Three brand new adventures featuring Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor. 2.1 Girl, Deconstructed by Lisa McMullin Marnie is missing. But she hasn't run away, as her dad fears - Marnie is still very much at home. But not quite as she was. The Doctor joins forces with Missing Persons detective Jana Lee to help solve the mystery of a girl who's gone to pieces. 2.2 Fright Motif by Tim Foley In post-War Paris, musician Artie Berger has lost his mojo, but gained a predator - something that seeps through the cracks of dissonance to devour the unwary. Luckily for Artie, the Doctor is here. Unluckily for everyone, he needs bait to trap a monster... 2.3 Planet of the End by Timothy X Atack The Doctor arrives on a mausoleum world for sightseeing and light pedantry, correcting its planetary records. The resident AI has other ideas. Deep within a tomb, something stirs. Occasus is the last resting place of a species far too dangerous to exist. And the Doctor is its way back.

SHOW NOTES

(00:00:00) Our guests on this podcast are friends of the show, Gareth Kavanagh and Ian Winterton of Cutaway Comics and Vworp Vworp fame.

(00:07:50) “A Meeting on the Common” is an 18 minute animation of the much loved alternative opening to Doctor Who, as told by David Whitaker in his classic 1964 novelisation “Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks”. The animation features on the free DVD accompanying the latest Vworp Vworp magazine (volume 6) and is directed and animated by Mel Meanley, adapted by Ian Winterton and stars Stephen Noonan (the Doctor), Adam Grayson (Ian), Helen Stirling-Lane (Barbara) and Kerry Ely (Susan)

(00:16:07) “An Exciting Adventure with David Whitaker” by Simon Guerrier celebrates the extraordinary, little-known life of one of its chief architects, David Whitaker. As the show’s first story editor, he helped to establish the compelling blend of adventure, imagination and quirky humour that made – and continues to make – the series a hit. David commissioned the first Dalek story, and fought for it to be made when his bosses didn’t like it. Regeneration, the TARDIS being alive, the idea of Doctor Who expanding to become a multimedia phenomenon in comics, books and films… David Whitaker was all over it. Yet very little was known about this key figure in Doctor Who history – until now. Why did he fall out with Irving Berlin? Was he really engaged to Yootha Joyce? And how did an assignment to Moscow badly affect his career? The book can be bought here.

(00:16:40) The penny which dropped midway through Doc’s surprisingly detailed telling of the blacklisting of David Whitaker following the Moscow conference turns out to have been perfectly correct. Doc’s wealth of information did indeed come entirely from Simon Guerrier‘s article “Mission to Moscow” which appeared in the BBC magazine “The Essential Doctor Who – Adventures in Space” (2017) and which Doc did indeed come upon while recently researching for our review of “Ambassadors of Death” for podcast 189. Simon’s article can be found on our Tumblr page here.

(00:25:16) Sylvester Sneakley (a.k.a.) The Hooded Claw was of course the dastardly villain of “The Perils of Penelope Pitstop”.

(00:33:35) “The Philip Hinchcliffe Years – The DNA of Doctor Who”. Get ready for the ultimate book on the Philip Hinchcliffe years of Doctor Who! A brand new title spearheading the launch of a new range of beautiful large format books! “It’ll be a different kind of book that’s been written, I think, about Doctor Who” (Philip Hinchcliffe). From Morbius to Krynoids, Eldrad to Wirrn, ROUNDEL PUBLISHING takes an in-depth look with unrivalled access to the architect of some of the most revered years of Doctor Who’s history! Available in softback, hardback or deluxe hardback options including the option to receive signed copies, exclusive art prints and even the chance to get a personal message from Philip himself! The first in a brand-new series of lavish books examining the key creatives behind Doctor Who – THE DNA OF DOCTOR WHO takes a look at the creatives involved in making Doctor Who through the lens of newly-commissioned essays examining key themes, critical responses and reflections on the era in question. The book is currently available for pre-order.

