Latest Podcast Episodes

Matt was unable to attend The Whoseum for this week’s podcast but we had an able chap to make up the threesome in the person of Phil Cannon from the Who’s He? Podcast.

If you want to make sense of the meaning of the TARGET cover above, you’ll have to listen to the podcast where the new exhibits being presented to the Diddly Dum Whoseum include Airfix Doctor Who model kits, Hayden’s Palitoy Cyberman and the “Genesis of the Daleks” LP.

Along the way, we cover the reveal of new companion Pearl Mackie, Doc meets his childhood heroes (Bagpuss, Professor Yaffle and Major Clanger), we launch Feistywatch and reveal the link between 2000AD and Toy Story 1.

Hayden organised a St George’s Day football match for Cancer Research UK recently. Any donations would be gratefully received.

SHOWNOTES

(00:01:30) This week’s special guest at the Diddly Dum Whoseum is Phil Cannon of the Who’s He? Podcast.

(00:02:05) Phil is, of course, already canonical in the Diddly Dum universe as he chatted to Hayden during “Podcasters Assemble 2” on Diddly Dum Podcast 51.

(00:07:30) “Uncle” is a rich philanthropic elephant who lives in a huge fantastical castle populated by many other eccentric animals and people. He appears in a series of children’s novels first written in 1964 by J. P. Martin and illustrated by Quentin Blake.

(00:08:10) Hayden organised a St George’s Day football match for Cancer Research UK recently. Any donations would be gratefully received. Hayden’s the one in yellow, ladies.

(00:11:24) On 24 April 2016, Diddly Dumber Matt interviewed Bob Baker at the Fab Cafe in Manchester.

(00:16:37) Doc recently visited the Small Films exhibition at the V&A Museum of Childhood where he oohed and aahed over memories of Bagpuss, The Clangers, Ivor the Engine and Noggin the Nog.

(00:19:35) “Captain Kremmen” was a science fiction radio serial set in the early 21st Century. It was written and performed for Capital Radio by the DJ Kenny Everett and featured the eponymous vain and dimwitted spaceship captain. The LP which Doc converted into an MP3 was “”The Greatest Adventure Yet From Captain Kremmen” (1980).

(00:20:20) “The Adventures of Sir Prancelot” was a children’s animated television programme which followed the adventures of Sir Prancelot, an eccentric inventor-knight. It was first transmitted on BBC 1 on Thursday, 13 January 1972. The LP which Doc converted into an MP3 was “”The Adventures of Sir Prancelot” (1972).

(00:23:20) Visit our Youtube page to see The War Bungle in all his horrific glory.

(00:42:18) Choppers, the last of the chimps who were used to advertise PG Tips tea bags has sadly died.

(00:44:40) Phil has presented for exhibition in The Whoseum two Airfix Doctor Who model kits, “Welcome Aboard” and “Dalek Encounter”.

(01:01:54) This was the HO-OO scale “Jungle Outpost” set which Doc remembers.

(01:02:00) This was the HO-OO scale “Roman Fort” set which Doc remembers.

(01:06:45) The casing of The Golden Emperor Dalek from TV Century 21 comic strip “The Daleks” was presented for exhibition in The Whoseum by Doc in podcast #26.

(01:08:55) Gareth Kavanagh visited The Whoseum in Diddly Dum Podcast #32.

(01:13:15) Hayden has presented for exhibition in The Whoseum his Palitoy Cyberman.

(01:21:40) This was the HO-OO scale “Gun Emplacement” set which Doc remembers.

(01:32:45) The Trojan Warriors box set from the Britain’s Herald range of toy soldiers.

(01:34:00) “Meltdown Man” was a comic strip created by writer Alan Hebden and artist Massimo Belardinelli which ran in 2000 AD from prog 178 to prog 227 (50 episodes in total) in 1980. It told the tale of Nick Stone, a former S.A.S. officer apparently blasted into a possible future by a nuclear explosion. In this future, in a neat reversal of the classic Planet of the Apes scenario, sadistic humans oppress downtrodden genetically-altered animals (called ‘Yujees’) whom they keep as slaves.

(01:35:35) Doc has presented for exhibition in The Whoseum the “Genesis of the Daleks” soundtrack LP (1978).

Lastly, it’s the news we’ve all been waiting for, yes, the new companion is – Pearl Mackie.

Merch Corner

Order yours from Telos Publishing.

“The End of the World” Review

It’s not often you get whisked away in a space ship that’s capable of travelling in space and time and where does the Doctor take Rose for their first adventure… to witness the destruction of the Earth. Oh. As the second story in the new Doctor Who comeback, does this get us fired up or left in the shade?

Thank you as always for listening and contributing with your reviews. Next week we meet up with the 4th Doctor for The Robots of Death. Have a great week and until next time – Allons-y!

We are all over the map this week! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Liz as we discuss all sorts of interesting Doctor Who goodness.

First, we dump our "happy thing" segment and break our no-news rule because the announcement of a new companion is a Big Deal! We're excited about having a new face in the TARDIS, but the level of excitement varies wildly between Verities.

Next, we continue our run through classic season 1 with "The Edge of Destruction". It's a fascinating set piece that delves into the characters of our first TARDIS team in a spooky and often disturbing way. Chillingly delightful!

Finally, we touch on our first missing story, "Marco Polo". There are oodles of ways to consume this one, and we all did it differently. We compare various methods and talk about the story itself. Opinions vary on this one even more than they do on the new companion.

Oh, and in addition to all that, we're doing another Verity! GIVEAWAY! If you need some cool fan merch, Redbubble is the place for you, and we're giving away a $25 gift certificate. To enter, just head over to the Giveaway Post and leave a comment before Friday, May 6th! (NOTE: If you're one of our amazing, intelligent, attractive Patreon supporters, you're entered automatically!)

As for the comments section here, let us know what you think of Bill, "The Edge of Destruction", "Marco Polo", your favorite Doctor Who comedy podcasts, and whatever else we touched on. We're all ears!

In this weeks episode, Phil and Paul return once again to their series 2 retrospective with a review of that firm fan favourite Fear Her by Matthew Graham. Yes, it's reached that point that the pair of them have been dreading. But have either Paul or Phil changed their minds about this story or do they still detest this with every fibre of the existence and is the Olympic dream dead?

And in the news, Phil and Paul play catch up with items they have missed over the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately a few famous faces left us during that time but this is tempered with the announcement and trailer for the Doctors new companion!! And just how did this go down with fandom? And in Omega's Tat corner it's baking, drinking and watchmaking tat!
