TDP 577: 10th Doctor Box Set Volume 1
Tin Dog PodcastReview of THIS EXCLUSIVE, LIMITED EDITION RELEASE IS ONLY AVAILABLE FROM THE BIG FINISH WEBSITE 1.1 Technophobia by Matt Fitton When the Doctor and Donna visit London's Technology Museum for a glimpse into the future, things don't go to plan. The most brilliant IT brain in the country can't use her computer. More worrying, the exhibits are attacking the visitors, while outside, people seem to be losing control of the technology that runs their lives. Is it all down to simple human stupidity, or is something more sinister going on? Beneath the streets, the Koggnossenti are waiting. For all of London to fall prey to technophobia... 1.2 Time Reaver by Jenny T Colgan Calibris. The spaceport planet where anything goes. Where anyone who doesn't want to be found can be lost, and where everything has its price. Where betentacled gangster Gully holds sway at the smugglers' tavern, Vagabond's Reach. The alien Vacintians are trying to impose some order on the chaos. Soon the Doctor and Donna discover why. An illegal weapon is loose on the streets. A weapon that destroys lives... Slowly and agonisingly. The Time Reaver. 1.3 Death and the Queen by James Goss Donna Noble has never been lucky in love. So when, one day, her Prince does come, she is thrilled to have the wedding of all weddings to look forward to. Though the Doctor isn't holding his breath for an invitation. And her future mother-in-law is certainly not amused. But on the big day itself, Donna finds her castle under siege from the darkest of forces, marching at the head of a skeleton army. When it looks like even the Doctor can't save the day, what will Queen Donna do to save her people from Death itself? Limited to just 5,000 copies and available exclusively from bigfinish.com, this lavish book-sized box set includes exclusive artwork, photography, articles, a one-hour documentary featuring interviews with the stars and production team - alongside a bonus documentary examining the worlds of Doctor Who at Big Finish.

Playing It Straight
Flight Through Entirety: A Doctor Who PodcastIt’s time to put down those bonsai pruners and catch the first helicopter to Antarctica, as we discuss the final story of Season 13, that florid, fecund, flexuous and frutescent classic, The Seeds of Doom.
Buy the story!
The Seeds of Doom was released on DVD in 2010 and 2011. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)
Notes and links
The Seeds of Doom came 20th out of 241 stories in Doctor Who Magazine’s The First Fifty Years Poll in 2013. You can see the full list of results here.
However, the story isn’t universally loved. In About Time Volume 4, Tat Wood names it as his least favourite story of Tom’s first six seasons (Amazon US) (Amazon UK). You can read Elizabeth Sandifer’s fairly negative review of the story here.
Fans of people slowly being taken over by plants will enjoy the film Creepshow (1982), in which Stephen King himself is taken over by some lush, aggressive vegetation.
The Italian Job (1969) stars Michael Caine, Noël Coward and Benny Hill. It looks amazing. And our very own Harrison Chase, Tony Beckley, shows his extensive range by playing a character called Camp Freddie.
Here’s our usual list of films plundered in the making of this story: Ice Station Zebra (1968), an espionage thriller set on a base in the Arctic, Day of the Triffids (1963), in which giant plant monsters take over the world after most of humanity is blinded, and the brilliant Howard Hawks film The Thing from Another World (1963) in which a plant Frankenstein’s monster thing attacks yet another base in the Arctic.
And of course, there’s the Season 4 Avengers episode, The Man-Eater of Surrey Green (1965). More of which later.
Nathan explains his personal experience with the idea of Guns and Frocks in Doctor Who in the only post on his blog of the same name.
Can we possibly have failed to mention H P Lovecraft before? The Hinchcliffe Era is massively indebted to his SF/Horror stories, in which the universe is haunted by ancient evil gods from beyond the dawn of time. You can get a free ebook of all of his fiction here.
Picks of the week
Brendan
Brendan’s pick is Refuge (2015), a short film set on an alien planet, shot entirely in moonlight. You can watch it here, but be careful: it’s a bit scary.
Nathan
The Doctor Who Magazine app for the iPad (and iPhone). Issue 443 of the magazine contains an interview with The Seeds of Doom author Robert Banks Stewart.
Richard
Gods and Monsters (1998), which we mentioned last week: a film about James Whale, who directed Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935). It stars Brendan Fraser, Ian McKellen and our very own Pamela Salem.
Next week
Next week, we’re taking a break from our usual schedule to watch one of the inspirations for The Seeds of Doom: the Avengers episode The Man-Eater of Surrey Green. Your homework is to watch it in preparation. You can find the entire episode here. (Actually, you can’t: it was taken down due to a copyright claim.)

Doctor Who - The High Council Episode 50, Ambassadors of Death Part 6
Doctor Who - The High CouncilEPISODE 50!!!!
It's on collision course! Take EVASIVE ACTION!!! The punchiness comes in as this High Council team drives towards talking over Episode 6. Is it possible that it hasn't been Toby Hadoke this whole time, and it is really David Agnew? Andrew's presence in Greenland caused some issues with this episode, but Gangsters returns to help us through these tough parts. Is this episode also put together from the archives? Is it possible to have CSO in B&W? I don't think so. Please enjoy this episode that ended up wrought with serious recording problems and play close attention to Carrington's mustache till next week.