(00:37:35) Richard Lewis Hearne (1908 – 1979) was a British actor, comedian, producer and writer. He is best remembered for his stage and television character Mr Pastry. He was interviewed for the role of the Fourth Doctor after the departure of Jon Pertwee, but a disagreement over his interpretation of the role (he wanted to play the Doctor as Mr Pastry) led to no offer being made by the producer, Barry Letts. The role was subsequently offered to Tom Baker. In 1976, Richard Hearne appeared as Mr Pastry on the BBC’s old time music hall show, “The Good Old Days”.

(00:47:37) Arthur Atkinson was a fictional character from the BBC’s sketch comedy “The Fast Show”, played by Paul Whitehouse. He had a terrible singing voice and was made to mime to someone else’s material.  Later, he would be cast in his own sitcom (Blame Arthur!) and would cameo in the 70’s sex comedy Confessions of a Door to Door Cucumber Salesman. He can be seen on Youtube here.

(01:04:00) The letterhead of Mary Whitehouse’s National Viewers’ and Listeners’ Association can be seen on our Tumblr page here.

(01:06:47) This audio clip is from “Fawlty Towers – The Hotel Inspectors” and of course features Bernard Cribbins.

(01:18:18) “The Philip Hinchcliffe Years – The DNA of Doctor Who”. Get ready for the ultimate book on the Philip Hinchcliffe years of Doctor Who! A brand new title spearheading the launch of a new range of beautiful large format books! “It’ll be a different kind of book that’s been written, I think, about Doctor Who” (Philip Hinchcliffe). From Morbius to Krynoids, Eldrad to Wirrn, ROUNDEL PUBLISHING takes an in-depth look with unrivalled access to the architect of some of the most revered years of Doctor Who’s history! Available in softback, hardback or deluxe hardback options including the option to receive signed copies, exclusive art prints and even the chance to get a personal message from Philip himself! The first in a brand-new series of lavish books examining the key creatives behind Doctor Who – THE DNA OF DOCTOR WHO takes a look at the creatives involved in making Doctor Who through the lens of newly-commissioned essays examining key themes, critical responses and reflections on the era in question. The book is currently available for pre-order.

(01:26:20) “Cutaway Bunker Podcast”.

(01:32:30) Gareth appeared on our podcast #32 which can be found here.

(01:34:48) This is of course based on the “J. R. Hartley” Yellow Pages commercial.

(00:07:50) “A Meeting on the Common” is an 18 minute animation of the much loved alternative opening to Doctor Who, as told by David Whitaker in his classic 1964 novelisation “Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks”. The animation features on the free DVD accompanying the latest Vworp Vworp magazine (volume 6) and is directed and animated by Mel Meanley, adapted by Ian Winterton and stars Stephen Noonan (the Doctor), Adam Grayson (Ian), Helen Stirling-Lane (Barbara) and Kerry Ely (Susan)

(00:16:07) “An Exciting Adventure with David Whitaker” by Simon Guerrier celebrates the extraordinary, little-known life of one of its chief architects, David Whitaker. As the show’s first story editor, he helped to establish the compelling blend of adventure, imagination and quirky humour that made – and continues to make – the series a hit. David commissioned the first Dalek story, and fought for it to be made when his bosses didn’t like it. Regeneration, the TARDIS being alive, the idea of Doctor Who expanding to become a multimedia phenomenon in comics, books and films… David Whitaker was all over it. Yet very little was known about this key figure in Doctor Who history – until now. Why did he fall out with Irving Berlin? Was he really engaged to Yootha Joyce? And how did an assignment to Moscow badly affect his career? The book can be bought here.

(00:16:40) The penny which dropped midway through Doc’s surprisingly detailed telling of the blacklisting of David Whitaker following the Moscow conference turns out to have been perfectly correct. Doc’s wealth of information did indeed come entirely from Simon Guerrier‘s article “Mission to Moscow” which appeared in the BBC magazine “The Essential Doctor Who – Adventures in Space” (2017) and which Doc did indeed come upon while recently researching for our review of “Ambassadors of Death” for podcast 189. Simon’s article can be found on our Tumblr page here.

(00:25:16) Sylvester Sneakley (a.k.a.) The Hooded Claw was of course the dastardly villain of “The Perils of Penelope Pitstop”.

