Latest Podcast Episodes

Ben and Mark begin a two part episode all about the price of immortality with a discussion of 'The Girl Who Died' and 'The Woman Who Lived'. Did the Doctor know Ashildr would die? Isn't it fine to just sometimes cast the same actors again in larger roles and never refer to it? Is Maisie Williams any better in 'Game of Thrones'? We've never watched it. Is the Me character nothing more than an obfuscating Hybrid red herring? Also: Gallows humour, living through the violent establishment of European society, comedy and flippancy in Doctor Who and two exciting rounds of Degsey's Where Did it Come? Game. WARNING: MAY CONTAIN STAR TREK

Episode 73 - Aah, 1989. Nuclear apocalypse never looked so distant after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the screening of the final episode of Doctor Who!

Laugh along at the antics of Coast to Coast, ponder Donald Sutherland's scarf, hand out pink slips in the Doctor Who Production Office and get deep into the trenches of the hate-fest that was (and indeed remains) the Melbourne-Sydney fan wars of the 80s! All this plus listen as Mark draws (very) tenuous links to Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Peter Howell and listen to the very end for a slice of DAAS nostalgia who ask if Kyle and Jason may or may not be Freemasons?

This week, Nathan’s outraged by Richard’s blasphemous theories, while Brendan just wants to be a real ladylike. Don’t tell your probation officer — it’s Ghost Light.

Buy the story!

Ghost Light was released on DVD in 2004/2005. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Notes and links

Control asks the Doctor to “spare a farthing, guvnor” — her climb up the evolutionary ladder is based upon the 1913 play Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw.

Gwedonline calls Ace Alice, which is the most obvious reference to Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll, but Nathan points out that this story owes much more to Alice than that.

After Adam and Eve are expelled from the Garden of Eden, God places an angel with a flaming sword at the entrance to the Garden to prevent them from returning.

Fans of the song That’s the Way to the Zoo will enjoy this rendition by the hosts of the Splendid Chaps podcast, one of the inspirations for Flight Through Entirety. If you have never followed a link from our shownotes, break your habit, and follow this link immediately.

Douglas Adams’s Doctor Who movie script, Doctor Who and the Krikkitmen will be released as a novel by James Goss some time in January. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK) (Amazon AU)

Fans of FTE outside of Australia might not be aware of the non-binding non-compulsory postal survey which our wretched government is using to determine whether LGBTI people get to enjoy legal equality with every bogan arsehole who enjoyed threatening to beat us up in the playground when we were children.

And, finally, here’s a list of the amazing contributions Marc Platt has made to Doctor Who over the years since this story was first written.

Doctor Who in Ten Seconds

Brendan’s accelerated recaps of Classic Doctor Who are finally back, with some speedy ten-second summaries of all of the stories from Season 8.

Fans of Brendan’s video output will find his YouTube page here; they will also subscribe to Doctor Who in Ten Seconds here. Season 9 will be released in the next few weeks.

Follow us!

Brendan is on Twitter as @brandybongos, Nathan is @nathanbottomley, Todd is @toddbeilby and Richard is @RichardLStone. The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam, and the logo was designed by Anthony Wells. You can follow the podcast on Twitter at @FTEpodcast. And more surprising and completely reliable information about the show can be found at @FTEwhofacts.

We’re also on Facebook, and you can check out our website at flightthroughentirety.com. Please consider rating or reviewing us on iTunes, or next Monday we will come and bring you quite a lot of nuts.

We're back once again for another edition of weekly podcast Doctor Who Time and space, as we discuss what makes a great if not perfect episode of doctor who and what has made some of those episodes that we love so brilliant. Plus, we review the seventeenth season fourth doctor story the Nightmare of Eden as well as discussing the latest news and views from the last seven days in the doctor who universe.

The Get Off My World guys are back with part one of a two-part podcast looking at Doctor Who role-playing games with special guests Twin Cites theater and game maker Tim Uren and Pagan Publishing head honcho Scott Glancy! Join the guys as they reimagine fifty plus years of Doctor Who as one massive role-playing campaign, unpack the sandwich thematics from the 1972 Third Doctor adventure The Sea Devils, play an excerpt from Scott’s interview with role-playing game icon and contributer to FASA’s Doctor Who role-playing game Ray Winninger and take an unexpected journey through the convoluted head canon of Tim Uren!

What you are about to hear is the story of a connection, a connection that was made between a television series and a viewer's life.

The You and Who books are the story of that connection, as told by the people who watch the programmes that make us come alive. Chiefly, of course, Doctor Who.

This podcast will relate some of the stories from those books... and beyond.

In this episode:

Dish of the Day written and read by Al No

With an introduction featuring Rob Irwin talking to JR Southall.

The You and Who books, from which all royalties are paid to charity, are available in print and for Kindle, from watchingbooks.weebly.com

Find Rob on Twitter @theDWshow and JR on Twitter @JR_Southall

After having the Earth stolen right out from under the TARDIS, the Tenth Doctor and Donna are going to need a lot more help to save the day. Luckily they have pretty much have everyone from all three (at the time) shows to call on, and a few others lurking in the wings. And, of course, Rose who is packing a rather big gun this time.

We’re back! After a small break from saving the universe and recording podcasts the Tardis is back in the air. We’ve got plenty of news plus our review of a Troughton classic. Let’s do it…

The News

Our friends in the US will shortly be able to see the two-part finale from series 8 – Dark Water and Death in Heaven at the cinema in 3D and Dolby Atmos. Taking place on the 15th and 16th September this will be a nice event to lead you into series 9. Do a search for Fathom Events for ticket information.

