Welcome aboard the Big Blue Box for episode 31. Some good and not-so-good news to kick off with but then we're straight into our review of The Doctor's Wife.

The News

Unfortunately production designer Barry Newbury has passed away aged 88. Barry was involved with the show since An Unearthly Show all the way through to 1984's The Awakening. It's sad that another Who veteran has left us but we celebrate his legacy and the awesome work he did on the show.

Samuel Anderson aka Danny Pink has picked up the award for Best Male Performance in TV given at the 2015 Screen Nation Film and Television Awards. He received the award for his work on Doctor Who and Trollied. Nice work Mr Anderson.

Bad news for fans eagerly awaiting the release of The Underwater Menace. Originally due for release in 2014 but pushed back to sometime this year, we've now learnt that it's removed from this year's schedule all together. As we haven't had a classic release in just over a year now (since The Web of Fear) it's disheartening to learn that we could go another year with no release. There is a fan petition here if you want to get your name down and show some support for it's release.

"The Doctor's Wife" Review

Modern Who time and after our commentary episode of The Eleventh Hour we stick with Matt Smith and look at an episode often referred to as overrated and weak. Did we review this one with great gusto or get squashed like an Ood standing in the wrong spot?

Thank you all as usual for getting in touch with your thoughts. Next week is Tom Baker's Robot so remember to give us your opinions. Have an awesome week and until then - Allons-y!!!

So here we are. The grand finale of the three book run of New Adventures seemingly dedicated to pain and suffering! Which is itself really the second part of an actual trilogy! That's right, this week sees The Oncoming Storm tackle Warlock by Andrew Cartmel, in episode 143. After months of reading about the TARDIS crew being punished, tortured, and killed, can Josh, Ashley, and Rachel be able to make it through a book about animal experimentation and personal loss? With the Doctor on the trail of a new drug named Warlock, will your hosts need to resort to drugs themselves to make it through the trippy experiences they're reading about? And most interesting of all, will they realize just how good a book about these things can be, even if the Doctor is hardly in it? The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got audio problems! Yeah, Mea Culpa, but hopefully we've figured it out for next time. If it's a problem for you, just take some mind altering drugs. It'll help you fit right in with this episode.

In which we celebrate 50 episodes of Doctor Whooch by drinking with a bunch of our friends!

It's a two-part celebration of almost two years worth of drinking. Clearly we've been doing something right. Anyway, in the first part of our 50th episode, we have Katie, Jess and Lou from Boozy Boob Tube, along with Cody F. Schmidt and James Leask on the show to talk about the 50th Anniversary Special, "The Day of the Doctor". Along the way, we talk about expensive man hair cuts, the shaming of the elderly, and a whole bunch of other things jumbled amidst drunken laughter. It was a fun time.

Outro music is "Ordinary Day" by Great Big Sea

This week we focus on one companion--the winner of our Verity! companions poll! Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne, as we talk about Ace! Our personal feelings about Ace as a companion are mixed, but we all agree (mostly) on her importance as a companion. It's pretty easy to draw a line between Ace and Rose, and we do just that! We also chat a lot about Ace: as compared to other women on screen at the time, as a character to identify with (or not), and as a tuxedo-wearer.

What are your feelings about Ace? Do you love her attitude? Or does she put you off as a viewer? Or something in between? Let us know in the comments!

It's our first ever commentary show and what better way to kick things off than with a modern classic - The Eleventh Hour.

[powerpress]

We debated for a while on what episode to do for our first commentary and this wasn't actually our first choice (that one's coming very soon). We wanted to do a story from newer Who (you'd all probably get quite bored listening to us comment on a 6-part classic story) and this episode with it's hour long run time seemed perfect. What better episode to pick from the Matt Smith era than his first?

So get your blu ray, dvd or digital file ready, get a cup of tea or coffee and enjoy this great episode with our usual banter to go with it.

Thanks for stopping by for this commentary show. Let us know if you enjoyed this and we'll continue to do them. Also let us know your thoughts on The Eleventh Hour.

Until next time - Allons-y!!!
