This weeks episode of the Who's He? Podcast starts off strangely as Paul is off out and about and it's left down to Phil to present the quickest news section ever for this podcast. And all he can talk about is whinging Doctor Who fans angry at the news that Steven Moffat has signed up for series 10 and talk of the 12th Doctor fancying Clara in series 9. But let's face it, Phil loves talking about whinging fans.

But once the news is out of the way, it's down to business and Phil and a returning Paul discuss Master, the 3rd in the 40th Anniversary trilogy from Big Finish in 2003.  So after enjoying Davros last time, will this be 2 out of 3 for enjoyment or will this join Omega in the not great category? But in a tale of lost memories, spooky houses, serial killers and Death itself, what's not to enjoy? Tune in to find out!

If Radio Free Skaro was ever made into a lackluster dystopian future series of adventures for the tween set (which it won’t, ever), it would have to be called “Digression,” because that was the tenor of the first few minutes of this episode. Eurovision is rightly disparaged, Warren is baffled by football, and Steven vainly (sort of) tries to get things back on track by lovingly describing Peter Capaldi’s swelling bouffant. Gross. But there’s also a commentary for the Jamie Mathieson penned “Mummy on the Orient Express,” featuring Reality Bomb’s own Alex Kennard! You have 66 seconds to start listening!

Deep within the disused World War Two pedalo pens on Diddly Dum Island lurks a familar shape. A full-sized Lego replica of Stingray waiting to take our podcasting heroes on a global tour of Doctor Who’s underwater story locations.

Gasp as you visit with us the ruins of ancient Atlantis. Thrill as we’re chased along the beach outside HMS Seaspite by angry Lego executives. Shudder as we enter a pitched battle with the Merkyr. Blanch as we milk the Skarasen for lactic fluid for our tea.

Along the way, we reveal the links between Seabase Four and TV game show 3-2-1, and we explain the importance of ankles in an underwater environment. Only on Diddly Dum.

A warp ellipse draws the TARDIS onto what appears to be a stranded starliner. Nyssa and Tegan become separated from the Doctor; not in space, but 6 years into the past, while the Doctor has to deal with a curious schoolboy named Turlough, who has got himself mixed up with an old enemy. The Doctor’s old friend, the Brigadier, is enjoying life as a school teacher, but why doesn't he remember the Doctor at all?

Please send us feedback to tardistavern@gmail.com. We'll read it out loud in a voice of your choosing! Also look for us on Facebook and follow Sean on Twitter via @tardistavern.

Apart from things looking a little different around here with a snazzy new design the podcast is rockin’ and rollin’ as usual. We’ve got some interesting news to get through and then onto our review of grey-ish blue aliens, travelling entertainers and Drashigs.

The News

Wether you agree or disagree with his direction over the last few years, it seems Moffat is here to stay for at least series 10. It seems he’s not done with Who just yet and there’s more stories he wants to explore which leads us onto...

Steven Moffat is at odds with the 12th Doctor himself Peter Capaldi regarding the Doctor’s feelings towards Clara. Moffat believes the Doctor has always fancied Clara while Capaldi disagrees and is obviously not comfortable with that theory. We’ll see how that one plays out in series 9.

One of those “weird” ones for you, comic book fans will be upset to learn that a Doctor Who/Spider-Man crossover has been cancelled. Yes, Marvel’s web slinger was due to cross-over with the Doctor, presumably within comics, but after five years of development it’s been canned.

Talking of comics, Titan have a summer comic event lined up consisting of a one-off five issue run but what’s cool is issue one will feature John Hurt’s War Doctor. Will definitely have that one on pre-order.

Lastly, those of you subscribing to the global BBC iPlayer outside of the UK, the service is being discontinued as of June 26th. Apparently the BBC are launching a new digital media subscription service but we’re not sure on timings, we’ll let you all know when we do.

“Carnival of Monsters” Review

Lot’s going on in this week’s review episode as we talk through this Pertwee classic. The Doctor and Jo find themselves trapped within a travelling entertainer’s Miniscope along with other “aliens”. Do we get excited for this one or scream like Drashigs?

This week’s trivia question

Last episode we asked you – In the episode Midnight, what was the waterfall made of? The answer is Sapphires.

This week’s question is – What is the name of the Impossible Planet? Send us your answer on Twitter or Facebook. Good luck!

Thank you for getting on touch with your thoughts on this week’s review episode. Next week we’re going back to the brilliant Matt Smith era with The Lodger. Have a great weekend and enjoy if you’re going to the Symphonic Spectacular in London. Until next time – Allons-y!

On episode 155 of The Oncoming Storm, things are a little bit weird around Oncoming Storm HQ. No, it has nothing to do with this week's story, the New Adventure Sanctuary, by David A McIntee. It has more to do with the fact that on the day of recording, our expected threesome for the night became a duo after Ashley's wife goes into labor two weeks early! It throws off *all* of the carefully laid plans the podcast had this week, but Josh and Rachel do their best to go it alone. They talk news, medieval France, and the best gosh durn Benny showcase since her debut. And what's this crazy talk about a hiatus? Find out, on the season finale of The Oncoming Storm! The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got a baby! Well, now we do; we didn't when this was recorded. But he had to come out eventually right?
