    07:37 (GMT) - 4 Jun 2012

    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.

    "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!

    00:43 (GMT) - 4 Jun 2012

    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.

    Impossible Podcasts

    Direct Podcast Download

    00:43 (GMT) - 4 Jun 2012

    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?

    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.

    "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!

    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)

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).

    Do you subscribe to our RSS feed? This is a popular way of keeping track of and automatically downloading podcasts and if you use a media player on your computer you should be able to do this to make things easier. Alternatively, you can find this podKast listed on iTunes!

    Mr Morden is feeling confined, Sheridan smells a rat and Kosh is older than he looks. But enough of their problems, please sit down with us to enjoy In the Shadow of Z’ha’dum...

    Geek to Geek with Monts and Nuge - David Montieth and Barry Nugent bring you their monthly slice of pop culture madness. No script, no preparation but a lot of fun and sass...always sass.

    In a slight change of plan we will be releasing Geek to Geek monthly on it's own and then it will also form part of the quarterly two hour audio magazine show which is the companion to our quarterly Geek Syndicate Magazine.

    Topics covered

    Our thoughts on Avengers Assemble.

    What we think of the upcoming Green Arrow TV show.

    What we're looking forward to reading and watching over the Summer.

    Thoughts on the Eagle Awards and MCM Awards (this was recorded before we found out there still would be an Eagle Awards).

    What DC can do to catch up to Marvel on the film front.

    And much more.

    In which we focus in a little on the latest books that we've plucked from the top of our bookstacks. In the absence of Mattie we are joined by 'The Grampus' a.k.a Matt Farr from Dissecting Worlds. He kicks things off with Adrian Tchaikovsky's insect-themed fantasy, the Shadows of the Apt. Clover follows this up with Juggernaut, an explosive zombie actioner by Adam Baker set in the Gulf conflict. Next up, Phil tells us about Stacia Kane's stylish and grungy urban fantasy, Unholy Ghosts. Dion then waxes lyrical about Jenny Nimmo's The Snow Spider, a beautiful children's fantasy with a tragic heart. Finally Matt gives us a flavour of the prolific but oft under-appreciated weird fiction writer Clark Ashton Smith. All of this is of course spiced with our usual blend of good humor and pettiness.

    Stay tuned also for Adam Baker's first recorded interview on Juggernaut, after the main programme.

    Feedback is always welcome. You can post comments here on GS, e-mail us at scrolls@hotmail.co.uk or tweet us @scrollscast if you like.
    If you want to get personal you can send abuse to @phlambler or pedantic diatribes to @thegrampus. @Dion_Scrolls is more partial to flattery or sponsorship deals from major ice-cream producers.

    I'm just saying...

    Anyway, that's enough waffle. Keep reading.

    Taking a break from Alternative Histories, The Dissecting Duo participate in the spirit of the Olympic summer with the first of four episodes looking at sports and games and all that healthy outdoors nonsense we both try and avoid

    We start by looking at team sports and could hear such highlights as:

    • The fine line between games and sports
    • Star Trek Space Badmington Thingy and other made up sports
    • Why can't the Flash run in the Olympics?
    • The challenges of technology, distance, and interplanetary environments.
    • The changing faces of Cricket, Football and Rugby and the problems of prediction
    • And much more....

    So sit back, enjoy & disagree!
