begins to hypnotize people into building an army of war machines that will be used to rule over humans, the Doctor (with new companions Ben and Polly) must find a way to stop it. Will the Doctor succeed or will he be brought under control by WOTAN? Will he even notice when Dodo disappears, never to return? What happens when you try to take a brow-mopping break in WOTAN town? Find out in the newest episode of The Doctor’s Companion! And remember, BEWARE OF SPOILERS!!

Next Week: David Tennant and “The Idiot’s Lantern”!!

Lindsey and Nick find themselves alone in the office this episode. There's plenty to talk about, though, and they find themselves embroiled in reviews of the 4th Doctor story, 'The Sontaran Experiment' and the recent 7th Doctor Lost Story audio from Big Finish, 'Thin Ice.'

A jam-packed show this week asJames comes back to the campervan, having brought back from his holiday a lovely little painted shell from the seaside.

James shares his thoughts on the Doctor Who Experience with his co-host from the Dad’s Army Podcast, Oliver Crocker. Just what will you, ah, experience at the Doctor Who Experience?

We also review a book by author Alwyn W Turner, The Man Who Invented the Daleks. As the title cunningly says, it is a book about the life and times of Terry Nation, who contributed to Doctor Who and a wealth of other British genre shows.

We also have some copies of the book to give away in our most fiendish competition yet! Thanks go to Ross from the Creeping with Armstrong podcast for donating an additional prize as well.

This week, we encounter the favourite episode of teenage boys and boob fans in general. The lovely Peri makes her entrance in a bikini, and Turlough exits in pervy swimming trunks. Let's all join Peter Wyngarde, as we order a burning and settle by the blaze to watch "Planet of Fire".

Go back in time with MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast as John & Will discuss the Patrick Troughton classic, "The Tomb of the Cybermen". What did John think of his first viewing? Why is this story a particularly appropriate one to discuss (hint: Matt Smith loves this story)? Can Will get any trivia questions right? It's all here in episode 37 of MS, discussing the 37th story in Doctor Who history!

Harry Medium’s final report from the Glastonbury festival. Including an exclusive interview with one of its star acts!

Sorry for the delay, the delivery guy showed up late with the files necessary to put together a show. I bet some of you were shouting at your iTunes feed “Them Vortex Boys didn’t really get this thing fixed!” Better late than never though, I always say. And I say it a lot because I am always late.

Anywho! This weeks episode we review more Tenth Doctor episodes, starting with the Christmas special, The Runaway Bride. Then on to the beginning of Martha Jones tenure as the companion with Smith and Jones, The Shakespeare Code, and Gridlock.

And Glenn tries to explain the ribbon culture at Galley but here is a link to a site that explains it much better: Ribbons at Gallifrey One Conventions

Enjoy!

Scrolls Book Group: Jennifer Government

Dion and Phil are joined by Carey 'Two-Monkeys' from Geektress and Matt 'The Grampus' from Dissecting Worlds to discuss near-future anti-capitalist satirical romp Jennifer Government, by Max Barry.

Spoilers abound, so as ever for these Book Group Specials you will get the most enjoyment if you read the book first. Don't feel you have to strain the bank though - why not help Save The Libraries and order in your copy as soon as possible. The book is a quick read and a lot of fun.

The next 'normal' episode of Scrolls will be recording soon on the theme of 'Gods and Sods' and the next Book Group Special is planned for September, featuring the brand new volume in the Game of Thrones saga A Dance With Dragons.

We'd value your feedback via e-mail at scrolls@hotmail.co.uk or via twitter @Scrollscast and you can follow our general banter @Dion_Scrolls and @Phlambler if you like.

We look at Paul McGann’s only televised outing as the 8th Doctor. Andi gets very serious and refuses to do the plot synopsis and Adam raises the question of whether The Doctor has a case against Grace for medical malpractice.

River Song's character timeline and the ramifications from her recent revelation are discussed this week on Doctor Whocast. Bobby, Brian and BJ run without their trusty companion Nancy this week, as a good woman has gone to war. It's not all straight-laced and investigative, however -- BJ tries very hard to sell himself to the Facebook community while Brian postulates a Rory Williams / River Song sitcom.

