Latest Podcast Episodes

This week, we peek over the top of the couch (or possibly the hotel tub?) to see what the reactions are to a spider the size of a van in the fourth episode of Series 11. Continue reading -

This week Phil and Paul journey to Mars with erm.. the Empress of Mars by Mark Gatiss. In this tale of Ice Warriors vs Victorian Soldiers, is this a return to form for series 10 after a couple of bumpy episodes? Well, our reviewing duo certainly have a lot to discuss with the return of an old fan favourite, more movie references than you can shake a stick at and also plenty of listener feedback!

And in the news, RTD knows who the new Doctor is and there is Omega's Stats and Tat Corner!

Jason and Paul manage to return from the time vortex to discuss two episodes this time: “Pyramid at the End of the World” and “The Lie of the Land.” We’re pulling double duty to finish up the Monk’s Trilogy this time! But was it worth it? We’ve got mysterious pyramids, creepy monks, a pure companion, and the mother of all fake outs!

This month Steve and Scott talk about some of the good, the bad, and the very disappointing news in the last month. The show cancellations, the announcements and the lack of focus on some forthcoming projects. There's also an update from both Old Geeks about their new fitness regimes! For our main feature there's a new twist on Challenge Scott, as he firmly moves into the 21st century and Steve has a long list of projects for him to discover.

Jason and Paul manage to return from the time vortex, in just enough time to discuss two episodes this time around: "Pyramid at the End of the World" and "The Lie of the Land."  They're pulling double duty to finish up the Monk's Trilogy, but was it worth it?  There are mysterious pyramids, creepy monks, a pure companion, and the mother of all fake outs!  Listen in, and tell us all what you think.  Are these episodes great, or just a big fake-out, themselves?

Hey Who fans! Creepy Doctor Who is back but before our review some news featuring an interesting Torchwood update.

The News

Torchwood is coming back for series 5! Before we get too excited it’s for Big Finish (which is not a bad thing), we get to see K-9 ‘s new updated look for the (apparently still in production) movie and Philip Hinchcliffe gets an honorary award from the Doctor Who Appreciation Society.

“Knock Knock” Review

Does the series 10 awesome train continue with episode 4? We love it when Who does the creepy atmospheric thing but does this one provide enough intrigue and scares or are we left looking for alternative accommodation?

Thank you for listening and sending in your reviews. This Saturday Who goes back to outer space adventure with Oxygen so get your reviews in from Monday. Until next time have a great week and remember – Allons-y!

Empress of Mars" is the ninth episode of the tenth series of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It is written by Mark Gatiss and was broadcast on 10 June 2017 on BBC One. "Empress of Mars" received generally favorable reviews from television critics. The Doctor (Peter Capaldi), Nardole (Matt Lucas), and Bill (Pearl Mackie) travel to Mars, but upon arrival, they find themselves in the middle of a conflict between the Ice Warriors and Victorian soldiers. The episode marks the return of the Ice Warriors, last seen in "Cold War", an episode of the seventh series that was also written by Gatiss. Contents [hide] 1Synopsis 1.1Continuity 1.2Outside references 2Production 2.1Writing 3Broadcast and reception 3.1Critical reception 4References 5External links Synopsis[edit] On Earth 2017, NASA finds the words "God save the Queen" made of rocks buried under the ice cap of Mars. The Doctor, Bill and Nardole venture to Mars in 1881 to investigate, and they discover that the planet is occupied by human soldiers from Victorian Britain. Nardole goes back into the TARDIS, but it departs for unexplained reasons, returning to the university in present day. Nardole has to ask Missy for help getting back. The humans have befriended an Ice Warrior they have named Friday. Captain Catchlove says they rescued Friday from his crashed spaceship while on patrol in Africa. In exchange, Friday allowed the soldiers to use his species' technology to travel to and mine Mars. The Doctor surmises that Friday is using them to access to his hive. They soon unearth the tomb of the Ice Queen. Despite Colonel Godsacre's order to not approach it, one guard cuts a crystal from the base of the tomb which revives the Ice Queen, Iraxxa. Iraxxa's waking leads to a confrontation with the humans. Friday tells Iraxxa it has been 5,000 years, and Mars' surface is uninhabitable; the Doctor asks Iraxxa to show mercy and gain help from the humans. Dismissing the Doctor and the soldiers, she asks Bill for her opinion, as a fellow woman. She decides to relent based on Bill's word, but then a soldier suddenly fires his rifle, the shot harmlessly glancing off Iraxxa's helmet. Provoked, she returns fire. Catchlove takes command, locking up the Doctor, Bill, and Godsacre, and traps Iraxxa and Friday within the tomb, where they start reviving more Ice Warriors. As the Ice Warriors launch their attack, Friday allies himself with the Doctor and Bill and helps the Doctor gain control of the mining device. The Doctor threatens to use it to bury all under the ice cap. Catchlove holds Iraxxa at knifepoint and attempts to force her to help him pilot a spaceship back to Earth. Godsacre manages to surprise Catchlove and kills him, then begs Iraxxa to kill him. Iraxxa calls off the attack in exchange for Godsacre pledging himself to the Ice Warriors. The Doctor covertly contacts Alpha Centauri to assist the Ice Warriors. The Doctor and Bill help Godsacre leave the message that NASA will discover. Nardole re-appears with the TARDIS. Missy is also on board and expresses concern about the Doctor's health. Continuity[edit] The Doctor's sonic screwdriver still has "no setting for wood", a defect first mentioned in "Silence in the Library". The portrait of Queen Victoria displayed resembles Pauline Collins, who played the role in "Tooth and Claw". [1] Outside references[edit] Friday is named after the character "Friday" from Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe.[1] Bill mentions the movies The Terminator and The Thing, and the Doctor refers to the film Frozen.[1] Upon the discovery of the Ice Empress' tomb, the Doctor says "I've got a bad feeling about this," a recurring phrase in the Star Wars franchise.[2] Production[edit] The read-through for "Empress of Mars" was on 11 January 2017. Filming with the previous episode "The Lie of the Land started on 27 January, with principal shooting ending on 22 February.[2] Writing[edit] The story was originally to have been set on Peladon rather than Mars, hence the return of Alpha Centauri after 43 years.[1]It was also reported to have originally been planned as a sequel to the ninth series episode " Sleep No More", also by Mark Gatiss, referenced in the line delivered by the Ice Empress exhorting her warriors to "sleep no more".[3] Broadcast and reception[edit] The episode was watched by 3.58 million overnight.[4] It received an AI of 83.[5] Critical reception[edit] Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Rotten Tomatoes (Tomatometer) Rotten Tomatoes (Average Score) The A.V. Club Entertainment Weekly SFX Magazine [6] TV Fanatic IndieWire IGN 8.2[7] New York Magazine Radio Times [8] Daily Mirror [9] "Empress of Mars" received generally favorable reviews from television critics.[10]

MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast this week talks all about "Empress of Mars", Series 10, Episode 9 written by Mark Gatiss, a delightful homage to Classic Doctor Who. The story has Ice Warriors, Victorian Soldiers on Mars, and even a cameo by Alpha Centauri herself! Plus, some interesting Missy interaction to discuss and ponder what it could mean for the rest of the season. Plus, there's trivia (including a failure on my part that still has me marinating in shame) and news.

NOTE/CORRECTION on the NEWS bit - we talk about Russell T Davies giving a quote about the next Doctor. I got the quote wrong on the podcast - I read it as "I know who HE (the next Doctor) is" instead of the correct "I know who IT is" (that has been cast as the next Doctor). So, that's my screwup (based on my belief that the BBC will go male AGAIN, due to their hidebound stodginess), and I apologize. My hope is that I'll be proven wrong about the BBC (and to be fair, I'm OFTEN WRONG) and can happily proclaim as much in the future.

Please have a listen!

In this week’s show we look at the latest story in Doctor Who Series 10, The Empress of Mars. We’ll give our, very brief this week, impressions on the episode.

Also, some news, that’s not news, about news, that will be news eventually. We’re referring to a certain someone’s (*cough* RTD) claim that he’s aware of a certain casting of a certain favorite character of ours.

And of course, your feedback.

Enjoy!

Dave, Mike and Jeff have their work cut out as they must scour the Cultdom Studio making sure all of Ian's ancient Knock Knock Joke books are removed before anyone suffers and before they can start this weeks Commentary: Doctor Who - Knock Knock

Deserters, Ice Man Fridays, scrunched-up soldiers... All are welcome to this week's episode, where Jono Park is joined by Beyond the Sofa's Peter Adamson & Dave Ronayne to nut out if Empress impressed. Featuring no windows for Barbara, no mandate for May and no easy questions for the Regeneration Game (sorry Dave).

Featuring no windows for Barbara, no mandate for May and no easy questions for the Regeneration Game (sorry Dave).

Doctor Who may have reached "peak Gatiss" with the continuity-laden "Empress of Mars". Ben and David sift through the story to find the callbacks to older stories and wonder how this episode fits within the larger context of Series 10 of Doctor Who. Ben especially delights in the return of a certain hermaphrodite hexapod from the Pertwee era. Open music is the theme to the 1958 movie, "The Vikings" composed by Mario Nascimbene as described by Bill in story "as amazing". Closing music is an excerpt from "Skaldak" by Murray Gold composed for Mark Gatiss' earlier Ice Warrior story, "Cold War".

'God save the Queen' has been scrawled on the surface of Mars. What are Victorians doing on the home of the Ice Warriors? And what will they find beneath the Martian soil?

Rob and Dave sit down to discuss the episode.

A 5,000-year-old pyramid appears overnight, baffling everyone including the Doctor. Earth is invaded and Bill is living alone in occupied Britain. The Doctor appears to be on the side of the enemy, flooding the airwaves with fake news. Bill and Nardole embark on a deadly mission to rescue the Doctor and lead the resistance against the new regime, whatever the cost.
