Latest Podcast Episodes

Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith was released in 2005 and tonight, The Doctor Who Show team examines it in what must rate as one of the coldest of cold takes ever committed to a digital recording.

What are our memories of the movie on release? What are our thoughts on it now, after a 2024 re-watch?

If you’ve got an hour to spare, sit back, relax, and join us in an ALTERNATE GALAXIES episode that travels to a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away to try and review the film, once and for all, with no contemporary distractions.

By the way, we reviewed Star Wars Episode II – Attack of the Clones in March and Star Wars Episode I – The Phantom Menace in February, if you haven't heard our takes on the two earlier installments in the prequel trilogy.

Dark Water/Death in Heaven; Adam, Debbie, Kirby and Mary take a trip to the afterlife that nobody would want. We also have feedback, news and what we watched (in the last 6 weeks)

On the brand new Trap One Podcast Pete (@Prof_Quiteamess), Conrad (@HairoftheHound_), Jeff (@JeffComesToTime) and Tom (@aquatics64) discuss the new audio version of The Edge of Destruction, released on vinyl for Record Store Day 2024 and out on CD soon.

You can pre-order the story on CD here with new linking narration from Carole Ann Ford.

This week my new series re-watch reaches Doctor Who: Sleep No More, a highly unusual story as it's a found footage one.

Introducing The First Doctor

In an occasional series, Phil and Scott are discussing the episodes of Doctor Who that introduced us to a new Doctor. And to kick things off, they start right at the very beginning with William Hartnell in An Unearthly Child.

With a lot to set up and with the very first episode being filmed twice, Phil and Scott look at the pilot and the transmitted episodes and how effective were either of them in introducing the Doctor to the world.

Also, in the news, Varada Sethu is officially announced as the 15th Doctor's companion for season 2 and that she will be travelling alongside Millie Gibson!

Welcome to the first of two planned episodes about the 1966 Doctor Who serial The Celestial Toymaker. The episode eventually spawned a TV sequel ... in 2023, The Giggle. The novelizations of both stories were released in 1986 and 2024 respectively.

Joining me this week is James Goss, author of the Giggle novelization, and we spend about 90 joyous minutes talking about both books.

In today’s episode we dive into the realm of Doctor Who non-fiction books.

So much has been written about the show over the years - some of it academic, some of it autobiography/biography, some of it in the form of episode guides, some of it in the form of fans writing about their fandom, and much, much more. Which would YOU pick for your top Doctor Who non-fiction books? There's a lot to choose from, so why not let us know?

Contact us any time: hello@theDWshow.net

A big week for beginnings this week, with a new Doctor, a new origin story for the Daleks, and a whole new approach to defeating the bad guys. Oh, and a new podcast to discuss them all on. So let’s welcome Patrick Troughton to the studio floor, as we discuss The Power of the Daleks.

Notes and links

The most recent Blu-ray release of The Power of the Daleks was the Special Edition in 2020, which includes a compilation of all the surviving footage, including material shot on an 8mm film camera pointing at a TV screen. This material was also included on the Lost in Time DVD release way back in 2004.

Simon also mentions a site which chronicles the upsetting history of Doctor Who’s missing episodes. It’s called The Destruction of Time, and it’s well worth reading, if a bit dispiriting at times.

The Omnirumour was a series of rumours arising during 2013 that as many as 90 missing Doctor Who episodes had been found and were ready for return to the BBC Archives, possibly as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations. This didn’t happen, obviously, but we did at least get nine episodes: five episodes of The Enemy of the World and four of The Web of Fear.

Let’s continue the tradition: here is Elizabeth Sandifer’s essay on this story, which (inevitably) discusses the importance of mercury to the new Doctor’s character.

Nathan and Brendan refer to Kieran Hodgson’s Bad Doctor Who Impressions version of The Daleks, which is something you should go and watch immediately.

James very thoughtfully plugs Brendan and Richard’s new podcast about The Avengers, called The Three-Handed Game, in which they are joined by old friend of the podcast Steven B to discuss episodes from different eras in the history of the show.

