DC Comics, under the writing guidance of Geoff Johns, cracked open the door to allow a glimpse of the next chapter in DC’s long history on May 25, 2016. Join hosts Kyle Jones and Clarence Brown as we ask and attempt to answer our questions about what DC REBIRTH is all

What you are about to hear is the story of a connection, a connection that was made between a television series and a viewer's life.

The You and Who books are the story of that connection, as told by the people who watch the programmes that make us come alive. Chiefly, of course, Doctor Who.

This podcast will relate some of the stories from those books... and beyond.

In this episode:

A Desperate Venture (Or, How Those Sensorites Made Me High) by Anthony Townsend

With an introduction featuring Rob Irwin talking to JR Southall.

The You and Who books, from which all royalties are paid to charity, are available in print and for Kindle, from watchingbooks.weebly.com

This week Bondfinger meets Flight Through Entirety, as we attempt our first ever Doctor Who-related commentary podcast. DVD remotes on standby: it’s the lump of coal in all of our 1981 Christmas stockings — the first and worst Doctor Who spinoff: K9 and Company: A Girl’s Best Friend. (Other Doctor Who spinoffs are also available.)

Buy the story

K9 and Company was released on DVD in 2008 as part of the K9 Tales box set, which also includes the execrable Season 15 story The Invisible Enemy. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK).

Notes and links

As usual in the 70s, we reference a whole bunch of Avengers episodes, including Murdersville, The Winged Avenger and The Midas Touch from The New Avengers.

Colin Jeavons appears in some vastly better television programmes: he’s Stamper in the original BBC House of Cards, directed by Graff Vynda-K Paul Seed, and Max Quordlepleen in the somewhat terrible television adaptation of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

Fans of children’s television who don’t hate themselves will enjoy these seminal programmes: Robin Redbreast, Children of the Stones, Sky and the Chocky trilogy, based on Chocky by John Wyndham.

The K9 and Company Annual is included in the K9 Tales box set, so if you’re as sad as we are, you probably own it already.

Acorn Antiques was a hilarious series of sketches on Victoria Wood as Seen on TV, which parodies the conventions of badly made television programmes. You can see it all here, and you really, really must.

Hilary Briss, played by Doctor Who’s very own Mark Gatiss, secretly sold special stuff to the inhabitants of Royston Vasey in the horrific and superlatively clever League of Gentlemen TV series.

The Travelling Salesman problem is a giant thing in computer science, which posits that it’s really, really hard to work out the shortest route to take to cover a whole bunch of known locations. So no wonder K9 was so incredibly unhelpful.

Here’s the Literal Video version of Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse of the Heart. If you click one link in these shownotes, it must, must, must be this one.

And, of course, the best Doctor Who spinoff ever (apart from Wizards vs Aliens which totally doesn’t count), is The Sarah Jane Adventures. Take that, Terence Dudley.

Follow us!

Brendan is on Twitter as @brandybongos, Nathan is @nathanbottomley, Todd is @toddbeilby, and Richard is @RichardLStone. The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam. You can follow the podcast on Twitter at @FTEpodcast.

We’re also on Facebook, and you can check out our website at flightthroughentirety.com. Please consider rating or reviewing us on iTunes, or we’ll pick up this stupid pilot and create an entire series. Don’t think we won’t.

Doctor Who in 10 Seconds

Doctor Who in 10 Seconds is Brendan’s vanity video project, which is basically a lot better than this podcast. Fans of things that are just superb will enjoy Brendan summarising every Doctor Who story in less than 10 seconds.

To see Brendan’s summaries of the first three seasons, check out the playlist on YouTube.

Bondfinger

And it’s just up: our commentary podcast on the Rodgetastic Bond classic The Man with the Golden Gun. It’s our best episode yet, but other commentaries are also available, starting with Dr. No and even including the ludicrous 1967 film Casino Royale. You can find these commentaries on our website, and you can keep up with all the Bondfinger news on Twitter and Facebook.

