Latest Podcast Episodes

Thank you for downloading the Trap One Podcast.

On this episode US Jason, Chris, Matt and Mark join The Robot Revolution to discuss the series 2 opener.

Welcome to our midweek episode! There’s no guarantee we will be releasing a midweek episode every week, but Brent Drew and Ian very much wanted their say this time! Join the other half of the DWP Team for their take on The Robot Revolution. Note we did not say “for a more considered look” as we usually do with our “A” episodes, as this was recorded shortly after the ep dropped on BBC iPlayer and Disney Plus on Saturday. So the guys had practically no time to think before recording! Well, that’s their excuse anyway!

Check out the final episode of series three of The Echo Chamber when it drops tomorrow morning BST – and then we’ll be back on Saturday with our review of Episode Two of the latest series, Lux!

Enjoy the show.

In this episode of the Who's He? Podast....

Review - The Robot Revolution

After our knee-jerk reaction, Phil returns with Paul for a more in depth look at The Robot Revolution, starring Ncuti Gatwa and Varada Sethu. In this season opener, our reviewing duo face incels, robots and just how does Brian May and Art Garfunkel fit into all of this?

And in the news, we say goodbye to Jean Marsh and try to pick apart what Russell T. Davies meant when he said that Doctor Who had reached Robin Hood status.

Our special guest for this episode is actress Jessica Martin, known in Doctor Who for playing Mags in The Greatest Show in the Galaxy on television, and in a trilogy of stories for the Big Finish Doctor Who monthly range.

We'll talk about her career, her time in Doctor Who, conventions, mimicry and art.

Dwayne and Philip also cover some of the positive feedback from the latest Sirens of Audio live events with Matthew Waterhouse, and they discuss the reason why those live events don't always go to smaller, more regional areas.

Review - The Savages

In the week before we see new Doctor Who on our televisions, Phil and Scott look at the recent blu-ray release of The Savages, starring William Hartnell as the Doctor. With this story missing completely from the archives, this animated release sees the Doctor, Steven Taylor and Dodo Chaplet overthrow an evil race who drain the minds of the oppressed masses to enhance their own intelligence and live forever. As they chat about the merits of the story and the animation, Phil has to explain to Scott who Patrick Allen was and why he scared a generation.

And of course, they chat about the upcoming series of Doctor Who with Ncuti Gatwa!

Top Doctor Who guest stars we'd date (The List Makers)

In possibly the strangest episode of the List Makers ever committed to tape, this month we push the boat out - and then some - to answer a (modified) suggestion from a listener, plucked from Turlough's Hat of Rassilon. Who are the top Doctor Who guest stars we'd date? Why would we date them? Where would we go for said dates? What would your picks be? Why not write in and let us know?

You can follow us on X @theDWshow or Bluesky @thedwshow.net or email us about anything you like at: hello@theDWshow.net

Paul, Giles, Rick and Richard are back to discuss two stories with with double trouble - last episode it was 5th Doctor adventure The Caves of Androzani from Season 21, which we've paired this time with 11th Doctor story The Rebel Flesh / The Almost People from Series 6. We'll decide whether they have have double the fun, or just provoke a double take. 

Please like or share our podcast with people who will enjoy it, so we can build our listener base high for happiness. You can rate us directly on Apple Podcasts or Podchaser.com

Head over to https://www.bigfinish.com/, where we all love Paul's stories. His latest release is an Audio Novel called The Lord of Misrule featuring the Fourth Doctor, Romana, Jago and Litefoot and starring Jon Culshaw: https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/doctor-who-the-lord-of-misrule-3160

Rick posts on social media as @brickpandorica, where you can find fantastic pictures of his Lego models of Doctor Who moments. He's recently exhibited at the Calder Valley Brick Show and the Bricktastic show in Manchester.

Giles has 2 children's books out, which you can find in all good bookshops and also at these links: Can We Live on Mars? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mind-Mappers-Mappers-Making-Difficult-Understand/dp/B0C65GDB4G/ and Spin to Survive: Deep Space Danger https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spin-Survive-Destiny-Pop-Out-Fortune/dp/0711287767/.

