This week's show was previously released last year on the show's former feed over at tto.mypodcast.com but I thought it would be a good idea to get my two previous shows about Cardiff onto the same feed, so here it is.

Before the main show you'll hear a short item of news, as a trailer for Doctor Who Live was released this week, which you can see here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bA5WQdm9a7g

Here's the dusty old show notes from when this show was originally released last year:

A comprehensive audio dairy of my 2009 visit to Cardiff the Capital of Wales. I visited the Castle, Mar Di Gras, The University, Cardiff Bay and even managed to spot Matt Smith filming a 2010 episode of Doctor Who(Which I later found out was Victory of The Daleks)You can see my photos of Cardiff here http://www.flickr.com/photos/tdrury/sets/72157622178529946/A selection of my photos of The Ianto Jones Shrine can be seen here http://www.flickr.com/photos/tdrury/sets/72157622187364550/

Resolved: There's absolutely nothing wrong with Doctor Who being made for kids AND adults, regardless of what comedian David Mitchell says. I'm more worked up about kids' properties being taken over BY adults, such as The Transformers, than about adults sharing in the enjoyment of a program that appeals to all ages.

Bit of a shorter one than usual due to technology hating us, but the guys still manage to tear into progs 1699 and "jumping on prog" 1700. Flint attempts to convince everyone Aquaman doesnt suck and Rich has FINALLY gotten around to checking out some of Dante's backstory.It'll put a tiger in your goddamn tank! As ever, spoilers throughout and non kiddie friendly language.

At long last, it's here! The second part of our massive, sprawling discussion of the latter half of series 5. Last time, we discussed the Silurian 2-parter and "Vincent & The Doctor." The conversation continues here as we dive into "The Lodger" and the 2-part finale, "The Pandorica Opens / The Big Bang."

Show Notes

Introduction

@ 1 minute - A brief intro and apology from Erik.

General Discussion

@ 1 minutes 40 seconds - We pick up where we left off, with a discussion of Gareth Robert's quirky "The Lodger." And yes, the towel scene gets mentioned. As the story was based on a 10th Doctor comic strip, we also talk about how well this episode fit the 11th Doctor, and which other Doctors we think could have done well with this story.

@ 15 minutes 15 seconds - We dive into "The Pandorica Opens," and the conversation naturally meanders over into its conclusion "The Big Bang," and we try to hit all the high notes: River Song! Young Amy! Plastic Rory! The Doctor Dances...poorly! Plus, Nat has a very interesting theory as to what the story's really all about. Also, stupid people are stupid.

@ 1 hour 2 minutes 26 seconds - An open call for feedback, especially a request that you bring our attention to any excellent Series 5 inspired creativity for our next episode.

@ 1 hour 2 minutes 50 seconds - Speaking of next episodes...back to our core strength--spotlighting your excellent works of creativity!

Trocking Out

@ 1 hour 3 minutes 25 seconds - We trock out to the excellent song "Doctor Who" by Parry Gripp. You can download this song, and many others, at http://parrygripp.com. They also have songs available via iTunes, and they have a great YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/ParryGripp.

If you have any feedback about anything we’ve discussed, you can send messages on Twitter directed @BridgingTheRift, comment on this blog post or send short MP3 feedback to our GoogleMail address.  You can also "like" us on Facebook and leave comments there.

Oh corks! This time around Tony and the Face of Bob have a look at the first Jago and Litefoot play - and rather like what they see. There's feedback - do feel free to send yours to show@flashingblade.org.uk. Also, for those wondering about who'll now be climbing in a bath and rolling down hills on the Jasmin Allen estate, well....
