Latest Podcast Episodes

In this weeks episode, the reviewing partnership of Phil & Paul take a look back at the ...ahem...well regarded series 4 story The Doctors Daughter. OK, I can't keep up the pretence any longer, it's probably one of the least well regarded stories in this series and Paul & Phil do little to change anyones opinion. But they go through the motions and try as they might, they can't help but be nothing but critical of this story, so don't expect many laughs this week!! However, after much analysis, they reach the conclusion that the only thing that thing that could have saved this story is......WILLIAM SHATNER!!
And in this weeks news, the first group of guests has been announced for Gallifrey 2013, series 7 production news and air date rumours and in what has become a regular feature Paul & Phil promise to listen to some Big Finish audios!

This week we take a break from the electronic media delivery of Doctor Who and turn to the novels. First, Glenn reviews "The Crooked World" by Steve Lyons starring the 8th Doctor. Then, Shaun takes on the 9th Doctor story "Only Human" written by Gareth Roberts.

“So, Jonathan, shall we do some news for fifteen minutes or so and then spend the rest of the podcast doing… other podcast-ey stuff?”

“Fifteen minutes? Are you mad, Ian?!”

“That’s what we normally do!”

“But… there’s… look at this list!!”

[Jonathan shows Ian the news list. There’s a lot of stuff on it.]

“Ah.”

So, brace yourself for a whole podcast devoted to the news! As David goes on holiday (we hear Iceworld has a decent restaurant), PCJonathan and Ian Redman discuss - among many other things - ‘Good as Gold’ (make sure you’ve seen the mini-episode first - spoilers!), the BAFTAs, Big Finish, Doctor Who Magazine… and why you shouldn’t trust IMDb. Ever.

It's here! Our (one man) discussion of the latest episode of Miracle Day.

After the twists and revelations of last week's episode, can Torchwood maintain the standard? Will the presence of so many other sci-fi franchise actors help or hinder them? And just what has Oswald Danes been up to these past few weeks? Our reviews editor P.G. Bell takes a one man romp (maybe more of a saunter) through the latest happenings.  James Willetts will be back later in the week with his written review.

We're thinking of taking our arc plot disucssion further and would love to have your input. Let us know your favourite and most hated arc-heavy shows. Lost, BSG, X-Files... we want your opinions on the lot. Make yourself heard and we'll do our best to include your thoughts in a future podcast!

We don't have our usual commentary for you this week, but worry not - we've got a terrificly spirited and in-depth discussion for you instead.

Location, location, location... how much influence does it have on Doctor Who, and how does Steven Moffat use it differently to Russell T. Davies? Plus, as Mark Gatiss returns to the show he helped relaunch, we examine his back catalogue and wonder whether we can forgive him for last year's Dalek fiasco. Finally, we veer into a fairly serious debate about arc plots v. standalone episodes. Has Doctor Who got the balance right? (We'll give you three guesses about Swithun's stance on this one...)

All this, and a brand new podcaster! Join us in welcoming Sarah Burrow to our scary cupboard of fandom.

The dust has settled, the hangovers faded and the cosplay has been packed away for another year. But was this year's SFX Weekender - one of Britain's biggest sci-fi and fantasy conventions - worth the trip?

It's safe to say that not everything went according to plan, but did the stellar guest list make up for the freezing temperatures and interminable queues? P.G. Bell shares the high and low points with Caleb Woodbridge and Sarah Burrow. PLUS! a report on the inaugural cosplay competition and interviews with a few of the participants.

"They went and cast a 12 year old as the Doctor..."

It's time for some words of wisdom from the Seventh Doctor himself, Sylvester McCoy - recorded live at last February's SFX Weekender. Sylvester was on typically lively form, swapping the safety of the stage for a roving microphone and getting up close and personal with his public.

And what a show he gave us. Not content with revealing a few secrets of his time in the TARDIS, he explained the origins of his stage name (be warned: it involves a rather naughty joke), why he used to set fire to his own head for money and what he really thinks of Matt Smith's performance as the Doctor. Even more excitingly, he revealed how he won the role of Rrrrrrrrradagast the Brrrrrrrown in Peter Jackson's forthcoming Hobbit movies. This one's not to be missed!

There's more to Moffat than Doctor Who but is Sherlock really the series that "puts the 'sexy' in sexist?"

As the second series of Moffat's award winning adaptation draws to a close, Caleb Woodbridge, Sarah Burrow, Olivia Cottrell and James Willets put their heads together to examine the latest run of episodes. They also share their thoughts on the sexism furore and Moffat's response, how the series fares against other adaptations (Robert Downey Jr, take a bow) and the show's unique visual style.

This was our first attempt at recording an all-Skype discussion, so the sound quality does vary in places, but shouldn't be too distracting.

When you think of sci-fi, the chances are you're thinking of Space Opera. But as television turns its back on tales of "shooty-death-kill in space", will the sub-genre continue to thrive on the printed page?

A stunning line-up of top sci-fi authors assembled at the recent SFX Weekender to confront this very question. Paul McAuley, Peter F. Hamilton, Alastair Reynolds, Dan Abnett, Jaine Fenn, Mike Cobley and Aaron Dembski-Bowden reviewed the current state of literary science fiction and raised some tantalising questions of their own. Have the harsh realities of modern life killed our dreams of exploration? Does it still count as Space Opera if the story's set on Earth? And just what the frack is Space Opera anyway?

