But not only that it's Eccleston all the way in this weeks news also, with more on why he left Doctor Who and also his upcoming appearance at this years London Film Comic Con.

But in our review of The Long Game, the lads focus on the power house companion Adam and just how little he brings to the table.

Hello! We are back with a commentary and ancillary gubbins for the first episode of Series 2 of new Doctor Who: New Earth.

We’ve come far since the days of styrofoam avalanches … but not that far.

This is the longest episode we’ve put out in a long time. It’s over an hour and a half long, and somehow it’s actually sort of interesting for the entire episode, which is really saying something. Remember our War Games episode? Good times. It’s Utopia, The Sound of Drums, and Last of the Time Lords, written by Russell T. Davies and aired on June 16, 23 and 30th, 2007.

Hello! We are back with a commentary and ancillary gubbins for the first episode of Series 2 of new Doctor Who: New Earth.

This month, we look back at our time at this year's (Re)Generation Who 4 convention in Baltimore, Maryland featuring many guests including Peter Davison, Colin Baker, and the first public appearance of Peter Capaldi since leaving the role of the Doctor! And if that's not exciting enough, we were very fortunate to grab a 10 minute interview with none other than Ian Chesterton himself, William Russell, discussing his time on The Adventures of Sir Lancelot!

After that, you can hear our live panel with comic artist Simon Fraser discussing what it's like to draw the Eleventh Doctor and why he chose Star Trek: Enterprise as his classic TV show.

All that and a recap from us of this year's fantastic convention.

Yay good serials!

Somehow, Kiyan and Dylan have made it to 7 weeks with their sanity intact. This week they watched The Sensorites, written by Peter R. Newman and aired in June and August of 1964. Many fun facts were said in this episode.

Now that it's April, we're fooling around with some ideas on what other fandoms might work for us, podcast wise. Because...well...you know...

As we try to recover from our trip to Gallifrey One, we explore the doctor's own recovery process from regeneration.  Each itteration of our favorite time lord has his own reaction to post-regeneration sickness.  From coma to crazy, this week we talk about who did what and what causes this bizarre condition.

This is not a joke, we’re done with Doctor Who.

Let the past die, kill it if you have to. And we did. Trust Your Doctor is dead. I’m sorry if you liked the show, but it’s done now. We’re going to replace it with a podcast that has much less overhead, it takes less time to make, and edit, and is just generally easier. Sorry. This week we review Trust Your Doctor Episode 1, which released on January 24, 2014.

Christopher Eccleston made news recently with articles about his time working on, and ultimate departure from, Doctor Who. We give our thoughts on these recent comments, talk about Lee’s upcoming trip to England, and more!Picking up where we left off in Episode 100, we review “Boom Town”, Episode 11 of Series 1. In our review, The Doctor, Captain Jack Harkness, Rose Tyler, and Mickey Smith face off with Margaret, the last Slitheen on Planet Earth. Episode 101 of Discussing Who is hosted by Kyle Jones, Clarence Brown, and Lee Shackleford.

(more…)

The Doc and Lucie materialise in Suffolk, Uzbekistan, and find themselves pinned twixt tank-driving mercenaries and some very autonomous villagers.

The post A009 Brave New Town appeared first on Who Back When | A Doctor Who Podcast.

Pirates, the High Seas, Swashbuckling and Walking the Plank, The Curse of the Black Spot has it all yet doesn't quite come through with a great story to go along with it. Instead we have The Doctor being wrong most of the time, an alien EMH, Rory dying (yet again) and Amy seeing faces in the wall. Breaking out the rum might be the best choice for the story.

Excitement abounds this week at The Whoseum as we reveal details of our partnership with the Doctor Who Appreciation Society’s CAPITOL3 convention as their official podcaster.

But eventually we get down to our tribute to the late Peter Miles by taking a look at the Season 7 (1970) story – The Silurians. Along the way, we look at Peter’s work with Dusty Springfield, Jim Davidson latter career as a sex symbol and the most bad-ass recurring villain of the Pertwee era (it’s not what you may think).

SHOWNOTES

(00:00:00) One of Peter Miles’s lesser-known activities was as a jazz singer and, 50+ years ago, he duetted with his friend Dusty Springfield on “Can’t We Be Friends”. This track has recently been released by a major record company. Peter can be seen at 10 mins into this video clip contributing to a South Bank Show looking at Dusty Springfield.

