Latest Podcast Episodes

After the stressful events of last week, we've decided to treat ourselves to a luxury cruise. Brendan's working out in a pink tracksuit, Todd's playing Galaxian and terrorising the waitress, and Nathan's hanging around the communications room with an axe. And, in order to protect a secret hidden on the space liner, one of us will become a murderer. And there are Vervoids, of course.

Terror of the Vervoids was (again) released as part of the Trial of a Time Lord box set in 2008/2009. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Notes and links

Originally considered for this slot in the Trial was a story called Paradise 5, by P J Hammond. It has since been adapted for audio by Big Finish as part of its Lost Stories range.

Michael Craig, who is this story's Beryl Reid, later went on to star as Dr William Sharp in the ABC drama series GP, set in a medical practice in inner-city Sydney.

This story has no Script Editor credit at all, because Eric Saward has ragequit the show. So let's link to his pungent Starburst interview one more time.

Here's are some future Colin Baker stories that the Doctor probably should have chosen to present as evidence instead: The Marian Conspiracy, Arrangements for War and The One Doctor. (More of which later.)

Bonnie Langford brings a dark past to her time on the show. She played Violet Elizabeth Bott in the Just William television series in 1976 and 1977. You can see some of her very early work here. (Don't skip this one. You really need to click on that link.)

You can find a detailed account of Noel Coward's cruel remarks about Bonnie Langford here, including another quip that we didn't mention.

Sciencey murderer Doland is played by Malcolm Tierney, who played horrific northern Tory Patrick Woolton in the original British House of Cards (1990).

The Brink of Death

The Colin Baker Era is about to meet an untimely end, but Colin's Sixth Doctor lives on very successfully in the Big Finish audios. So to round out our appreciation of the era, we're planning a Very Special Episode in which we discuss some of Colin's audio highlights.

If you want to prepare for this episode, here are the stories you should listen to.

• Jubilee, by Rob Shearman.
• The One Doctor, by Gareth Roberts and Clayton Hickman.
• Doctor Who and the Pirates, by Jacqueline Rayner.
• The Brink of Death, by Nicholas Briggs, the final story in The Last Adventure box set.

Summary:

Adam J Purcell, Andy Simpkins and Keith Dunn sit down, puddled, in front of the 2017 Doctor Who S10 premiere episode, ‘The Pilot’, and spout our usual nonsense!

This Doctor is a lecturing security guard, Bill is fattening up the locals and Heather has a very moist fixation. But enough of their problems, please sit down with us to enjoy The Pilot...

Sciencey murderer Doland is played by Malcolm Tierney, who played horrific northern Tory Patrick Woolton in the original British House of Cards (1990).

The Brink of Death

The Colin Baker Era is about to meet an untimely end, but Colin's Sixth Doctor lives on very successfully in the Big Finish audios. So to round out our appreciation of the era, we're planning a Very Special Episode in which we discuss some of Colin's audio highlights.

If you want to prepare for this episode, here are the stories you should listen to.

• Jubilee, by Rob Shearman.
• The One Doctor, by Gareth Roberts and Clayton Hickman.
• Doctor Who and the Pirates, by Jacqueline Rayner.
• The Brink of Death, by Nicholas Briggs, the final story in The Last Adventure box set.

He just likes to irritate people

There's still time for you to vote for a Tom Baker story for the four of us to talk all over for our next commentary episode. Just pop over to last week's shownotes and cast your vote.

Bondfinger

Over on Bondfinger, we've already dusted off the Nintendo 64 in preparation for the Pierce Brosnan era. In the meantime, you can still catch up on our commentaries on both films of the Timothy Dalton era.

Of course, we also have plenty of Rodgecasts online, and there are other Bonds available, as well. You can keep up with all the Bondfinger news on Twitter and Facebook.

After a few weeks away, we're back with a look at the classic Doctor Who story Pyramids of Mars! Join us as we talk mummies, missiles, mythology and why you should just put the damn coordinates in the rocket yourself. Plus: our special guest Luke Slater explains the mythology of Sutekh!

Luke Slater is an old university friend of James's who steps in to cover the Egypt-shaped hole in James's historical and mythological knowledge. You can read his writing about television and film and stuff at My Life as a Doge, or dive into the world of B-movies at Bad Movie Marathon (although be warned, sometimes he also talks about good movies).

