With a flash of light and a cloud of smoke the Scrolls Book Group reappears on stage to entertain and amaze you.  (Or at the very least distract you from the smelly tramp in the corner, the squalling kid in the back and that really creepy looking guy on the seat opposite - No, don't look!)

Ably assisted by Kehaar from Dissecting Worlds and guest contributer Gazbox in their skin-tight golden bikinis, we take a focussed look at Chistopher Priest's most celebrated work,The Prestige.  You may have watched Christopher Nolan's film adaptation and think you've seen this trick before but trust us, there's a whole lot more going on in the wings.

There are spoilers throughout - we couldn't really avoid them - but have we really revealed the authors secrets... or has he left us bamboozled and looking in the wrong direction?

Ah, 1968.  Robert Kennedy was killed.  Nixon came into power.  The Vietnam War raged on.  And in the U.K., Doctor Who premiered "The Dominators," one of those few Second Doctor stories still available for public consumption.

Join us as we celebrate the North American DVD release of the story by taking a gander at the story and regurgitate our critical opinions.  Is "The Dominators" a finely aged wine?  Or a long-spolied swill?  Listen and find out.

We have a contest going on.  Send us some clever audio feedback and we'll send you...um something.  Send it to tardistavern@gmail.com.  Oh, and while you're at it, get at us on Facebook.  Also, read Sean's impressions after a box of red wine via Twitter: @tardistavern.

“I must know what happens when The Doctor Who Podcast touches human flesh”

When we are not recording the latest amazing episode of The Doctor Who Podcast, the titanic trio are on the DWP forums marvelling at a thread that has grown, Krynoid like, since Matt Smith took over the reigns as the Doctor.

The thread in question is the Who is River Song thread. In this magic part of the forum, our members have been wondering, discussing and disecting various theories, information and flights of fancy over who the character of River Song really is.

We thought it was time the podcast weighed in our ideas as well as discussing the ideas already present.

To round off the episode, James and Trevor review the DVD release for a classic Tom Baker story, The Seeds of Doom.

Keep those questions for the Gallifrey convention quiz showdown, details of who to send them to are in this episode.

Next time, we'll be discussing the oft-maligned Timelash!

Yes, "World War Three" is better than "Aliens of London." Which is somewhat like saying a stab wound is better than amputation. All the same, there's some important and valuable stuff in RTD's otherwise least-successful Doctor Who story.

PLUS an announcement: there's a trivia throwdown coming at Gallifrey One between The Doctor Who Podcast and Staggering Stories. I'm moderating this cataclysmic struggle, so I need your trivia questions and answers. Send them to quiz@twominutetimelord.com by February 10!

Two stories are covered in this episode - the 1996 TV Movie starring Paul McGann; and David Tennant's second story "New Earth". I've not really liked either in the past, so what do I think of them on reflection?
