Latest Podcast Episodes

This week, we’ve hastily convened an emergency meeting in our darkest conference room: Todd’s itching to try out his new glove, Nathan has some serious objections to make, James is here mostly for the exposition and Peter is hunched over the desk doing his best Dalek Caan impersonation. It’s the end of the David Tennant era — The End of Time, Part Two.

Notes and links

For the last time ever, the best source for background information about the development of this script is Russell T Davies’s The Writer’s Tale, particularly Chapters 23 and 24. That’s also where you’ll find the scripts to some of the deleted scenes where John Simm was playing against himself, scenes which were very kindly pointed out to us by friend-of-the-podcast Scriptscribbles.

Our new trope for 2021 is the Florana speech — which is the speech where the Doctor lists a whole bunch of possible magnificent destinations in order to entice someone to travel with him. The locus classicus for this is Pertwee and Sarah at the end of Invasion of the Dinosaurs; Nathan’s personal favourite can be found at the beginning of The Day of the Doctor.

Picks of the week

Todd

Todd has been enjoying Marie-Claire’s World, a YouTube channel where a new series fan is watching her way through the entirety of the Classic Series and recording her reactions. She’s very positive about it.

Honourable mentions also go to SeskaSays and Medusa Cascade, who are doing pretty much the same thing.

James

James’s pick is returning favourite W1A, also chosen by Simon in Episode 172. It’s a sitcom set inside the BBC itself, starring Doctor Who royalty Jessica Hynes and Hugh Bonneville, and narrated by David Tennant.

Peter

Peter wants us to take a look as some of the news coverage of Donald Trump’s childish and mendacious post-election tantrum, so that we can properly appreciate what Joe Biden and the American voting public will deliver us from on 20 January. Not long now.

Nathan

Nathan has been watching The Boys, a violent and hilarious satire of comic-book superheroes and American capitalism, brought to you by those cuddly Marxist hippies at Amazon Prime.

It's been a while, but from the ashes of 2020, a new breed of heroes emerge to discuss the world of the comic book. Well. I say new breed - it's actually Amy, Barry and Ant back again. In this episode, the team dive into the following books:

• Kings's Watch (Writer: Jeff Parker, Artist: Mark Lamming, Colourist: Jordan Boyd, Letters: Simon Bowland) - A nostalgic re-imagining of some classic pulp heroes;
• House Atreides Issues 01-03 (Writers: Brian Herbert & Kevin J Anderson, Artist: Dev Pramanik, Colourist: Alex Guimaraes, Letterer: Ed Dukeshire ) - Comic adaptation of the prequel to the Sci-Fi epic: Dune;
• Giant Days  (Writer: John Allison, Artist: Lissa Treiman Inker: Liz Fleming, Colourist: Whitney Cogar, Letterer:  Jim Campbell) - a light-hearted and fun look back at friendship and University Life.

How many times have you watched an episode of Doctor Who, then gone online and wondered if the rest of the world watched the same episode?

It might be a story you really loved and it feels like everyone else is panning it. Conversely it might be a story you thought was the worst thing you've ever seen in your life yet, when you go online afterwards, people are talking about it like it's the next Genesis of the Daleks.

It's weird, right? Frustrating? Yeah, we hear you. On tonight's episode, we have TONS of listener feedback on the topic, not only because it gives us a wide and varied group of examples but because we wanted you to be involved in our final episode of 2020 as a thank you to all your support this year. We do throw in some of our own thoughts too, of course!

Before then we talk about the past month in Doctor Who news – this time including the imminent arrival of Revolution of the Daleks and some last minute filming that's been added to it – in addition to some short topics.

Hope you enjoy the episode! Contact us anytime, hello@theDWshow.net

Kind of sounds like me, on the podcast.

Have we ever had a five episode serial in Doctor Who? We have, right? I’m pretty sure we did but I genuinely don’t remember any more. A lot of classic who has been completely wiped from my mind because I needed the space in my brain for other things. I can’t remember what those things were anymore. It’s Children of Earth: Day One, written by Russell T. Davies and aired on July 6, 2009.

41:11: Check out our Blake’s 7 podcast, Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast.
45:40: Apparently you’re considered an embryo until you’ve been in development for nine weeks. Then you become a fetus. The more you know.
1:00:55: Apparently Christopher Isherwood “only” wrote nine novels (if the Isherwood Foundation is to be believed).