It's been another busy month. With Doctor Who filming on both sides of the Atlantic, we discuss the on-set pics and wonder how long we can avoid the major spoiler that leaked out this week. (Don't worry - we give nothing away).

JK Rowling, creator of Harry Potter, announced the title of her new adult crime novel - The Casual Vacancy. We wonder what it all means and take a detour into Pottermore, the official home of the Harry Potter e-books.

And while we're on the subject of the boy wizard, Sarah got to preview The Making of Harry Potter set tour in London recently, and gives us her expert verdict. You'll find a few pics of her adventures after the jump below, or visit our Facebook page to see the whole album.

"The greatest danger in life is not taking the adventure..."

The loudest man in sci-fi (or any other genre, for that matter) was guest of honour at last week's SFX Weekender in North Wales. P.G. Bell was there to record the action and we're very pleased to bring you Brian's complete Q&A session, conducted on Saturday 4th February, in front of a capacity crowd.

Brian explained his passion for science fiction, outlined his plans to bump off old friend Patrick Stewart and revealed why he calls Her Majesty the Queen "Knuckles".

Most importantly, he publicly announced two very important projects for the first time - one in the realm of science fiction, the other based firmly in science fact. Seriously, this is pretty big.

He also uses some rather salty language at times, so be prepared!

Welcome back to Points of Who, our monthly roundup of news, views and general waffle.

And what a month it's been! The Doctor's new companion for Series 7 was confirmed, in the form of the lovely Jenna-Louise Coleman. We discuss her casting and float a tantalising (if unlikely) theory about the sort of character Steven Moffat might have in mind for her.

Then there was the official BBC Doctor Who convention right here in Cardiff and we've got a report from the front lines. Sort of. We did at least meet with the fine folk of the Who's He, Ubuntu UK and Doctor Who podcasts, and recorded some of the results.

And, for your continued listening pleasure, we give you a quick roundup of some of our favourite geek-friendly podcasts. (See the links below to visit their sites).

High concept ideas. Multi million dollar budgets. A cast of thousands. These are just some of the things we'll never be trusted with and, on the strength of this podcast, that's probably a wise move. But we let our imaginations run riot and cook up not one, but six competing movie pitches.

Synopsis Business is bad for intergalactic media mogul Augustus Scullop, whose Trans-Gal empire is on the rocks. But, having retreated to his own private planet, Transmission, Scullop is about to gamble his fortune on a new show, made with an entirely new technology. And the name of that show… is Laser. Back in the real world, far from the realms of small screen sci-fi fantasies about monsters and aliens, the Doctor is interested only in watching Test Match cricket… but finds himself drawn into Scullop’s world when his new travelling companion, Flip, is snatched from inside the TARDIS. So, while the Doctor uncovers the terrible secret of Trans-Gal’s new tech, Flip battles to survive in a barren wilderness ruled over by the indestructible Lord Krarn and his pig-like servants, the Warmongers. And the name of that wilderness… is ‘Stevenage’. Written By: John Dorney Directed By: Nicholas Briggs Cast Colin Baker (The Doctor), Lisa Greenwood (Flip Jackson), Julian Wadham (Augustus Scullop), Yasmin Bannerman (Dr Helen Shepherd), Hywel Morgan (Nick Kenton/Jack Laser), Martin Hutson (Matthew Howland/Lord Krarn), Tilly Gaunt (Olivia Sayle/Jancey), Kim Wall (Chimbly/Head Warmonger), Henry Devas (Junior/Warmonger)

Zygons, Zygons everywhere and not a...well, never mind. Zygons are talked about here. Their evolution, their symbiotic relationship to things, their technology. And while we do refer "Terror of the Zygons" we don't give any spoilers as to plot or details into events. But, if you can, stream it online or get it when it comes on DVD. We're sure we'll be reviewing it eventually.

Speaking of reviewing stories, your assignment for this week is to watch "Waters of the Deep", the 5th Doctor story. We'll be reviewing it next week.


Warning: Big rabbits this week.

This week's episode of Radio Free Skaro has unwittingly turned into a celebration of one-time Doctor Who producer Philip Hinchcliffe. Not only do the Three Who Rule provide commentary on the first Hinchcliffe story to air, 1975's iconic The Ark in Space, but it was also announced this past week that Hinchcliffe will be appearing at his first ever Gallifrey One convention in February of next year. So sit back and listen as we celebrate one of the finest eras in Doctor Who history that made the show an international success story. 

Also, listen as we make fun of actors' hairstyles. Ah, it's Radio Free Skaro. What do you expect?

Chewing the fat on what has been taking place in the Doctor Who world lately are Brian Terranova, James McLean and Christian Cawley, who despite their obvious, unrivalled professionalism on the podKast haven’t received a Bafta lately (or, indeed, at all).

Fear not, however, at least one of them has been in the same room as two of the subjects of this week’s podKast with a K – Steven “The Grand Moff” Moffat (aka The Moffinator) and Matt Smith.

This week we look at Steven Moffat’s much-deserved Bafta award and some of the odd reaction to this on Twitter, as well as chat about Matt Smith carrying the Olympic torch (and being slightly distracted by the issue of blanket coverage of the subject).
