Gulp!  We're nearly out of new Doctor Who to watch and debate over!  So sit back and listen with a big hot mug of steaming whatever and see what Paul and Phil thought of The Power of Three!  Does Phil actually enjoy an episode or does he still say "meh!"?  Will Paul ever shake off the "little Ern" tag?  Will their ratings systems collapse in on itself?  Besides that, Phil manages to insult Professor Brian Cox and Sir Alan "Amstrad" Sugar as well as bringing Fred Freiberger into the conversation for which he should be ashamed of himself!

And in the news this week, the sad news of Janet Fieldings battle with cancer, the power of Steven Moffat, some Big Finish releases and finally some gift news from the anti-matter universe!

Never let the British try to make a Western. This film genre is best done by Americans, where the West was won. "A Town Called Mercy" proves this rule. This week Cheryl and Daisy discuss the details of this fact while we review the third episode of Series 7. Also, a tiny bit of newsish like stuff and lots of feedback!

The Three Who Rule took almost as long to talk about "The Power of Three" this week as the (admittedly truncated) episode itself took to play out on UK television screens. So what did Steven, Warren and Chris think of the slow invasion of the world by an Ikea fever dream? Did they enjoy the emergence of a new generation of UNIT leadership or the strengthening of emotional bonds between the Doctor, the Ponds, and Pond Sr? Or did they think it was all a load of stapled-on Gallifreyan fairy tales sealed by a bit of wand-waving? You'll just have to listen to find out! Also, don't miss stats, more stats, arguments about the canonical nature of Bill Baggs videos, pedanting, prequeldanting, and more!

The Cube is a BAFTA Award–winning British game show which first aired on ITV on 22 August 2009. Presented by Phillip Schofield, it offers contestants the chance to win a top prize of £250,000[1] by completing challenges from within a 4m × 4m × 4m Perspex cube. The show is based on the idea that even straightforward tasks become extremely challenging when confined and put under pressure in front of a large live studio audience. Once inside contestants can feel both claustrophobic and disorientated. Using "state-of-the-art filming techniques"[2] the show aims to demonstrate the intense anxiety which contestants undergo as they progress through each task. Colin McFarlane provides the disembodied voice of The Cube, who explains the rules of the games. "The Power of Three"[3] is the fourth episode of the seventh series of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who that will air on BBC One and BBC One HD on 22 September 2012. It was written by Chris Chibnall and directed by Douglas Mackinnon. The story will feature Matt Smith as alien time traveller the Doctor and his companions, Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) and her husband Rory (Arthur Darvill). It will be Amy and Rory's penultimate episode. It will also feature UNIT[1] and will celebrate Amy and Rory's time with the Doctor by telling it from their point of view and examining his influence on their lives. Production The episode's title was originally reported as "Cubed",[4] but was later announced as "The Power of Three".[3] Chris Chibnall had previously written the Doctor Who episodes "42" (2007), "The Hungry Earth"/"Cold Blood" (2010), and the second episode of the series, "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship". He was also a major contributor to the spinoff series Torchwood.[5][6] "The Power of Three" is his second contribution to Doctor Who's seventh series, after "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship".[7] Chibnall described "The Power of Three" as "a lovely big Earth invasion story" but different than the ones done before, as it focused on Amy and Rory's time with the Doctor and the impact of him on their lives.[7] He stated it is told more from Amy and Rory's point of view than ever before, and is about celebrating them before they leave in the following episode.[7] Chibnall's brief from showrunner Steven Moffat was to "live with the Doctor — The Man Who Came to Dinner, Doctor Who style.[7] Chibnall was also inspired by the story of the MSC Napoli.[7] Smith put disgust into the Doctor's remark concerning Twitter in the episode, reflecting his real-life decision to stay off the social network.[8] "The Power of Three" was filmed by itself in the series' third production block.[9] Because of this schedule, it was the final episode Gillan and Darvill filmed as Amy and Rory.[10] Their last scene filmed together was getting into the TARDIS with the Doctor; when the doors closed Gillan, Darvill, and Smith hugged and started crying.[11][12] Some exterior scenes at Amy and Rory's house were re-shot in June and July 2012, with Darvill briefly returning for the June re-shoot.[4][13] References ^ a b c d e "Doctor Who Series 7 News Accumulator".

