On the ninety-fifth edition of Reality Bomb, we're talking about all things Flux: the uber-serialized nature of it, the characters, how the Doctor's new backstory works in it... all the things. It's a deep dive into the special serial that made up Series 13 with Kayti Burt, Evan Teng and KatyBeth Schmid. We also talk with author Paul Hayes about his new book The Long Game: the Inside Story of How the BBC Brought Back Doctor Who and the obstacles the show faced in coming back to TV in the late '90s including a Doctor Who film in development hell, confusion about the rights to the series and indifference within BBC culture to science fiction. And writer and renaissance man Graham Kibble-White emerges from a maze that looks like a 1980s hotel to bring The God Complex to the Gallery of the Underrated. Plus Priya Deonarain offers an editorial on what she thought about Flux when all was said and done. All this plus an experiment to give people Flux in its purest form!

BONUS CONTENT: We have a special animated version of this month's Gallery of Underrated on Vimeo!

Coming this month: Recursion of the Daleks. An extended-length Doctor Who Day Special!

The TARDIS is pulled through time, bringing the Doctor, Travis, and Carrie to the ruins of a colony on a barren world. There, they are greeted by the Previous Doctor, who needs our Doctor’s help to repair the Web of Time. But the Doctor’s oldest enemies lurk in the shadows, and they have the most terrible plan…

Featuring special guest Joseph Scrimshaw (Obsessed, Force Center, writer on Adult Swim’s Tigtone) as the Previous Doctor.

“Recursion of the Daleks” drops November 23rd, 2020 to celebrate Doctor Who Day, the anniversary of the first broadcast of Doctor Who in 1963.

The 4th Doctor and friends find themselves on Earth, but not the Earth they know. This is the far future, and humans haven't been here for a long time. So it's pretty surprising to find that there are some humans, and one Sontaran causing a world of trouble.

SHOWNOTES

(00:07:10) A photo of Doc’s Secret Santa gift can be seen on our Tumblr page here.

(00:10:53) A photo of Hayden’s Secret Santa gift can be seen on our Tumblr page here.

(00:13:55) A photo of Mark’s Secret Santa gift can be seen on our Tumblr page here.

(00:16:47) “War of the Daleks” is a kind of sci-fi Space-Ludo with Dalek. The game involves moving card Dr Who figures around a circular playing area aiming to get to the “control center” whilst avoiding the Daleks. The Daleks themselves are faithful plastic renditions about three quarters of an inch tall, inserted into concentric slots cut into the board. When the pale blue “control centre” hub in the middle of the board is rotated, the card disc underpinning these concentric slots also rotate, causing the Daleks to move around the board and “capture” hapless players. If a player makes it to the central hub, they have a chance to destroy the control centre by lifting it up. Doing so reveals four panels one of which depicts the “King Dalek.” If he’s next to you he exterminates you and you start again!

(00:20:00) A photo of Kroton, Hayden’s emaciated Dapol Cyberman, can be seen on our Tumblr page here.

(00:23:18) Doc took far too much time out of editing our last podcast to fake a 20 year old tweet from his dad, flogging his valued Beano collection. The tweet can be seen on our Tumblr page here.

(00:24:00) Pink Floyd followed up 1995’s “Pulse” album with another live album in the new millennium: “Is There Anybody Out There? The Wall Live 1980-81,” a document of the band’s performances at Earl’s Court, London, two decades earlier. The album was released in Europe on March 27, 2000; in the United States on April 18. Hayden discovered that his dad appears on the album cover art photos as he attended this live show. The relevant photo can be seen on our Tumblr page here.

(00:26:08) Of the seven Dalek “annuals” published, Doc is referring here to the four published between 1976 and 1979. The 1970s annuals were far more narratively integrated than the 1960s efforts. They tell the tale of the Anti-Dalek Force (ADF) and have a regular “cast” that includes Space Major Joel Shaw and Mark Seven, an android agent.

(00:27:05) TARDIS money box.

(00:27:25) Cyberman door guard.

