Latest Podcast Episodes

'The Dalek Invasion of Earth' continues unabated with two episodes that feature a lot of characters scrambling around but are suprisingly light on actual Daleks, save of course for the much anticipated sequel to last episode's beloved art film, Woman Run Fast. Mike and Justin cover "Day of Reckoning" and "The End of Tomorrow", and find there's a bit less to talk about than usual. Also, there's no bloopers this week because we just didn't really mess up this week. Sorry! I'm sure we'll screw up real good next time.

Join us, won't you?

The Doctor Who Hour is a weekly show in which two friends, veteran Who-watcher Justin and first-time Who-watcher Mike, sit down to watch and discuss every episode of Doctor Who, starting from the very beginning. Follow us on Twitter @DoctorWhoHour or email us at TheDoctorWhoHour@gmail.com with questions, concerns, or just general nonsense.

Welcome new and old listeners alike! This week’s show has the usual waffle, latest news, some merch then our reviews of both Class Episode 5 – Brave-ish Heart and our 11th Doctor story – Dinosaurs on a Spaceship. Geronimo!

The News

Help historian David J Howe fund his museum to display his lifetime collection of Doctor Who merchandise. Check out his story and donate on the Indiegogo page (or search on Indieogo for The Doctor Who Merchandise Museum).

Merch

The Douglas Adams story The Pirate Planet is getting released in January and is based on the original notes Adams put down over 40 years ago. Will be a good pick up this one.

Warlord Games are releasing two additional miniature sets for the upcoming adventure table top game Into the Time Vortex. These new sets are the Cybermen and Dalek versions which can be custom painted.

“Class: Episode 5 – Brave-ish Heart” Review

The concluding episode to last week but has it ramped up the essentials to provide a fitting close or are we left a little disappointed?

“Dinosaurs on a Spaceship” Review

“I have a gang!” It’s always great to spend time with the 11th Doctor and this one has it’s fans and dislikers. What do we think though? A classic Doctor Who adventure or should it remain on the shelf, ready for extinction?

A huge thank you as always for you continued support and those that sent in reviews. Next week it classic week and it’s the turn of the 4th Doctor and The Sontaran Experiment. Have a super week and remember – Allons-y!!

Honestly, there's not much to say this week. The Oncoming Storm has lost one of it's own this week, and we're devastated. Sacha hasn't been on the show for well over a year due to his schedule and health issues, but he has remained a member of our dysfunctional family and we were expecting his return sooner rather than later. Sadly, Sacha passed away on 11/14/2016, due to complications during surgery. Episode 187 then, is dedicated entirely to the memory of Sacha Dzuba. Josh, Ashley, Rachel, and Jeff first come together to say a few things about their friend, and then because it's what he would have wanted, they spend two hours deep in geeky Doctor Who conversation. They cover Enemy of the Daleks by David Bishop, Psychodrome by Jonathan Morris, Fallen Angels by Phil Mulryne, and in an unfair twist of fate, Absent Friends by John Dorney. The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got a lot of tears. We miss you already Sacha.

This week we cover story #116, Castrovalva! With the newly-regenerated Doctor out of commission with regeneration sickness, Tegan and Nyssa step up to get him to a peaceful place where he can recover. But what treachery hides at the heart of this maze of a city, and who could be behind it? (Surprise, it's the Master!)

QotW: Castrovalva was named after a piece of art. What other piece of art would make a good DoctorWho title?

Join us next week for our review of Doctor Who story #117, Four to Doomsday! You can rent the DVD from Netflix, or buy the DVD from BarnesAndNoble.com, Amazon.com, the BBC Doctor Who Shop, or many other fine retailers. As of recording, WB Shop appears to have dropped almost all of their Doctor Who DVDs, however, so we can no longer recommend them as a source.

For those of you who are unaware, Paul Scoones is the man behind the legendary New Zealand Doctor Who fanzine, Time Space Visualiser. He's also one half of the team who tracked down a missing episode of Doctor Who - specifically 'The Lion', a missing episode of the William Hartnell story 'The Crusade', back in 1999. He's the author of the excellent 'The Comic Strip Companion', dealing with Doctor Who comics, and he's also written the infotext subtitles on many of the classic era Doctor Who DVDs you've watched.

Rob sits down with Paul and asks him to choose an item from his extensive collection for the Whotiques Roadshow. Paul selects a complete set of Doctor Who Target novels with a delightful twist... they're all in hardback. This leads the two on a discussion of the Target novels in general, what attracted Paul to the hardbacks, their value, plus what came later in the form of the Virgin New Adventures and Missing Adventures, BBC 8th Doctor and Past Doctor ranges, right up to the current BBC New Series Adventures.

We talk to Robert Llewellyn from Red Dwarf and feature a panel with Tom Hopper (Doctor Who, Merlin, Black Sails).

Another excellent first for you this week! Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we discuss the 4th Doctor's first episode. It's also a first in a few other ways--including in our hearts for some.

How do you feel about "Robot"? Do you love the big lug, the wackypants new Doctor who defeats him, and Sarah Jane's go-get-'em attitude? Or do you think it's so blatant a King Kong ripoff it distracts you from the story. Let us know in the comments!

^E

Also covered:

• Lynne purchased secret Doctor Who-themed Christmas presents for Michael! [Please note, the link here is a generic link and in no way hints at whatever Lynne might've purchased.]
• Tansy looks forward to seeing "The Power of the Daleks" in a movie theatre!
• Erika can't wait for Chicago TARDIS, where she and Lynne will present Verity: In Defense Of!
• Deb
  • by now has already had wild fun at LI Who!
  • adores the new Doctor Who scarf and hat!

In this week’s podcast, we revisit the world of Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart and review Candy Jar Books’ recently released Lethbridge-Stewart: The HAVOC Files 2. We have cultivated four stories from the anthology collection, as many have been already reviewed here on the podcast. We will turn our focus to House of Giants by Rick Cross, Ashes of the Inferno by Andy Frankham-Allen, Schadengeist's First Love by Jonathan Cooper, and Exodus from Venus by John Peel.

Plus, some very exciting news about the return of a Doctor Who convention, a wee bit earlier than once thought.

Enjoy!

Jason and Paul have finally moved past the Daleks, now it’s time for the Master! Almost. In this episode your hosts go way back the the First Doctor story “The Time Meddler” starring William Hartnell. In this episode we get new companions, rampaging vikings, and a meddling monk. Squeeze your stuffed pandas and stop messing around with history!

Ambassadors of Death

Adam, Andy and Debbie review the penultimate story of Pertwee's first series. We also have news, chat and a special interview with David J Howe discussing his exciting new project, The Doctor Who Merchandise Museum.

A very actiony Doctor Who episode is appreciated by Josh and his two amazing guests Liz and Deb. We are determining whether this is an episode called "The Flirting and the Doctor". Jo's pantsuit is the coolest thing about the Sea Devils - only to be replaced by Jo herself who is amazing in this story. Josh is trying not to be a white-straight-male during this episode and while loving Katy Manning, he is trying not to be in desperate love with her. Whether it is blow-hard or Blofeld, this episode is worth listening to because Deb and Liz rock. Enjoy!
