Hot on the heels of Eighth Wonder earlier this month, Drew, James, Ian, Michele and Phil get together for another excursion in the DWP Campervan. Poor Brent is still convalescing after spending a week discussing retro-genitor particles! (The 40% discount off Dark Eyes 1 is still valid, but only until the end of April 2021!)

Firstly, James and Drew catch up and discuss Season Eight on blu-ray (or at least the parts James has seen to date), the lack of Daleks in Dalek Universe 1 and generally, how brilliant a job Big Finish are doing at keeping companions from the sixties-era alive in brand new stories.

Phil then joins Ian for the latest installment of Nine Lives where The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances are put under the microscope.

Last but not least, Michele speaks to James and Ian about a multi-Doctor story that brings the First and Second Doctors together in Daughter of the Gods.

All that plus – Drew and James critically analyse contributions to the world of singing……from John Barrowman and William Shatner. Oh dear.

As always, we’d love to hear from you! Send in your thoughts and feedback (audio or written) on anything Who or DWP related and we’ll discuss on an upcoming episode. Email us at feedback@thedoctorwhopodcast.com, get in touch on Twitter or search for us on Facebook.

We’ll be back with Episode 322 at the end of May! Enjoy the show.

The News

We run down the latest trailer for Series 12 and it's opening story "Spyfall".

Merch Corner

Cuteness all around this week with new Mr Men and Little Miss cushions for the 11th and 13th Doctors, chibi-style pin badges and a set of 6 Sonic Screwdrivers.

Review story this week is SJA: The Eternity Trap

Things take a dark turn for the Attic Crew in this creepy haunted house story. A slight change to the norm for SJA but is that good or does it give us nightmares?

Thank you all for listening this week. Our review story next week will be the 2nd Doctor story - The Moon Base. Until then have a great week and remember – Allons-y!

Future flannel > present flannel, prove me wrong.

So once upon a time I met this crazed archaeologist, his name was like Toberman or something. He took me to this tomb where he said there was a golden idol he wanted so he went in there and got it. There was this giant boulder and then I don’t really remember what happened next. It’s Tomb of the Cybermen, written by Kit Pedler and Gerry Davis and aired in September of 1967.

Show-notes:
1:47: Killer was not the one with IMIPAK it was the one with the plague. You know. Like the one we’re living through right now. Weapon was the one with IMIPAK.
3:42: Goodyear tire company, not to be confused with the Lightyear tire company.
5:08: I was thinking of Janley here.
8:03: I might’ve been thinking of Kemel here, but I barely remember what his role was in Evil of the Daleks.
14:50: Here, once again, is Christopher Eccleston saying that we should blow up canon.
15:25: Luckily there’s no such thing as canon.
17:12: Interestingly, the first time the TARDIS sound effect appears was actually An Unearthly Child, but curiously the TARDIS doesn’t make a noise in Keys of Marinus. The explanation for this is that takeoffs always had the sound effect and landings did not, at least until The Rescue, in Season 2.
18:29: Turns out when the UK says “we’ll get tariff free imports from the EU when we leave” they really meant “we only get tariff free imports from the EU when we’re in the EU lol pranked ya.”
27:35: Did ten seconds of research and found no information on when Doctor Who started to do more frequent retakes of scenes.
39:40: Behold, the Lytton Symphonic Suite.
43:45: According to TV Tropes, the password is always “Swordfish”.
57:45: Yes Patrick Troughton really did want to play the Doctor in blackface.
1:05:55: Check out Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast, our movie trilogy podcast.
1:07:05: Supermarionation is a really fun word to say actually.

This week, we’re joined by Johnny Spandrell for an hour of love, self-loathing and psychic pollen from the candle meadows of Karass don Slava, as we discuss Amy’s Choice.

Notes and links

Steven Moffat’s first attempt at self-loathing sex comedy was Joking Apart (1993–1995), in which he rummages through the ruins of an old long-term relationship. It’s funny in places, and deeply problematic in others, in a way that many Doctor Who fans will find disturbingly familiar.