For months now, executive producer Steven Moffat has been promising a jaw dropping mid season cliffhanger for Series Six of Doctor Who. So, did it live up to the hype? And what will the big revelation at the end of the episode mean for the rest of the Doctor's social calendar this year? Join Lindsay Wood, Eric Mendoza and Derek Gladu as we collectively come to terms with ‘A Good Man Goes to War’.

Sunday at the Glastonbury festival

After quite a few false starts, the Who's He? trio managed to get their act together and bring you an audio commentary for the third Doctor story The Time Warrior.  Marvel as Phil and Paul set Tony a little quiz throughout the story and shake your heads in disappointment as they shamelessly plug breweries in the vain hope they will be sent a few crates of beer. All this plus Tony devises a system to remember actors names.

We’ve got a nice treat this week: a chat with Graeme Burk and Robert Smith?, editors of Time Unincorporated 3, a collection of fan writings about the new series of Doctor Who. And on top of that, there’s a Torchwood-heavy news list as the premiere of Torchwood: Miracle Day is now less than two weeks away…depending on which continent you live on, that is. And could it be? Blue Doctor Who?

Think of "The Long Game" as the mirror-universe version of "Torchwood: Children of Earth." Many of the same attitudes and philosophies Russell T. Davies portrayed in that later, much better work are present in "The Long Game." But in a cheap-sets far-future playground, it's much harder to muster finesse…

Shannon Patrick Sullivan's excellent A Brief History of Time (Travel) site breaks down the production of "The Long Game".

It’s Harry Medium’s birthday at the Glastonbury festival…

This week:

a) Tony is a right bully!

b) He and Bob look at Lucie Millar and To The Death..

Enjoy

Do you know anyone whose favorite Doctor is Colin Baker?  Yeah, neither do we.  One just can't resist to bring up "The Twin Dilemma" or that coat when discussing poor Mr. Baker.  Yes, we all know he redeemed himself quite well with Big Finish, but much of his television work on Doctor Who is questionable.

But it ain't all that bad.  There are those of us (including Sean) that feel "The Twin Dilemma" has its virtues.  But that's a topic for another podcast.  Today, as we're joined by the lovely Lord Zimon himself, we discuss "Attack of the Cybermen."

Bloody hands, a fat Cyber Controller, and a plot constructed of Swiss cheese.  What more can one really ask for, other than three opinions that span the spectrum about this slightly controversial story?

[Insert the usual feedback request here.]  Keeping it short: tardistavern@gmail.com, Facebook, @tardistavern, @tardistaverntit, @whomejz, blah blah blah...

Our June selection is Conundrum (ISBN: 0-426-20408-5), entry #22 from January 1994. This is a Virgin New Adventure by Steve Lyons featuring Ace and Bernice "Benny" Summerfield and a second encounter with the Land of Fiction, last seen in "The Mind Robber."* If you go here, you can read a prelude to the novel written by Lyons originally published in Doctor Who Magazine. From the back cover:

‘Doctor, we’re talking about an old man who used to dress up in a skintight white jump suit and fly around New York catching super-villains. Don’t you think there’s something just a bit unusual about that?'
 
A killer is stalking the streets of the village of Arandale. The victims are found one each day, drained of blood. And if that seems strange, it’s nothing compared to the town’s inhabitants.

The Doctor, Ace and Bernice think they’re investigating a murder mystery. But it’s all much more bizarre than that. And much more dangerous. 

Someone has interfered with the Doctor’s past again, and he’s landed in a place he knows he once destroyed. This time there can be no escape. 


We love "The Mind Robber," so we are totally, totally psyched to see what can be done with the concept of the Land of Fiction in the expanded parameters of a full-length novel. So, find a copy and read along, won't you?


*It's also the fourth book in the "Alternate Universe cycle," a continuing series of the New Adventures, but we don't think that will interfere with our enjoyment of it.

Thanks to everyone who's listening, and let us know what you think! You can send all feedback to dwbcpodcast@gmail.com, leave us a comment here, or catch us on Twitter: @dwbcpodcast, @tardistavern (Sean), or @sjcaustenite (Erik).

And so it begins... The old gits start their occasional look back at years passed by peeking at series 18 - 1980-1981. Enjoy. Feedback@dwowhocast.com
