Latest Podcast Episodes

Em mais essa peça no grande quebra-cabeças que é Time Lord Victorious, hoje revisamos as páginas do Doctor Who Annual 2021! Temos uma sessão especial por Melody Malone, a River Song, onde ela conta um pouco mais sobre os Kotturuh - Aqueles Que Trazem a Morte, assim como as outras raças presentes nos Tempos Sombrios! Há também uma sessão com o Império dos Daleks, incluindo nosso já favorito, o Estrategista, além da explicação de quem é Brian The Ood. Vem com a gente desenrolar os Pergaminhos Negros de Rassilon!

We promised our March episode would be a light and frothy romp, as we placed TARDIS teams into movies. This one's a riff on our Crossovers episode from back in 2021, putting TARDIS teams into TV shows. This time around, however, it's the silver screen that beckons. Where will our darlings end up? Tune in.

Of course this is after 25 minutes, or so, of news and short topics to kick proceedings off. You know the drill by now, Dear Listener. Fill your boots.

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

Hinchcliffe-Holmes time again faithful listeners. Frankenstein meets PBS Pledge Drive.  This a comfort story for Ross. He and Vic had a laugh talking about this one.

Ah, my favourite sensation.

So in the future, when we’re all wearing masks in order to stay alive, do you think we’ll look back on this movie as a warning? Probably not in al honestly, I think most people probably don’t even remember that it exists. I didn’t. And I wish to never again. See you all soon! It’s The Airzone Solution and released at some point in 1993.

Show-notes:
0:56: Here, for your very own viewing and enjoyment, the Warped Factor review that I read from.
5:44: Did you know that the ineffable Dough Liman directed Chaos Walking to the point of it being unreleasable?
11:58: Yep this takes place in 2091. Amazing.
14:47: Might as well just link to the wikipedia page for Bill and Ben Video.
25:27: Go and watch Soylent Green instead of The Airzone Solution, it’s way more interesting.
25:56: Watching The Airzone Solution feels like being held at gunpoint buy you’re bored.
31:51: How to stage faint, for all you budding actors out there.
51:30: “In chemistry, a solution is a special type of homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances.” – Wikipedia User, 2???. The two components of a solution are a solute and solvent.
51:59: I went on AO3 and looked for “Airzone Solution”  and actually found one f*cking fan fiction about The Airzone Solution. And it was published in 2020! Creepily enough, Arnie gets slapped by Ellie in this… with a wet sock. *Twilight Zone theme plays*
1:13:06: Which Peter? Blue Peter.
1:18:44: Really, actually starting in 15 minutes from when you heard us say this.
1:20:50: Check out Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast, our classic sci-fi podcast. It’ll be running (at some point) while Trust Your Doctor’s on hiatus.
1:21:04: The 2038 problem needs some levity added to it. Please, people. Start joking about this just to take the edge off how much it’ll suck when we get there.
1:25:52: I’m not saying you can watch The Airzone Solution for yourself on Tubi, but I’m not not saying that either.
1:27:20: Blow up canon or whatever, thank god we don’t have to paste this article anymore. Pretty sure I have it memorized now.
1:31:23: This is a reference to Battlefield.

SHOWNOTES

(00:01:35) Our guest on this episode is Mark from the notorious 42 to Doomsday podcast.

(00:01:59) The “friends, romans, countrymen” line here is of course a tribute to the death speech of Julius Caesar as performed in the film “Carry on Cleo” by Kenneth Williams.

(00:02:21) Issi Noho was the eponymous main character in a series of books and children’s TV programmes programmes created, written and narrated by author Keith Chatfield. 52 episodes of the television programme were produced for Thames Television between 1974 and 1978. Issi Noho is a panda with magic powers. His magic results from completing the vacant square in a series of magic number squares that he inherited from his Chinese ancestors. In a magic square the numbers must come to the same total in whichever direction they are added up, horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Issi’s poor arithmetic causes frequent mathematical errors, with unexpected and humorous consequences. Issi’s name comes from the middle letters of THIS SIDE UP, USE NO HOOKS. These were the words on the packing case in which he was discovered by the children, Sally and Andrew. Issi had camouflaged his packing case with branches and leaves and the children could only see the middle letters ISSI NOHO, which they took to be his name.

(00:10:10) In 1991, the BBC and Grundy released a video game for Commodore based on the TV soap opera “Neighbours”.

