Review - The Evil of The Daleks

In this podcast continuing Troughton Month, Phil, Paul and Scott provide their thoughts on the differing novelisations of The Evil of The Daleks, one written by John Peel and the other written by Frazer Hines.

But is this really the best Doctor Who story as was voted for during the shows 30th anniversary year, or is it a long winded story, bloated with too many characters that serve no purpose other than to be Dalek fodder? Listen to find out what they thought as they discuss the differences between the written and visual versions and will Paul wearing no trousers really help matters?

"Have we learned nothing from Torchwood?"

Mark is joined by Si Hart, host of The Library of Impossible Things, who submits his five choices for the tinsel tunnel. It's a wide-ranging discussion that often comes back to reminding us what it is to be a child watching Doctor Who.

Under discussion: "Dark" Doctor Who, dodgy tea towels, Tom Baker being all teeth and no curls, the weakest story in season 13, and much more.

Also: Who put Ncuti Gatwa in a hydraulic press? And what has Si got against Prentis Hancock? 

You can see the boxed set that Mark and Si are talking about here.

The squashed Ncuti Gatwa can be bought here.

On this episode Dan, Si, Hannah and Pete review the debut 'Smith and Sullivan' release from Big Finish's Worlds of Doctor Who range, starring Sadie Miller and Christopher Naylor, with John Leeson as K9, and 'introducing' Annette Badland as Aunt Lavinia.

The review contains some spoilers as plots are discussed.

The set is available now from Big Finish.

This week my new series re-watch reaches Doctor Who: Orphan 55, a low point for the Jodie Whitaker era but definitely not the lowest point of the new series.

"Have we learned nothing from Torchwood?"

Mark is joined by Si Hart, host of The Library of Impossible Things, who submits his five choices for the tinsel tunnel. It's a wide-ranging discussion that often comes back to reminding us what it is to be a child watching Doctor Who.

Under discussion: "Dark" Doctor Who, dodgy tea towels, Tom Baker being all teeth and no curls, the weakest story in season 13, and much more.

Also: Who put Ncuti Gatwa in a hydraulic press? And what has Si got against Prentis Hancock?

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

Review - The Evil of The Daleks

In this podcast continuing Troughton Month, Phil, Paul and Scott provide their thoughts on the differing novelisations of The Evil of The Daleks, one written by John Peel and the other written by Frazer Hines.

But is this really the best Doctor Who story as was voted for during the shows 30th anniversary year, or is it a long winded story, bloated with too many characters that serve no purpose other than to be Dalek fodder? Listen to find out what they thought as they discuss the differences between the written and visual versions and will Paul wearing no trousers really help matters?
