Latest Podcast Episodes

WhilstJames and Trevor were at the Gallifrey convention recently, they challenged the fine folk at the Staggering Stories Podcast to a quiz showdown.

So, in the early morning of a typical Gallifrey convention day, the stage was set. Two teams, a set of microphones, and a willing and eager audience ready to cheer their side on to victory.

Hosted and presented by quizmaster Chip from the Two-Minute Time Lord Podcast, listen now to the two leviathians going head to head to claim the ultimate prize of quiz champion.

This week we focus on the ninth Doctor stories, The End of the World, The Unquiet Dead, Aliens of London, and World War Three.

Also a look back on the life of Nicholas Courtney, or as Doctor Who fans best know him Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. We recall our fondest memories of The Brig.

And finally we lay out the stories we will review in next week’s podcast for those who might be watching along with us.

Galltfrey One is over, and the post con blues were made even worse this week by the news of the sad passing of Nicholas Courtney. We therefore decided that we should review a UNIT episode of Doctor Who this week. So we tried to think of the most typical story from that era, one that had everything that you could possibly want from a UNIT episode. Unfortunately, we couldn't download "Terror of the Zygons", quickly enough, so we ended up watching "The Claws of Axos".

Also this week, Paul takes a wander back through his drink addled memories of Gally, Chris pretends to be a smurf and Little Pete levels some disturbing accusations at the episode in question.

In honour of the great man himself, this week's secret word is simply "Brig".

The Master is hamming it up and Scott and Matt are in stitches while discussing the Paul McGann TV movie. The Doctor gets gunned down, regenerates, and has to fight the Master in 1999 San Francisco. Can the Doctor pull it together long enough to remember who he is and stop the Master from stealing his remaining regenerations and destroying the universe in the process? What kind of relationship does the Master have with Chang Lee? Where did the Doctor get those jelly babies? Find out on the newest episode of The Doctor’s Companion! And remember, BEWARE OF SPOILERS!!

Next Week: Christopher Eccleston and “The End of the World”!!

Sadly late on the day I returned to the UK from LA the news broke about Nick Courtney's death, I only met Nick a couple of times so I start by bringing a few memories to you.

Also this week the Fans behaving badly panel from Gallifrey One, a discussion inspired by the controversy around the character of Ianto Jones's death in Torchwood. That did of course happen back in 2009 so this is a more general discussion of how fans treat writers both online and in real life, I warn you it does get quite dark.

End theme tune is a remix of the Doctor Who Theme by Tony Gallichan of The Flashing Blade Podcast, Tony can be contacted here show@flashingblade.org.uk

The world of Doctor Who lost one of its icons this past week, and all fans are mourning the passing of our beloved Brigadier, Nicholas Courtney. The highs from Gallifrey came crashing down as the news of Courtney’s death hit earlier in the week, and it was only fitting that a Courtney tribute episode be recorded. We welcomed Doctor Who script editor, New Adventures author and Doctor Who Magazine editor, Big Finish producer and life-long Doctor Who fan Gary Russell on the show to reminisce about his experiences with the wonderful Mr. Courtney. Please join us as we remember Sir Alastair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, the man who portrayed him as well as cover the news of the week.

We're in full-on Time Dilation mode, all right, as I catch up on some of the reflections on last weekend's Gallifrey One 22 convention. Chicks Dig Time Lords co-editor Tara O'Shea and I talk about fandom, feminism and the digital world the next generation of Doctor Who fans inhabits. Then, I spend some time with the longtime volunteer whom I helped excavate the convention's official TARDIS: actor, comedian and Gallifrey One auctioneer and master of ceremonies Tadao Tomomatsu.

Regular two-minute podcasts will return soon!

This time we look at The Dalek Invasion of Earth. There's also a couple of Big Finish reviews by our listeners. Enjoy. Feedback to show@flashingblade.org.uk

Have aspirations of Starting Out as writer?  Want to hear the experiences of veterans and newly established authors?  Look no further.

Seizing the unique opportunity provided by the SFX Weekender this year, we collected an array of interviews from authors at various stages of their careers for your aural delectation.  We probe into achieving a publishable standard through proof-readers and tinkering, the benefits (and not) of Agents, and dealing with rejection; gleaning insights along the way on their writing and editorial processes and the mysterious mechanics of the publishing world.

Huge thanks to the contributing authors for their time and their trust.  If you have enjoyed their work, or if you would like to ask them any follow up questions having heard these interviews, please post messages at the following sites:

Authors by and large get very little direct feedback from their readers, so make their day and show them your love (and if you've enjoyed this episode of Scrolls, for goodness sake let them know that as well.  It will increase the likelihood of them letting the bald-nutter-with-the-tiny-microphone interview them again in future.)

We will be recording Part 2 in early March, with the Scrolls team discussing topics spinning off from these interviews.  If you have anything occur to you that you'd like us to specifically discuss please contact us in the usual manner tweeting @scrollscast, posting on the forums at www.gsforums.co.uk or e-mailing us atscrolls@hotmail.co.uk

Keep writing.  And, er, reading.

And listening to us.  Obviously...
