Review - Blink

Scott flies solo and gives us his rambling opinion (that's how he describes it!) on the classic Doctor Who episode Blink. While this is a firm fan favourite that introduced the world to the Weeping Angels, Scott isn't so sure about the lack of the Doctor and the scared "DVD man". So is Scott flying in the face of fan wisdom? Listen to find out!

Summary:

Adam J Purcell, Andy Simpkins and Keith Dunn sit down, displaced, in front of 2021 Doctor Who episode ‘Once, Upon Time’, and spout our usual nonsense!

Vinder has a problem with his Serpent, Yaz is just playing a videogame and the Doctor’s put her coat on inside out. But enough of their problems, please sit down with us to enjoy The Once, Upon Time…

Nothing to chat about this week.

Review story this episode: The Hand of Fear

After a couple of months of modern era Who it's awesome to be firing up the nuclear reactor and checking out some Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane action in this creepy four-parter from series 14.

Coming next week: Torchwood: Children of Earth "Day One"

We found the first two series of TW a bit up-and-down so does this (almost) mini-series arc provide a more consistent quality of storytelling?

Thank you all for listening to this week's episode and remember to follow the podcast wherever you listen to your podcasts so you don't miss an episode when they land every Friday. Stay cool and until next week - Allons-y!

Simon (@Si_Hart), Conrad (@HairoftheHound_), Denise (@CupOfTea69) and Mark (@QuarkMcMalus) delve into the K9 Audio Annual, an audiobook collection of stories from the K9 annual 1983 and a couple of the Doctor Who Annuals.

Order the audio annual here.

What's up with Lucy? What's up with the Headhunter? What's up with the Doctor? Oooweee, what's up with that? What's up with that?

This week we listen to and review the finale to the first season of 8th Doctor Audio Adventures, Human Resources.

You can hear more from Matt over on the Strangers In Space Podcast

Andrew Smith began pitching Doctor Who story ideas to the production office when he was 14 years old, and was commissioned to write "Full Circle" for season 18 of the classic series, introducing the character of Adric. 

Andrew went on to enjoy a 30 year career with the police force, and returned to writing Doctor Who for Big Finish in 2010, becoming one of their most prolific writers, penning stories across almost every range over the last 10 years. 

Andrew joins us to talk about his writing, his research techniques and the life experience he infuses into his storytelling.

Love blossoms between a terrible businesswoman and an obvious serial killer in the last Holiday Special of the Whittaker Era

The post B077 Eve of the Daleks — The 2022 New Year’s Day Special appeared first on Who Back When | A Doctor Who Podcast.

January 5, 2022 saw Rob and Dave catch up, in person, in Sydney. Being based in different Australian cities - and the pandemic - it was only the third time they've met in person since first meeting on January 27, 2018.

That first meeting resulted in a lo-fi, hotel room recording which got called, 'Rob and Dave Unplugged' where the guys discussed fandom in Australia, and their roles in it (and out of it), during the 80s, 90s, 00s, and beyond.

For this latest meeting, the lo-fi, hotel room recording vibe is back. Strap in for, 'Rob and Dave Unplugged 2' where, this time around, the guys take 19 questions and a comment, from their social media followers, and answer them all.

The questions take the chat over the place, from hypothetical Doctor Who scenarios, to our favourite Australian bands, to questions about the podcast itself. A veritable cornucopia if you have an hour, or so, to spend with the guys.

Have a comment? hello@theDWshow.net

It's October 1974, and Malcolm Hulke's third novelization of the year. He'll never have another year this prolific, but what a trilogy of books he's left us. Doctor Who and the Sea-Devils is the shortest of the bunch, but don't let the length fool you; there's some terrific material here in terms of character insights and observational humor. Even if there aren't too many actual Sea-Devils.

In the first half of the episode, I break down Hulke's writing style in the book, and catalogue the many changes from screen to book.

In the second half, I'm joined by one of my favorite podcast guests, Frazer Gregory, who shares his memories of this novelization, and does some of the best dramatic readings from the book that you'll find, outside of the Target novelization audiobook range.

This may be the end of Doctor Who and the Sea-Devils, but the Sea Devils will return.

I suppose there are worse things to have on the brain.

It’s Eve of the Daleks, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on January 1, 2022

Show-notes:
2:55: For some reason I will take this opportunity to link you to our Heaven Sent episode, over a year ago!
4:00: Not gonna link this.
8:01: Jar Jar Binks is canon to the Doctor Who universe.
20:02: Here’s the TARDIS wiki page on time loops.
22:00: Trust Your Doctor released its first episode on January 24, 2014. This episode is no longer in the podcast feed, because it’s pretty bad. It’s been since replaced by a re-recorded version that was backdated.
29:36: You are a sad, strange little man.
33:30: The official Doctor Who youtube account, in what may have been a bout of prescience, uploaded the clip of Dan literally running circles around the Dalek for all to enjoy. (It actually wasn’t a bout of prescience since they uploaded the clip on the 3rd, well after there was enough time to gauge whether it would be regarded as one of the best scenes in the episode, which I would assume it was and which I personally think it is, but whatever.)
36:02: Paying tax on illegal money is something about how you’re supposed to be taxed on total income, not just total legal income.
45:50: The character Dan worked with at the food bank was Wilma.
47:38: Troll 2, the greatest masterpiece of 20th-century film, is actually a movie we’ve watched on Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast, our movie trilogy podcast, so check that episode out.
54:31: Here’s some more information on the gunpowder plot (and Guy Fawkes), courtesy of Wikipedia.
58:57: I didn’t even bother to try find this tweet. (Editor’s note: Same. Forget that, lol)
1:00:40: Here’s a link to the official BBC Sea Devil promo images. This article also includes an image from the Third Doctor serial, The Sea Devils, indicating that the sea devil itself does not seem to have been so massively redesigned as we thought.
1:19:14: EthelredBusybody’s review of Eve of the Daleks.
1:20:10: Flux and Beyond, by busclas.
1:26:11: Brigadier Bambera is BACK. LETS GO.
1:26:50: Frazer Hines isonly 77, actually.

January 5, 2022 saw Rob and Dave catch up, in person, in Sydney. Being based in different Australian cities - and the pandemic - it's actually been almost four years since this last happened; January 27, 2018 to be precise.

That last meeting resulted in a lo-fi, hotel room recording which got called, 'Rob and Dave Unplugged' where the guys discussed fandom in Australia, and their roles in it (and out of it), during the 80s, 90s, 00s, and beyond.

Review story this episode: Eve of the Daleks

The Festive Special was an interesting one. No heavy plot arcs, no crazy multiverse shenanigans, just an action-packed romp but how do we feel about it on the back of Flux?

Coming next week: The Hand of Fear

We're back to our regular schedule and so next week it's a dive back to the classic years for Sarah Jane's last appearance with The Fourth Doctor and that pesky possessed hand.

I think many audiobook listeners would agree that the definitive version of The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde would be the abridged reading by Tom Baker. 

Here is an unabridged version to whet your appetite for the forthcoming Big Finish version due for release in August 2022, adapted by Nicholas Briggs. 

It may sound strange being read by an Australian, but it was written by a Scottsman and set in London so why not?
