"Can you feel the love toni..." Sorry, that's the Lion King! On this year's MarkWHO42 Valentine's Day Special, the team includes guest stars Earl Green of VWORP! and Charles Martin of The Happiness Patrol Podcast. Earl and Charles join the team during the news segment to discuss the life and the loss of Captain Apollo himself, Richard Hatch, and a very heavy discussion about the announcement of the departure of Peter Capaldi as the 12th Doctor during the Doctor WHO Christmas Special this year. Then we bring in our very special guest, Big Finish Audio actress India Fisher, who plays Charlotte Pollard, companion of the 8th Doctor and 6th Doctor respectively. How does that work? You'll just have to listen as the team interviews India about her taking on the role of the first Doctor WHO audio companion and how it has changed her life. And find out more about Charley's spin off series as it approaches series two coming out next month.

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME.... OF THE YEAR! That's right, it's February - time for another GALLIFREY ONE Doctor Who Convention (the 28th!), so this must be our annual preview episode with our great friends Sage Young and Kim Rogers of HeadOverFeels.com ! We'll discuss what everyone is doing (panels, cosplay, etc) at this year's Gally, as well as the other people, places, and things that we're looking forward to! Also, John and I will do a little intro about Gally in general for any listener who is going for the first time. It's a quick listen, just enough to get your juices flowing for the convention (HA - as if we aren't all amped up to 11 (or TWELVE) already! )

ALSO, keep your eye on our main Libsyn page all weekend (as well as our Twitter feeds) for links to our podcasts from the convention!

Jeff and Felicity joins Josh again with a perhaps underrated Peter Davison story: Frontios. It is likely that there will be a fair amount of discussion about battery acid, Turlough saliva and wood lice. But then again, that's the High Council for you.

The Others have never shied away from a Cybermen episode and this is no different. As they take a look at the first two episodes of the Peter Davison story, Earthshock, they ponder the question of what moments in Doctor Who have been unexpected or shocking. The reason for this discussion stems from the fact the general public in the UK had no idea at the time the Cybermen were returning in this story; a secret kept to such an extent that JN-T even refused an opportunity for the Cybermen to be on the cover of the Radio Times. What other moments came as a completely shock?

We are The Others.

The Others is not recommended for people who don’t like swearing or are easily offended.

Ben has recovered from the Space Plague joins David to sadly reflect on the passing of John Hurt, the War Doctor. Discussion then moves on to Peter Capaldi's looming departure and then speculate on which actor could be and should be cast to replace him. Lastly, the two chat about "Revenge of the Cybermen", Tom Baker's only encounter with the men of cyber. Intro music: "No More" from Murray Gold's score from "The Day of the Doctor". Intermission and closing music is from Carey Blyton's score from "Revenge of the Cybermen".

It's finally almost here. Gallifrey One is only days away and we're overly excited.This episode we give you the rundown on what we plan on seeing, what we plan on doing, and how much sleep we plan on missing. Los Angeles here we come!

We're going to be live streaming our Gallysodes throughout the day this year, so don't forget, starting Thursday night, to check in with our Facebook page.

Our favorite weekend of the year is here in less than a week, the Whovian celebration known as Gallifrey One! We'll be there doing our live show at 10:30 a.m. Friday in the main hall with our live show, "Radio Free Skaro: Victorian Gothic Folly," but in the meantime get comfortable as we break down what we're looking forward to seeing and doing at the LAX Marriott, and stay tuned next week for shows from the con!

Notes and links

Spy vs Spy was a long-running wordless comic strip which featured for decades in MAD Magazine.

Fans of period drama where the principals aren't wearing the most horrific clothes possible will enjoy The Pallisers and When the Boat Comes In.

Brendan mentions Cornell, Day and Topping's opinion on this story's rubber trees in their Discontinuity Guide entry on this story.

Before taking on the role of the Doctor, Colin Baker was most famous for his role as Paul Merroney in The Brothers, which ran from 1972 to 1976, and also featured television's fabulous Kate O'Mara.

Horrifically, Bic pens for women were actually a real thing. Here's Ellen's take on the topic.

For those of you who don't live and breathe the history of Doctor Who, Michael Grade was Controller of BBC One in 1985. In February of that year, he announced that Doctor Who was cancelled; later on, he announced instead that it would be "rested" for eighteen months.

Brendan, who was basically born to find redemptive readings for the worst Doctor Who stories ever, is a major contributor to the newly-published, Hating to Love: Re-evaluating the 52 Worst Doctor Who Stories of All Time, which is available in all good bookstores everywhere. And on the Kindle.

Before taking on the role of the Doctor, Colin Baker was most famous for his role as Paul Merroney in The Brothers, which ran from 1972 to 1976, and also featured television’s fabulous Kate O’Mara.

Horrifically, Bic pens for women were actually a real thing. Here’s Ellen’s take on the topic.

For those of you who don’t live and breathe the history of Doctor Who, Michael Grade was Controller of BBC One in 1985. In February of that year, he announced that Doctor Who was cancelled; later on, he announced instead that it would be “rested” for eighteen months.

Brendan, who was basically born to find redemptive readings for the worst Doctor Who stories ever, is a major contributor to the newly-published, Hating to Love: Re-evaluating the 52 Worst Doctor Who Stories of All Time, which is available in all good bookstores everywhere. And on the Kindle.

The Blue Box Podcast - Episode 245: So Farewell Then Mr Capaldi Brought to you every Saturday by Starburst Columnist - JR Southall, Lee Rawlings, Mark Cockram and Simon Brett.

After seven months of radio silence, the most recent Mars mission has returned to Earth and, of course, nothing is simple with the recovery and rescue of the crew. Radiation, kidnappings, running around and lots of other distractions keep the Doctor from saving the day. Luckily things turn out better than most of the other Mars missions in the show.

This week we feature a new series of articles, where in the first we discuss our dream series of the revived era of the show, review the 2nd doctor classic the war games and discuss the latest doctor who news from the last seven days in the whoniverse.

After a gap of some time, the expectation has been high, but finally, the wait is over -they have returned - Greg and David, no, sorry, of course we mean the Daleks, return to Doctor Who in their first meeting with the 3rd incarnation as played by the one and only Jon Pertwee. A Terrance Dicks novelization, a UNIT story, and the new audio version voiced by Richard Franklin - what will we make of it all? Plus a competition to win a copy of the new BBC Audio version on CD.

Hey Who fans! More cheerful news this week then onto our review of the 5th Doctor story Time-Flight.

The News

The Ice Warriors are coming back for series 10.

Series 11 is to be broadcast next Autumn with filming due to start early next year. That does mean that with the exception of the Christmas Special this year, we’re in for another year at least hiatus.

Missy is back for Series 10. You probably guessed that as the Moff is still showrunner.

Merch Corner

Fancy a cool crystal TARDIS? Head over to www.doctorwhocyrstals.com to take a look. There’s also a Capaldi version.

“Time-Flight” Review

Possibly one of the most frowned upon stories from Davison’s era and possibly all of classic Who. How do we feel about this one with it’s Heathrow setting, sideways TARDIS and PS5 budget? One of us isn’t a fan, the other one surprisingly is.

Thank you for listening and sending in reviews. Next week we’re looking at the Capaldi story Into the Dalek. Look out for the FB post on Monday and get your reviews in. Until then have an awesome week and remember – Allons-y!