Speaking of the Egypt-shaped hole in someone's knowledge, you can read James's reports of his trip to the Rosicrucian Museum (mentioned in this episode) here, and check out some summaries of the Monstrous Antiquities conference here! Enjoy!

Finally, you may notice that James's audio sounds a little better now. Not good, you understand, but better. That's thanks to the help of good friend Jason Walter, who has brought our mic technology up from the stone age a bit.

If you enjoyed the episode, why not check out our blog for more articles, like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter?

After the stressful events of last week, we've decided to treat ourselves to a luxury cruise. Brendan's working out in a pink tracksuit, Todd's playing Galaxian and terrorising the waitress, and Nathan's hanging around the communications room with an axe. And, in order to protect a secret hidden on the space liner, one of us will become a murderer. And there are Vervoids, of course.

Buy the story!

Terror of the Vervoids was (again) released as part of the Trial of a Time Lord box set in 2008/2009. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Notes and links

Originally considered for this slot in the Trial was a story called Paradise 5, by P J Hammond. It has since been adapted for audio by Big Finish as part of its Lost Stories range.

Michael Craig, who is this story's Beryl Reid, later went on to star as Dr William Sharp in the ABC drama series GP, set in a medical practice in inner-city Sydney.

This story has no Script Editor credit at all, because Eric Saward has ragequit the show. So let's link to his pungent Starburst interview one more time.

Here's are some future Colin Baker stories that the Doctor probably should have chosen to present as evidence instead: The Marian Conspiracy, Arrangements for War and The One Doctor. (More of which later.)

Steven and Erika celebrate Canada Day in style—by watching Erika’s (almost) first proper recon! It’s “The Roof of the World”, the first episode of Doctor Who’s fourth serial, “Marco Polo”, from 1964. They also explain a bit about why Doctor Who has missing episodes and what a “reconstruction” is. Learning is fun!

Host Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky

Series ten, episode five. The episode called oxygen, to which we can only say "O!"

Join @Feexby23 and @Loll73 as we blah on endlessly about how bloody good Doctor Who is at the moment.

We’ve reached the end of the Graham Williams Era, and before we go off to have a relaxing one-month break in a nearby parallel universe, we have just enough time to discuss Shada, the sadly uncompleted keystone of the last three years of Doctor Who. Tea, anyone?

Buy the story!

Odd and unsatisfactory versions of this story were released on DVD in 2013. In the US, as usual, it was released on its own (Amazon US), whereas in the UK it was one of two discs in the Legacy Collection box set, along with the 1993 documentary More than Thirty Years in the TARDIS. (Amazon UK)

However, it doesn’t end there. In 2012, a novelisation of Shada was released, written by Doctor Who writer and Season 17 fan Gareth Roberts. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK) (Amazon AU). There’s also an audiobook, read by Lalla Ward. (Audible US) (Audible UK) (Audible AU)

Notes and links

Gödel Escher Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas Hofstadter was published in 1979, and was wildly loved by just the sort of people who might stumble upon an ancient book of Gallifreyan lore in the study of some old Cambridge professor. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

The Star Wars Holiday Special first screened around Christmas 1978, and is perhaps the most horrific thing ever to screen on television. Despite George Lucas’s relentless attempts to suppress it, it can be viewed in its entirety on YouTube. But, really, just don’t.

The Somebody Else’s Problem field is “a cheap, easy, and staggeringly useful way of safely protecting something from unwanted eyes”, by exploiting our natural tendency to ignore things that we just don’t want to think about.

And here’s a video of the destruction of a washing machine by putting a brick in it. Turn down your sound before watching this.

Fans of ruthlessly mocking pompous homophobic lackwits will enjoy these Amazon reviews of Cory Bernardi’s absurdly jejune magnum opus The Conservative Revolution.

Picks of the Week

Nathan

Nathan just picked a whole heap of stuff that we’ve mentioned in the last few episodes of the podcast. There are links to Gareth Roberts’s novelisation of Shada above; James Goss’s novelisation of City of Death was released by BBC Books in 2015. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Paul Cornell’s collection of fanzine articles, Licence Denied, is out of print.

Richard

The Mortdecai Trilogy by Kyril Bonfiglioli is a series of comic novels recounting the adventures of a dissolute art dealer.

Brendan

Douglas Adams’s novel Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency shamelessly recycles many of the ideas in both City of Death and Shada. It’s great. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)
