Latest Podcast Episodes

My 2005 series commentaries reach Doctor Who: Dalek, writer Rob Shearman’s one and only contribution to new Who. An episode that had one main aim, to make the Daleks scary again and it succeeded in spades.

Only a show about time travel could celebrate a 10th anniversary after it’s 50th. It’s been ten years since Rose delighted Dr Who fans (well most of them) and Graham Norton enraged them (well the ones that got his impromptu drop in). Andy and Derek look back at the return and all the golden moments that’s have happened since.

If your week felt empty fear not! We're back to make your Friday more bearable and today, as well as running through the news and giving you our review of Planet of the Dead, we have a cool giveaway too. Let's go!

[powerpress]

The News

First up in the news - Moffat answers a question in the latest Doctor Who Magazine regarding Peter Capaldi's appearance in The Fires of Pompeii. Interestingly they are going to look at this subject in an upcoming story for episode 9. Are some things better left to mystery? We think so.

Those clever peeps at Real SFX and Milk VFX have scooped a BAFTA for their work on Who. Nabbing the award for Best Visual, Special and Graphic Effects in 2015, what a proud moment for those guys.

A mysterious new monster has been snapped on-set during the filming for series 9 in a medieval village. Big, hulking and menacing, we're intrigued as to what new monster this is.

More on series 9 and David Schofield of Merlin and Pirates of the Caribbean fame has been cast to star in episodes five and six. Great news to consistently have great actors on Who.

Peter Davison has been speaking to Digital Spy about a possible Five(ish) Doctor's sequel. The good news is that he seems up for it, there are a few issues though. Firstly there's a Doctor missing (ahem Tom) and secondly there's the matter of payment for the cast. The first outing (which we're assuming was always viewed as a one off for the 50th anniversary) was fine to rope people in but to pull them in again for nowt? He goes on to say it also needs to be a good idea and story, better than the first.

Competition

To win Cameron K McKewan's awesome new book Unofficial Doctor Who: The Big Book of Lists simply follow us on Twitter and tweet us something like "I want this cool book now!" and use the hashtag #bigblueboxcomp. Good luck.

"Planet of the Dead" Review

Another Who story that separates the fans this week. As the first in a run of four specials leading up to Tennat's departure, does it kick things off with a bang or do we want to bury our heads in the sand?

Thank you for joining us for episode 39, we hope we've put things back to normality and your Friday isn't empty and soul-less. Remember to get tweeting to be in with a chance to win the book and next week we're reviewing Carnival of Monsters. Until next time - Allons-y!

This week, Brendan, Nathan and Todd are back to review the Cybermen's 1985 compilation album Attack of the Cybermen, in which the band revisit all their classic hits from the 1960s, including Another Planet (1966), Clever Clever Clever (1967), You Belong to Us (1967), Initiate Plan Three (1968) and perennial fan favourite It Has Been Agreed (1968). Not all of us appreciate the nostalgia.

Buy the story!

Attack of the Cybermen was released on DVD in 2009. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Notes and links

Doctor Who: The Complete History is a series of beautifully produced hardback books chronicling the entire history of the programme, from its first beginnings to the present day.

Brendan mentions an adorable photo of TV's Starbucks Dirk Benedict and Katee Sackoff drinking Starbucks at Starbucks. Katee Sackoff's current Twitter profile picture is equally adorable.

Brendan would just like to take this opportunity to plug the book Hating to Love: Re-evaluating the Worst 52 Doctor Who Stories of All Time, in which he tries to redeem, excuse or explain seven somewhat unloved Doctor Who stories. The book was edited edited by JR Southall, of Blue Box Podcast fame.

Brendan is on Twitter as @critiqaltheory, 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 tell everyone about that nylon allergy you've been trying to keep secret.

Doctor Who in 10 Seconds

Every week, we remind you about Brendan's brilliant video series Doctor Who in Ten Seconds, in which he summarises no less than 51 Doctor Who stories in no more than 10 seconds each. If you haven't checked it out yet, you really should. And make sure you subscribe to his YouTube channel, so that you are informed immediately when the Season 8 episode becomes available.

Bondfinger

Bondfinger is back for the new year with our final Rodgecast, a commentary on A View to a Kill.

A full range of Rodgecasts are also available, from Live and Let Die to Octopussy. Other Bonds are also available, of course. You can keep up with all the Bondfinger news on Twitter and Facebook.

MY HEAD IS ART

At Regeneration Who last month we were joined by friends Ben Taylor and Chris Otto. This time we did a miniature version of our bracket challenge, to pick the Worst Doctor Who villain ever… welll… then it evolved slightly into “Which villain do we never want to see again?”

For the purposes of condensing the selection into something reasonable, we decided to stick to recurring villains and leave out the one-hit wonder failures like the Abzorbaloff.

Here’s the first round picks. You can click through to see the full bracket if you’re really impatient or want to follow along.

Some spoilers included if you’re not caught up through the Matt Smith years, but we figure most of our fans have moved on by now…

Which loser will win?
