Well, its taken close to six months, but Leeson has finally drawn the attention away from the other three wanabee regulars of the campervan and managed to shine the spotlight on himself.

It’s all about Leeson for this episode of the Doctor Who Podcast, where we try and help Leeson decide what classic Doctor Who episode to watch next.

But surely Leeson has seen them all, just like the other three main hosts, we hear you cry?  Apparently not, and it is up to Trev, James and Tom to state their cases for some of their picks from Leeson’s pile of unwatched shame.

Which stories hasn’t Leeson seen?  Which one will he pick?  Will there be any justice as the boys wage the battle for Leeson’s eyeballs?

In the premiere episode of Playing Doctor we meet Ben and Jennie and discuss the pilot episode of the 2005 Doctor Who series “Rose”.

White Trash Rose Tyler meets a strange leather-clad man Who changes her life. Oddly enough, drugs and alcohol weren’t involved. Only after ditching her rubbish boyfriend and saving the world from the Plastic Menace can this chav girl’s real adventure begin.

Because England has White Trash Too.

The post Ep-001 England Has White Trash Too appeared first on Playing Doctor: A Doctor Who Podcast.

This week, the ESO crew went to the movies and witnessed the restart of the webhead’s franchise. And where better to get together than a comic shop? Odin’s Comics in Lilburn, GA played excellent host to Mike, Mike, William, Peter Cutler, Anthony Taylor, and the award-winning artist Mark Maddox, as they discussed The Amazing Spider-Man. … Continue reading →

The DWO WhoCast - Ooh, who dropped that house on her?

It’s that time of week again, Kasterborites, where James McLean, Christian Cawley and Brian Terranova pluck one of the many subjects of Doctor Who and offer their thoughts about it.

This time around, we’re dedicating an entire podKast (with a “K”) to the legendary, oft-overlooked yet hugely important Ninth Doctor, as played by the statuesque Christopher Eccleston. From “Run!” to “Before I go…” we discuss his appearance in books, continuity, his legacy and the reasons for his mysterious departure…

You can listen to this week’s podKast via the player above, where you will also find an option to download. ITunes users can find the podKast listed there.

Some audio issues are littered throughout the podKast this time – our apologies!

Okay, so better late than never – right? TFA Episode 6 is coming at you with our biggest show ever. While sometimes bigger doesn’t mean better – in this case it most certainly is. We give you the news of the weird with testicle eating Fish and an ex-CIA agent claiming the Roswell Crash was really extra-terrestrial (no duh). A We give you the skinny on just which villain Benedict Cumberbatch is playing in JJ Abrams’ Star Trek 2. Rita accuses JC of crushing on the naked Nathan Fillion (of Firefly). Rita goes bonkers for the return of Sailor Moon.A We also give our review of the new hit film The Amazing Spider-Man.

Then we go off the deep end, talking about Sci-Fi and Horror shows that are no longer on the air and we miss dearly (Yes Firefly, Stargate SG-1 and Buffy are on the list – among many others).

We have a new segment this week – the Retro Review – where we’ll give a new review of old tv shows and movies. In ourA TransmissionsA Received segment, we have best selling author of the Wool series, Hugh Howey in for a chat on remarkable trip to the top of the Amazon Best Seller charts as an independent author.

Rita goes Harry Potter nutzo as we review the book series in Rita’s Reading Review and preview Ascendio 2012 – the Con later this week in Orlando, Florida.

We have more naked John Barrowman (Torchwood) discussion, could River and Captain Jack end up in a spinoff series (we had it first)? Plus other Doctor Who news.

We wrap up this marathon session by reviewing the last two episodes of True Blood.

We are packed to the gills…watch out!

This week, from the very depths of Manilow's bag, we review "Revenge of the Cybermen". Attempts are made to answer such questions as: If the cybermen have no emotions, how can they feel the need for revenge? Why do Vogans run everywhere? And, who the hell is Arnold Ridley?

The Lazarus Experiment Party episode

Changing our recording time to Sunday evening sparks a podcast party and a in-at-the-deep-end scenario for new co-host Mary Lang. During all the usual mayhem we just about manage to review Stephen Greenhorn’s The Lazarus Experiment. We get invaded by The Omega Podcast (Wes, Wendell and Liz). Alicia joins us via Skype from her bedroom. Rhys gets up at 5am and Robert gets his times mixed up and joins us an hour late at 4am. Julia Bartlett-Sloan adds her voice to the pile with her dad, Kirby and finally there is a cameo appearance from Ben Shoveller. Despite all of this Mary seemed to survive her initiation.

