So it’s come to this… the final installment of the summer Classic Series Commentary series has arrived, and oh what an arrival it was. Delta and the Bannermen gets put through one end of the RFS grinder and goodness only knows what will come out the other end. Warren’s notorious hatred of Sylvester McCoy’s tenure underlies the episode, but what did he think of the story when all was said and done? Add to that the collective pants-wetting over the upcoming release of The Seeds of Doom on DVD and pretty much the entire gamut of human emotion comes through in this episode of Radio Free Skaro!

Ok, well, just as a little bit of filler, here's Tony's old interview with Sophie Aldred. Orignally done for the WhoCast a few years ago, I'm sure there's a few people who haven't heard it. Enjoy. Feedback to show@flashingblade.org.uk

Summary:
Adam J Purcell, Andy Simpkins and Keith Dunn sit down, nostalgic, in front of the first episode of the 2005 Doctor Who revival, Rose, and spout our usual nonsense!

The Doctor’s blown Rose’s job, Rose has a wandering hands problem and Mickey’s sucked in a wheelie bin. But enough of their problems, please sit down with us to enjoy Doctor Who: Rosea|

Here is the second wonderful (Well I say wonderful) episode of 'Who' - Is The Man Cast, where I review Doctor Who: The Beast Below, tap the microphone a bit, go of on a bit of a rant, ask a rather interesting question. if you want to leave feedback you can do so at whoitm@hotmail.com or on the Facebook group.

Another podcasters out there, send me your promos, I'd love to plug your shows.

(I do go on a bit of a rant on a bit of it...)

The DWP Quiz – Number 1

Something a little different from the DWP. Today marks the release of the first of the DWP quizzes, a semi-regular release in addition to our regular podcast.

In these episodes, the mighty brains of the DWP Campervan (Trevor, James and Tom… no really, it is Trevor, James and Tom) will take turns at being master of ceremonies and pose questions to the other two.

In this episode, James quizzes Trevor and Tom. The winner of this titanic tussle playsJames in the second round.

See how many questions you can get right!

And you the listener can help out by sumbitting questions for future contests. Listen to the episode to find out more details

Once more the horn of assembly has sounded. The slightly posh one and the two tossers have gathered to cast their gaze upon Carnival of Monsters. Along the way, they talk Who news, are shocked by what emerges from Barry Manilow's bag and indulge in some heavy plugging. You have been warned.

Ok, urgent pub visit done and dusted - look I had to get Summer out of the way so Clover could do a skype interview ok... don't you be judging me

Ok, blurb ahoy -


In which the awooga button is tossed on the ground and comprehensively stomped on so that everyone can get comfy and chat about the uber-fantasy that is Lord of the Rings.

Taking our cue from the Festival In The Shire we talk about the great works from all kinds of angles - discussing them in terms scholarly, as fans having a good time sharing our experiences, and as readers just celebrating Middle Earth for it's depth, history and grandeur. We also talk a load of old rot, giggle stupidly, mis-quote, mis-understand and mis-appropriate other peoples thoughts and theories.

But, you know, with style.

It's a monster show, so we've had to cut out the adaptations section just to keep it to a reasonable length. I'm guessing that could make a part 3 all of it's own at some point.

Welcome to another episode of your podcast guide to the murky underbelly of Geekdom.

News

We take a look at some of the news from the comic convention circuit including the Cardiff International Comic Expo, Meanwhile in the... mini con and The British International Comic Show

Week that was

Sticks, Rockfall,Rainbow Orchid ,The A-team, Vexxed and The Deep

Main

We take as look at some of the great evil master plans in the movies.

Welcome to -> HHG2W: Mostly Harmless Cutaway 24 <- Today Eric & returning guest-host Julian tackle something too big for their britches. Prepare yourselves as we inadequately tackle the first 2 parts of the recent EXTREMELY brilliant Steven Moffat & Mark Gatiss collab tele version trilogy SHERLOCK.

• Both hosts were entirely knackered while recording this episode.
• Can you tell?
  
• Eric said Pink Orchid when he meant Black Orchid.
• Eric said Time Flight when he meant Timelash.
• Do any of these items seem familar? We accidentally listed them on a prior episode.
• Thailand is obviously not to be confused with Taiwan. 2 Asian countries that couldn't be more different.
• These are, but a few of the descrepancies we caught.
• Neither host has a racist bone in his body (that we are aware of).
• Both hosts were entirely knackered while recording this episode.

Julian: I'd really be shocked if Anderson wasn't the doctors companion in series 6...
