Latest Podcast Episodes

Trapped in a futuristic dystopia run by crazed B-grade reality television stars, Brendan, Nathan and Todd attempt to take their mind off things by watching the remarkably vengeance-free Vengeance of Varos.

Buy the story!

Vengeance of Varos was originally released very early on: in 2001 in the UK, in 2002 in Australia, and in 2003 in the US. Mercifully, a special edition of the story was released in 2012. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Notes and links

Todd draws a deft comparison between this story and Gogglebox, a television programme on Channel 4 in which we get to watch various households watching various other television programmes. There's an Australian version as well.

In Australia, this season of 45-minute episodes was broadcast in a 25-minute timeslot, which led to some horrifically bad cliffhangers. The worst of these will be horribly evident next week.

Nigel Kneale, creator of Quatermass and conservative grandpa angry about the way the nurses keep moving his pills, was the creator of The Year of the Sex Olympics, which depicts a future where the elites pacify the population with a steady diet of violence, pornography and reality television.

Owen Teale plays Maldak in this story, a guard with a truly regrettable 80s hairstyle. He will go on to appear in the Torchwood episode Countrycide, and in a popular television programme called Game of Thrones, which Nathan has never even heard of.

Despite his performance in this story, Jason Connery will go on to have a distinguished acting career. He stars in Robin of Sherwood Season 3 as fake replacement Robin Hood after the original Robin leaves the show/is shot to death by arrows. He also plays Ian Fleming in Spymaker: The Secret Life of Ian Fleming (1990).

Regular listeners to the Doctor Who Show will know Doc Whom as a guest co-host (see #11, November 27, 2016) and may also hear him fortnightly on the Diddly Dum podcast. He also took part in one of the longest ever chats on our previous podcast, Who Wars (see #25, March 8, 2015).

Doc talks to Rob about three Doctor Who promotional offers from the 1970s relating to the Weetabix and Typhoo brands. How did these go down in the school yard? What was Doc's favourite? And what is the statute of limitations when it comes to offers of free Daleks?

As always, you can let us know your thoughts at: hello@theDWshow.net

Join John and Lawrence (@Feexby23 and @Loll73) as they proceed in an orderly and learned way through the other 23 most common surnames in the UK according to some website.

Also there is an episode commentary for the first episode of Series 3 of new Doctor Who.

If you hear persistent rumbling interference throughout this episode it's probably your ears. You should get them checked. Certainly nothing to do with the dwindling faculties of your podcasters. And I'm sure it won't happen again.

We are just so excited to be back.

Erika and Steven finish off Canada Day by finishing off “The Ice Warriors”. It had its ups and downs, but in the end they agree it’s a pretty good story.
