Latest Podcast Episodes

Let's just take it as read that there was no news this week of any consequence and move right to the main event. Director Rachel Talalay joins Steven and Warren this week for a commentary on "Heaven Sent", the penultimate episode of this series of Doctor Who and, let's be honest, one of the best episodes of the show ever to be produced, old or new. And next week she's back with Hell Bent with Steven and Chris! But why are you reading this? Listen and enjoy!

But there’s still never enough time.

This week we kinda liked the serial. Just kinda though, not a lot or anything. Kinda was kinda written by Christopher Bailey and aired in February of 1982.

We said goodbye to Tom last week, and so this week all four of us are here to discuss Pete’s first story, set on a delightfully bucolic planet in the Phylox series. Time to dress up like a cricketer and lock yourself in a small cupboard — it’s Castrovalva.

Buy the story!

Castrovalva was released on DVD in 2007. In the US, it was available on its own (Amazon US), but, again, in the UK and Australia, it was part of the New Beginnings box set, which also included The Keeper of Traken and Logopolis (Amazon UK).

Notes and links

Famously, Bidmead was inspired to write this story by M. C. Escher’s 1930 lithograph Castrovalva.

Arthur Rackham was an illustrator of children’s books in the early 20th century. Edith Nesbit, more of whom in a few weeks, wrote children’s books at about the same time, including The Railway Children and Five Children and It.

We first mentioned the Bechdel Test in Episode 27. Does this story feature a scene where two named women have a discussion that isn’t about a man?

We’ve mentioned it a couple of times before, and it’s just excellent, so we’ll mention it again: Blue Box Boy, in which Matthew Waterhouse tells the story of his childhood as a Doctor Who fan, his time on the show, and his subsequent life on the convention circuit. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK) (Amazon AU)

Like Todd, you can impress your friends with an encyclopedic knowledge of Doctor Who’s ratings throughout history by consulting this handy guide on the Doctor Who News website.

Famously, Bill Oddie from The Goodies invented string; while The Goons invented two pieces of string.

Richard compares Castrovalva to the short story The Circular Ruins, written by Argentine magic realist author Jorge Luis Borges and published in 1940.

Fans of Peter Davison’s superb Antony Ainley impression will enjoy his audiobook version of Castrovalva. (Audible US) (Audible UK) (Audible AU)

Doctor Who in 10 Seconds

Fans of lightning-fast summaries of the stories of the William Hartnell Era will enjoy Doctor Who in 10 Seconds, in which the lovely Brendan summarises Doctor Who stories with considerable wit, verve and rhythm. And you even get to see him dance in the outtakes. Enjoy the spectacle by subscribing on YouTube.

Bondfinger

Our tenth commentary track on the Bond films is now up: it’s The Man with the Golden Gun. Okay, it’s not the best Bond film (be quiet, Nathan), but it’s quite a Rogertaining episode of Bondfinger. Other commentaries are also available, starting with Dr. No and even including the inexplicable 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.

Erika and Steven hurl themselves headlong into season 8 of Doctor Who. Will Erika be as annoyed at the lack of Liz Shaw as she expected to be? Listen and find out!

Doctor Who in 10 Seconds

Fans of lightning-fast summaries of the stories of the William Hartnell Era will enjoy Doctor Who in 10 Seconds, in which the lovely Brendan summarises Doctor Who stories with considerable wit, verve and rhythm. And you even get to see him dance in the outtakes. Enjoy the spectacle by visiting the webpage or subscribing on YouTube.

Bondfinger

Our tenth commentary track on the Bond films is now up: it's The Man with the Golden Gun. Okay, it's not the best Bond film (be quiet, Nathan), but it's quite a Rogertaining episode of Bondfinger. Other commentaries are also available, starting with Dr. No and even including the inexplicable 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.

Review of S06E09 – Night Terrors. Visit handwavium.net for show notes & follow us @handwavium

We said goodbye to Tom last week, and so this week all four of us are here to discuss Pete's first story, set on a delightfully bucolic planet in the Phylox series. Time to dress up like a cricketer and lock yourself in a small cupboard -- it's Castrovalva.

Buy the story!

Castrovalva was released on DVD in 2007. In the US, it was available on its own (Amazon US), but, again, in the UK and Australia, it was part of the New Beginnings box set, which also included The Keeper of Traken and Logopolis (Amazon UK).

Notes and links

Famously, Bidmead was inspired to write this story by M. C. Escher's 1930 lithograph Castrovalva.

Arthur Rackham was an illustrator of children's books in the early 20th century. Edith Nesbit, more of whom in a few weeks, wrote children's books at about the same time, including The Railway Children and Five Children and It.

We first mentioned the Bechdel Test in Episode 27. Does this story feature a scene where two named women have a discussion that isn't about a man?

We've mentioned it a couple of times before, and it's just excellent, so we'll mention it again: Blue Box Boy, in which Matthew Waterhouse tells the story of his childhood as a Doctor Who fan, his time on the show, and his subsequent life on the convention circuit. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK) (Amazon AU)

Like Todd, you can impress your friends with an encyclopedic knowledge of Doctor Who's ratings throughout history by consulting this handy guide on the Doctor Who News website.

Famously, Bill Oddie from The Goodies invented string; while The Goons invented two pieces of string.

Richard compares Castrovalva to the short story The Circular Ruins, written by Argentine magic realist author Jorge Luis Borges and published in 1940.

Fans of Peter Davison's superb Antony Ainley impression will enjoy his audiobook version of Castrovalva. (Audible US) (Audible UK) (Audible AU)

In the 11th episode I talk about the Day of the Daleks story from 1972 and the many printed books and collectibles that came from that. It’s amazing that one story could produce so many books in so many languages.  The most outrageous offer comes in at $1860.47!  “The Script Doctor” by Andrew Cartmel

Wir gonnen uns und euch eine kurze Verschnaufpause vom zehnten Doctor und nutzen die Zeit, ein wenig vor die Tur zu gehen. Genaugenommen nutzt Harald die Zeit, um sich ein wenig auf der FIlmborse in Oberhausen und auf der Roleplay Convention in Koln umzusehen. Neben seinen Erfahrungsberichten und Orangensaft hat er Interviews mit Sarah Louise Madison, Clare Higgins und Neil Fingleton mitgebracht.

Communicating via video link like the inhabitants of Bowie Base One, Ben and Mark discuss The Waters of Mars; a story Ben feels is one of the very best pieces of Doctor Who there is. But what is it that disappoints Mark? After that, as chosen by the listeners; The Seeds of Death, a story that in many ways predicted the current state of space travel in the 21st century. Also under discussion: The fall of Woolworths 8 years on, excellent Doctor Who directors, the benefits of a "by Russell T Davies" credit, and lots more!

This week David and Matt review the two part story 'Silence in the library' and 'Forest of the dead'. Surely a story featuring an invisible enemy, non linear timelines and separate realities will be the one to help David alter Matt's opinion on series four...

Doctor Who theme by Ron Grainer, arranged by Alexander Erben.
