Latest Podcast Episodes

What you are about to hear is the story of a connection, a connection that was made between a television series and a viewer's life.

The You and Who books are the story of that connection, as told by the people who watch the programmes that make us come alive. Chiefly, of course, Doctor Who.

This podcast will relate some of the stories from those books... and beyond.

In this episode:

The quantum duality of Andrew Smith: Full Circle by Tony Green

Lest we forget: PS by Lee Rawlings

With an intermission featuring Rob Irwin talking to JR Southall.

The You and Who books, from which all royalties are paid to charity, are available in print and for Kindle, from watchingbooks.weebly.com

Find Rob on Twitter @theDWshow and JR on Twitter @JR_Southall

An 'ancient' pyramid appears overnight. Every clock in the world begins counting down to the Earth's destruction. Three opposing armies lie ready to annihilate each other. An alien race stands ready to offer humanity a deal that could save them, but enslave them. It is a terrifying race against time to save the world. Will the Doctor be forced to accept their help?

Rob discusses the episode with special guest, Paul Scoones (Doctor Who non-fiction author, The Comic Strip Companion), while Dave is overseas.

Following our April episode where Dave ran proceedings without Rob (to change things up while the weekly S10 review episodes are going out), this time Rob runs the whole shebang without Dave.

Mike Solko (last heard in our rather popular "This is the one: The DW Show Presents: Gallifrey One" special), steps in to co-host from his headquarters in sunny Southern California.

After some Series 10 chat and a listener email from @fishy_wanda that the boys discuss at length, chat turns to Season 27 and in particular the audio interpretations of it from 2011.

If you've heard the Big Finish audios, Thin Ice, Crime of the Century, Animal, and Earth Aid, you will be right at home.

If you've seen the documentary ENDGAME on the classic era Survival DVD, you will be pretty much at home here, too.

If you've read the article '27 Up' in Doctor Who Magazine #255 from August 1997, you'll be able to keep up with proceedings, too.

If you haven't done ANY of these things, you'll still likely enjoy the chat, and learn a few things along the way, but will be quite spoilt on Season 27 and Big Finish's interpretation of it.

Dare ye enter? See you inside... if you dare. Mwahahahahaha.

THIN ICE: Moscow 1967. The Doctor and Ace have arrived behind the Iron Curtain, and the Soviet Union is seeking a new weapon that will give it mastery in the Cold War. What is the secret of the Martian relics? As the legendary War Lord Sezhyr returns to life, the Doctor is faced with some of his oldest and deadliest enemies. The fate of Earth - and the future of Ace - are now intertwined...

CRIME OF THE CENTURY: The year is 1989. In London, safe cracker Raine Creevy breaks into a house - and finds more than the family jewels. In the Middle East, the kingdom of Sayf Udeen is being terrorised by Soviet invaders and alien monsters. And on the Scottish border, a highly guarded facility contains an advanced alien weapon. These are all part of the Doctor's masterplan. But masterplans can go awry...

ANIMAL: Margrave University in 2001, and Raine Creevy is enjoying her first trip into the future. For the Doctor, there are mysteries to solve: what are the alien creatures imprisoned in the science labs? And what are the true motives of the student Scobie and his followers? With enemies on all sides, the Doctor teams up with his old friend Brigadier Bambera and the forces of UNIT in a battle for the future of the whole world.

EARTH AID: Welcome aboard the space vessel Vancouver. Its mission: to guard a vast shipment of grain from Earth to the planet Safenesthome. Its Captain is called Ace. She seems a little unsure of herself. In fact, some might almost think she was new to the job. Its medical officer is called simply 'The Doctor', and he's perhaps not all he seems either. When mysterious ships target the Vancouver, Ace and the Doctor are pushed to the limit. Meanwhile, there's something nasty in the grain containers. And it's not very happy...

A steampunk cyber giant, a TARDIS balloon and a terrible ending

Joseph, Matt, and Gabe chat about Steven Moffat’s triumphant, or at least enjoyable-but-still-plot-hole-ridden episode, “Extremis.” I mean, this is his last season, he’s got to still be wanting to tell stories in his last ride right?

Anyway before we wake up and find out that Capaldi’s whole run was just an elaborate video game, here is a delightful WhoTube by Beta Dottore called “Doctor Who: I am The Doctor” – https://youtu.be/muw6SSbVNNY

Hey Who fans! We’re reeeeally looking forward to reviewing Extremis this week but first, some news and merch…

The News

Pretty light on news but we do have some viewing figures for Oxygen to talk through.

Merch Corner

Merch talk this week covers a second free story this year from the Lethbridge-Stewart range, a new poetry book featuring illustrations from Russell T Davies, new Titan Comic event coming this summer aaaaaand… we have a name for our Dalek merch friend courtesy of listener George Garrity – Dalek Tat! Very fitting.

“Extremis” Review

This is it. The moment is series 10 when we take a shift in direction and find out who or what is in the vault, will the Doctor get his sight back and why Nardole is paired with the Doctor. Are we impressed with this one or are we lost in a convoluted timey-wimey maze?

Thank you listeners as always and for those who sent in reviews. Next week’s review will be part two of this loose trilogy – The Pyramid at the End of the World so get your reviews in for that. Until next time have a great week and remember – Allons-y!

This week. Nardole sticks his hand somewhere he really shouldn't, Bill gets cock blocked by the pontiff and the Doctor considers a subscription to Audible.

or beat out your message in morse code, on a fish made entirely from mushrooms. Chris will receive it.

This week we cover story #270, Extremis! When the Pope seeks out the Doctor to personally request his assistance, the Doctor is intrigued -- and more so when he learns of Veritas, a document that drives anyone who reads it to suicide. What secret could this strange document be hiding? What horrible truth?

QotW: Michelle Gomez says she's leaving Doctor Who after Series 10, at least for a while. Should Missy return sooner, later, or never?