Toby Jones’s father was Freddie Jones, who started his career in amateur dramatics and was always in work from the 1960s onwards. He appeared opposite David Tennant in Casanova (2005).

Toby Jones plays Truman Capote in the 2006 film Infamous. Richard also mentions another film featuring Truman Capote, this time played by Capote himself. It’s The Capote Tapes, a documentary that featured as part of this year’s Mardi Gras Film Festival in Sydney.

Simon Nye’s script for this episode can be found on this page of the BBC website, along with a whole heap of scripts from nearly every season of the new series of Doctor Who.

Episode 70: Not a Lot of Legit Neuroscience is the start of an ambitious three-episode double-arc, as the guys begin discussions about Doctor Who Monthy’s 1980s Stockbridge comics and Big Finish’s “Stockbridge trilogy of audios from the 2000s! This episode we discuss “The Neutron Knights,” “The Tides of Time” and “Castle of Fear,” and if that wasn’t enough, we still find the time for The Brain of Morbius, some Dave Gibbons love and a bit of metaphysical music theory. All this, as well as Osbert Mudstealer, Maud the Withered and 30-50 feral hogs*!

*Hog numbers may be approximate.

We're back with the second episode in a fortnight with the second part of our  Anniversary Special.

Richard, Paul and Giles have an encounter with a potentially deadly adversary in the Under Gallery. Then they have a chat about The Night of the Doctor and The Day of The Doctor, the two anniversary outings from November 2013. Richard and Paul get all nostalgic for the Eighth Doctor on Big Finish, while Giles recalls watching Day in a pub with Jeremy Bentham.

(Please) contact us on Twitter on @something_who or on e-mail at somethingwho@gmx.us

The opening music is Three Guitars Mood 2 and the closing music is possibly the worst ever version of the Doctor Who theme from Richard on ukulele and kazoo.

On July 29, 2018, Rob and Dave released the popular, 'Classic Doctors in Nu Who Episodes' episode. Quite why they didn't follow this up with a sequel covering the reverse scenario question eludes them to this day.

Enter listener Owen Prince (@kellogs24 on Twitter if you want to say hello), who recently suggested, ever so nicely, that making the sequel - the podcast you'll hear today - would be a really top idea.

As you know, we love hearing from our listeners, and we took the idea to heart.

Tune in to hear which classic stories we'd insert Eccleston, Tennant, Smith, Capaldi, and Whittaker into. Some choices might seem obvious, but some will definitely catch you by surprise. They're off the wall!

Before we get to that, of course, there's our usual news and short topics. The feature content starts around the 25 minute mark if you're looking this up at a future date and want to skip the preamble. 

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

On this week's podcast, disaster befalls the TARDIS and the Doctor must venture inside to rescue Clara while dealing with salvagers who just want to make a quick buck on the scrap.

QotW: The title "Journey to the Center of the TARDIS" is clearly derived from the Jules Verne novel "Journey to the Center of the Earth". If you were to replace a word in an existing book title with the word "TARDIS", what would your story be?

Join us next week for our review of Doctor Who story #237, The Crimson Horror! Our audio adventure will be Destiny of the Doctor #10, Death’s Deal, available from BigFinish.com.

On this week's podcast, disaster befalls the TARDIS and the Doctor must venture inside to rescue Clara while dealing with salvagers who just want to make a quick buck on the scrap.

QotW: The title "Journey to the Center of the TARDIS" is clearly derived from the Jules Verne novel "Journey to the Center of the Earth". If you were to replace a word in an existing book title with the word "TARDIS", what would your story be?

So Here are the Things.../Listener Mailbag/Who News

After a week off for the Thanksgiving holiday here in the U.S., we return with a review of the recently released (in North America that is) animated reconstruction of The Macra Terror on DVD. We reviewed this story way back in Episode 295 of the podcast, so this time we examine the quality of the animation as well as some of the features included in this two-disc edition.

Plus, we’ll look at the news from the past few weeks, including the official announcement of the return of Doctor Who on our television screens.

Enjoy!