Contents 1 Format 2 Filming 3 Celebrity specials 4 Records 4.1 Defeated contestants 5 Top prize winner (£250,000 - Beat The Cube) 6 Games 7 Transmissions 8 Ratings 8.1 Series 1 8.2 Series 2 8.3 Series 3 8.4 Series 4 8.5 Series 5 9 International versions 10 Merchandise 11 References 12 External links Format All of the games take place from inside The Cube. Contestants are set a task to complete which can range from testing their agility to more simple procedures such as stopping a stopwatch after 10 seconds or building a tower of blocks. If they successfully complete the task, they will move up the money ladder and closer to the top prize. Each contestant is given nine lives. Each time a contestant fails a game, one life is lost, and the contestant must repeat the game. Any contestant who runs out of lives while trying to win a game loses all of the money he or she accumulated. Contestants may stop after any game and take the money they have won, but once a contestant decides to play, he or she cannot back out until after completing that game. Before each game, there is a short demonstration by "The Body", a faceless female character described as an expert in all the games. Her demonstrations allow the contestant to see how the game is played and formulate a strategy to succeed. Her face has not been seen; her outfit is a metal plate over her face, revealing just shoulder-length hair, and at one time, she lifted part of the mask, revealing her mouth and chin, to demonstrate Drift. GameValue 1 £1,000 2 £2,000 3 £10,000 4 £20,000 5 £50,000 6 £100,000 7 £250,000 The Cube offers each contestant two aids, each of which may be used only once. They may use a Simplify, which will make a certain game easier to complete. It remains in effect for all future attempts of the game until the contestant completes it. They also have the aid of a Trial Run, which is only available from the second game onwards. It gives the contestant a chance to attempt the game without any consequences. Even if the contestant completes the game, to advance to the next game, they must complete it again under the usual circumstances. However, if the contestant fails to complete the game, they will not be penalised for it. To assist contestants in making a decision on whether to play a game, the host can provide the player with statistics about the game they are facing, such as the average number of lives it takes for players to win the game, the percentage of people that completed the game on their first try, or whether one group of people was better at the game than another. With the exception of four episodes (two of which are Celebrity Specials), each episode generally features two contestants. Filming Objective Productions first approached Channel 4 in 2008 with the format. It was made into a non-televised pilot by the channel,[3] and was hosted by Justin Lee Collins. Channel 4 eventually decided not to commission the show because it would have been too expensive.[4] In February 2009, ITV purchased the rights to the show and filming began during April 2009 at Wembley's Fountain Studios. The Cube is one of the first shows to use the game freeze filming technique on a frequent basis, such as when a contestant jumps. Using specially designed cameras, it allows the viewer to see one side of the Cube before the action is frozen, spun to another face of the Cube and then resumed. Slow-motion shots are again common to show action replays of the task a contestant just completed, or the critical moment of a game, to heighten the excitement of whether the contestant will succeed or fail. The show makes extensive use of CGI to project images onto the walls and ceiling of the Cube, while a screen on the floor is also capable of showing images. These film techniques make the seemingly simple tasks that are put before the contestants seem much more exciting than they would normally be. The 5th and 6th series of The Cube were filmed from 26 January 2012. On 30 January, long-distance runner, Mo Farah took part in filming an Olympian special - which aired on Saturday 14 July. He became the first £250,000 jackpot winner with six lives remaining.[5] Filming is known to be taking place as Schofield has annnouced it on Twitter. Additionally, filming of series 5 was announced on This Morning on 6 February 2012. Celebrity specials Celebrity specials of The Cube so far feature two contestants in each episode, except for two specials. Celebrity contestants that are defeated by The Cube are given £1,000 for their charities. Dame Kelly Holmes played The Cube but only took £1,000 for DKH Legacy Trust. Jenni Falconer won £20,000 for Breast Cancer BC2000. Joe Swash played for the Ben Kinsella Trust, he lost a game but took £1,000 away for them. Kelly Osbourne took £10,000 from the Cube for The Prince's Trust. Coronation Street star Jennie McAlpine lost against The Cube but took £1,000 for Mood Swing. Boxer Ricky Hatton played and won £20,000 for Genesis Breast Cancer. McFly star Tom Fletcher (the first celebrity that took a whole episode) won £100,000, splitting it between 2 charities, Comic Relief and BIRT . In a Coronation Street special of The Cube on Christmas Eve of 2011, Julie Hesmondhalgh took £20,000 for Maundy Relief and Ryan Thomas played for Christie's and won £10k for them. In an Olympians special Denise Lewis took away £10,000 from The Cube for her charity Breast Cancer Care and Sally Gunnell won £20,000 for Chestnut Tree Children's Hospital In the third edition of the Olympians Specials Fatima Whitbread took away £20,000 for 21st Century Youth and Dai Greene won £50,000 for his charity. Other celebrities who took in The Cube in January were Ashley Banjo and David Haye. These episodes will also air later this year on ITV1. Records In the first series, Jonny Lowery became the first person to reach the final game, having only three lives left. For his final game, he was given a more difficult version of Direction, the first game he faced in The Cube, losing three lives and using his Simplify. In the more difficult version, the path had been narrowed to just 20 centimetres. He decided to leave with £100,000. In the second series, Paul McDonald became the second person to reach the final game, having five lives left. For his final game, he was given a more difficult version of Structure, in which he had to build a construction of blocks within a time limit of twelve seconds, three seconds less than his original attempt. He also decided to leave with £100,000. In the third series, Tom Fletcher of boyband McFly managed to reach the final game, having four lives left. For his final game, he was given a more difficult version of Barrier, in which he had to cross three barriers instead of the original two. He also decided to leave with £100,000. The Fourth person to get to the final game was Luke who was given a more difficult version of Rebound. At the jackpot setting the target zone the ball had to land in was reduced by a significant amount but he also left with £100,000. Teresa was the first person to retire from the game due to injuring her foot in celebration after completing Dual Reflex. In the fifth series, Mo Farah, Olympic 5000 and 10000 metre runner, managed to not only reach the final game but also played the game, starting the final game with seven lives left (He had lost two lives in his first game Response.). For his final game, he guessed that Response would be his final game but was given a more difficult version of Barrier instead, in which he had to cross three barriers instead of the original two, which he had previously beaten on his first attempt. He won £250,000 only losing one more life in the final game.

