I can think of worse ways to spend my time.

I just watched that Joker movie and now every time I see the word Smile I think of that song that tells you to Smile all the time. You know, Smile if you want to, Smile around the world, the B-52s one. I’m pretty sure that’s called Smile too. Wait no hang on that might be Roam. It’s Smile, written by Frank Cottrell Boyce and aired on April 22, 2017.

This week we cover story #103, the Armageddon Factor! The Doctor and Romana trace the last segment of the Key to Time to the planet Atrios, locked in a deadly war with the planet Zeos. But where is the Key segment hidden, and who is this mysterious Shadow interfering in their plans?

QotW: The Doctor has gone by many nicknames & aliases. If you were to give K9 a nickname or alias, what would it be?

Join us next week for our review of Doctor Who story #104, Destiny of the Daleks! You can rent the DVD from Netflix, or try to buy the DVD from the usual retailers, but as of recording it looks like stock is running out and this DVD may be out of print. It looks like your best bets may be BBC Doctor Who shop or the Barnes and Noble Marketplace.

The original TARDIS crew land on Marinus and sent out on an adventure suitable for a Republic Serial. We unravel the good and bad of this patchwork tale.

This week, we learn that the mortal enemy of showtunes is capitalism, that the mortal enemy of some Doctor Who fans is fun, and that the mortal enemy of the Doctor has descended upon Depression-Era New York in an exciting new thematic guise. The show must go on, in spite of the Daleks in Manhattan.

Notes and links

The idea of the City as a hostile, inhuman place is found in Fritz Lang’s masterpiece of German expressionist cinema Metropolis (1927) and the terrifying version of 1980 depicted in Just Imagine (1930). Both of these are inspired by the looming monuments of architect Hugh Ferriss’s cityscapes.

On a lighter note, Busby Berkeley choreographed lavish dance number for both Broadway and Hollywood during the era of the earliest move musical. Take a look at some examples here.

Andrew Garfield’s big break wasn’t that superhero film at all: it was his film début, Boy A (2007).

It’s been some time since we did this, so here’s a link to El Sandifer’s discussion of this entire story on TARDIS Eruditorum.

As is customary at the DWP before we launch into a new series of Doctor Who, we have a look at the information we know so far about the upcoming stories and see if we can figure out what they are about.

The investigation team of Trevor, James and Ian have scoured the internet, looked under the floorboards and tried a sneaky mind-meld with Stephen Moffat to bring you the good oil on Series 7B.

As we are discussing spoilers about unaired stories, if you are sensitive to these sorts of things, this probably isn’t the episode for you.  We do not talk about anything that isn’t already publically available.

Ian and Michele also have a chat about Life Without the Ponds – we are entering an era of the show that does not have our second favourite married couple as part of the TARDIS crew.  Will the show survive?

This week, we learn that the mortal enemy of showtunes is capitalism, that the mortal enemy of some Doctor Who fans is fun, and that the mortal enemy of the Doctor has descended upon Depression-Era New York in an exciting new thematic guise.

In which Danica is a war criminal.

On this week's episode, we reach the end of The River Song Timeline with "Forest of the Dead", in which there's more flesh eating darkness and some heart rending sadness. People run! Some of them die. Others don't? And then there's a thing that happens with a screwdriver. So you know. Spoilers.

Outro music is "Confident" by Demi Lovato.