(00:33:35) “The Philip Hinchcliffe Years – The DNA of Doctor Who”. Get ready for the ultimate book on the Philip Hinchcliffe years of Doctor Who! A brand new title spearheading the launch of a new range of beautiful large format books! “It’ll be a different kind of book that’s been written, I think, about Doctor Who” (Philip Hinchcliffe). From Morbius to Krynoids, Eldrad to Wirrn, ROUNDEL PUBLISHING takes an in-depth look with unrivalled access to the architect of some of the most revered years of Doctor Who’s history! Available in softback, hardback or deluxe hardback options including the option to receive signed copies, exclusive art prints and even the chance to get a personal message from Philip himself! The first in a brand-new series of lavish books examining the key creatives behind Doctor Who – THE DNA OF DOCTOR WHO takes a look at the creatives involved in making Doctor Who through the lens of newly-commissioned essays examining key themes, critical responses and reflections on the era in question. The book is currently available for pre-order.

(00:37:35) Richard Lewis Hearne (1908 – 1979) was a British actor, comedian, producer and writer. He is best remembered for his stage and television character Mr Pastry. He was interviewed for the role of the Fourth Doctor after the departure of Jon Pertwee, but a disagreement over his interpretation of the role (he wanted to play the Doctor as Mr Pastry) led to no offer being made by the producer, Barry Letts. The role was subsequently offered to Tom Baker. In 1976, Richard Hearne appeared as Mr Pastry on the BBC’s old time music hall show, “The Good Old Days”.

(00:47:37) Arthur Atkinson was a fictional character from the BBC’s sketch comedy “The Fast Show”, played by Paul Whitehouse. He had a terrible singing voice and was made to mime to someone else’s material.  Later, he would be cast in his own sitcom (Blame Arthur!) and would cameo in the 70’s sex comedy Confessions of a Door to Door Cucumber Salesman. He can be seen on Youtube here.

(01:04:00) The letterhead of Mary Whitehouse’s National Viewers’ and Listeners’ Association can be seen on our Tumblr page here.

(01:06:47) This audio clip is from “Fawlty Towers – The Hotel Inspectors” and of course features Bernard Cribbins.

(01:18:18) “The Philip Hinchcliffe Years – The DNA of Doctor Who”. Get ready for the ultimate book on the Philip Hinchcliffe years of Doctor Who! A brand new title spearheading the launch of a new range of beautiful large format books! “It’ll be a different kind of book that’s been written, I think, about Doctor Who” (Philip Hinchcliffe). From Morbius to Krynoids, Eldrad to Wirrn, ROUNDEL PUBLISHING takes an in-depth look with unrivalled access to the architect of some of the most revered years of Doctor Who’s history! Available in softback, hardback or deluxe hardback options including the option to receive signed copies, exclusive art prints and even the chance to get a personal message from Philip himself! The first in a brand-new series of lavish books examining the key creatives behind Doctor Who – THE DNA OF DOCTOR WHO takes a look at the creatives involved in making Doctor Who through the lens of newly-commissioned essays examining key themes, critical responses and reflections on the era in question.

Join Phil and James as they preview the now imminent Series 13 – Chapter 1 of Flux will be on our telly boxes in a week’s time!

They also attempt to catch up on all the Who news/goings-on in Whodom that happened straight after the release of the last DWP! So the trailer for Flux, the mysterious materialisation/re-matarialisation of the BBC’s Doctor Who social media channels – and the announcement that Classic Series 17 will be the next to be given the bluray treatment are all covered here. Surely nothing else can be announced? Episode titles for Flux perhaps?! NAH!!!

We’ll be back as soon as possible after Flux airs next Sunday – enjoy the show but more importantly, enjoy Doctor Who being back on the telly!

This time we go way back and pick up where we left off with the Sixth Doctor and his lovely companion, Evelyn Smythe in the Big Finish Monthly Range story 143, The Crimes of Thomas Brewster.

But first, we take a cursory look at the recently released Blu-Ray/DVD of The Underwater Menace. You can hear our review of the story back in Episode 283 – Nothing In the World Can Stop Us Now.

Plus we discuss the news and have a convention update.

Enjoy!
