Latest Podcast Episodes

"The Web of Fear," the second of the long-lost Patrick Troughton stories to be recently rediscovered: is it a directorial masterpiece, a writing misfire, or both? Recorded at Long Island Who.

Here we go again, it’s Doctor number ten! We’ve nearly finished our countdown to the 50th, which means that the time has come for the Greatest Doctor of Them All (in an eleven way tie for first), David Tennant! Holy Ood, this episode is long. I’m pretty sure we say literally everything, and then keep going for good measure. Of course, there’s a lot to be said about Tennant, I just hope the podcast doesn’t come off as overwrought or contrived.

For this week’s Babelcolour tribute we have “We’ll Never Forget You”: http://youtu.be/qDTYJcbMBU8

Neil and Sue Perryman make one of their very rare public appearences as they join Siobhan to talk about 'Adventures With The Wife In Space'. Did you know it was a book? Yes, I know.... kept that quiet, didn't they?

(Love you really guys!)

The book gets a review as does Andrew Cartmel's 'Script Doctor' which has just been reissued from MIWK Publishing.

And in the end: For Remembrance Sunday - for all those who gave all - everywhere.

The original TARDIS crew has returned, landing just outside of Paris in the summer of 1794. Right at the end of The Reign of Terror. Naturally Susan, Ian and Barbra end up captured and sent to the guillotine, all why the Doctor plays at being Regional Officer of the Provinces. Of course it's not as simple as that, but then again it never is.

The 50th anniversary celebrations have begun!!  In this special episode we review the anniversary offering from Big Finish in the form their multi Doctor story Light At The End.  Will this story improve upon previous multi Doctor stories or will it be another jumbled mess attempting to cram in as many continuity references as humanly possible?  Never fear though as Phil and Paul give your their usual forthright opinion and Phil makes a complete balls up of explaining the plot!

However, you must bear one thing in mind!  This review does contain spoilers, so if you haven't listened to Light At The End you have been warned!!

This week, Brendan, Nathan and Todd are back to review the Cybermen's 1985 compilation album Attack of the Cybermen, in which the band revisit all their classic hits from the 1960s, including Another Planet (1966), Clever Clever Clever (1967), You Belong to Us (1967), Initiate Plan Three (1968) and perennial fan favourite It Has Been Agreed (1968). Not all of us appreciate the nostalgia.

Buy the story!

Attack of the Cybermen was released on DVD in 2009. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Notes and links

Doctor Who: The Complete History is a series of beautifully produced hardback books chronicling the entire history of the programme, from its first beginnings to the present day.

Brendan mentions an adorable photo of TV's Starbucks Dirk Benedict and Katee Sackoff drinking Starbucks at Starbucks. Katee Sackoff's current Twitter profile picture is equally adorable.

Brendan would just like to take this opportunity to plug the book Hating to Love: Re-evaluating the Worst 52 Doctor Who Stories of All Time, in which he tries to redeem, excuse or explain seven somewhat unloved Doctor Who stories. The book was edited edited by JR Southall, of Blue Box Podcast fame.

Doctor Who in 10 Seconds

Every week, we remind you about Brendan's brilliant video series Doctor Who in Ten Seconds, in which he summarises no less than 51 Doctor Who stories in no more than 10 seconds each. If you haven't checked it out yet, you really should. And make sure you subscribe to his YouTube channel, so that you are informed immediately when the Season 8 episode becomes available.
