For a Year With No Doctor Who, this week brought a surfeit of news, including tales of actors and writers headed for Series 10 (which begins filming this week!), news about Class, Doctor Who being included on the initial Emmy nomination list for the first time ever, and more! The mind veritably reels at this cornucopia of informational entertainments. But let's be honest, you're here for even more Rachel Talalay, and RFS delivers, as the acclaimed director joins us for the second of her two-part commentary, this one for "Hell Bent"!

It’s all ogre the news. Terileptals take London.

This week Kiyan and Dylan visit London. Or have they already done that? Or will they still do that? Is “The Visitation” past tense? Well. Anyway, it’s the Visitation, written by Eric Saward and aired in February of 1982.

The world will be destroyed in four days, apparently, and to prepare for this, Brendan is wearing a stylish green velour suit, Richard has gathered his hair in a delightful side ponytail, and Nathan has just really let himself go. It's Four to Doomsday.

Buy the story!

Four to Doomsday was released on DVD in 2008 in the UK and Australia, and in 2009 in the US. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK).

Notes and links

Fans of Philip Locke, who plays Bigon in this story, will enjoy his performances in three episodes of The Avengers: From Venus with Love, Mandrake and The Frighteners, which also featured Stratford Johns, who plays Monarch in this story. Horrifyingly, Philip Locke also plays creepy sexless henchmen Vargas in Thunderball.

Fans of bisected farm animals will enjoy Damien Hirst's 1993 artwork Mother and Child.

Much like the Urbankans, cane toads were introduced into Australia to control the grey-backed cane beetle. As usual, this didn't go well.

This YouTube video includes every utterance of the words "some kind of", "some sort of" or "some type of" in Star Trek: Voyager. There are 393, for God's sake.

Monarch weirdly anticipates Baron Silas Greenback from Danger Mouse.

Annie Lambert, this story's Minister of Enlightenment, plays Helen McKay in The New Avengers episode Three-Handed Game.

It's been a while since we did a Throwback Review, so let's look back at Mark Gatiss's second episode of New Who, which feel surprisingly like a mashup of the classic series and 1966's Batman TV show.

We review X-Men: Apocalypse discussing the Apocalypse storyline, the movie, and reflect upon the importance of the X-Men family of characters. All this plus the latest news, fan feedback, and more. Episode 009 of Discussing Who is hosted by Kyle Jones, Clarence Brown, and Lee Shackleford. (more…)

The world will be destroyed in four days, apparently, and to prepare for this, Brendan is wearing a stylish green velour suit, Richard has gathered his hair in a delightful side ponytail, and Nathan has just really let himself go. It’s Four to Doomsday.

On this very special episode of Blossom — I mean Doctor Who, Rose deals with the loss of her father.

Rose asks the Doctor if she could see her father when he was alive, the Doctor is wary but grants her wish… Happy Father’s Day!

It's time to go back to school as the Twelve Doctor goes deep under cover–by changing his jacket–at Clara's school. Not that his cover is very good, or very believable, or does anything but attract attention. Though with an alien war machine running around (as well as Clara's boyfriend) running around a little attention goes a long way.

My classic series re-watch reaches Doctor Who: The Space Pirates, officially a week of tired podcasting for me as eps 1&2 were watched on the day I returned from a weekend away in Glasgow, eps 3&4 were watched late night after a day out in Brighton and to top it all eps 5&6 were watched on the day I’d had my longest bike ride of my life 24 miles of it, mostly in sunshine. So apologies if my reviewing is vaguer than usual.

End theme: Dr Who(Gypsy Guitar) by Thrip

My classic series re-watch reaches Doctor Who: The Space Pirates, officially a week of tired podcasting for me as eps 1&2 were watched on the day I returned from a weekend away in Glasgow, eps 3&4 were watched late night after a day out in Brighton and to top it all eps 5&6 were watched on the day I'd had my longest bike ride of my life 24 miles of it, mostly in sunshine. So apologies if my reviewing is vaguer than usual.

Hey Who fans! We’re back to the normal format this week and after some very interesting news items, we’re onto the 12th Doctor story Robot of Sherwood.

The News

Series 10 starts filming next week, yay! Not so yay (depending on your opinion of this character) as we find out that Matt Lucas is returning as Nardole. Hmmm.

Adric is returning! Not in the TV show of course but with the rest of the crowded TARDIS team that we know and love from series 19 for Big Finish! The new three parter will be with us on January next year.

Merch

No merch this week :(

Competition

Those of you with sharp ears will have noticed we totally forgot to announce the winner to our Big Finish giveaway to win the War Doctor boxset Only the Monstrous so… you all have another week to get your entry in. Either tweet us, post us on Faebook or email us the answer to this question: what words does the War Doctor blast into the wall in the 50th Anniversary story The Day of the Doctor? A winner will DEFINITELY be announced on next week’s show.

“Robot of Sherwood” Review

A brilliant concept for an episode of Doctor Who; our time travelling Doctor at odds with one of history’s most famous outlaws but does the execution live up to the story?

Thank you for all your thoughts on this week’s review story, you’re all awesome! Next week we’re jumping back to the 3rd Doctor era for our review of The Sea Devils. Have a great week and until then – Allons-y!