(00:12:50) As an idea for a possible working title for the Diddly Dum Podcast, “Clockwork Rocket Ship” was inspired by a line from the song “Womble of the Universe”. This was a single by British novelty pop group the Wombles and appears on their 1974 album “Keep on Wombling”, a partial concept album with the first side following singer Orinoco through a series of dreams. The styles included pop, rock and classical and the The album spent six weeks in the UK album charts, peaking at number 17. #The Wombles featured musicians dressed as the characters from the children’s TV show “The Wombles” (voiced of course by Doctor Who legend Bernard Cribbins). Songwriter and record producer Mike Batt wrote and also performed many commercially successful singles and albums as the Wombles with other collaborators. In 2011, the band played at The Glastonbury Festival.

(00:14:36) This musical snatch is of course from “Mickey”, the 1981 song recorded by American singer and choreographer Toni Basil on her debut album “Word of Mouth”. Written by Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn as “Kitty”, it was first recorded by UK music group Racey. Toni Basil changed the name from Kitty to Mickey to make the song about a man. Reissued in January 1982, “Mickey” quickly became a substantial UK hit, reaching number 2. It was issued in Australia by April, where over the summer it rose to number 1.

(00:25:55) “Kklak: The Doctor Who Art of Chris Achilléos” collects the entirety of Achilléos’ Doctor Who artwork in chronological order, along with commentary from Achilléos himself (as well as some fans) – presenting the definitive guide to his seminal work. The book also includes a small contribution from twelfth Doctor Peter Capaldi and a foreword from Achilléos’ long-time friend and collaborator, the late Terrance Dicks. Featuring every one of Achilléos’ Doctor Who designs, as well as never before seen material giving insight into his creative process, Kklak: the Doctor Who Art of Chris Achilléos is released 2020 by Candy Jar Books.

(00:41:42) Hard work by the Diddly Dum Restoration Team on cleaning up the soundtrack of “Frontios” has revealed the original purpose of the TARDIS roundels and the relevant video clip can be found here.

(00:47:45) The Mighty Bhoosh character Charlie appears in Series One, Episode Six “Charlie”. The protagonist of Vince Noir’s books, Charlie is made of used bubblegum, has a mustache, and wears a bowler hat. At one point in time, Charlie had Inuits living inside of him. They later died, for which Charlie feels great guilt. He is real, despite Howard Moon’s scornful disbelief when told Charlie’s life story, and arrives at the zoo to take revenge on Dixon Bainbridge and Hamilton Cork for their attempt to steal his life’s story.

(01:09:15) “Doctor Who: Cybermen” is a combination fiction/non-fiction book that explores the history of the Cybermen in Doctor Who (using a style that mixes non-fiction documentary with in-universe history). The book’s author, David Banks, portrayed the Cyber-leader in several television episodes, as well as the Doctor during one performance of “The UItimate Adventure”.

(01:14:00) The “Dalek book” which Mark is referring to at this point is “The Official Doctor Who and the Daleks Book“, a reference book/guide about the Daleks written by John Peel and Terru Nation. A guide to each Dalek episode up through “Revelation of the Daleks” comprised most of the book, effectively telling the story of the Daleks in the real world. Also featured was “The History of the Daleks”, a retelling of Dalek history from an in-universe perspective. Other features include information on other Dalek media and merchandise, and story outlines for early or unproduced stories.

(01:01:16) “The ArcHive Tapes“, later released as “The ArcHive Tapes: Cybermen – The Hypothesised History Of The Cyber Race“, were an audio adaptation of the in-universe biographical elements of the David Banks book “Doctor Who; Cybermen”. The tapes recount Banks’ interpretation of the history of the Cybermen. The series comprises a set of four audiocassettes. The series was narrated and produced by David Banks.

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

Steven and Erika finally get back to “The Curse of Peladon”, but no worries — they remember everything that’s happening because it’s so exciting and fun!

This week, we celebrate the triumphant return of the entire universe with a quick snog in the bushes after Amy’s wedding, followed by a discussion of the final episode of Series 5, The Big Bang.

Notes and links

Here’s the tweet that started it all, a question from Nick H asking us what the hell this two-part story is all about.

According to The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, the Total Perspective Vortex annihilates your brain by showing you exactly how insignificant you are on a universal scale. It derives its image of the universe from the extrapolated matter analysis of one small piece of fairy cake.

Erik and Adam discuss Paul Cornell’s Timewyrm: Revelation not in an episode of Doctor Who: The Writers’ Room (sorry, Kyle), but in an episode of The Real McCoy podcast. In this episode, they mention several things that Cornell does in the novel which later turn up as features of the Moffat Era.

Here’s a fan production of Neil Penswick’s The Pit by the delightfully named Security Kitchen Productions.

In 2011, The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang won the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form, beating Vincent and the Doctor, A Christmas Carol and Rachel Bloom’s music video F*ck me Ray Bradbury.

And here’s the Twitter account of Liam McNicholas, who has been creating beautiful artwork to accompany our flight through the successive episodes of Series 5. By the time you read this, you’ll be able to see the complete set.

