It’s Christmas in July, and what could be more Christmassy than having your brains sucked out by predatory alien crabs? Why, Nick Frost as Santa, of course! So welcome, everyone, to your Last Christmas.

Notes and Links

We often use an episode’s show notes to enumerate a story’s influences, but Mr Moffat has already done it for us. Towards the end of the episode, Shona picks up a piece of paper which outlines her Christmas Day itinerary, including DVD (Alien), DVD (The Thing from Another World), and DVD (Miracle on 34th Street). She also plans to forgive Dave, which is nice.

Brendan mentions the long-forgotten Doctor Who spin-off Class, whose only season aired towards the end of 2016. Peter Capaldi’s Doctor appears in the first episode, which is his only onscreen appearance between the 2015 Christmas Special The Husbands of River Song and the 2016 Christmas Special The Return of Doctor Mysterio.

Before Last Christmas there was, of course, Inception (2010): Christopher Nolan’s film about people making a journey through nested dreamscapes.

Yes, James, we’ve already done the Star Trek: Generations podcast on Untitled Star Trek Project. But thank you for asking.

Brendan mentions the Futurama episode called The Sting, which is full of nested dreamscapes in which it’s unclear who is doing the actual dreaming. Clever, moving and ridiculous — you could almost say Moffaty. (Futurama is back right now with a new series. Exciting.)

On the brand new Trap One Podcast Keith (@50dw50), Frazer (@FelixFrazer), James (@Jikster2009) and Mark (@QuarkMcMalus) go behind enemy lines to examine A Genius for War, the latest volume of Big Finish's 60th anniversary series, Once and Future.

The novelization of Snakedance is published the month after the novelization of Kinda, so it fell to Terrance Dicks to adapt both Doctor Who Mara stories from the small screen to the printed page. Terrance doesn't have all that much to add to Christopher Bailey's complex themes and explorations of the dark sides of human nature... but we have plenty to add to the discussion.

Joining me this week is Jim Sangster (@Monster_Maker). Jim also contributed our show logo, and this week's celebrity voice impression sketch. Along the way, we'll talk about the great Hollywood movies, EuroVision and Top of the Pops, Nellie Bly, and... well, many other topics.

Superman: The Movie can be purchased or streamed on Amazon, while My Dinner With Andre can be watched free on YouTube.

You can hear the voices of H.G. Wells and Walt Whitman on YouTube, and also watch the entirety of the January 1973 Foreman v. Frazier heavyweight title fight.

Lastly, for more on Nellie Bly, check out the Bowery Boys Podcast, as I always do for all things NYC.

In past episodes of the podcast we've considered various TARDIS teams being placed into stories from other eras of Doctor Who and how they would fare. In this episode, we turn that concept on its head somewhat and each come to the table with a Doctor Who story from each era that we think could ONLY be of its era and not be made in a different era with a different team.

Before then, we also talk some recent Doctor Who news, including Ncuti Gatwa confirming he will complete at least two series of the show; Season 20 comes to Blu-ray; Target novelisations of the 60th anniversary stories; and Mark Gatiss comments on how he would play the Doctor.

This bonus episode features material from an abondoned project to record Doctor Who - The Seeds of Death by Terrance Dicks as an unofficial audiobook. It was progressing well... until BBC Audiobooks announced an official version was going to be released in 2023, read by David Troughton.

So here for you are the first five chapters of the book, read by The Sirens of Audio host, Dwayne Bunney.

If you like what you hear, we recommend you get along to wherever you can avail yourself of the official version and support that.

Michele and Drew pop up on no fewer than three occasions to review the Sixth Doctor, Mel and (new companion) Hebe box set from Big Finish, Water Worlds.

And not to be outdone, Brent and Ian dial back the clock to the Peter Capaldi’s story, Smile!

All that – and more irreverent Who banter besides – don’t miss it!

In anticipation of Neil Patrick Harris potentially being reviled as taking on the role of The Toynaker, we have decided to present to our listeners another Adversary Archive. We break down some stories featuring him. First, it’s Doctor Who: The Nightmare Fair, released as the first in the ‘Lost Stories’ series from Big Finish, We will be contrasting and comparing with the Target novelization written by Graham Williams who also wrote the script of the television story that was never made,

Then we look at the short story, The Game written by Warwick Gray, and was featured in Doctor Who Magazine issue 192.

