Latest Podcast Episodes

Arrrr! In this week’s show, we look at two fun romps in the Doctor Who Universe.

First, our views on the often maligned First Doctor story, The Space Museum. Find out where we land on the story.

Then, after much anticipation, we tackle the Big Finish audio, Doctor Who and the Pirates, featuring the Sixth Doctor and Evelyn Smythe. We’ll share our thoughts on this unique story.

Also, in news, some theater announcements for the Series 8 story Deep Breath, plus some guest announcements from two of the biggest U.S, Doctor Who conventions.

And, of course, your feedback.

Enjoy!

Desert Island Who podcast

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo

Having killed yet another guest host, the gentlemen escape to the streets of New York City, where they are rescued by a willing (and oddly familiar) cab driver.

Since Episode 115 was about “The Enemy of the World”, it seemed fitting to start a pattern, so we set our sights on “The End of the World”, featuring the Ninth Doctor and Rose.  Was it as good as a giant moisturizer?  Or did it leave us feeling dried out and flappy?  Listen in and find out!

Welcome to the first of our The Next Level Platform Specials. First up, Ant is joined by Matt, James and Casey to discuss the behemoth of the PC and it's place in gaming.

Over the course of this special, we delve into the reasons why we game on a PC. What game types work better on the PC? We look at the ins and outs of downloadable games: from Steam to Windows Live and back to independent releases. We touch on the cost of maintaining a PC rig, early access games (and their pricing) and much more.

What?! You thought we’d concluded our Re-Cutting mini-series? Well, to be honest, so did we! But we received a fantastic piece of feedback from our friend Martin Spallacey which we just couldn’t ignore! Thanks Martin for wrapping up the series so nicely.

And in any case, how could we resist the chance to play Leeson’s fantastic theme tune just one more time? Well, okay. Twice more. The beginning and the end. Yes.

Enjoy the show.

"Morgus! You stinking offal! Look at me!"

Yes, a day long anticipated by the Three Who Rule Has finally arrived as they were privileged to tackle the all-time classic The Caves of Androzani as a commentary. While they had long feared such a task would devolve into silent slack jawed amazement, they did their damnedest to inform and entertain to the standard being played out on screen. There's also morsels of news regarding cinema screenings and other such frippery, but c'mon! Caves! Yeah!

Hold on to your hearts this week, folks.  On our stage tonight...Loverboy!  That's right, Capt.

Jack this week.  Well...mostly.  In between the rabbit chasing.

The Space Museum

More weird timey-wimey stuff in Stephen King’s The Langoliers. Published as a short story in a collection called Four Past Midnight (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

The trippy Beatles film A Hard Day’s Night

Prime Minister of Rhodesia Ian Smith, famous for moonlighting as Ian Smith in Prisoner and Neighbours

The giant eyebrows of Gerry Anderson’s Supermarionation classics Stingray and Thunderbirds

Jeremy Bulloch as Boba Fett in The Empire Strikes Back, before George Lucas started digitally wrecking it

No German Expressionism (sigh), but here’s the architect Gaudí, who clearly inspired the Mechonoids in the building of the city.

A Mechonoid and a d20? Can you tell them apart?

The Time Meddler

Peter Butterworth’s storied career in the Carry On films

The strong female characters of Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dr Horrible, and some superhero films or something apparently. Watch them all!

Joachim Phoenix falls in love with Siri in Spike Jonze’s film Her, not to be confused with Alethea Charlton’s fabulous Hur.

First off, we apologize for the lateness of "July's" episode, but as it happens sometimes, real life got in our way. This episode we're happy to bring you one of two Who books penned by Mark Gatiss, The Roundheads. From the back cover:

'I tell you -- we will cut off this King's head. Aye, with the crown on it!'

It is December 1648. Although victorious over the Cavaliers in the Civil Wars, the Roundheads are struggling to retain power. Plans are afoot to spirit King Charles from his prison, and the Doctor and his companions become embroiled in the intrigue...

Ben finds himself press-ganged and on board a mysterious ship to Amsterdam. Polly is an unwitting accomplice in the plot to rescue the King, and the Doctor and Jamie find themselves arrested and imprisoned in the Tower of London under suspicion of conspiracy.

Can the Doctor and Jamie escape, managed to find Ben and Polly and still ensure that history remains on its proper course?

Of course, Mark Gatiss is well known for writing such televised episodes as "The Unquiet Dead", "Cold War", "The Crimson Horror", and (gulp!) "Victory of the Daleks". After Russell T. Davies, he's probably the author with the highest profile whose work we have read. Before The Roundheads, Gatiss wrote the Virgin New Adventure Nightshade. The Roundheads remains one of the very few (two, by our count) pure historical adventures published in the four main ranges of books.

Pull up a mug of ale and sit back and relax as we discuss The Roundheads!

Brendan, Richard and Nathan bring Season 2 to a triumphant close with The Space Museum, The Chase and The Time Meddler. And we like them all. No, really.

“I shall miss them. Yes, I shall miss them, silly old fusspots. Come along, my dear, it’s time we were off.”
