Hello new and long(-ish) time listeners, I wish to give you the first episode of 'Who' - Is The Man Cast, in which I review episode 1 of season 5 of Docotor Who: The Elevneth Hour. If you want to leave feedback you can do so at; whoitm@hotmail.com or at the facebook group.

And if you want to download this on iTunes, you have to type the whole name: 'Who' - Is The Man Cast.

or.. Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with some companions

Tom and James went on a works outing last week up to the wilds of Derbyshire to see what was going on at Whooverville 2, the convention that boasts being the only such event run in an engine shed. And they are right (we checked).

Tom was lucky enough to be the on-stage interviewer for second Doctor companion and all round screamer Deborah Watling. Deborah played Victoria Waterfield alongside the 2nd Doctor from 1967-1969. With the kind permission of the Whooverville bods we bring that interview to you in this episode.

The boys also managed to back Sophie Aldred (or Ace to her legions of fans) into a corner and ask her some questions. And to round off the day, Tom intimidated a Dalek.

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....

I present thee with the thrid episode of 'Who' - Is The Man Cast where I tell you some news (well old news now), review Doctor who the Victory of The Daleks, and get to some feedback I got. If you have any feedback to send in please do to whoitm@hotmail.com or at the Facebook group.

I appologize to Adam fom The 20 MB Doctor Who podcast for not mentioning his podcast, but go and listen to them please.

For those of you who want to listen to this podcast on iTunes I found out you have to enter the whole name i.e. 'Who' - Is The Man Cast.

The DWP Quiz – Number 2

In this quiz Trevor is the quizmaster for Tom and James.

Who will win? Who will shout rigged the most?

The Classic Series Commentary series has ended... only to be replaced by the Series 5 Commentary series. (Any more attempts to use the word "series" will likely cause another crack in time, so we'd best stop there.) We've given the news segment a bit of time off... something that breaks our fictitious award-loving hearts, but on the upside it means no stats! So sit back, relax and have a listen to The Three Who Rule talk about the glorious opener to Matt Smith's tenure!

It's the Manimal special! This week we have a bumper news section. We give our mini reviews of "Scott Pilgrim vs the World" and "Monsters". But in the main event, we suckle at the teat of Manimal. Yes, we are still a Doctor Who podcast but we had a brilliant email from a listener that ties Manimal into the Whoniverse. Unfortunately we couldn't read it out because we lost it (please email it again and we'll read it next week).

WARNING: When we say skip on 1 minute to avoid a spoiler, best to make it 2.

Martyn and Imran discuss Sherlock, Doctor Who: The Lodger, the Kai Owen interview and That 1963 Show.

They also get Glen’s view on Doctor Who.
