We return from our unannounced hiatus to wish you season's greetings and announce our imminent relaunch with an exciting new 'audio zine' format coming in 2011.

To give you a little preview of things to come Nat, Erik and Katrina read the first three parts of a longer Eleventh Doctor Christmas fan fiction story by LiveJournal user betawho, Wherever It's Christmas.

Show Notes

Introduction

@ 1 minute 17 seconds - Nat welcomes all listeners and announces the new fandom-focused 'audio zine' format coming in 2011.

Bridging the Rift is changing, plans are afoot to reboot our universe and regenerate into an all new format with less of a focus on the content of each Doctor Who, Torchwood or Sarah Jane series and more of a perspective on the fandom, its activities and its culture. We're planning to be a little less like a discussion podcast and a little more like an 'audio zine', with several shorter segments across each 'issue'. And much like zines, we're looking for writers to submit personal stories or articles on fandom's culture and history, correspondents to report on different types of fan activities and for more of a variety of fan creativity to feature within our virtual pages. 

Wherever It's Christmas by Betawho

Fan fiction will be a regular feature of our new format, so as a preview of things to come and a festive present from us to you, we give our first Bridging the Rift fan fiction reading, the first three parts of a seven part Eleventh Doctor Christmas story by LiveJournal user Betawho:

@ 2 minutes 50 seconds - Nat reads part one of Wherever It's Christmas by Betawho:

“We missed Christmas!” Amy declared from the top of the stairs.

Rory and the Doctor looked up from where Rory was handing the Doctor tools as the Time Lord fixed something under the console.

“Nonsense,” the Doctor said, “this is a time machine, it can be Christmas anytime you want.”

@ 7 minutes 40 seconds - Erik continues the story with part two...

http://betawho.livejournal.com/25740.html

“But we can't,” Rory protested. “It’s 60 feet tall!” He stared up at the huge pine tree the Doctor had chosen. 

“It’ll fit in the Tardis,” the Doctor said, hands in his pockets looking up at his tree with satisfaction.

“Even if it’ll fit in the console room, how would we get it through the door?” Rory asked.

@ 13 minutes 50 seconds - Katrina concludes our reading with part three...

Amy hung the last decoration and stepped back.  It was the most beautiful Christmas tree she'd ever seen.  And it was entirely covered in junk.

Well, not entirely, she admitted.  They had managed to find one box of old Victorian Christmas ornaments.  But the rest was pure improv, sparkly bits ranging from fluid links to fiber optic cables that the Doctor had wired up to flash in different colors.  They had even made some tinsel out of some silvery, shredded alien packing material.

Read the remaining four parts of the story at betawho.livejournal.com starting here:

Call For Content and Contributors

@ 17 minutes - Nat expands on our new audio zine format and calls on potential contributors to get in touch.

If you've particularly enjoyed reading any Doctor Who, Torchwood or Sarah Jane Adventures fan fiction that you think would be a good fit for Bridging the Rift please do get in touch, and if you could write articles or essays, could be a correspondent for a particular subject or have any other suggestions for content that might fit our new fandom-focused audio zine format do please pass them on by email to our GoogleMail address, in the comments at our Wordpress blog or directed @BridgingTheRift on twitter.

We'd love to show off the talents of fan artists by including different cover artwork for every issue, so if you're an artist or photomanipulation wizard who'd like to get involved, and especially if you could help us develop a new logo, please do drop us an email.

Trocking Out

@ 18 minutes 24 seconds - If you're in the mood for some christmas music, we heartily recommend the Trocklafane podcast, the only podcast dedicated solely to Doctor Who trock music whose christmas special is out now at trocklafanepodcast.wordpress.com or on iTunes, you may also enjoy the fabulous Oodcast's christmas single, It's Bigger On The Inside available at theoodcast.com.

See you all in 2011!

It's our Christmas show. Oh dear. Anyway, we look, as required by law, at The Horns Of Nimon, Wyn's parent or guardian gets in touch, there's a Festive missive from Mr. Chinn at the Ministry and all sorts of goodies... Be aware: this show contains singing. Um... Sorry about that...

It's just one day until Christmas and the Doctor Who special A Christmas Carol so I preview that episode in this episode, as well as talking about the Australian TV series K9.

Waffle On About Planes, Trains & Automobiles

Hello and welcome to the Christmas edition of Waffle On and what better way than to reminisce about a classic feel good Christmas film from John Hughes. Planes, Trains & Automobiles came out in 1987 and is actually a Thanksgiving set film but hey, come on it feels and looks like a Christmas film and as we in England don't celebrate thanksgiving we class it as a Christmas film. Starring Steve Martin and John Candy in the lead roles this films which is basically a road movie comedy, it is packed with laughs, slapstick and of course feel good moments.

We pack this episode of Waffle On with clips from the film and a couple of songs featured on the soundtrack. Many thanks go to Jen Rhodes from The Anomaly Podcast and Stephen Curtis from Tiny Bronco Productions who sent us mp3 comments about this film

As is our norm these days we play a classic song from the film after the promo's so please do listen through and enjoy the brilliant tune.

Finally may we take this moment to say thank you for staying with us in 2010, we cant wait to bring you more Waffle On's in the New Year, so please do have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Meds and Kell.

The stream of commentaries that the Three Who Rule have been unleashing upon the world for the past several months finally concludes with their real-time review of the Series 5 finale The Big Bang. And what an episode to go out on, all three were as admiring of the story as they were when it first went out in June and nothing has changed in the mean time. Also of note, this is Warren's last episode from China, a nation whose internet connection is almost as dodgy as its human rights record. Next week: new Doctor Who in the form of A Christmas Carol. And we can't wait, either.

Summary:
Adam J Purcell, Andy Simpkins and Keith Dunn sit down, stupified, in front of the 1979 Doctor Who story, The Horns of Nimon, and spout our usual nonsense!

Romana’s screwdriver is more impressive than the Doctor’s, the Co-Pilot’s flashing his underwear and Soldeed is chewing through the scenery. But enough of their problems, please sit down with us to dissolve your sanity to The Horns of Nimona|

See if you can spot the points where we each lose the will to live!