At the end of the episode, Simon recounts the story of the gradual revelation of The Power of the Daleks throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s. Among the things he mentions are Peter Haining’s Doctor Who: A Celebration (1983), the Radio Times Doctor Who 20th Anniversary Special (also 1983), The Making of Doctor Who by Malcolm Hulke and Terrance Dicks (2nd edition, 1976), an edition of DreamWatch Bulletin (possibly issue 121 in December 1993) announcing the upcoming publication of the telesnaps in Doctor Who Magazine, and the discovery by Damian Shanahan of some clips from this story in an Australian TV Show called Perspective: C for Computer.

Flight Through Entirety discussed The Power of the Daleks in Episode 11: Bum Wetting.

And more

You can find links to all of the podcasts we’re involved in on our podcasts page. But here’s a summary of where we’re up to right now.

Flight Through Entirety will be back at Christmas in July to discuss The Return of Doctor Mysterio, and we’ll be covering Peter Capaldi’s final year on the show after that, concluding with Twice Upon a Time at Christmas.

The Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire will be back a couple of days after the screening of the first two episodes of Season 1 of the Ncuti Gatwa Era on 11 May. In the meantime, you can hear our hot takes on the four episodes we’ve seen of Doctor Who’s second RTD era.

There’s also Startling Barbara Bain, our Space: 1999 commentary podcast. We’ve covered the first four episodes of Series 1; Episode 5 should be out in the next couple of weeks.

Maximum Power will be back later in the year to talk about the final series of Blakes 7.

And finally there’s our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. This week, we said farewell to Star Trek: Enterprise by watching that universally acknowledged Star Trek war crime, These Are the Voyages….

This week my new series re-watch reaches Doctor Who: The Zygon Invasion/The Zygon Inversion

Over the years, whenever Dave has seen a notable Doctor Who alum at an event, we've endeavoured to switch on the microphones and grab his thoughts in a special, standalone episode of the show.

A year ago this was Sophie Aldred in the original 'Dave's Big Day Out' episode, but prior to that, episodes like, 'When Dave Met Chris' have also entertained listeners who couldn't attend the events.

Today, we talk to Dave immediately upon his return home from Supanova where he saw, and interacted with, Jodie Whittaker. And also caught the panel for Jango/Boba Fett himself, Temuera Morrison.

Enjoy our chat, and contact us anytime at hello@theDWshow.net

Join Dave from the Doctor Who Show, Mark from 42 to Doomsday, and Richard from Spacefall: A Blakes 7 Podcast, after knocking back a few ciders at Dave's place and watching the updated version of Horror of Fang Rock on the new Doctor Who Season 15 Blu-ray set.

Who's He? at The Movies | Night of The Demon

This time Phil takes a look at one of his favourite British horror movies, Night of the Demon starring Dana Andrews.

In a tale of witchcraft, hairy demons and disbelieving square jawed scientists, this M.R. James classic ghost story is bought to the silver screen in a film that Phil has been fascinated with since he was a child.

1986 saw the release of the first two Companions of Doctor Who novels, original full-length books rather than novelizations of Doctor Who TV serials. There would only be one more after this one. Harry Sullivan's War was written by Ian Marter, who died tragically young, on his own 42nd birthday, just a couple of weeks after the book's release.

Jim Sangster rejoins me as the guest for this week's book -- and also wrote this week's theme song!

A video for Jim's son is found here. Song written by Jim Sangster and sung by Antony Owen.

The first 8 minutes are an audio essay about the 1986 baseball season. If you're not a baseball fan, you will be after hearing this essay (or not).

Recent guest Dale Smith recently penned an essay about Turlough and the Earthlink Dilemma, the first Companions of Doctor Who novel, covered on this show (by Dale Smith!) just last month.

It's that time again!  Usually once a year we like to talk movies and to keep it Doctor Who related we pair those movies with Doctor Who episodes.  It's a fan favorite and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do making it.  Thanks for listening!  See you again later in April!

Here's Something Who podcast Episode 93. And a return to our 3 regulars.

We look at 5th Doctor tale The King's Demons from Season 20, and after that chew over 12th Doctor story The Girl Who Died from Series 9. This episode consists of the first half of that conversation, featuring The King's Demons.