Finally, we review the comic story, The Great Gamble from Doctor Who Magazine and written by John Peel.

And Keith brings us another ‘Something New, 2 Minute Review’ of ‘The Lost Stories: Daleks! Genesis of Terror’ from Big Finish.

Plus, we discuss several Doctor Who-related news items from the past few weeks.

Enjoy!

The post Episode 556 – Adversary Archive: The Toymaker – The Nexus of the Primeval Cauldron first appeared on Traveling the Vortex.

SHOW NOTES

(00:00:00) Our guest on this episode is Ian Winterton of Cutaway Comics. Cutaway Comics is a new British imprint of comics and graphic novels drawn from the darker recesses of a dangerous, unpredictable cutaway universe. From the creators of the acclaimed Vworp Vworp! Magazine, they star some of the most enigmatic characters to have graced our screens. Beginning with a four-issue limited series written by Eric Saward (Doctor Who) and featuring the mercenary Lytton (as portrayed by Gangster’s Maurice Colbourne), Cutaway Comics is also bringing you art from the UK’s hottest artists including Barry Renshaw (Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog). Cutaway Comics is inspired by the so-called ‘backup’ strips of Doctor Who Weekly, which delved deeper into the characters and cultures of the Doctor Who universe away from the Doctor. Stay tuned for some exciting and unprecedented explorations of the worlds of Doctor Who and beyond. Ian also appears on the Cutaway Bunker podcast.

(00:05:00) Ian and Gareth’s interview with the Diddly Dummers can be found on their own “Cutaway Bunker” podcast here.

(00:10:46) The Lass O’ Gowrie is a pub in the centre of Manchester once run by friend of the show and Ian’s partner in crime, Gareth Kavanagh, and once a haven for Doctor Who fans.

(00:13:50) “Hot Dog Magazine” was a film magazine published in the UK between 2000 and 2003. The “Taxi Driver” cover of its first issue can be seen on our Tumblr page here.

(00:22:54) Mark’s former band, Midwich, can be seen on our Tumblr page here.

(00:25:19) Some of the loveliest artwork ever to accompany the Diddly Dum Podcast was drawn and painted by our own Andy (The Rev) and a few example can se seen on our Tumblr page here.

(00:31:45) The Robert McKee “Story” book referred to here is “Story: Substance, Structure, Style and the Principles of Screenwriting”.

(00:47:45) “The Sixth Commandment” is a four-part BBC true-life crime drama, written by Sarah Phelps and directed by Saul Dibb. Based on the murder of Peter Farquhar and the death of Ann Moore-Martin, the series began to air on BBC One on 17 July 2023.

(00:48:35) The making of “Yes, Minister” book referred to here is “A Very Courageous Decision: The Inside Story of Yes Minister” by Graham McCann.

( ) “Why Don’t You…? (originally Wdyjsoytsagadslbi?: Why don’t you just switch off your television set and go and do something less boring instead?) was a BBC children’s television series broadcast in 42 series between 20 August 1973 and 21 April 1995. It was originally broadcast in the morning during the school summer holidays. The format consisted of groups or “gangs” of children responding to letters from viewers who wrote into the show suggesting games, ‘makes’ and days out. Typically these were arts-and-crafts activities or games and magic tricks children could learn to impress their friends. Russell T Davies was later at one time a producer and director for “Why Don’t You…?”. Under Davies’s direction, the format of the series shifted from magazine show to drama.

WE MAKE a fast return to the world of Big Finish Short Trips this week, as we explore The Hall of the Ten Thousand.

The Ten Thousand represent everything the Doctor admires. Ingenuity, creativity and triumph of peace over war. So, naturally, he’s taken Charlotte Pollard to see them.

Kenny and Tinne take a look at this tale, featuring interviews with producer Alfie Shaw and writer Jaine Fenn. You can find out more about her work at www.patreon.com/jainefenn

SHOW NOTES

(00:00:00) Our guest on this episode is Ian Winterton of Cutaway Comics. Cutaway Comics is a new British imprint of comics and graphic novels drawn from the darker recesses of a dangerous, unpredictable cutaway universe. From the creators of the acclaimed Vworp Vworp! Magazine, they star some of the most enigmatic characters to have graced our screens. Beginning with a four-issue limited series written by Eric Saward (Doctor Who) and featuring the mercenary Lytton (as portrayed by Gangster’s Maurice Colbourne), Cutaway Comics is also bringing you art from the UK’s hottest artists including Barry Renshaw (Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog). Cutaway Comics is inspired by the so-called ‘backup’ strips of Doctor Who Weekly, which delved deeper into the characters and cultures of the Doctor Who universe away from the Doctor. Stay tuned for some exciting and unprecedented explorations of the worlds of Doctor Who and beyond. Ian also appears on the Cutaway Bunker podcast.

