Latest Podcast Episodes

Rob discusses the best of the past month in Doctor Who with super-sub Doc Whom (of the Diddly Dum podcast), filling in for David while he's away in the nation's capital.

Along the way, they cover:

- The Children in Need sneak peak of the Doctor Who Christmas episode. Does it point to what S10 might be like? And why was the response so muted?

- POWER OF THE DALEKS. Doc was at the BFI screening earlier in the month. What happened, and what does he think of it overall?

- Peter Davison's autobiography "Is There Life Outside The Box?" Rob's been slack and hasn't opened it. Doc's read it. Is it worth it?

- Class. Rob's seen six episodes at the time of recording. Doc's seen four. How are we both feeling about the series as the series ends?

- The Crown. Matt Smith's in it, so we discuss it.

- The X-Files. One from left of field. Doc's watching it for the first time and gives some thoughts as a first time viewer.

Plus, we throw in some randomness along the way about other happenings in our lives. Try it, you might like it...!

Rob and Steven from the New to Who podcast talk off-the-cuff and unstructured on the third Doctor Who Series 11 episode, Rosa. What did they make of it?

[The Doctor and her friends find themselves in the Deep South of America. As they encounter a seamstress by the name of Rosa Parks, they begin to wonder: is someone attempting to change history?]

More psuedo than science to be honest.

Sherlock Holmes became a beekeeper after he retired from detective work. Did you know that? Well you do now. It’s Timelash, written by Pennant Roberts and aired in March of 1985. I make a note that it was written by Pennant Roberts, because we constantly complain about McCoy when all he did was direct.

This is Bags of Action. The podcast devoted to action movies, both old and new, but all of them are awesome! In this episode Steve and Pete revisit the classic action film that spawned a host of sequels and me-too films with one man, fighting against ridiculous odds. But does the film hold up after all this time?

For a show about time travel, Doctor Who doesn't really go deep on matters historical, preferring a quick tour and a laugh to really getting into events as they unfold. But that changed this week with "Rosa," a look at how civil rights hero Rosa Parks herself changed the world, and how the Doctor and the Time Team deal with both alien threats and a very different (but also somewhat familiar) world to 2018. What did Steven, Warren, and Chris think of the episode? And will a very special addition to the stats report cause Warren to finally lose what's left of his mind?

Rob and Dave from the Doctor Who Show podcast review episodes of the BBC series (and Doctor Who spin-off), Class.

This week: The Metaphysical Engine, or What Quill Did

Miss Quill embarks on an extraordinary mission to remove the Arn from her head and reclaim her freedom, travelling to astonishing and dangerous worlds.

Historically, Doctor Who did best with historical storylines. After all, it started as an educational show. But how's it do with the American Civil Rights Movement? We shall see.

We’re broadcasting live this week from Little Hodcombe, where there’s an ongoing battle between Eric Pringle and some long-time Doctor Who podcasters desperately trying to find anything at all to say about this story. It’s Roundheads versus Cavaliers, and somehow the Doctor finds himself caught in the middle. Welcome to The Awakening.

Buy the story!

The Awakening was released on DVD in 2011. In the US, it was released on its own, as usual (Amazon US), but in the UK, it was released as part of a completely inexplicable box set called Earth Story, which inadvisedly bundled this story along with the really rather wonderful The Gunfighters. (Amazon UK).

Notes and links

The ITV series Sapphire and Steel was essentially about weird anachronisms creating hugely upsetting time things. The Awakening owes a lot to this, but it’s vastly less slow-moving and intolerable. Watch it, or maybe don’t watch it.

James Goss is the author of a brilliant novelisation of City of Death. In 2017, he will be releasing a novelisation of The Pirate Planet.

Doctor Who in 10 Seconds

Brendan’s back from Fiji, and he’s wearing a lovely sulu, but he’s still yet to find time in his exhausting schedule to acquire a stick-on BBC beard and record a new Master-centric episode of Doctor Who in 10 Seconds. While you’re waiting for that, feel free to enjoy the previous seven episodes, in which Brendan summarises the first seven seasons of Doctor Who. Check out the playlist on YouTube. You won’t regret it.

Bondfinger

We’ve all been totally rogered by the nightmare before Christmas, which has prevented us from recording our Bondfinger commentary episode on A View to a Kill, the final entry in Bondfinger’s flight through every Rodgefilm in the James Bond œuvre. We’ll be back on board early in the new year.

In the meantime, you can enjoy our other Rodgecasts, from For Your Eyes Only to Live and Let Die. Other Bonds are also available, of course. You can keep up with all the Bondfinger news on Twitter and Facebook.

My cunning plan to win Eurovision is to bring a Wolf Catapult to my performance.

This week we’re joined by Brendan and Nathan for what is quite possibly the most inefficient (but surely the most interesting) summary of a Doctor Who story in existence. The four hosts proceed to spend about 2 hours explaining the 2 hour long story. It might just be quicker to read the wikipedia page for the story while listening to it. But that wouldn’t be as fun, now would it? We also spend upwards of 10 minutes just trying to end the episode. It’s Bang -Bang-a-Boom! written by Gareth Edwards and Clayton Hickman and released in December of 2002. Bang-Bang-a-Boom! can be purchased for $3 (or your local equivalent) on Big Finish's website.