Picks of the week

We’ve all got some lovely TV shows for you to watch this week.

Todd

Todd wants you to experience the lavish off-screen wedding enjoyed by Leela and Andred some time after the end of Part 6 of The Invasion of Time. Or you could listen to us discussing it in Episode 55: Timothy Dalton’s Pyjamas, the FTE episode that mentioned word peril for the first time.

Brendan

Brendan is watching Butterflies (1978), starring Wendy Craig and our very own Geoffrey Palmer, in which the lovely middle-class Ria distracts herself from her low-level dissatisfactions with her family life by regularly meeting and chatting with another man. It’s very gentle, but also rather sweet and sad.

Richard

Richard is watching The Right Stuff (2020), which is a Disney+ series about the early days of the space race. (He also seems to have his eye on Nathan’s Season 8 box set.)

Nathan

Nathan recommends Love, Victor (2020), also on Disney+ in Australia, at least, in which a high school student in Atlanta struggles with the possibility that he might be gay. It’s sweet and funny and sad, with a lovely cast and a lot of heart. Series 2 is being released next week.

Join James, Phil, Michele, Ian and Brent and for the latest day trip in the Campervan! There’s a Ninth Doctor theme this month with the return of Nine Lives

Before that, James and Phil meander through the recent 60th Anniversary rumours and make yet more baseless predictions that have not a single hope of coming true. Ian and Michele then return to discuss the penultimate story in Series 1, Bad Wolf – and then Brent then drops by and joins Michele in reviewing Her Own Bootstraps, a Ninth Doctor Short Trip Big Finish story by Amy Veeres.

You can get in touch with the campervan crew in the usual ways – send an email to feedback@thedoctorwhopodcast.com, find us on Twitter or on Facebook.

Enjoy the show!

Matt and David get all nostalgic this week (just for a change) as they discuss "their" Doctor, the one and only Paul McGann. Matt also watched a full length documentary about the period and consequently provides us with "The Wilderness Years According to Matt". They also try to decide who is the most handsome Doctor. Surprised it took 99 episodes, to be honest...

Doctor Who theme by Ron Grainer, arranged by Alexander Erben.

Matt also watched a full length documentary about the period and consequently provides us with "The Wilderness Years According to Matt". They also try to decide who is the most handsome Doctor. Surprised it took 99 episodes, to be honest...

Doctor Who theme by Ron Grainer, arranged by Alexander Erben.

This week, we celebrate the triumphant return of the entire universe with a quick snog in the bushes after Amy’s wedding, followed by a discussion of the final episode of Series 5, The Big Bang.

Notes and links

Here’s the tweet that started it all, a question from Nick H asking us what the hell this two-part story is all about.

According to The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, the Total Perspective Vortex annihilates your brain by showing you exactly how insignificant you are on a universal scale. It derives its image of the universe from the extrapolated matter analysis of one small piece of fairy cake.

Erik and Adam discuss Paul Cornell’s Timewyrm: Revelation not in an episode of Doctor Who: The Writers’ Room (sorry, Kyle), but in an episode of The Real McCoy podcast. In this episode, they mention several things that Cornell does in the novel which later turn up as features of the Moffat Era.

Here’s a fan production of Neil Penswick’s The Pit by the delightfully named Security Kitchen Productions.

In 2011, The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang won the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form, beating Vincent and the Doctor, A Christmas Carol and Rachel Bloom’s music video F*ck me Ray Bradbury.

And here’s the Twitter account of Liam McNicholas, who has been creating beautiful artwork to accompany our flight through the successive episodes of Series 5. By the time you read this, you’ll be able to see the complete set.

Picks of the week

We’ve all got some lovely TV shows for you to watch this week.

Todd

Todd wants you to experience the lavish off-screen wedding enjoyed by Leela and Andred some time after the end of Part 6 of The Invasion of Time. Or you could listen to us discussing it in Episode 55: Timothy Dalton’s Pyjamas, the FTE episode that mentioned word peril for the first time.

Brendan

Brendan is watching Butterflies (1978), starring Wendy Craig and our very own Geoffrey Palmer, in which the lovely middle-class Ria distracts herself from her low-level dissatisfactions with her family life by regularly meeting and chatting with another man. It’s very gentle, but also rather sweet and sad.

Richard

Richard is watching The Right Stuff (2020), which is a Disney+ series about the early days of the space race. (He also seems to have his eye on Nathan’s Season 8 box set.)

Nathan

Nathan recommends Love, Victor (2020), also on Disney+ in Australia, at least, in which a high school student in Atlanta struggles with the possibility that he might be gay. It’s sweet and funny and sad, with a lovely cast and a lot of heart. Series 2 is being released next week.