Richard's other podcast "If It's Hurting, It's not Working" is currently on hiatus, but 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. For all episodes, go to https://ifhurtnotwork.podbean.com/ and https://ifhurtnot.work.

The Something Who logo, which features prominently on all our cover art was designed for us by Bea Garrido. She's a really talented artist, who you can find by following this link: https://beagarridoart.weebly.com/, where you can buy prints of some remarkable paintings of characters from Doctor Who.

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.

Review - The Claws of Axos

This time, Phil and Paul look at The Claws of Axos, starring Jon Pertwee as the Doctor and Katy Manning as Jo Grant. Written for television by Bob Baker and Dave Martin and adapted by Terrance Dicks for the Target novelisation, bumbling government ministers with delusions of grandeur, CIA agents with pleasantly ugly faces and a shrill musical score is the order of the day. So listen as our reviewing pair compare the television and book versions.

They also take the opportunity to celebrate 20 years of Doctor Who returning to our screens.

We also apologise for some sound problems during this recording, it was one hell of a night!

Before then, all the usual news and short topics you’ve come to expect – including surprise showrunner talk from RTD, and new trailers for Season 2 of the show. In Short Topics, Mike covers the changes coming to Gallifrey One (the world's largest and longest-running annual Doctor Who fan convention), in the years ahead. 

Later on, after the Paradise 5 section, we have a ton of listener feedback and what we’ve been watching this past month. Something for everyone! Fill your boots!

SHOW NOTES

(00:09:35) The Polish Social and Cultural Center (POSK for short) in London’s Hammersmith district was founded by the Polish community in the UK.

(00:18:57) “Swallows and Amazons” is a 1974 British film adaption of the 1930 novel of the same name by Arthur Ransome.

(00:19:57) This is a clip from “Val De Ree”, an episode of the “Victoria Wood Presents” BBC TV series from 1989. Here Victoria and her best friend Jackie go camping on the Yorkshire Dales.

(00:20:18) “Better drowned than duffers if not duffers won’t drown” is a telegram sent to the children in “Swallows and Amazons” from their Royal Navy father. There is deliberately no comma between “if” and “not”.

(00:30:45) Alternatively known as The Roman Baths, the open-air (filtered sea water) swimming pools at Lytham St Anne’s were opened in the early 1900s and closed down in the mid-1980s.

(00:36:23) Simon Groom was a presenter of BBC TV children’s programme “Blue Peter” from 1978 to 1986. Groom became known among the programme’s production team for his dry humour and ability to ad lib innuendo in his broadcasting (which would pass over the heads of the programme’s main audience of children). One such statement was at the end of a piece on a replacement door knocker at Durham Cathedral, declaring “what a beautiful pair of knockers”. Another remark followed a piece about hedge maintenance, in which he closed with the remark, “As long as you have a decent length to start with, well then you can manage a good lay”, much to the irritation of producer Biddy Baxter.

ProgNeg Bonus Release: "Terminal Take" #15

• It's Prognosis Negative Featuring Caleb and Eric. This episode is a bonus release of Eric's appearance on The Novice Elitists Film Podcast covering the second in their series of covering all the films by Stanley Kubrick, this time looking at Killer's Kiss (1955).

• ProgNeg will return with future episodes of The Reboot Era, but until then we will be releasing several of Eric's recent collaboration with The Novice Elitists Film Podcast.
• Follow us as we eventually release our thoughts on all the films by Stanley Kubrick!

• This discussion was filmed in front of a live bar-side audience on Jan 28th, 2022.

WARNING:

• This discussion contains miscellaneous SPOILERS pertaining to the film(s) discussed and possibly Doctor Who! If you are 100% spoilerphobic to films not yet seen, do not complain to us. This episode is mostly negative (though often that is a misnomer) and contains EXPLICIT terms, concepts, and as always expect strokes of innuendo throughout.
