  • Ep 79 - Companions Playing Doctor

    15 July 2015 (11:30am GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 17 minutes and 13 seconds

    This week we forget an exciting merch-related announcement at the top of the show, so be sure to listen until the very end! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy as we talk about companions who take on the role of the Doctor. Some do it more effectively than others. Some take to it right away, while most develop the ability after spending more time with the Doctor. And some companions who seem very un-Doctorey indeed have their moments too.

    Which are your favorite Doctorish companions? Any moments that stand out to you? Let us know in the comments!

    This week we bring you episode 78--really! Pay no attention to Deb's introduction. Erika isn't the only one who makes mistakes! Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne as we talk about companion teams. First, we have to define that term and differentiate it from "TARDIS team". Then we can get into the meat of the discussion--which companions work really really well together? Who can't you think of without their counterpart?

    Let us know your favorite companion teams in the comments!

    Welcome to a one-of-a-kind episode of Verity! Join Erika and Liz as we try to figure out a way to salvage a recording session gone horribly wrong. (Well, if you consider having only two Verities horribly wrong. As it turned out, it worked pretty well if we do say so ourselves.) Liz had the bright idea to take questions from the listeners--practically in real time! So that's exactly what we did.

    Huge thanks to the listeners who tweeted us questions and made this whole thing possible! If you have questions you'd like to hear us answer in the future, please leave them in the comments!

    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!

    This week's topic is one we've touched on a bit, but we thought it deserved its own episode.

Naturally, there's a lot of UNIT talk, but there are more soldier-companions than you might think.

    What do you think of the military companions? And how do you feel about the Doctor's ever-evolving reaction to soldiers? Let us know in the comments!

    They may not be the most unloved companions, but they're the ones you, the listeners, didn't want to hear us talk about. Join Deb, Erika, and Lynne as we discuss the companions in the bottom 1.5% of our listener poll. Why do we think these companions ended up here? Do they belong? Or do we think some of these characters should be rated higher?

    Did you vote in the poll? If so, did you vote for these companions? If not, why not? If so, why? Let us know in the comments!

    Yes, we assure you this really is episode 74. Pay no attention to the wildly inaccurate introduction claiming we've gotten further than we have. This is what happens when Deb leaves us alone. Join Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we try to cope without our moderating maven. And what are we discussing? We stick to our 2015 theme of companions, but we take it in a different direction this week. We're talking about the companions of a different Time Lord. Yep, from Delgado to Gomez, we're covering the Master's (Missy's) companions! Why does the Master always seem to have lackeys assisting him? We discover the Master's reasons for picking up strays aren't always that different from the Doctor's, though his methods of acquiring these "helpers" is usually quite different.

    What do you think of the Master's companions? Let us know in the comments!

Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we discuss the totally-canonical (according to some) PR1ME computer ads Tom Baker and Lalla Ward did in the early 80s. Wait. I should be clearer--Tom and Lalla did these Australian commercials AS the Doctor and Romana. And they are a glorious thing to behold. If you haven't already seen them, do yourself a favor!

    So what do you think of these commercials? Totally canon? Or just totally fun?

    It's April Fools' Day, so we thought we'd bring you something a bit lighter than usual. Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we discuss the totally-canonical (according to some) PR1ME computer ads Tom Baker and Lalla Ward did in the early 80s. Wait. I should be clearer--Tom and Lalla did these Australian commercials AS the Doctor and Romana. And they are a glorious thing to behold. If you haven't already seen them, do yourself a favor!

    So what do you think of these commercials? Totally canon? Or just totally fun?

    It's time to turn our companion-loving eyes toward the ones we can't actually see. Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we talk about the companions who have missing episodes. Some are missing more eps than others. Does that affect how fandom feels about them? Does it affect how we feel about them? How do we like to consume the missing stories? And what are good places to start for someone who's never tried? All this and more!

    Are you a lover/hater/defender of the companions whose episodes are missing? Do you like the telesnaps? Audios? Novelisations? Let us know in the comments!

    For this week's Extra, we haven't watched anything. Instead, we've been reading! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy as we talk about the new(ish) line of Doctor Who comics from Titan Comics. We've all read the first five issues of the 10th and 11th Doctors' series, and some of us have read even farther. We discuss what it's like to see the Doctor in 2D form and, even more excitingly, we cover the new companions he meets in the pages of these delightful books!

    Have you read the Titan comics yet? If so, let us know what you think in the comments! And whether you've read them or not, you're welcome to enter our giveaway--just leave a comment on our giveaway post!