(00:01:11) The Diddly Dum Podcast has been asked by the Doctor Who Appreciation Society to be the official podcasting partner of their Capitol3 convention at the end of April 2018.

(00:06:45) Hayden’s interview with Tony Jordan from May 2015 can be found on episode 33 of the Diddly Dum Podcast (starts at 01:41:45) which can be found here.

(00:07:02) Hayden’s first Saturday morning breakfast show on Cambridge 105Radio goes out on 07 April 2018 between 7am and 8am.

(00:11:25) The XS Malarkey Comedy Club.

(00:14:42) This clip is from the beginning of the Series 5 episode of Frasier – “Desperately Seeking Closure” which can be seen here.

(00:21:50) The Who at the Hoylake convention.

(00:49:40) Cult BBC TV series from 1975 with music by electronic pioneer Paddy Kingsland, who went on to score The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Doctor Who. The critically acclaimed BBC TV series, The Changes, was first broadcast by the BBC in in 1975, accompanied by music from electronic pioneer Paddy Kingsland, who wrote and recorded the score while working at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

(00:52:00) "Space Fall: A Blake's 7 Podcast" has recently been launched by friends of the show, David Kitchen and Richard Nolan. Every fortnight these two fans (and their guests) have a look at each episode of Blake's 7, in order, discussing what they love about it, but also going into more depth about the stories and characters. They'l also be looking at the guests stars, and including some fun segments such as "look, it was the 1970s", "what cool lines did Chris Boucher write for Avon this week?", and "player of the week"!

(00:54:56) “Colour Me Kubrick: A True…ish Story” (released in the US as Color Me Kubrick) is a Franco-British comedy-drama film directed by Brian W. Cook, released in 2005. The film stars John Malkovich as Alan Conway, a man who had been impersonating director Stanley Kubrick since the early 1990s. One of the biggest scams is when Conway promises to help establish Lee Pratt (Jim Davidson) as a headliner act in Las Vegas. Pratt is a British entertainer who’s had limited success as a flamboyant dancer and stage singer. Pratt is described as a “low-rent Liberace with an Elvis gleam in his eye.” The singing clip can be found here.

(01:31:00) One of Peter Miles’s lesser-known activities was as a jazz singer and, 50+ years ago, he duetted with his friend Dusty Springfield on “Can’t We Be Friends”. This track has recently been released by a major record company. Peter can be seen at 10 mins into this video clip contributing to a South Bank Show looking at Dusty Springfield.

(01:31:58) This clip is from the sixth episode of Series 1 of Blake’s 7 – “Seek Locate Destroy”. It can be found at 00:18:40 here.

(01:39:19) This closing music is “The Manchester Rap” (1990) by The Bosnians. A slightly (but only slightly) exaggerated parody of the Manchester/Salford accent.

The Diddly Dum Podcast acknowledges the copyright of anyone we've pinched anything from.

In this Time-Dialated, Gallifrey One-facilitated interview show, two popular media observers with impeccable DOCTOR WHO credentials — Yer Actual Keith Telly Topping and The Incomparable's Jason Snell — help me look outside the fishbowl to see just how well our favorite television series is doing in the wider world of SF fans and TV viewers.

Plus we make a singular phone call to Hayden.

In this episode Phil & Paul return once again to the world of Big Finish with a look at the 2002 story Spare Parts starring Peter Davison and Sarah Sutton.  This story is widely regarded as a classic of the Big Finish range so it was with much trepidation that they recorded this review.  Will they agree on its classic status or is it a fuss over nothing and the hype machine has worked overtime?  Listen to find out but beware, this review is full of spoilers!

And in the news this week, casting news for series 8, a cancellation of a Doctor Who tour down under, DVD news and Phil and Paul give their opinion on the missing episodes spat between Ian Levine and himself.  And in a short, sharp trip to Omega's Tat Corner there is future tat!!  Well, maybe.

The classic commentary returns to Radio Free Skaro, in the form of a brief but enticing little number known as "The Sontaran Experiment"! Despite its quick running time, the adventures of Styre and Friends packs in adventure, spills, stunts, Terry Walsh in an unconvincing wig, and a pint-sized pugilist from another world who just wanted to make friends through torture and rigorous scientific villainy. The Three Who Rule were happy to lend their bon mots to this drama, sometimes even staying on point and discussing salient matters on screen! Next week, the return of the Miniscope, with Eccleston-era director Joe Ahearne!
