We take time out from rebuilding our server (and by 'we' that really mean Jay) to look back at the second Third Doctor adventure. This one really has all the pieces you've come to expect, lots of shooting, things blowing up, Bessie and rubbery costumes. All in all a rather fun romp with the Doctor and Doctor Liz Shaw.

Once again Phil and Paul turn their attentions towards the Doctors adventures in audio with a look at a 7th Doctor story from Big Finish titled The Dark Flame.  But is this one any good?  Is this a story that will make those who dislike Sylvester McCoys portrayal of the Doctor change their minds or merely serve as another example as to why they dislike him so?

And in a very short news section this week, British Pathe release old Movietone News reels containing very some fairly tenuous links to Doctor Who, the Hugo Award 2014 nominations are revealed in which Doctor Who dominates and as it's a slow news week, the latest news in John Barrowmans attempts at dropping hints that he'd like another series of Torchwood and appear again in Doctor Who.

Break out your sour cream, the Potato Heads are back! This time they are...working with a genious kid and his genious kid students? Ee, Er, WHAT??? It must be "The Sontaran Stratagem", part one of the two part 10th Doctor Sontaran story. It's the focus of our show this week. Tho, we must admit, sometimes our focus gets a little fuzzy.

WARNING: Contains rabbit chasing

An exciting time for Doctor Who and other genre fans in southern Alberta as they descended upon the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo in their thousands upon thousands to witness, among other events, the Matt Smith and Karen Gillan panel! Our own Steven files his report from the con, including audio from the panel itself! Later, Mark Ayres drops by to talk about the massive 11-disc box set containing music from 50 years of Doctor Who (available for pre-order now!), including shedding some light on those long lost Dudley Simpson tracks that are now available for you to buy! A jam packed episode celebrating a jam packed week in Doctor Who!

The Five Doctors-Part One! To lose is to win and he who wins shall drink! For no apparent reason The Others have decided to look at one of their favourite stories, The Five Doctors. As they discuss in this first part covering Part One & Part Two, this story really hit a sweet spot with them. It has influenced the technology they buy and seems to be a story that has been watched multiple times. This is probably a statement that applies to many fans of Doctor Who!

They discuss when this story was shown on PBS and how it was made available to multiple markets in the US on the anniversary date of November 23^rd, 1983. It is an interesting discussion spanning various discussions about viewing habits, beta tapes, bowling and Totinos pizza. There is also discussion about what an older Doctor is like when they come back to a series that is no longer their show. What part of their character is resurrected in an anniversary adventure like this? It's lovely and fun discussion that is not to be missed. Although not strictly a commentary, The Five Doctors is played in the background while the discussion is going on. The episodic version of The Five Doctors was used for this recording. We are The Others.