A visit back to The Sarah Jane Adventures this week and a reuniting of Sarah with the Doctor (the Eleventh, this time), UNIT, and the first face-to-face meeting she’s ever had with a previous companion of the Doctor; Jo Jones, nee Grant.

We've been waiting for this for some time, and not for the reasons you might think. This third season classic story, the first set in the United States, and the first of only a few attempts at a "western" theme, has had its share of maligns and put-downs. Well frankly, we think those yella-bellied nay-sayin' so-and-sos are just doin' it wrong. Viewed in the right light, it's a perfectly enjoyable (and at times, outright comedic) romp, and as we discuss, might even be self-aware -- which makes it all the better. This week, we shake the dust from our boots and saddle up to "The Gunslingers", that fateful moment where Doctor Who took on the Tombstone story. Complete with quick draws, jail breaks, and possibly the worst earworm of a theme song ever composed, we spend a little time panning the mud, and find comedy gold. News Links: DW Magazine Releases Issue 500...with Paul Cornell Stickers! From That Issue: Moffat Speaks Up on Diversity John Noble Would Love to Appear on Doctor Who

In Episode 49: Eaters Of Mars, L.A. comedian Joseph Scrimshaw and Twin Cities actor Ariel Leaf join the guys for a special podcast recorded at Convergence. The gang continues their farewell salute to Peter Capaldi with a discussion of the final four episodes of Series 10: Empress Of Mars, Eaters of Light, World Enough And Time, and The Doctor Falls. They also debate the effectiveness of meat cubes, blame the Justice Society Of America for spoiling The Eaters Of Light, reach for their pain buttons, and return to our new favorite improv structure: The Greatest Show In The Galaxy!

... in which the downstairs neighbor of our fearless podcaster watched all available episodes of the first four Doctors, in order, and lived to tell the tale. JB's special guest is Benjamin Dionysus from the Accidental Shakespeare Company.

Blusterin' Bug-eyed Monsters! This time, we're joined by author Graeme Burk, (host of Reality Bomb) to discuss his work curating, editing, and annotating the new book, Head Of Drama: The Memoir Of Sydney Newman. You might know him as the "idea guy" (pop pop pop!) who came up with the idea for a little show we like to call... "Adam Adamant Lives!", but - in fact - he's best known as the creator of Doctor Who. (That interview starts, oh, 20 minutes in. We get pretty punchy up to that point.) Also, Stephen, Andy, and Clay are joined by Cooper once again for the news segment, where we discuss conventions, the loss of a dear friend of the Doctor Who family, and Clay's actual excitement over the new Big Finish release "Tales From New Earth."

Hey Who fans. Thank you for jumping aboard the TARDIS for Episode 155. Great bit of news for a certain previous show runner, Adam and I are at polar opposites on this piece of merch and then onto our review for The Enemy of the World.

Previous show runner Russell T Davies is awarded a Life Time Achievement Award and you could grab a signed script by Peter Capaldi (amongst other things) if you're quick.

Five years without a go-round with your favourite sinister salt shakers is one heck of a dry spell. Shoehorning them into the middle of a temporal causality loop story rife with guerilla future freedom fighters, gorilla thuggees, and a Time Lord who’s been tipping into the wine cellar before attempting a mad dash on a fat-wheeled trike just pushes the whole thing into lunacy. (Sweet, delicious lunacy.) How could you possibly improve upon this sack full of angry cats? Why, […]

In Episode 30: Out House On A Pile Of Dynamite, the guys consider which new series Doctor would pair best with classic series Brigadier, venture into the underground for a discussion of the 1968 Second Doctor adventure The Web of Fear, present a recently discovered lost round from Get Off My World Episode 25 featuring special guest Matt Kessen, and herd all the First and Second Doctor companions into the Death Zone to decide once and for all who is the greatest companion of the 1960s!
