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.

112 days until the 2010 Christmas Special.

ROLL UP, roll up, for The Key to Time, step right this way:

• It's here & it's about time! -> HHG2W: Mostly Harmless Cutaway 26.1 <- Today Eric & co-host Josh embark on a new quest to seek out The Key to Time. Get ready for some Tom Baker, Doctor Who season 16 action. Perhaps one of the most defined series arcs in Doctor Who to date, The Doctor and his ravishing new companion Romana I find themeselves on a daring quest to save all of life, the universe, and everything. Prepare yourself for The Ribos Operation, story 98 part 1.

WARNING:

• This commentary contains miscellaneous NuWho & Classic SPOILERS pertaining to Season 16 from September 2 - September 23, 1978. If you are 100% spoilerphobic to New & Classic epsiodes not yet seen, DO NOT complain to us. And as always there are strokes of innuendo throughout. If you're familiar with our commentaries you should've expected as much. If you're not, go back and listen!
  

DISCLAIMER:

• River Song is not literally the love child of Captain Jack & Romana I... Or is she?
  

DON'T PANIC

MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast returns with a trip to the distant past... and the far future! John & Will talk about the 1964 William Hartnell classic "The Dalek Invasion of Earth". There's talk about how it was filmed then v. now, the different viewing experience of the older shows, some great trivia questions along with LOTS of news about Doctor Who, Torchwood, Sarah Jane and even Sherlock! Take a listen!

We open our doors with welcome arms to Eric and Josh from the "Mostly Harmless Cutaway" podcast as we review -- between sloshes and swirls -- that old Tom Baker favorite, "The Masque of Mandragora."

Did "Doctor Who" have a "gay agenda" even back then?  Can Mandragora energy pilot the TARDIS without anyone knowing?  Can you ever have enough wigs?  And how does the Doctor walk away with nothing but a handful of sausage?  We touch on all these subjects (or at least stumble around them) as we put this compelling historical story under the microscope.

Tune in next time for our look at "The Mind Robber," the story chosen by last episode's contest winner.
