Latest Podcast Episodes

It's been quite the week at Oncoming Storm HQ. There have been funerals, chipped teeth, technical glitches, any number of problems. Oh, and that pesky time scoop. But we don't little things like the Game of Rassilon stop us here at the Oncoming Storm. This week's story on the other hand... Nevertheless, Josh, Jeff, Rachel, and Ashley are here to take through the week's news and talk about The Next Life, by Alan Barnes and Gary Russell. We've come to the end of the Divergent Universe. Will it all be worth it here at the end? What do you think? The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got Rassilon! Yeah, don't get to excited. He gets shown up by a Frenchman, a talking lizard person, and a dead woman.

The lads get their teeth into Neil Gaimans highly anticipated story, Nightmare In Silver, that promised to make the Cybermen scary again.  Well, that is certainly a bold claim and not one that goes unchallenged!  Oh no, Phil and Paul have differing views on this weeks episode which leads to Phil having an internal struggle before the leprechaun on his shoulder tells him to burn stuff, while Paul does his best to change Phil's mind only to fail miserably.  Phil also takes a moment this week to think of Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine.  A very long moment in fact.  There is also a lot of talk about fanwank that could lead to blindness and they also briefly talk about She Said, He Said, the epilogue (yes, epilogue!) to The Name of The Doctor.

And in this weeks news, in the absence of any overnight viewing figures for Nightmare In Silver they make some up instead, news on showings for the blu-ray editions of the Peter Cushing Dalek films and in 50th Anniversary news, a photo of Matt Smith that has set tongues wagging and John Hurt lets the cat out of the bag which Phil and Paul talk about.  Sort of.

Neil Gaiman's second episode of Doctor Who isn't quite as strong as his first, but it's still darn good. Could it be that this time the writer was working in a traditional Doctor Who playground rather than "The Doctor's Wife"'s bubble universe?

A great show this week with some interesting news headlines then we're onto our review of Amy's Choice. Actually, is that birds I can hear? Singing... yes... birds... ZzZzZzZ

The News

Mr Moffat himself has gone on record to say that Who will be with us on our screens for at least another five years into 2020. That's awesome news seeing as there's been rumours of late about a possible hiatus.

BBC America is partnering with BitTorrent to legally, yes legally, offer a new boxset containing 10 items from modern Who. For $12 which works out to be roughly PS8 you're getting a few great episode such as The Empty Child, The Doctor Dances, Blink and The Day of the Doctor plus more. It's a great price to have them handy in digital format plus you also get a few Peter Capaldi intro's too.

More news from Moffat now with his views on a Doctor Who movie. Although not completely closed to the idea he feels it wouldn't work as we have such a successful TV show currently running. He likens it to James Bond, you wouldn't have a 007 movie on with a Bond TV show running. We agree with his thoughts and while a movie will probably happen one day, it's not the right time now.

"Amy's Choice" Review

Yes we're hand flapping our way back to the Matt Smith era with this creepy story or dream states and choices. Does Amy's Choice fill us with confidence to give an appropriate score or, like Rory's ponytail, does it leave us feeling sleepy?

Thank you for flying the Tardis with us. Remember to submit your Q&A question to either garry[at]bigblueboxpodcast.co.uk or adam[at]bigblueboxpodcast.co.uk. If you send us a YouTube clip or audio file we'll play it on the show but if you don't have a mic or camera, simply Like us on Facebook and check the post out there to submit a written question. Until next time - Allons-y!
