How do you raise the lost continent of Atlantis? Well if your Professor Zaroff you do it by destroying the Earth... Yeah, not even the Second Doctor is buying this derailed train of thought, but it's up to him, Jamie, Ben and Polly to stop it before the madman's plan to frak the world comes to fruition.

Hello Who fans, jump aboard, we’ve got a great show this week. Some great news and updates then onto our review of The Rings of Akhaten.

The News

Those clever peeps at Real SFX and Milk VFX have scooped the BAFTA Cymru Award for Special and Visuals, Titles and Graphics from series 9 opener The Magician’s Apprentice. Crack open that champagne!

Way back in Episode 75 we told you of a Kickstarter campaign to get the old style Doctor Who Pinball machine reborn into a new digital version, well it’s now shipped to most platforms. It’s available on iOS, Google Play, Steam, Mac App Store, Amazon and Ouya (with the console versions coming soon). It’s a wonderful game and a slice of DW history, check it out.

An update to the upcoming Polarity Day happening on 23rd October – it will now occupy a larger auditorium at the Wimbledon Theatre which means more tickets so you can now apply to up to four instead of two. This also means more people on the guest list including John Levene (Sargent Benton), Bernard Holly (Axon leader) and the DWAS President Colin Baker! It’s now shaping up to be a great day.

If you’ve been a fan of the War Doctor stories from Big Finish then you’ll be pleased to know that Volume 3: Agents of Chaos was released yesterday. Grab it and carry on the brilliant story.

“The Rings of Akhaten” Review

There are some stories in each series of Who (both old and new) that really don’t gel with a lot of people, this week’s story being one of them. What do your hosts think however; as charming and entertaining as a good song or like a cat being strangled? Either way, we’ve got some interesting thoughts.

Thank you , you lovely lot for listening and for all your thoughts and audio clips. Next week its classic Who and we’re watching the 5th Doctor story The Awakening so remember to give us your reviews. Until than have a great week and as always – Allons-y!!

What event brought the X-Men and the Inhumans to the brink of war? What happened to Cyclops and Emma Frost? Who lives? Who dies? Will the Death of X mini-series answer those questions, or will it lead to more? Are you Team Inhumans or Team Mutants? Hosted by Kyle Jones and Clarence Brown.

Episode 21 – Review of Marvel Comics’ Death of X Number 1

Are you here with the bride or the groom? Quickly, take your seat. Here's some rice to throw after the ceremony, and would you like to get in on the betting pool of how far into the ceremony we went before one of them storms off? Quietly now, now go sit down... Ahem. Welcome one and all to the wedding of the century! Yes, we are here to celebrate the pending nuptials of Mr. Jason Kane and Miss Bernice Surprise Summerfield. Everyone's here. Look, there's Josh, Ashley, Rachel, and Jeff of the Oncoming Storm podcast. I'll bet they're working on episode 184 of their show while they want. The subject just has to be the grand  50th New Adventure, Happy Endings by Paul Cornell. They're probably gossiping about how all of the Doctor's new adventures get call backs, or the sensational scandals that arose in the days before the wedding. I did hear that Josh finally checked his twitter after two months, and has commented on all of those tweets this week! What a cad. But just wait until you hear about that Ace! The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got a post credits sequence!

Derek risks the wrath of the mysterious Spring Heel’d Jack to talk to the series creators: Rob and Jack. After 3 Series we finally know the Secret of Spring Heel’d Jack. And also why are Doctor Who Companions like Buses?

This week we cover story #110, The Leisure Hive! The Doctor and Romana visit Tigella to mediate a dispute between the Savants and the Deons, but they're waylaid by the Zolfa-Thuran Meglos and his hired mercenary Gaztaks. What are they really after, and can the Doctor avoid being executed for the crimes they've pinned on him?

QotW with special guest co-host Connor: If you could pick any former Doctor Who companion actor to come back in a different role, who would you choose and for what role?

Join us next week for our review of Doctor Who story #111, Full Circle! This serial is hard to get individually, but as of recording is still widely available as part of the E-Space boxed set. You can rent the DVDs from this set individually from Netflix, or buy the whole boxed set from Amazon.com, The WB Shop, BarnesAndNoble.com, the BBC Doctor Who Shop, or many other fine retailers.

As the title might imply, there's once again dissension among the ranks.