There is news and the top 30 Doctor Who Podcasts.

Trilbee takes a look at the reboot of the Spider-Man franchise. The result: Better luck next time. Featuring a special appearance from JD of Geekvision.tv.

Whostrology: A Time Traveller’s Almanac by Michael M Gilroy-Sinclair Illustrated by Deborah Taylor Whostrology: an astrological system based upon the travels of a certain Time Lord. The mythic qualities of his tales of adventure form the basis for this book of daily readings that can help you shape your life and live in a truly Whovian way. It has been said that the Doctor was born under the sign of the crossed computers. This could mean one of two things. It could be nothing more than a flippant remark to a passing local; or it could be a reference to the stars as seen from the Doctor’s home world. As any visible constellations are an arbitrary set of images fully dependant on the observer’s location in time and space as well as their cultural heritage, it can also be argued that some people have nothing better to do than make things up. Whostrology is a book of daily readings, zodiac signs and explanations, and other Who-based astrological elements, designed to allow every Who fan to lead a life of peace and ordered calm. Available from www.telos.co.uk Released 31st October 2012.

Whilst Steve remains in an undisclosed location fighting crime and making the world a better place, Sean holds down the fort still, this time with our old friend Erika and Steven from Radio Free Skaro. Our first idea was to review "The Idiot's Lantern" in view of the diamond jubilee, then we realized this wouldn't be released until July, so you know, fuck that.

Given free reign to choose a topic, as our guests often do, Erika selected "The King's Demons", much to the chagrin of Steven and the relief of Sean who realized he only had to watch two episodes. Short and sweet? Or does this story just fester like a tiny deer turd on the forest floor. Listen and find out!

Facebook, blah blah blah, tardistavern@gmail.com, blah blah blah, @tardistavern. Also follow Erika on Twitter via @HollyGoDarkly and Steven via @legopolis, for the zero of you who have a Twitter account and don't follow them already.

This week Phil and Paul return to series 4 with a look at the well regarded story, Midnight. As they both like this episode, they do find it hard going to talk about! It's a small story, so they're opinions seem to match this week but it doesn't stop the pair of them getting into a disagreement about stubborn academics.
Also in the news this week, a small item about recent casting for series 7, The Ambassadors of Death DVD update and a new feature of the Who's He? Podcast - Omega's Tat Corner.

Caleb and Sarah discuss Scottish accents, art and death, rom-coms and more in our fan commentary on series 5 Doctor Who episode, ‘Vincent and the Doctor’!

The Doctor and Amy meet famous painter Vincent van Gogh in this episode penned by none other than Richard Curtis. But is Saturday teatime sci-fi the right slot for exploring themes of depression and suicide? Or is this episode proof that Doctor Who can be broader and deeper on the small screen than weekly alien invasions and unlikely raising of the stakes to imperil all of reality itself? Let us know what you think, in the comments or via Twitter and Facebook!

With Chris away this week as he completes his move westward to Edmonton, the Three Who Rule welcomes occasional Fourth Ruler Neil Perryman of Adventures With The Wife in Space and Tachyon TV fame to talk about the works of Paddy Kingsland in the Miniscope. Kingsland provided many a memorable motif in a multitude of stories from Seasons 18-21, ranging stylistically from the morose melodies of "Logopolis" to the rock and roll riffs that backed up "Mawdryn Undead". Also discussed were the imminent appearances of mother-daughter team Diana Rigg and Rachel Stirling in Doctor Who, and can Paul McGann's new costume (it's canon now, folks!) be the stepping stone to a future appearance in the TV series in 2013? Stay tuned!

Keep smiling, you don't want anyone to think you're a Killjoy, cause then the Kandy Man will come in the night and give you a Fondant Surprise. Ah, yes. This week we are reviewing that wonderful Seventh Doctor story "The Happiness Patrol".

We've also got some news. We forget to wish Jon Pertwee a Happy Birthday. And be warned, we talk about clowns.

That's Bertie Bassett pictured there. We can see why Bassett's Candy got upset. Here's some of the candy that actually made up the Kandy Man:
You can see his head there at the bottom, and his bottom in the middle.

"The Happiness Patrol" can be streamed on YouTube or DailyMotion. It's also out on DVD if you're a completionist.
