SHOWNOTES

(00:01:42) Rick Jones was a Canadian-born television presenter and folk musician, best known for his work in BBC children’s television programmes “Play School” (1964–1973) and “Fingerbobs” in 1972.

(00:01:42) “Fingerbobs” is a British children’s television programme made by Q3 for the BBC. Only thirteen episodes were ever made and were regularly repeated until December 1984. Presented by mime artist “Yoffy” (played by Canadian actor Rick Jones), each ten-minute episode told a story centred on a paper finger puppet animal and usually involved collecting various items (such as pebbles or feathers) to make up another object at the end. Each finger puppet had their own song.

(00:03:30) “Play School” is a British children’s television series produced by the BBC from 1964 to 1988 and aimed at pre-school children. Each programme followed a broad theme and consisted of songs, stories and activities with presenters in the studio, along with a short film introduced through either the square, round or arched window in the set.

(00:05:15) Cosmo Canyon is a location in role playing video game “Final Fantasy VII“.

(00:23:00) This clip is from an episode of “Eight Out of Ten Cats” and can be seen here.

(00:25:07) There was an uncredited extra in every episode of “The Young Ones” now being referred to as the fifth housemate.

(00:28:46) This sketch is based on this recent episode of the BBC’s “University Challenge” and can be seen here. The relevant footage occurs around the start from 00:03:15.

(01:06:25) “The Arabian Knights” was an animated segment of “The Banana Splits Adventure Hour”.

(01:08:00) Location filming for the Victorian house in this story was at Grim’s Dyke, a house and estate in Harrow Weals in northwest London. The house is best known as the home of the dramatist W.S. Gilbvert of the opera partnership Gilbert and Sullivan.

YOU'D never know it from our finished episodes, but Becca and Kenny are good friends who giggle a lot.

What you hear in the finished episodes isn't always exactly what gets recorded. Sometimes, just sometimes, they laugh at daft things, and you'd never know from the finished episode that anything every happened... Well, probably not...

Today, we present our first outtakes, from our episode about the TARDIS console... and the pair are laughing at silly innuendoes. Such children!

Da die gute Technik uns ein Schnippchen geschlagen hat, wir aber dem 2. Doctor unbedingt unsere 450. Folge widmen wollen, müsst Ihr heute mal wieder mit einer Folge 449 vorliebnehmen. Vermutlich aber ein letztes Mal. Dafür werfen Harald und Raphael einen Blick auf die aktuellen Geschehnisse im Whoniversum sowie den Trailer für Staffel 13. Außerdem gibt es noch Post und der gute Max stellt sich unserem Quiz, um vielleicht mit einer Wochenendkarte für die TimeLash nach Hause zu gehen.

On the ninety-third edition of Reality Bomb, we have a super-sized episode that first of all takes a deep dive into the marketing and promotion of Doctor Who -- talking about what's working and what disasters have befallen the show's promotion in the lead-up to the new season with Alex Kennard, Lori Steuart and Max Curtis. We also have spoons as a musical instrument and malapropisms in abundance as Time and the Rani comes to the Gallery of the Underrated with Marvel Comics' legendary editor Tom Breevort. And Priya Deonarain talks about what she's looking forward to when Flux comes to our screens. Plus Listeners Letters and an award ceremony that you won't want to miss!

In merely a week we’ll have new Doctor Who to discuss as Doctor Who: Flux – Chapter One: The Halloween Apocalypse arrives to please our eyeballs, but in the meantime listen to the Three Who Rule talk about Class, binge vs once a week episode drops, the general incompetence of a certain Canadian sci-fi channel, buffoonish press pack drops and a truly epic length Timelash where they invent the exciting and entirely fictional new television mystery series Mumford & Fay starring Suranne Jones and Judi Dench!

Four-and-a-bit Doctors battle Cybers, a chap in silver spandex and a Time Lord conspiracy in the 20th Anniversary Special

Four-and-a-bit Doctors battle Cybers, a chap in silver spandex and a Time Lord conspiracy in the 20th Anniversary Special

The post C130 The Five Doctors appeared first on Who Back When | A Doctor Who Podcast.

It’s the last episode of the first half of the season, and to celeberate, Nathan, James, Peter and Adam Richard have invited literally everyone they’ve ever met to join them at Demons’ Run for a bloodless victory swiftly followed by a painful death. Oh, and the baby shower has been cancelled. Which is just the sort of thing that happens when A Good Man Goes to War.

Notes and links

If you want to hear more about the challenges of directing a Moffat script, you should head over to Rachel Talalay’s Tumblr, which is a fascinating and very telling read.

Nathan mentions (again) The Writer’s Tale, which is the place to go to find out about how difficult RTD found the workload on Doctor Who during his first stint as showrunner of the programme. Pray for him.

Upsettingly, Lesbian Spank Inferno was the title of the fourth episode of Steven Moffat’s breakout sitcom Coupling, in which we learn that it was also the title of series lead Steven Taylor’s favourite pornographic video.

James and Adam both comment on a Big Finish sequel to Inferno called Primord, in which a recast Liz Shaw (Caroline John’s daughter Daisy Ashford) gets turned into a Primord or something. It’s in the name, people!

And finally, James mentions a post Moffat wrote on rec.arts.doctorwho, which no longer exists, but which you can find quoted in its entirety here.
