News is picking up a little plus we have some cool merch stuff to talk through before we plough onto our review episode The Long Game.

The News

US online retailer Hot Topic has won the LIMA (International Licensing Industry Merchandiser’s Association) Award for the second time since 2014. Ladies, if you’re after some swanky DW clothing, this is where you want to go.

A great sounding new Titan comic run is starting this Wednesday 6th July. Titled Supremacy of the Cybermen it’s a big cross over story featuring the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th Doctor’s and their companions, phew. It ties in nicely with both the Cybermen’s 50th anniversary and Titan’s Doctor Who Comics Day which takes place a few days later on the 9th July. Now would be a good time to dip your toe into the Titan comics.

The Doctor Who Magazine shows no signs of slowing down after its amazing 500th issue celebrations last month. Issue 501 is dedicated to Tom Baker and includes seven interviews packed with great insight into the man himself. Another month and another must pick up issue.

If you’re into your large hardback coffee table DW books then Doctor Who: The Whoniverse will be up your street. Coming out this October it features loads of information on human kind’s history within the DW universe, the birth of the Time Lords and lots more.

Last week’s competition

The winner of our Target book competition is… (drum roll please) – George Garrity. Congrats!

“The Long Game” Review

Eccleston’s series one is strong overall and you know we’re big fans at the BBB but The Long Game is one that’s often glossed over. Do we find good reason and agree with that or is it one of those hidden gems that deserves much more?

Thank you for all your reviews this week, especially those who threw audio clips over, you’re awesome. Next week we’re travelling back to the 5th Doctor’s era for Mawdryn Undead. Have a fantastic week and until next time – Allons-y!

THIS IS THE VOICE OF THE ONCOMING STORM. WELCOME TO YOUR NEW PODCAST EPISODE. THIS IS EPISODE 129. YOUR PODCAST LOVES YOU. HAPPINESS THROUGH LISTENING.  ahem. psst! Hey, wanna start a revolution? Josh, Rachel and guest host Dr. Scott Viguie only look like they work for the podcast. In reality, they want it to evolve, but there's a lot of stuff involving mind wipes and implanted memories that make it way complicated. Just check out their discussion about The Natural History of Fear by Jim Mortimore. It's filled with talk about dystopian societies, the Doctor's influence, and of course, the latest episode of televised Who. See! It's the seeds of chaos there! The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got eight limbs! You'll understand... just don't ask any questions!

2MTL may or may not return with the new season of Doctor Who, but I couldn't say goodbye without tipping my hat to the community of fans and podcasters that gave my life meaning during rough times and encouraged my creativity. What better way to do that, than by rerunning The Ood Cast's classic every-podcaster-and-the-kitchen-sink parody from Series 6, "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life"?

Look for me on The Audio Guide to Babylon 5, occasional panels on The Incomparable Network, and…who knows? Who…nose…?

In which we've fallen back onto or off of the wagon, depending on how you look at it.

It's been a while, but we're back with new episodes, and we're still travelling on the River Song timeline. Which gets confusing. But we're doing it. This week? It's The Time of Angels from Series Five and nothing bad happens at all! Except for, you know, all the horrible things that happen. Then it's straight onto pop culture, because we watch other things to, sometimes. When we're not doing comic store stuff.

Alright awesome talking with you all love you byyyeeeeee.
