Episode 9: The Dark Path
The Doctor Who Book Club PodcastFor September, we're back to more traditional fare with The Dark Path by David A. McIntee (ISBN: 0-426-20503-0), featuring the Second Doctor, Jamie, Victoria, and a certain returning villain who shall remain unnamed but will be apparent by glancing at the cover. From the back cover:
"He's one of my own people, Victoria, and he's hunting me."
Darkheart: a faded neutron star surrounded by dead planets. But there is life on one of these icy rocks -- the last enclave of the Earth Empire, frozen in the image of another time. As the rest of the galaxy enjoys the fruits of the fledgling Federation, these isolated Imperials, bound to obey a forgotten ideal, harbour a dark obsession.
The Doctor, Jamie and Victoria arrive to find that the Federation has at last come to reintegrate this lost colony, whether they like it or not. But all is not well in the Federation camp: relations and allegiances are changing. The fierce Veltrochni -- angered by the murder of their kinsmen -- have an entirely different agenda. And someone else is manipulating the mission for his own mysterious reasons -- another time traveller, a suave and assured master of his work.
The Doctor must uncover the terrible secret which brought the Empire to this desolate sector, and find the source of the strange power maintaining their society. But can a Time Lord, facing the ultimate temptation, control his own desires?
Hmm, sounds sexy.
David A. McIntee is perhaps one of the most prolific writers of Doctor Who novels, with a total of 12 under his belt, including The Face of the Enemy, Bullet Time, and The Shadow of Weng-Chiang. He has also penned two Big Finish releases.

TDP 206: BBC Scrap Doctor Who Confidential
Tin Dog Podcastreprinted from the guardian news page he BBC is to axe Doctor Who Confidential, the BBC3 spin-off from its sci-fi drama, as part of the corporation's ongoing cuts programme. Doctor Who Confidential, which features behind-the-scenes footage from the making of Doctor Who as well as interviews with the cast and crew, has aired in an early evening slot on BBC3 since 2005, when the corporation revived the main series with Christopher Eccleston as the ninth Time Lord. However, with the corporation facing budget cuts of up to 20% across its output as part of its Delivering Quality First initiative, BBC controller Zai Bennett has chosen to axe the show at the end of its current series. Bennett is understood to be pursuing a strategy of focusing investment on original commissions in post-watershed time slots. Since taking over, he has decommissioned shows including Ideal, Hotter Than My Daughter, Coming of Age and long-running sitcom Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps. Speaking last month at the MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival, Bennett said: "It's about focusing my budget on 9pm and 10.30pm; those are the time slots that count. Budgets are tight, so we have to be sensible with the money we have." Mark Thompson, the BBC director general, will unveil the corporation's cost-cutting strategy – the outcome of the DQF process – on 6 October. It is thought to include proposals to exploit greater "synergies" between BBC1 and BBC3, with the digital channel acting as a "nursery slope" for its terrestrial cousin. BBC3 will also fill a greater proportion of its 7pm to 9pm slots with repeats of BBC1 shows. A spokeswoman for the BBC said: "Doctor Who Confidential has been a great show for BBC3 over the years but our priority now is to build on original British commissions, unique to the channel."

Doctor Who Podcast Episode 18: 'The Girl Who Waited'
Sound On Sight PodcastEvery year, the “bottle episode” of Doctor Who is approached with a mixture of both anticipation and dread by Whovians. For those not in the know, a “bottle episode” is an industry term for a “scaled back production” (read “cheap”) that usually appears later on in a series’ after all the money has already been spent, usually on the series finale. Despite such budget constraints, the spirit of creativity in the face of adversity has lead to a surprising number of innovative and ingenious gems over the years, such as fan favorites like “Midnight” and “Blink”. It has also given us “Love and Monsters”, which was pants. Where does Series Six’s “bottle episode” fit on this spectrum? Join Eric Mendoza Lindsay Wood, Beverly Brown and Derek Gladu as we review "The Girl Who Waited".

Ep. 18: Bad girls, bogeymen, and other stories
Telos AMThey're back! After what will hopefully prove to be the last of the extreme technical woes, Alex, Nick, and Lindsey find themselves back in the chatseat chatting about the best show on telly. But don't worry, they don't talk about Corrie THAT much. No! Instead, you get a bumber episode that includes TWO entire episodes that the gang recorded. In the first, Lindsey and Alex cast their critical gaze on Let's Kill Hitler and Night Terrors. Nick then joins Alex to discuss the unexpectedly heart-rending The Girl Who Waited.
Hopefully, there will be a deluge of episodes coming at you from the Telos AM office in the next few weeks as we endeavour to catch up to the show.
Thanks for waiting, podsphere!

Episode 023: Beware the Big White Balls
Doctor Who: The Raggedy PodcastProduction is underway for the Christmas special, but those of us normal folk without time travel capability are still watching Series 6 as it starts winding to a close. On this episode of the podcast, we discuss the second-to-last story of this season, the Gareth Roberts penned "Closing Time", which sees the return of Craig from Roberts' previous story "The Lodger". Before we get into the new, we delve into the old with the classic base under siege serial "The Seeds of Death", which features the Second Doctor, Zoe, and Jamie. Although getting Nuala to watch a classic serial is roughly akin to pulling teeth, will the Zoe factor be enough to please her, or will the six-episode length be too much to handle? Add these lovely chit-chats to a bit of news about the upcoming Chicago TARDIS convention, and more jokes at the expense of the Zune and you have our twenty-third episode.

Minisode 2 - Nicholas Courtney Remembered - 5-Rounds Rapid Salute for Brigadier Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart
Adventures in Time Space and MusicNicholas Courtney, most known for playing the now retired Brigadier of the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce - Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, passed away on the 22nd of February 2011 after a prolonged battle with cancer. Beloved by fans for both his warmth and his advocacy of the show, both during it's initial run and after the classic series ended in 1989, Courtney appeared in 102 televised episodes of Doctor Who, the 1990s special Dimensions in Time, many Big Finish audio productions, as well as the Brigadier's final on screen appearance in the 2008 Sarah Jane Adventures story the Enemy of the Bane. As part of the UNIT family in the 1970s,and although he never had the opportunity to travel in the TARDIS onscreen, the legacy that Courtney's brigadier has on the show can still be felt in the current revival, since Doctor Who returned to our screens in 2005. It had been intended that he would appear alongside David Tennant's Doctor in the Sarah Jane Adventures 2009 story The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith, but alas, his ailing health had begun to make future appearances impossible. It is with great sadness we say farewell to Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart and the actor who brought him to life - as the Brigadier has gone to Geneva for the last time. NOTE: This minisode remembrance of actor Nicholas Courtney originally aired as a segment on the THE KRYNOID PODCAST on Tuesday, 1 March, 2011 - http://krynoid.blog.co.uk/2011/03/01/017-the-three-doctors-10733840/
