Latest Podcast Episodes

We hope you had a great year and a happy holiday season!  We close out the year and Season 7 with writer/director Robert Valentine!  Rob joins us to discuss his work at Big Finish, what it's like to win an award from the BBC, and his thoughts on the 60th Anniversary specials.

Then Rob invites us to tea to talk all about his Pick of the Month, the classic 80s TV version of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple starring Joan Hickson.  We ask why this is such an important show to him, the differences of the many actresses who've played Miss Marple, and delve into three of his most favorite adventures.

Thanks for listening this year!  We'll see you next month!

After “The Church on Ruby Road,” there should be no question that Ncuti Gatwa will master the role of The Doctor. However, we do need to address the fact that this is now a show with goblins and flying wooden ships….

Once again, it's time to share a few highlights from the past year of Something Who as we bring you a compilation from our episodes in 2023.

And there's a lot to choose from. In addition to our regular presenting team of Richard, Paul, Giles and Simon, we had a lot of guests this year, including Tim Burrows from The Missing Episodes podcast on our 10th anniversary discussion of the Omnirumour. We chatted to an actual Doctor Who writer in Matthew Jacobs, along with Vanessa Yuille, who together made the wonderful fan film Doctor Who Am I? Both Matthew and Vanessa were almost upstaged by a pneumatic drill, but saw the funny side.

We spoke with Steve Manfred about his friendship and collaboration with writer Neil Gaiman. Elizabeth Morton spoke with us about her family connections to Doctor Who, as well as her writing career. And Benjamin Cook, Rich Tipple and Timothy K Brown discussed their work on colourising the first Dalek story for the 60th anniversary.

We hope you enjoy these clips and, if you do, please peruse our back catalogue for the full versions of all of these items and perhaps you'd like to leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or similar platform.

The opening music is Three Guitars Mood 2 and, yes, that is Richard playing the ukulele and kazoo on possibly the worst ever version of the Doctor Who theme tune at the end.

Doctor Who Am I? is widely available in the UK on DVD and Blu-ray https://www.amazon.co.uk/Doctor-Who-Am-I-Blu-ray/dp/B0BGPYV3SD/, also on Amazon Prime: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Doctor-Who-Am-Daphne-Ashbrook/dp/B0B8Q734H3/, and ITVX https://www.itv.com/.

Tim's podcast Doctor Who: The Missing Episodes Podcast is essential listening for anyone interested in this topic and can be found here: https://missingepisodes.podbean.com/

Elizabeth Morton's latest novel, written as Eliza Morton, is The Orphans from Liverpool Lane, a Pan paperback described as "A warm yet gritty saga set in Liverpool in the 1940s from the acclaimed author of Angel of Liverpool." You can get it from your bookseller of choice, or this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Orphans-Liverpool-Lane-heartwarming-emotional-ebook/dp/B0BM9VN5CT

What did we think of the 2023 Doctor Who Christmas Special? What did we think of the new Doctor? Why are you reading this? Hit play already!

rest in peace, Richard Franklin. 1936-2023.

P. S. We ran into a copyright issue around our theme, so excuse the music jump while we come up with an alternative.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or the greeting of your choice.  It is time for a new Christmas Special, a new Doctor in Ncuti Gatwa, a new companion, and the beginning of a new era of Doctor Who.  Ross, Melvin and Jeff talk gobblins, scores, Gwar, Capone, singing in Doctor Who and a bit more. 

#DoctorWho #TARDIS #Gwar #Capone #BBC #TheDoctor 

Toni and Joe are joined by Vincent E.L. and Brad Heath to discuss Babygirl Tennant, meme warfare, and how Christmas tries to kill you in the Doctor Who episode The Christmas Invasion.

It’s Christmas, and for the first time since 2017, the Three Who Rule get to blather on Boxing Day about a Doctor Who Christmas episode, this one being “The Church on Ruby Road”! Yes, let’s hear their thoughts on Ncuti Gatwa’s new Doctor, Ruby Sunday, the mysterious Mrs. Flood, the somewhat odious goblins and their infant-craving King, and…a musical number. Plus a trailer for what we’ll see in May 2024 when the Ncuti Gatwa era both begins and continues, Steven pointing out the inaccuracies of 1960s drum kits, and so much more!

