The Oncoming Storm Ep 169: Head Games
The Oncoming StormWhew! Have any of you actually come back for episode 169? After last episode's drama, it's probably a good idea to sit back, relax, and talk about something a lot less likely to draw everyone into an argument. Sounds like the perfect time to discuss the nature of the 7th Doctor and the entirety of the New Adventures line! This week's episode of the Oncoming Storm sees Josh, Ashley, and Jeff discussing Head Games, by Steve Lyons. Is it a damning condemnation of the 7th Doctor, or a validation of doing what he must? And just what is that screaming redhead doing here? All of this will be examined, as well as the news and what Jeff thinks about the audio version of All Consuming Fire! The Oncoming Storm... This Time, there's no swearing. At least, not by us. This book does feature Ace, Benny, and Roz after all.

42 to Doomsday - Doc Whom Is Required!
42 To DoomsdayEpisode 52 - Doc Whom, one third of the Diddly Dum triumvirate, is our special guest in this episode and as the 11th (or is it 12th?) Doctor said before he carked it "It's a whopper!" In a wide ranging chat we talk about the state of Doctor Who podcasting scene, television accents, comparisons of the televisual landscape in the UK and Oz, Pot Black and Doc's undertaking of the 'great journey' where he is watching Doctor Who from the very start! All this plus our thoughts on #speechgate, the current 'fad' sweeping the U.S. Convention circuit where #Doctor Who actors are given key speeches from the show's history to recreate in front of a rabid fanboys and girls. More importantly, we finally answer the age old question, which Australian soap opera was adapted as a computer game for the humble Commodore 64?

Episode 174: No More Petes, Just Howard
Trust Your DoctorEverybody loves Howard, the new show from the BBC.
As it turns out, the best day to invade Earth is Christmas Day, 2006, when it just so happened the Doctor was totally out of commission. If the Sycorax had just showed up like 4 hours earlier they probably would have totally succeeded. It’s The Christmas Invasion, written by Russell T. Davies, and aired on December 25, 2005.
Show-notes:
10:06 Might as well link this again.
11:25 They’re actually called Roboforms and the Doctor says they behave like pilot fish.
12:40 Yeah, dogs can get hairballs. So wolves probably can too.
14:51 Apparently some people take shark cartilage as a supplement.
19:02 Whiplash from Iron Man 2. He’s not original to the movie obviously. He was created for comics.
22:42 I honestly don’t know if I believe this site or not, but according to it about 34% of people have A+ blood. That means A+ is the second most common blood type after O+. No idea about the royal family, but I did find out they’re Rh negative, which means they don’t have the Rh factor, whatever that is.
26:48 Yeah I am just making that up.
40:23 Controls emotions.
40:55 Immortal jellyfish, aka turritopsis dohrnii. This thing is creepy.
47:34 In regards to sexism in politics, the first episode of Revisionist History does a good job of summing it up. Here’s a Huffington Post article about it.
49:12 Song for 10. I think this is the version heard in this episode.
52:58 Thanks Radio Times.

You and Who Talking 029
The Doctor Who ShowWhat 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:
The Magic Dragon - Doctor Who and the Crusaders written and read by Stephen Hatcher

42 to Doomsday - Doc Whom Is Required!
42 To DoomsdayEpisode 52 - Doc Whom, one third of the Diddly Dum triumvirate, is our special guest in this episode and as the 11th (or is it 12th?) Doctor said before he carked it “It’s a whopper!” In a wide ranging chat we talk about the state of Doctor Who podcasting scene, television accents, comparisons of the televisual landscape in the UK and Oz, Pot Black and Doc’s undertaking of the ‘great journey’ where he is watching Doctor Who from the very start! All this plus our thoughts on #speechgate, the current 'fad' sweeping the U.S. Convention circuit where #Doctor Who actors are given key speeches from the show’s history to recreate in front of a rabid fanboys and girls. More importantly, we finally answer the age old question, which Australian soap opera was adapted as a computer game for the humble Commodore 64?

You and Who Talking 029
The Doctor Who ShowWhat 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.

Metebelis 2 #59 - Men of a Certain Age
Doctor Who: The Metebelis 2When Saturday comes, it's a new Doctor Who. But the trailers are worryingly monster-free. Even though the story seems to be set on Pluto (at that time young Ben's favourite planet), how could a story succeed with no monsters? And with that annoying robot dog too. It was with trepidation that, as the football scores faded away, that Ben turned to watch Doctor Who. This is a flashback Metebelis 2 podcast on The Sun Makers. The opening song is Status Quo's 1977 hit "Rockin' All Over The World" and closing music is from Dudley Simpson's score for The Sun Makers.
