Latest Podcast Episodes

It is indeed the MOST WONDERFUL TIME... OF THE YEAR! That's right, the annual Gallifrey One Convention, the world's largest (and best) Doctor Who Convention is just around the corner, and MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast will be previewing the convention in full this week! It's the 30th edition of the con; it's John's 15th and my 13th (and the podcast's 9th!); and it looks to be another corker of a weekend!

We'll talk all about the great guests (Including CATHERINE TATE, PEARL MACKIE, JOHN BARROWMAN, COLIN BAKER, and many more!), the fantastic fan panels (including the 2 John will be on), and of course the many other amazing highlights to come (THIS or THAT, FAN VIDEO HAPPY HOUR, IN DEFENSE OF, the ACADEMIC TRACK, and so much else).

It's our annual deep dive into and through the schedule. We're super excited for Gally, and we hope to give listeners a taste of what's to come this year! Also, John finds out what game, featured in a panel at this year's Gally, that I've NEVER played, which stuns him while i promise to maybe, perhaps, possibly try to participate in one of the other great games. So, it's chock full of Wibbly-Wobbly Timey-Wimey Stuff!

We will also be doing 2 more previews of Gally: one with Joy Piedmont and Paul Booth, focused on the "Time Lord Timelines: An Academic Symposium", the Academic Track that they've put together (dropping Thursday); and one with our great friends Kim Rogers and Sage Young of HeadoverFeels.com for next week that'll discuss in detail THIS or THAT, FAN VIDEO HAPPY HOUR, the FanFic panel, the Doctor Who/Musicals crossover panel and more.

A shocking (O’ the Quawncing Grig) amount of news this week, including the inclusion of Tank Girl director Rachel Talalay as a Series Eight helmer for two episodes, Doctor Who returning to Lanzorate for the aforementioned Series Eight, A Doctor Who comics Humble Bundle, and more! By far the coolest news of the week, at least for production nerds such as ourselves, was the release by Restoration Team member Paul Vanezis of a behind the scenes video showing the process of cleaning up and transferring the recently discovered film print of Enemy of World. Sprockets! Gears! Troughton on a beach! And speaking of Troughton, this week’s commentary is the all-time classic Tomb of the Cybermen! Sit back, warm up a mug of your favourite beverage, and enjoy as Cyril Shaps and some other people battle the second-deadliest foe in the Whoniverse! We also announce the winner of our RFS Giveaway contest for a signed copy of Paul Cornell's "The Severed Streets"!

This is Bags of Action. The podcast devoted to action movies, both old and new, but all of them are awesome! In this episode Steve and Pete talk about the 2018 film Death Wish. This is a remake of the original 1970s Death Wish film starring Charles Bronson which spawned a whole franchise of 5 films that started in 1974 and wrapped up in 1994. How will this remake compare to the classic and will it spawn a franchise?

Summary:

Adam J Purcell, Andy Simpkins and Keith Dunn sit down, martial lawed, in front of the Babylon 5 third season episode, ‘Point of No Return’, and spout our usual nonsense!

The Nightwatch goes all power grabby, Zack has a side to choose and Earthforce is feeling torn. But enough of their problems, please sit down with us to enjoy Babylon 5: Point of No Return...

We have a great show this week as we talk through some interesting news items, we review a classic Tom Baker story plus reveal the details of our competition and how you can enter.

The News

Doctor Who has got two nominations at this year's Saturn Awards. The show itself is up for Best Youth-Oriented Television Show and Jenna Coleman is up for Best Supporting Actress in a Television Series. They are up against some stiff competition with other shows such as Game of Thrones, Supernatural and The Walking Dead but we have faith in fans of Who to make the right choice. The awards will be announced on June 25th.

A special tribute event will take place at the BFI Southbank on April 1st to appreciate the great work Verity Lambert did. The event, Verity Lambert: An Appreciation, will start at 6:10pm and boasts a couple of special gusts including Joanna Lumley and Lynda La Plante. The panel event, hosted by author of new Lambert biography Richard Marson, should be good and we'll hopefully see you there.

Two French indie video game artists, Alexis Foletto and Caroline Vic, are soon to put out a Doctor Who game entitled Doctor Who: A Brilliant Game based on the story The Day of the Doctor. It's got a wonderful old school 8-bit look and feel to it and this could be a little gem in the world of Doctor Who games, something that's been lacking of late. You can keep up to date with the game on their Facebook page.

"Robot" Review

We venture back to Tom Baker's very first episode as the Doctor in this often loved classic story. Action, humour and full of that classic Who charm, did it leave us falling in love with it all over again or like the troubled K1, leave us cold?

10th Anniversary Competition

After a few weeks of teasing you all we can now reveal the details of our competition to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Doctor Who's return in 2005. It also falls in line with our first anniversary too!

We have the following prizes up for grabs and one lucky winner will receive them all... 1. 11th Doctor New Touch Control Sonic Screwdriver 2. Tardis style mug 3. City of Death DVD starring Tom Baker 4. Big Blue Box Podcast T Shirt and Mug 5. New Lethbridge-Stewart novel The Forgotten Son 6. 4th Doctor Replica Scarf from Lovarzi 7. Dark Eyes 4 box set from Big Finish

As you can see, a great swag bag of Who goodies for the winner. In order to win ALL THE PRIZES however, all you have to do is jump onto Twitter, Facebook or both and tweet/post a small message about the competition and use the hashtag #bigblueboxcomp. Our aim is to reach a goal of 700 Twitter followers and/or 1000 Facebook likes (we don't expect to hit both targets, although that would be nice, so once the target has been reached for either one, all the prizes get thrown into the bag). The competition will start with prizes 1 through to 5 with the last two added on once we reach certain milestones which are...

1. 600 Twitter followers - we add on the 4th Doctor Replica scarf
2. 700 Twitter followers - we add on Dark Eyes 4, completing the package

Similar approach for Facebook...

1. 800 Facebook likes - we add on the 4th Doctor Replica scarf
2. 1000 Facebook likes - we add on Dark Eyes 4, completing the package

So as you can see, it's up to you guys to jump on both Twitter and Facebook and get the message out. Encourage as many follows/likes and retweets as you can. Once we get to that magic target, someone will grab the lot. A winner will be chosen completely at random and you can post as many tweets or status' as you like. We'll announce the winner on the Friday 27th March show.

It's been a cool show this week and talking through Robot was great fun. Remember to dive in and get Tweeting and Facebook posting to be in for a chance to win those awesome Who goodies. Have an awesome week and until next time - Allons-y!!!