Most versions of The Cube, even those that air outside the UK, are filmed at The Fountain Studios in London. Merchandise An electronic board game based on the series was made available in stores from November 2010.[13] As of June 2011, the game has been discontinued by most main retailers.[14] The game comes with an electronic handheld system featuring games such as Time Freeze and Stop Zone, as well as 9 balls- six 18mm blow moulded balls, 1 30mm EVA foam ball, 1 25mm hard ball and one 50mm hard ball. The balls are used for different reasons and the foam ball is used for most games with a ball. For Multisphere, all balls are used unless it is being played in a room with hard floors, in that case eight balls are used. Tubes are used for almost evry physical game for starting positions, voids, tubes, towers and columns. Other equipment in the board game are track pieces, discs, clips, z shaped platform pieces, cannons, blocks, a ball flipper, a beam and card pieces,and a 7x7x7 plastic cube for playing a series of sixty physical games. The cube is used for a conatiner and to connect onto the cube platform for the electronic games. A reducer also comes with the cube allowing it to reduce the size of it. The Simplify for games with the reducer generally remove it. Many well known and classic games are here as well as new games, everyday life games and interesting and complex games.

A free online game has also been created, allowing viewers to attempt three games for free. The games that are available are Stop Zone, Cylinder and Multisphere. The player starts with three lives and has three attempts to beat The Cube. Players also have the opportunity to save their high scores in the games and also use Facebook to challenge friends.[16] On October 5 a Cube game will be released on consoles for the first time.

“The Doc’s ALIVE! He’s in the in old west but he’s alive!” -Martin McFly.

This week we strap on our shiniest spurs, saddle up and go with the Doctor to the final frontier land (remembering to think 4th dimensionally of course because when we hit 88, those Indians won’t even be there). This week we are joined by an all-star cast of Matt, Gabe, Dave, and Scott for “A Town Called Mercy”.

The music this episode was “The Magnificent Seven (Theme)” by Elmer Bernstein, and “Blazing Saddles” by Frankie Laine.

For our Who Tube this week we are graced by the wonderful TardisGirlFrance and her vast collection of Doctor Who clips new and old in “Doctor Who – 45 Years in the Tardis.”

We're triple trouble, yo!

Jonathan, David and Ian may be confined to Skype Land, but at least they can talk about a holiday for the Doctor to the wild western town of Mercy, where the Gunslinger awaits. The question is, will David be quicker on the draw than Jonathan when it comes to the introductions? Press play to find out, as they review ‘A Town Called Mercy’…

Have an inrerview with Stuart Gee, Eckelsley from Monster of Peledon - oh, and the Space Pirates.

Again, thanks to Whooverville and the other 'podcasters'....

My first thoughts on the rather good Dr Who episode The Power of Three, in which we witness the oddest invasion yet by thousands of black cubes and we meet the Brig's daughter.

End theme this week is I Am Keftor by Shockeye One

Writer Chris Chibnall's second story for Series 7 - The Power of Three goes under the DWP microscope this episode. Ian andJames are in the review seats this episode and are joined later on by a mysterious Leeson in a time-eddy. Really.

Caleb, Sarah and Nat are back on earth for the year of the slow invasion…that’s new! The Doctor moves in with the Ponds as small black cubes appear all over the world. We discuss UNIT: The Next Generation, musical deadly cubes and the return of Brian!

Did the Ponds make the right decision? Were the Shakri a genuine threat? And was this episode better than Dinosaurs on a Spaceship?

Cube anyone?

Don't forget to keep an eye on the website for James' review of The Power of Three, coming soon!

And once you've heard what we have to say, let us know what you think in the comments, or by email, Twitter or Facebook.

As Doctor Who returns to TV with its most recent series, The Untempered Schism is looking back at the start of the last series and The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon. We get to deal with crazy time travel confusion, strange little girls, the Silence and Richard Nixon… not to mention the lack of cliffhanger resolutions. Too big to be contained in one episode and too confusing to be understood over the length of the season, but at least the location shooting looks fantastic!

It’s podKast time, Kasterborites, and we have a great show (we’re a “show” now) in store for you this week!

For the first half, Brian and James will chat about last week’s Doctor Who, A Town Called Mercy, and discuss the impact of the episode, plotting, characterization and all of the usual in-depth discussion and observations.

We’ve also got an interview with Ryan Hendrick, whose Doctor Who fan film Besieged is set to be released at the end of September. Built up from a much shorter film released in 2010, the movie is a Doctor Who/Alien crossover. If the trailer is anything to go by, this will certainly be worth watching!
