Warren is finally back from Japan and China so the Three Who Rule were once again united. Doctor Who spinoffs were the order of the day as The Sarah Jane Adventures featured the first signs of The Doctor since Easter and K9 got a preview on British TV but everything is trumped by the announcement of The Waters of Mars’ release date. The drought is soon over and we have but two weeks to wait for the gap year to wind down. Peter Moffatt is looked at in the miniscope, Dreamland will be getting a preview in short order and surprise surprise there’s DVD news and more all in this episode where we actually keep to time!

Steve and Sean start things rolling with the inevitable questions that arise when two fans meet: Who is your favorite Doctor?  How did you become a fan?  What are you drinking?  Ah, the joys of fandom...!

As Sean sips his red wine and Steve gulps his vodka (from a plastic tumbler, no less!) we learn which Doctor we both agree on as one of our favorites, and which Doctor we have some definite split opinions on.  And, of course, no conversation about fandom is complete without the gratuitous meandering on late-night PBS viewings in our younger years (not that we're that old, mind you).  We are sorry to report, however, that translation is unavailable for the slurring in the second half of the show.

Comments, questions, and raging hate mail are all welcome at tardistavern@gmail.com.

Special acknowledgment goes to The Black Spot (from whomix.trilete.net) for The Adventurer mix used within the show.

This time around. Tony and Jo! look at The Keeper Of Traken, listen to some great viewer reviews of The Sarah Jane Adventures and boggle over lots of feedback.

Always wanted to use the word 'boggle', you know..

ahem, feedback, including your reviews of 'Xylok and the Dog!' to

Show@flashingblade.org.uk

More bases come under siege as killer seaweed attacks a gas pipeline ("Fury from the Deep"), and the Cybermen menace a space station ("The Wheel in Space"). Also, the departure of Victoria, the joining of Zoe, and The Master's regeneration cycle are discussed.

Warren is still trundling around Asia so in his absence the remaining Two Who Rule invited along Luke from The Minute Doctor Who Podcast to join in the frivolity. Some good news (Doctor Who confirmed for Christmas and a Children in Need Preview of Tennant's penultimate episode) was discussed as was some bad news (various bits of DVD-related disappointments) whilst opinions were split down the middle on the latest installment of The Sarah Jane Adventures (quite a tough thing to do with an odd number of participants). David Whitaker gets quite the workout in the miniscope, complete with a Vampire/Halloween tie-in, and Steven finally commits to an appearance on Luke's Doctor Who-based Mastermind quiz!

Johanna's costuming tips:
If you're going to buy ONE book to learn how to start sewing, I recommend "Singer Sewing Basics". It's a skinny blue hardback, which you can find in most used-book stores (don't bother buying new, it's ubiquitous) for about $5 or $6. Singer has a whole series of sewing books, of course, focusing on different topics, including "sewing with special fabrics" and that sort of thing.

And, for the construction-oriented person, you can't miss a visit to http://www.thistothat.com/ - a great website for determining which adhesives will NOT melt the panels in your Dalek costume.

Next Time

@ 1 hour 13 minutes 45 seconds - Next time our discussion topic will be Fandom versus Rose Tyler.

If you have any feedback about any of the topics we've discussed, please leave comments on the blog at http://bridgingtherift.wordpress.com/ send audio feedback under three minutes to our GoogelMail address, or direct short comments @BridgingTheRift on Twitter.

Trocking Out

1 hour 14 minutes 20 seconds - We were hoping to trock out with a song about costumes, but we couldn't really think of anything appropriate. The closest we got was possibly the most extravagant 'costume' to ever appear in Doctor Who - The Cyber-King, as 'worn' by Miss Hartigan!
