Latest Podcast Episodes

In a special mini episode, Flint flies solo and looks at prog 1689 whilst also detailing a few of his latest 2000AD trade buys.

Having just gotten over our hangovers from the Fourth of July, we are craving a little bit of holiday cheer, so we set our sights on The Chimes of Midnight, a Big Finish audio story featuring the Eighth Doctor, making it the eighth in our "Eleven Doctors" series.

There's talk of plum pudding, worthless scullery maids, Edward Grove, and merry murder.  Oh, and a dollop of feedback as well from a couple of our usual listeners, including the usual editorial corrections.  (Thanks, Erik!)

Spoliers abound, faithful listeners, so if you have plans to ever listen to "The Chimes of Midnight," then fuck that and just listen to us instead.

Keep your ears peeled for next time when we talk about the Ninth Doctor in "The Long Game" with yet another guest bartender.  We're keeping the guest's identity secret for the time being, but let's just say it's someone of the fairer sex from another podcast.

If you send us feedback, we'll send you some pictures of kitties.  So stop what you're doing right now (unless you're driving, then put down the iPhone and keep your eyes on the road), and email us at tardistavern@gmail.com.  Follow Sean on Twitter at @tardistvern or Steve at @stevetardistvrn (no A or E in tavern).  Plus be a part of our Facebook page, where we regularly serve free pie and punch.

With the news light in the wake of Series 5 ending, the Three Who Rule were glad of a commentary to tide them over. Image of the Fendahl was the focal point thanks to the powers of the randomizer, a story that stands out for one of our hosts while merely exists for the other two. Come join the fun of the west country accents, slash writers going crazy, lost plots, a golden Wanda Ventham and just about the darkest Doctor Who story ever! And what could possibly be in store for the next installment of the summer commentary series?

Colditz! No, really. Bob and Tony look at Colditz and muse on why Nicholas Young keeps going in shows that involve 'breaking out'... (LAUGH!)

Also, plenty of feedback and the winners of the 'sound like the TARDIS' comp are announced!

All that and we put to bed the whole Bob/Adric thing...

Possibly...

Don't forget to visit the little shop....

feedback to show@flashingblade.org.uk

We don't know that EVERY classic incarnation of The Doctor was averse to being physical with his companions, but we've seen that ever since Survival went off the air he's become a LOT more touchy-feely while the cameras are rolling. Herewith, ranked on the bases of consistent characterization, plot advancement, dramatic effect and significance to the Doctor Who story, is part one of our rundown of the Doctor's osculatory adventures.

Yes, we do have more to say about the season!

Now it is all done and dusted the DWP team can sit back and take it all in and discuss our overall reaction to Season 5. Trevor, Tom and James cover a variety of subjects in this episode, and play some of the excellent feedback we have received.

In which the team tackle the slipperiest of subjects - what makes them laugh in their books. Dark secrets are revealed about Mr Gould, Phil is granted an awooga reprieve, Clover takes her turn calling in from the moon whilst Dion cackles like his mother. A lot. Oh, the shame.
To make up for the wait between episodes this is a directors cut, coming in at just under an hour and a half. We hope it's worth it. The next one will be out a lot quicker, we promise. Sound quality is variable, so any bits you can't hear please just assume that they were funny, relevent and/or intelligent.

Music is provided by Steadman and a bunch of little hairy fellas.

With Series Five done and packed away, and with everyone staring down the barrel of a six month wait for new Who, the Three Who Rule decided to embark upon a summer of commentary episodes on classic, randomly selected stories from Doctor Who's past. Commentarygeddon began with Meglos, the (unfairly) maligned Tom Baker cactusfest. Dodecahedrons, vocoders and Jacqueline Hill, not to mention a young (and fake) Annie Lennox await!

There is no better way to celebrate the Fourth of July than by watching Barack Obama rapping while dressed in a red, white, and blue ringmaster's costume.  And so we present you with "The Greatest Show in the Galaxy," our Seventh Doctor installment in our "Eleven Doctors" series (formerly known as our "Ten Doctors" series because bow ties are cool).

Aside from the standard review, we read and respond to feedback - some favorable and some not so favorable - and give a shout out to a couple other podcasts that you may not have heard about.

Once again, we beg you to send us your thoughts at tardistavern@gmail.com, join us on our Facebook page, and follow us on Twitter (Sean is tardistavern and Steve is stevetardistvrn).

So then... The Big Bang, eh? I wonder what we'll make of that, then? On top of an extended summery and 'Ooh, look, did ya see?' stuff, there's feedback, Chinn from the Ministry sends out more forms and theres three mixes of the Doctor Who theme for your enjoyment, by Alistair Lock, Danny Stewart and, er... Tony... Oh dear.

Don't forget the picnic on the 7th of July - pop to the website for details.

All feedback please to show@flashingblade.org.uk