(00:27:50) “Doctor Who and the Pescatons” first original, officially licensed audio drama based upon Doctor Who. Originally released by Argo Records, the story featured Tom Baker and Elisabeth Salden, as the Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith. It was divided into two episodes, complete with opening and closing themes, simulating the televised series. The radio-cassette player which Doc received that Christmas (1976?) and for which the accompaniment was this Pescatons audio cassette can be seen here.

(00:35:30) The BookTrust Christmas appeal raises money to send surprise festive book parcels to children who are vulnerable or in care. This year, it’s even more vital to support children who may not be looking forward to Christmas. And so we plan to give out more parcels than ever before and to reach 16,000 children – that’s 1,750 more than last year. Half will be sent to children in care who may be spending their first Christmas away from their families, and the other half will be given out through community foodbanks to children in families facing challenging circumstances. Donate £10 to send one book parcel to one child. Any additional funds raised by the appeal will support our work with children through the year.

(00:38:06) This recording of Tom Baker encountering a former child in care on Oxford Street comes from his 2010 “In Confidence” interview with Laurie Taylor which can be seen here.

The Diddly Dum Podcast acknowledges the copyright of anyone we’ve pinched anything from.

Richard arrives in the Something Who bunker and unfortunately breaks the fourth wall at the time of year you really struggle to get a builder.

This is our Christmas special, comparing the first Doctor Who Christmas episode of all - 1965's The Feast of Steven, Episode 7 of the epic Daleks' Master Plan - with the Christmas Invasion, the the first Christmas special of the modern era from 2005. With excursions into Terry Nation's comedy, Hancock and variety shows.

Richard's other podcast is called "If It's Hurting, It's not Working" and it's a fun and informative look at work - why we work, how we work, and what makes a great job. And also what makes a great workplace, how to turn things round when we're not enjoying our work and, in the end, how we can all make our work better. Got to https://ifhurtnotwork.podbean.com/ and https://ifhurtnot.work for more. Episode 4 is all about Christmas and you can hear a trailer in the middle of this episode.

The opening music is Three Guitars Mood 2 and, yes, that is Richard playing the ukulele and kazoo on possibly the worst ever version of the Doctor Who theme tune at the end.

Battlefield; Adam, Debbie, Matthew, Robert, Mary, Kirby and our special guest Sophie Aldred (Ace) discuss the legendary Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart's Doctor Who swan song and Sophie's novel, 'At Childhood's End'. We also have news, feedback and the obligatory cameo from Andrew Cartmel.

Martyn is joined by the director and, two actors from the new interactive film 'Five Dates'.

Entirely conceptualised, filmed and developed during lockdown – Vinny, a millennial from London, joins a dating app for the first time while living in lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic. With five potential female matches, Vinny explores whether compatibility, chemistry and connections are still possible in a world where physical touch is no longer an option. He must pluck up the courage to video date with wildly different personalities.

The viewer’s choices will define Vinny’s interactions with each date and their interest in seeing him again. Vinny is faced with digital game dates, awkward scenarios and unexpected truths.

Five Dates is an exploration of the unpredictable modern dating experience. Through his journey, the decisions the viewer makes for him will challenge their own conceptions of attraction and compatibility. Throughout the game, your choices and your interactions will either strengthen or weaken your relationship with your date. The relationship scores are calculated from the start right through to the very end and will affect certain scenarios as well as having consequences in the concluding scenes.

The film stars Taheen Modak (Two Weeks To Live), Demmy Ladipo (The Last Tree, Enterprise), Mandip Gill (Doctor Who, Suspicion, The Flood), Georgia Hirst (Vikings, Ravers), Georgia Small, Marisa Abela (Lena Dunham’s Industry, Cobra) and Sinéad Harnett (UK singer/influencer).

In this festive episode of the Who's He? Podcast....

Review - The Christmas Invasion

It's Christmas and on Scotts first actual review for the Who's He? Podcast, he picked David Tennants first story, The Christmas Invasion. So he sat down with his Dad (Phil) and talked about what he liked and how he rated each character and how it was for the first 10th Doctor story. He also talks about Colin Bakers first story and leaves it to Phil to explain why that turned out like it did!

Scott also gives his view on Doctor Who: Flux and it appears he's not that keen, especially all the planets that got wiped out!

We would like to wish all of our listeners a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