More worrying, the exhibits are attacking the visitors, while outside, people seem to be losing control of the technology that runs their lives. Is it all down to simple human stupidity, or is something more sinister going on? Beneath the streets, the Koggnossenti are waiting. For all of London to fall prey to technophobia... 1.2 Time Reaver by Jenny T Colgan Calibris. The spaceport planet where anything goes. Where anyone who doesn't want to be found can be lost, and where everything has its price. Where betentacled gangster Gully holds sway at the smugglers' tavern, Vagabond's Reach. The alien Vacintians are trying to impose some order on the chaos. Soon the Doctor and Donna discover why. An illegal weapon is loose on the streets. A weapon that destroys lives... Slowly and agonisingly. The Time Reaver. 1.3 Death and the Queen by James Goss Donna Noble has never been lucky in love. So when, one day, her Prince does come, she is thrilled to have the wedding of all weddings to look forward to. Though the Doctor isn't holding his breath for an invitation. And her future mother-in-law is certainly not amused. But on the big day itself, Donna finds her castle under siege from the darkest of forces, marching at the head of a skeleton army. When it looks like even the Doctor can't save the day, what will Queen Donna do to save her people from Death itself? Limited to just 5,000 copies and available exclusively from bigfinish.com, this lavish book-sized box set includes exclusive artwork, photography, articles, a one-hour documentary featuring interviews with the stars and production team - alongside a bonus documentary examining the worlds of Doctor Who at Big Finish.

Episode 42 Playing It Straight
Flight Through Entirety: A Doctor Who PodcastIt's time to put down those bonsai pruners and catch the first helicopter to Antarctica, as we discuss the final story of Season 13, that florid, fecund, flexuous and frutescent classic, The Seeds of Doom.
Buy the story!
The Seeds of Doom was released on DVD in 2010 and 2011. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)
Notes and links
The Seeds of Doom came 20th out of 241 stories in Doctor Who Magazine's The First Fifty Years Poll in 2013. You can see the full list of results here.
However, the story isn't universally loved. In About Time Volume 4, Tat Wood names it as his least favourite story of Tom's first six seasons (Amazon US) (Amazon UK). You can read Philip Sandifer's fairly negative review of the story here.
Fans of people slowly being taken over by plants will enjoy the film Creepshow (1982), in which Stephen King himself is taken over by some lush, aggressive vegetation.
The Italian Job (1969) stars Michael Caine, Noel Coward and Benny Hill. It looks amazing. And our very own Harrison Chase, Tony Beckley, shows his extensive range by playing a character called Camp Freddie.
Here's our usual list of films plundered in the making of this story: Ice Station Zebra (1968), an espionage thriller set on a base in the Arctic, Day of the Triffids (1963), in which giant plant monsters take over the world after most of humanity is blinded, and the brilliant Howard Hawks film The Thing from Another World (1963) in which a plant Frankenstein's monster thing attacks yet another base in the Arctic.
And of course, there's the Season 4 Avengers episode, The Man-Eater of Surrey Green (1965). More of which later.
Nathan explains his personal experience with the idea of Guns and Frocks in Doctor Who in the only post on his blog of the same name.
Can we possibly have failed to mention H P Lovecraft before? The Hinchcliffe Era is massively indebted to his SF/Horror stories, in which the universe is haunted by ancient evil gods from beyond the dawn of time. You can get a free ebook of all of his fiction here.
Picks of the week
Brendan
Brendan's pick is Refuge (2015), a short film set on an alien planet, shot entirely in moonlight. You can watch it here, but be careful: it's a bit scary.

Fan Fiction Reading 1: Lava Pirates
Trust Your DoctorNot to be confused with Space Pirates.
Hi there. Kiyan here for once (these things are usually written by Dylan). So, like you may already be aware of, the Fourth Doctor retrospective we had planned with Krynoid Podcast has been delayed. I’m almost never sick, so of course I’d come down with fever, cough, and a bunch of other trash a day or so before we planned to record. So the retrospective is still happening, but later. We’re still working out when. Hopefully next week. But in the meantime, since we had nothing else to put out this week, we decided to do… this. In what I guess is our first ever fan fiction reading, Dylan sits down to read through a weird little story I wrote in November 2014 called Lava Pirates. It features several of my favorite First and Second Doctor villains as “lava pirates” on their quest to find the legendary Dalekenium Orb. Hope you enjoy it.

It features several of my favorite First and Second Doctor villains as “lava pirates” on their quest to find the legendary Dalekenium Orb. Hope you enjoy it.

Gallifrey's Most Wanted PodcastWow. You know it's a good finale when you want to say something clever like, "The Master and Missy and Nardole, oh my!" but Moffat crafts such a complex and beautiful goodbye to some of Doctor Who's best characters that "clever" feels trite.