Enjoy the show!

We’ve done something a little different in this episode. The good folks over at Cubicle 7 Games provided us with some review materials to take a look at. First, we unbox the gorgeous ‘Doctors and Daleks: Collector’s Edition’ roleplaying game set and talk a little bit about it. Then, Shaun becomes the Game Master as Keith and Glenn take on the roles of companions Jamie and Ben as we play a campaign using the newly released ‘Doctor Who: Sixty Years of Adventure Books.’ Find out what we thought of these products.

Plus, Keith talks about the recent Big Finish audio, ‘The Eighth Doctor Adventures: Audacity’ in this week’s Something New, 2 Minute Review.

Enjoy!

The post Episode 575 – Fun and Games – Doctor Who RPG appeared first on Traveling the Vortex.

The Church on Ruby Road is only the second time a Doctor's post-regeneration story has been a Christmas Special, following the Tenth Doctor's first outing in The Christmas Invasion back in 2005.

We’ve just seen it; what are our initial, raw, unvarnished thoughts?

Tune in, drop out, and contact us anytime, hello@theDWshow.net

No, you can’t. They’ve been there for millions of years, through storms and floods and wars and time. Nobody really understands where the music comes from. It’s probably something to do with the precise positions, the distance between both towers. Even the locals aren’t sure. All anyone will ever tell you is that when the wind stands fair and the night is perfect, when you least expect it but always when you need it the most… there is a Song.

This week, the Doctor and River live happily ever after, and Jack Shanahan joins us to discuss The Husbands of River Song.

Notes and links

Brendan mentions that this story was recorded after Alex Kingston started working with Big Finish on her long-running series The Diary of River Song. In fact, the first volume of that series is, like The Husbands of River Song, released in December 2015.

We get our first sight of Peter Capaldi’s wedding ring on 4 August 2013, during a close-up of his right hand in Doctor Who Live: The Next Doctor, the thirty-minute live broadcast in which Peter Capaldi is unveiled to the world as the Twelfth Doctor.

Night and the Doctor is a series of five minisodes released on the Blu-ray box set of Series 6 — Bad Night, Good Night, First Night, and the completely unrelated Up All Night. In Last Night, the Doctor runs into a future version of himself, with a new haircut and a suit, about to take River to their last date on the planet Darillium.

Speaking of Moffat recycling his own ideas, Sally Sparrow is first featured in a short story in the 2006 Doctor Who Annual called What I Did on My Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow, in which Sally receives messages from the Ninth Doctor, who is trapped without the TARDIS in 1985. Here’s a link to the story itself.

Jack mentions that he has just recorded an episode of A Hamster with a Blunt Penknife with Joe Ford in which they watched Wild Blue Yonder.

And more

Our new podcast, The Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire, is your number-one source for our ill-considered takes on the Second RTD Era. Here’s our take on The Star Beast, our take on Wild Blue Yonder, and our take on The Giggle. Our Christmassy take on The Church on Ruby Road will be out on 27 December. Like and subscribe.

There’s also Startling Barbara Bain, our Space: 1999 commentary podcast. Two episodes have been released so far: our commentary on the pilot episode Breakaway, and our commentary on the episode Force of Life. We’re planning to release the next episode, Collision Course, just before the start of the new year.

Maximum Power continues its journey through Series C of Blakes 7. This week, a proper science fiction writer takes hold of the show — with remarkable results — in Sarcophagus.

And finally there’s our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. It’s taking a well-earned break during the holidays right now, but it brought in the festive season with a commentary on Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, featuring friend-of-the-podcast Tom Salinsky.

Oh… this money wasn’t for me?

Well this is the end of the 14th Doctor, honestly gone too soon. We only just barely got to know you but already you’re dead. Kind of. Sort of. I dunno man, this is too confusing for me. It’s The Giggle, written by Russell T. Davies and originally aired on December 10, 2023.

Show-notes:
11:52: The article is quite dense so here’s the Medium article about toll roads.
27:23: Longtime fans of Doctor Who will recognize that I’m here talking about Professor Zaroff.
41:19: No, turns out Luke really did say it in Last Jedi.
1:20:10: Here’s Russell T. Davies’ Doctor Who and the Time War.