(00:05:00) Ian and Gareth’s interview with the Diddly Dummers can be found on their own “Cutaway Bunker” podcast here.

(00:10:46) The Lass O’ Gowrie is a pub in the centre of Manchester once run by friend of the show and Ian’s partner in crime, Gareth Kavanagh, and once a haven for Doctor Who fans.

(00:13:50) “Hot Dog Magazine” was a film magazine published in the UK between 2000 and 2003. The “Taxi Driver” cover of its first issue can be seen on our Tumblr page here.

(00:22:54) Mark’s former band, Midwich, can be seen on our Tumblr page here.

(00:25:19) Some of the loveliest artwork ever to accompany the Diddly Dum Podcast was drawn and painted by our own Andy (The Rev) and a few example can se seen on our Tumblr page here.

(00:31:45) The Robert McKee “Story” book referred to here is “Story: Substance, Structure, Style and the Principles of Screenwriting”.

(00:47:45) “The Sixth Commandment” is a four-part BBC true-life crime drama, written by Sarah Phelps and directed by Saul Dibb. Based on the murder of Peter Farquhar and the death of Ann Moore-Martin, the series began to air on BBC One on 17 July 2023.

(00:48:35) The making of “Yes, Minister” book referred to here is “A Very Courageous Decision: The Inside Story of Yes Minister” by Graham McCann.

( ) “Why Don’t You…? (originally Wdyjsoytsagadslbi?: Why don’t you just switch off your television set and go and do something less boring instead?) was a BBC children’s television series broadcast in 42 series between 20 August 1973 and 21 April 1995. It was originally broadcast in the morning during the school summer holidays. The format consisted of groups or “gangs” of children responding to letters from viewers who wrote into the show suggesting games, ‘makes’ and days out. Typically these were arts-and-crafts activities or games and magic tricks children could learn to impress their friends. Russell T Davies was later at one time a producer and director for “Why Don’t You…?”. Under Davies’s direction, the format of the series shifted from magazine show to drama.

It’s Christmas in July, and what could be more Christmassy than having your brains sucked out by predatory alien crabs? Why, Nick Frost as Santa, of course! So welcome, everyone, to your Last Christmas.

Notes and Links

We often use an episode’s show notes to enumerate a story’s influences, but Mr Moffat has already done it for us. Towards the end of the episode, Shona picks up a piece of paper which outlines her Christmas Day itinerary, including DVD (Alien), DVD (The Thing from Another World), and DVD (Miracle on 34th Street). She also plans to forgive Dave, which is nice.

Brendan mentions the long-forgotten Doctor Who spin-off Class, whose only season aired towards the end of 2016. Peter Capaldi’s Doctor appears in the first episode, which is his only onscreen appearance between the 2015 Christmas Special The Husbands of River Song and the 2016 Christmas Special The Return of Doctor Mysterio.

Before Last Christmas there was, of course, Inception (2010): Christopher Nolan’s film about people making a journey through nested dreamscapes.

Yes, James, we’ve already done the Star Trek: Generations podcast on Untitled Star Trek Project. But thank you for asking.

Brendan mentions the Futurama episode called The Sting, which is full of nested dreamscapes in which it’s unclear who is doing the actual dreaming. Clever, moving and ridiculous — you could almost say Moffaty. (Futurama is back right now with a new series. Exciting.)

And more

You can find Jodie into Terror, our flashcast on the entirety of the Whittaker Era of Doctor Who, at jodieintoterror.com, at @JodieIntoTerror on Twitter, on Apple Podcasts, and wherever podcasts can be found. We’ll be back with a new flashcast on the second Russell T Davies era in November. (We also hint at another untitled Doctor Who project this episode, but you’ll find out more about that later in the year.)

We can also be heard on the Blakes 7 podcast Maximum Power, which has completed its coverage of the first half of the show’s entire run. We’re determined to bring you our coverage of Series C later this year.

There’s also our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. In our most recent episode, we watch a terrible episode of the Animated Series called Bem and spend a lot of time laughing.
