Review - Phantasmagoria

Cricket! Gambling! Yes, this episode Phil and Paul enter the world of gentlemen's rooms with Phantasmagoria from Big Finish. In this story featuring Peter Davison as the Doctor and Mark Strickson as Turlough, dodgy playing cards, spirits and a house made of meat is the order of the day. But what did they think of this story that was released when Paul and Phil were both in the twenties? Apart from making them feel old of course!

The Doctor Who publicity machine is slipping into second gear with Gatwa and Gibson making the rounds of a BBC premiere, chat shows, Variety Magazine, and more, but that doesn’t stop the Three Who Rule from marinating in questionable nostalgia as they recall viewing The Phantom Menace for the first time 25 years ago, aka the Dawn of Anticipointment. Plus we issue an all hands on deck alert for next week’s Gallifrey One Hotelmageddon, and Warren emerges from the Metaverse to give his take on the just released PS VR2 version of The Edge of Time! Don your own Helmet of Pretend and join us!

It's late April 2024, but Doctor Who Literature takes us back to mid-February, and to the Gallifrey One convention in Los Angeles, where Mark from the Trap One Podcast joined me over dinner for a My Dinner With Andre-style conversation about the 1969 Doctor Who serial The Seeds of Death, and its 1986 novelization by Terrance Dicks.

You can view My Dinner With Andre in full here.

The Proclaimers appeared on Late Night With David Letterman in March 1989.

Big Blue Marble was a long-running 1970s/'80s PBS series produced in part by Rick Berman (yes, that Rick Berman). You can view an episode here. The opening theme (sampled in this episode) features lyrics by Berman, music by Paul Baillargeon, and vocals by Whitney Kershaw.

Back in 1996, Virgin Publishing was pumping out Doctor Who 'New Adventures' and 'Missing Adventures' novels every month, which were both very popular ranges with fans.

Then it made... this.

Who Killed Kennedy is a standalone Doctor Who novel that is very much its own thing. Tonight, we discuss the novel... what it is, what it's about, and what we think of it.

Before then, news from the past month including our thoughts on Millie Gibson appearing in season two, and much more.

On this Sunday's flagship show, we review the 1996 Virgin Publishing Doctor Who novel, Who Killed Kennedy.

We appreciate it might be some time since some of you read it, and many of you might have never read it at all (being a nearly 30 year-old novel!), so this episode serves as a synopsis of the novel, enabling you to brush up on the basic storyline.

Take note, this isn't a discussion, and it rattles along at a fair old pace. If you're not up on the first few seasons of Pertwee (and even a few stories that happened before his era), you might miss some of what's going on in this one. But stick with it, and try to get the flavour of what's going on, and we're sure it will benefit you when listening to us talk about the novel on Sunday.

See you then!

This title was released in March 2024. It will be exclusively available to buy from the Big Finish website until 30 April 2024, and on general sale after this date. The war between the Sontarans and the Rutans has been going on for millennia. And is likely to continue for millennia more. A terrible conflict with no care for consequences or collateral damage. Billions have died with no end in sight. Its reach can encompass ancient Ireland and a forest world in the far future. Encounters with UNIT and a Doctor no more. From the outside these battles may seem disconnected. But sometimes there is a common thread. And unpicking that could destroy everything. When a trip to the planet Taxodon goes wrong the Doctor finds himself with mere hours to prove himself innocent of murdering a Sontaran. As more die, the Doctor and Charley need to uncover the cause and why the Sontarans are even on this planet... if they have time.

We're used to looking at a screen and seeing dodgy creatures attacking a pair of plucky adventurers.

With Carnival of Monsters, you can watch other folk doing the same thing. It's like Gogglebox with grey aliens.

Can a chota peg really solve any behemoth-based problem?

How easy is it to drug-mule a set of skeleton keys?

How many seconds were spent making the Functionary masks and how much change did they get out of a pound note?

And were Jim and Martin amused by the miniscope or did it leave them colder than an Inter Minor welcome?

Listen to find out! 

This episode can also be found at iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible and all other podcatchers (as far as we know).

You can also find us on Facebook, Threads and Bluesky (but we've exited X - far too Musky for our tastes these days).

Thanks for listening

Well, they can't all be complete winners. And while Boom Town is better than our last episode, The Long Game, it still isn't great. But, as we always do, we make our way through to find the good bits and polish them up as best we can. And on a programming note, we're going to take an extra week off to rest up, refresh, and be ready for the start of the first season of New Modern Who! So we'll be back around May 15th!

It will be exclusively available to buy from the Big Finish website until 30 April 2024, and on general sale after this date. 13.1 Storm of the Sea Devils by David K Barnes (4 parts) Surgeon Lieutenant Harry Sullivan is supposed to be on holiday. But his arrival in Calcutta is intercepted by someone from the local branch of UNIT - a staff member called Naomi Cross. A businessman in the area has mysteriously cancelled the opening of his new hotel... and local villagers have reported sightings of 'devils' in the swamps. Devils that look very familiar from the UNIT files... The businessman requires medical aid so UNIT have decided to send him a doctor. Unfortunately, when Harry and Naomi arrive on site they find a different Doctor has got there ahead of them... And that's just the start of their troubles. 13.2 Worlds Beyond by Robert Khan and Tom Salinsky (2 parts) The Doctor, Harry and Naomi have arrived on a luxury resort world where custom-made holidays are provided for every visitor. Their minds are scanned and their ideal getaway is planned. Naomi gets an activity break by the sea, Harry explores a crumbling ruin and the Doctor ends up playing chess with Alan Turing. All seems idyllic... but every paradise must have a snake... mustn't it? **Please note: the collector’s edition CD box set is strictly limited to 1,500 copies**

Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith was released in 2005 and tonight, The Doctor Who Show team examines it in what must rate as one of the coldest of cold takes ever committed to a digital recording.

What are our memories of the movie on release? What are our thoughts on it now, after a 2024 re-watch?

If you’ve got an hour to spare, sit back, relax, and join us in an ALTERNATE GALAXIES episode that travels to a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away to try and review the film, once and for all, with no contemporary distractions.

By the way, we reviewed Star Wars Episode II – Attack of the Clones in March and Star Wars Episode I – The Phantom Menace in February, if you haven't heard our takes on the two earlier installments in the prequel trilogy.

The hype train has left the station for Doctor Who as Entertainment Weekly, SFX, Attitude, and other pulp-based data products celebrate the impending Full-On Ncuti Gatwa Era along with the BBC and Disney+ releasing promo illustrations, and most importantly of all the release of Movellan action dollies, which caused spontaneous disco-infused celebrations across the United Kingdom. There’s also the quite suspicious timing of a restored Let It Be hitting Disney+ two days before the two-part premiere of Doctor Who, and most exciting of all, Episode Four of our Classic Series Commentary for “Terror of the Autons”!

In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast.....

Introducing the 2nd Doctor

This time Phil and Scott look at how Patrick Troughton was introduced to the world in 1966 with episode one of The Power of The Daleks.

With a new take on the Doctor, how effective was this episode in introducing a new actor to the role and what was the impact this had on the show? Along the way both Phil and Scott take conversational diversions to the BBC Shop, the Children's Film Foundation and Screen Test.

You can find us on X and Facebook, you can subscribe to our show on Apple Podcasts/iTunes, Spotify, Amazon Podcasts, Google Podcasts plus many other podcatchers and don't forget to subscribe to our Youtube Channel.
