Greetings Who fans, good to have your ears for episode 47. Let’s go straight in with talk of the official festival, news round up then our review of Paul McGann’s Doctor Who: The Movie.

The News

If you’re enjoying the current run of Who comics from Titan then you’ll be pleased to hear that Year Two has been successfully commissioned and kicks off this September with stories for the Tenth and Eleventh Doctor’s. Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor: Year Two #1 lands Sep 9th and Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor: Year Two #1 is released Sep 16th. No word as yet on stories for the 9th or 12th Doctor’s but watch this space.

Dan Starky has been expanding his Who character repertoire lately. He was snapped at what looks like The Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff in a custom made mini-Cyberman outfit. What can this mean? Is this something we’ll see in Series 9 this September or is it a bit of fun? Either way, Starky looks less than thrilled in the pics and we much prefer him as Commander Strax.

Capaldi and Coleman are going to Germany to play special guests at a Who event in Berlin. Friday 17th July sees a special fan event in the heart of Berlin and we think this is a great idea. As Who grows in popularity across Europe it’s only fitting that the stars pop over and say hi. If any of our German listeners attend please send us some pics!

“The Movie” Review

Ah, The Movie, or The TV Movie, or Doctor Who The Movie. Whatever your naming convention it’s a very different beast this one and a story we’ve been looking forward to reviewing for ages. You’ll know the drill with this one but does it leave us feeling regenerated and alive or cold and morgue-like?

This week’s trivia question

Last episode we asked you – Where is “Sister-of-mine”? The answer is of course, in every mirror.

This week’s question is – The Sycorax had control of people with which blood type? Give us your answer in the comments below or post it on Twitter or Facebook. Good luck!

It’s been great fun this week and thank you so much for all your comments on The Movie, you guys obviously have strong feelings on it and it was great reading through them all. Be prepared for next week’s Timelash! Have an fantastic week and until next time – Allons-y!

Life is sad.  Also Dan and Eric shrink themselves down and spend some time with Carnivale of Monsters.

This week we cover story #58, Colony in Space! The Doctor finds himself on the planet Uxarieus, where a colony is under attack from monsters and the Interplanetary Mining Corporation wants them off the planet. The natives pose a threat as well, and things really get interesting when an Adjudicator arrives to sort things out -- and it turns out to be the Master!

This week we're talking about the "kids" in the TARDIS. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we talk about the Doctor as a father figure and orphans in the TARDIS. So how does the Doctor do as a parental unit? Is he a trustworthy adult-type? Or as childish as the youngsters he takes in? Or does it vary by era? (Spoiler: it varies!) And as this is the year of the companion, we spend a good amount of time chatting about the young(ish) orphans themselves.

What do you think of the-Doctor-as-parent and the young'uns who travel with him? Let us know in the comments!