The Krynoid PodCast boys welcome you back to the Green Cathedral this Yuletide to offer you perhaps the closest thing to a pantomime that '60s Who gets, The Underwater Menace.

What the heck is the Doctor wearing and why?

Is the rest of the Atlanteans' male grooming as lax as their eyebrows?

How will Polly's groovy new gills go down on the swinging King's Road?

And did this soggy saga float Jim and Martin's boats or was it like watching a shipwreck?

Listen to find out! 

This episode can also be found at iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible and all other podcatchers (as far as we know).

Thanks for listening and Happy Holidays!

Waffle On about The Golden Voyage of Sinbad

Its Christmas time and its part 12 of 12 celebrating 1973. 

What a film to end on, this classic was always shown (here in the UK) either on Christmas Eve or Boxing Day. Its a bit dubious in parts in todays standards which is why it doesnt get shown much nowadays which is a shame. Still we dont care and we loved it. 

We have an announcement regarding next years episodes and of course a Christmas treat for those who listen right to the very end. 

As always please do share our podcast, thank you for listening, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

But we're going back to 21 December for today's episode, as we celebrate Winter of the Demon, Roy Gill's Eighth Doctor adventure with Charley and Audacity, which was released earlier this month.

We chat to Roy, sound designer Benji Clifford - and India Fisher pops by too!

This holiday season, Radio Free Skaro is presenting a Fluid Links Advent Calendar! Every day from December 1 until December 24, we’ll discuss one topic from our list provided by you, the listeners. Today: Day 23.

Christmas Day. It's always easy to remember, as it's on 25 December each year.

Except, in 2001, it wasn't - as the Eighth Doctor finds Harry Sullivan doing a crossword outside a cafe.

We're looking at 2018 Short Trips subscriber exclusive Tuesday, which was written by Tony Jones. We speak with producer Ian Atkins about this little gem.

What says Christmas more than looking at a couple of Doctor Who stories that happened to air in Christmas week? And, since regeneration is in the air, why not feature that too?

OK, so the first one is a bit of a cheat, 3rd Doctor finale Planet of the Spiders from Season 11 was repeated during the Christmas holidays in 1974, but after that we'll examine the 11th Doctor's swansong The Time of the Doctor which was the Christmas special in the anniversary year of 2013. This episode consists of the second half of that conversation, featuring The Time of the Doctor and our comparisons.

There's so many Eighth Doctor Christmas stories to choose from.

It all began with The Chimes of Midnight in 2002, but since then, there's been so many others, in Big Finish Short Trips collections in print and on audio, in full cast adventures, and in BBC Christmas collections too.

Today, we've asked YOU, our lovely listeners, to nominate your favourite festive frolics for Paul McGann's incarnation.

Join Ian, Phil and James as they preview The Church of Ruby Road, the next brand new episode of Doctor Who to hit your telly-screens on Christmas Day! Completely spolier-free – not through choice, but because once again the Campervan dwellers know nothing about the episode! Any speculation is purely that – if it happens to be right then that’s pure coincidence!

We’ll be back on Boxing Day with our review of the Christmas Special – we thought we’d take some time before we record on this occasion. Recording and editing a podcast on Christmas Day is unlikely to result in a Merry Christmas for the DWP hosts!

Enjoy the show – and Merry Christmas!

This holiday season, Radio Free Skaro is presenting a Fluid Links Advent Calendar! Every day from December 1 until December 24, we’ll discuss one topic from our list provided by you, the listeners. Today: Day 20.

On the brand new Trap One Podcast US Jason (@drwhonovels), Si (@Si_Hart), UK Jason (@jangomac72) and Mark (@QuarkMcMalus) discuss Tales from the TARDIS.

We've returned to the world of Eighth Doctor comics for our episode today.

Pieces of Eighth turns back the clock by a decade to mark the Doctor's appearance in a 50th anniversary story, and we're NOT talking Night of the Doctor.

We chat to writers Scott and David Tipton about Prisoners of Time, the IDW comics celebration of the show, and in particular, the eighth episode, The Body Politic. We also speak to artist Roger Langridge.
