Latest Podcast Episodes

In a break from our planned schedule Adam and Not Andi (or Steve as he prefers to be known) take a trip back to the 90s and look at Virgin’s The New Adventure books. They talk about their influence on current Who, favourite authors, misconceptions, violence, swearing and what exactly is the best way to get this unfortunate taste out of their mouths.

On this week’s episode of Traveling the Vortex we have a special treat for our listeners. This week we have an interview with Simon Fisher-Becker who plays Dorium Maldovar in the stories The Pandorica Opens, A Good Man Goes to War and then again in The Wedding of River Song.

Also, this is our second Companion Archive in which we take a look at two Leela stories, The Face of Evil and Robots of Death.

Plus our reaction to the Series 7 trailer, the latest news, and of course, your feedback.

Enjoy!

Whovians of Wichita

We’re back! Lots of discussion of the newly announced companion, the latest trailer release, a Classic Series Review of “Space Museum” and a picture of our Dalek wedding toppers!

The First Doctor amusing himself with a new toy

Episode 1 of 1

"You must not let the bell chime!"

July 1859, and all of London has descended upon the Palace of Westminster to see the installation of the Great Bell, the largest bell in the world. At last, the houses of parliament will be complete, when the infamous bell rings in its new clock tower for the first time. It is a glorious time in the British Empire, for Victorian London and for History itself. Well, according to the Doctor anyway. The Computer, is just bored.

But while the Doctor hobnobs with Sir Benjamin "Big Ben" Hall, First Commissioner of Works, the Computer discovers a mysterious gypsy woman with an odd ability to tell the future. Who warns that the Great Bell must never be struck, lest it bring about an apocalypse for the entire world!

Is the gypsy woman to be believed? Will the world end on the chimes of midnight? With the mysterious behaviour of the bell's designer, and the disappearance of the master of the foundry where the bell was forged, the Doctor finds his visit into history soon becomes a frantic race against chime...

Welcome, welcome, welcome, to the first of our new series of Minisodes! These will be shorter episodes that we'll throw in randomly between the longer, monthly episodes that will contain various interviews, reviews, and other junk. 

What we have for you this time, however, is certainly not junk. Our first Minisode is also the first episode in a project to trace Doctor Who fandom in Canada over the years. The project is Julian's baby, and in this episode he interviews Catharine Cardiff about her experience as a Doctor Who fan in Victoria, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, about being a fan on the West Coast of Canada in the 1980s.

The Three Who Rule enjoy another slow news week with excess meanderings, needlessly extending the length of this week's instalment... however a slow news week coupled with a Classic Series commentary is a good thing. The lads turn their gaze to talking over the *cough* David Agnew *cough* masterpiece City of Death, heralded by Doctor Who fans as one of the best stories of our beloved show. Or at least as the highlight of Season 17. Ribald jokes and insightful analyses are paired like a meal with a fine French wine as we wander the streets of Paris.

Remember when we used to post on a sunday? Well we did.

After the highs of last weeks official convention, we hit the lows with The End Of Time Part 1 in the continuation of the 2009 Specials retrospective. Unfortunately this episode contains nothing but Paul and Phil voicing their disappointment and frustration at this very woeful episode of Doctor Who but do find the time to extol the virtues of having Bernard Cribbins to liven things up. They also go off topic and discuss how the Master has been portrayed over the years.

And in this weeks news, more series 7 production snippets, the bad smell that is David Yates and the Doctor Who movie and Daleks. Lots of Daleks. All this plus Paul takes over the show as Phil has been moonlighting rather a lot.

A brief lull in Inspector Spacetime has left us somewhat paddle-less in the creek of podcasting. We couldn’t bring ourselves to break from our tight weekly schedule, though, so we hunkered down and recorded a short episode for our faithful listeners. We cover topics that the unending stream of IS has so far prevented us from getting to, like our thoughts on some of the previous Inspectors and associates, and just have a good time all around! We also drink tea. So much tea.

Our Inspector QuickTime for the week comes from the eleventh Inspector himself, Travis Richey, giving an introduction to the Chicago TARDIS Con (which I guess is a typo of DARSIT?). The question isn’t where the link is… because it’s right here: http://youtu.be/M0TUb9rRU-I

David and Marty take a leap of faith through the clouded images of the Guardian of Forever and land in depression era New York, reviewing the classic Star Trek episode City on the Edge of Forever. Dr. Phill joins us from the sickbay to discuss his thoughts on the episode, the music and the composing. We receive messages from our listeners via Starfleet Command and debut the Randomizer courtesy of the Hingley Brothers down in Engineering. Warp Speed, Mr. Sulu!

As March closes, we are pleased -- and perhaps a bit giddy -- to present our review of The Crooked World by Steve Lyons (author of Conundrum, which we talked about back in Episode 6). Before we begin to tell you exactly why we both want to have a common law marriage with Mr. Lyons, perhaps you should first read the back cover:

The people of the Crooked World lead an idyllic existence.

Take Streaky Bacon, for example. This jovial farmer wants nothing more from life than a huge blunderbuss, with which he can blast away at his crop-stealing nemesis. And then there's Angel Falls, a racing driver with a string of victories to her name. Sure, her trusted guardian might occasionally put on a mask and menace her for her prize money, but that's just life, right? And for Jasper the cat, nothing could be more pleasant than a nice, long nap in his kitchen -- so long as that darn mouse doesn't jam his tail into the plug socket again.

But somebody is about to shatter all those lives. Somebody is about to change everything -- and it's possible that no one on the Crooked World will ever be happy again.

The Doctor's TARDIS is about to arrive. And when it does... That's all folks!

Please follow us on Twitter via @dwbcpodcast, follow Erik via @sjcaustenite, Sean via @tardistavern. Also join us on Facebook!

322 days until the next Gally 24!

GALLY:

• Welcome to Mostly Harmless Cutaway Seven-O featuring Eric, Josh, and Erik (@sjcaustenite)! That's right folks, it's finally time to sit down for a massive helping of Robert Holmes' indelible The Power of Kroll.
  
• Yes folks, Commentaries are back!

WARNING:

• This discussion contains miscellaneous, Sherlock, Torchwood, new WHO, and Classic SPOILERS pertaining to Doctor Who. If you are 100% spoilerphobic to New & Classic epsiodes not yet seen, do not complain to us. This episode is MOSTLY HARMLESS & contains EXPLICIT terms and as always expect strokes of innuendo throughout.

Mini Waffle On about Lack of Sports on Terrestrial TV.

Another mini waffle for you and in this edition we talk about the lack of sports on terrestrial TV. The BBC has recently lost F1 to Sky Sports, another in a long list of sports standard TV stations have lost to the bigger cable channels. If you can afford Sky then great but a lot of people can;t afford to splash and so are missing out on watching great sports for free. Cricket is lost, the majority of football games are lost and as mentioned F1 is lost but and thank goodness for a but, F1 has been partly saved by a new venture called F1 in Pubs in which Meds attended the Australian race in Birmingham. So join Meds and Kell as they have a chat about what they miss and what could be done for sports on TV.

For more information of F1 in pubs click the link above it follow them on twitter @F1inPubs or on Facebook just search for F1 in Pubs