Fancy owning a piece of Doctor Who history? One of the original Dalek props from 1963 that was also used in the docu-drama An Adventure in Space and Time is going up for auction soon. Dalek “Dave” will be among lots of original movie props and memorabilia at an auction on 23rd September at London’s BFI IMAX. Bring your savings however as Dalek “Dave” is expected to go for anywhere between PS4000 – PS6000.

Big Finish seem to have once again come up with a delightful pairing, this time our classic investigators Jago and Litefoot are teaming up with Sontaran Commander Strax. Due out this November and up for pre-order now, the story takes place in Victorian London where they’re on the trail of a creature stealing brains and a haunted house. It would be a crime to not order this one!

A new trailer for series 9 dropped a few days ago and we chew the fat a little on what we can expect, what the Doctor will be wearing and will Clara be finally leaving or sticking around?

Lastly, some big names from Who have been seen together in and around Cardiff. David Tennant, Paul McGann and Russell T Davies have all been seen together and have got tongues wagging. We’re not reading too much into RTD based on his last comments about returning to Who but McGann and Tennant have the cogs turning. Hmmmm.

“The Mind Robber” Review

We’re off to The Land of Fiction for a classic Who story and that loveable fool Patrick Troughton. Full of suspense, humour and fairy tale this 60’s story pleases a lot of fans, but does it impress enough?

This week’s trivia question

Last episode we asked you – What was the 100th story to be broadcast? The answer was The Stones of Blood.

This week’s question is – By what names do the Doctor and his companions call themselves in the Gunfighters? Give us your answer in the comments below or post it on Twitter or Facebook. Good luck!

It’s been awesome being back and recording once more, the natural order of things is now restored. Join us next week for more news and our review of Matt Smith’s Hide. Have a great week and until then – Allons-y!

Whooverville 9 coverage continues this time a chat to comedian, writer and actor Toby Haydoke.

End Theme: Dr Who(Gypsy Guitar) by Thrip

The show is now on Facebook please join the group for exclusive behind the scenes insights and of course also discuss and feedback on the show https://www.facebook.com/groups/187162411486307/ If you want to send me comments or feedback you can email them to tdrury2003@yahoo.co.uk or contact me on twitter where I'm @tdrury or send me a friend request and your comments to facebook where I'm Tim Drury and look like this http://www.flickr.com/photos/tdrury/3711029536/in/set-72157621161239599/ in case you were wondering.

  The TARDIS is gone. Stranded in one time and place, the Doctor, Liv and Helen seek refuge in Baker Street. But the house has changed: they now have neighbours – not all of them welcoming. And someone has a dire warning for the future. The Doctor and friends face their greatest challenge yet: living one day after another, in 2020 London. 1.1 Lost Property by Matt Fitton Trying to find a way to resume his travels, the Doctor calls in some old favours. As the residents get to know the new arrivals, something else finds its way into Baker Street, seeding suspicion. Helen meets a man with a very familiar face – and a terrible warning. 1.2 Wild Animals by John Dorney After weeks of London living, some of the TARDIS crew are finding it easier to adjust than others. Liv has found a new friend, but Helen is worried about the Doctor. And when a tragic crime takes place, the Time Lord must learn the limits of his powers. 1.3 Must-See TV by Lisa McMullin There are new arrivals in Baker Street: Sergeant Andy Davidson, and the helpful Mr Bird. The Doctor isn’t happy that someone else in the house is more useful than him. When the residents’ TVs start to malfunction, he suspects foul play. Someone is watching... 1.4 Divine Intervention by David K Barnes As the Doctor becomes desperate, Helen and Liv advise him to accept their situation. Liv makes a date - but gets more than she bargains for when the whole household comes along. And when a threat from the future finally arrives, the Doctor is placed in real danger. It’s time for the truth to emerge.

  The TARDIS is gone. Stranded in one time and place, the Doctor, Liv and Helen seek refuge in Baker Street. But the house has changed: they now have neighbours – not all of them welcoming. And someone has a dire warning for the future. The Doctor and friends face their greatest challenge yet: living one day after another, in 2020 London. 1.1 Lost Property by Matt Fitton Trying to find a way to resume his travels, the Doctor calls in some old favours. As the residents get to know the new arrivals, something else finds its way into Baker Street, seeding suspicion. Helen meets a man with a very familiar face – and a terrible warning. 1.2 Wild Animals by John Dorney After weeks of London living, some of the TARDIS crew are finding it easier to adjust than others. Liv has found a new friend, but Helen is worried about the Doctor. And when a tragic crime takes place, the Time Lord must learn the limits of his powers. 1.3 Must-See TV by Lisa McMullin There are new arrivals in Baker Street: Sergeant Andy Davidson, and the helpful Mr Bird. The Doctor isn’t happy that someone else in the house is more useful than him. When the residents’ TVs start to malfunction, he suspects foul play. Someone is watching... 1.4 Divine Intervention by David K Barnes As the Doctor becomes desperate, Helen and Liv advise him to accept their situation. Liv makes a date - but gets more than she bargains for when the whole household comes along. And when a threat from the future finally arrives, the Doctor is placed in real danger. It’s time for the truth to emerge.

We were supposed to be talking about the trailer. We got a tad off topic. We only got through about have the Maisie Williams theories. And we know the Moff recently said Maisie Williams is a "new character," but he often says things that turn out not to be true or are true on a technicality and decided Williams mat be someone we know-ish. There are lots of left overs that I'll post in two weeks with the outtakes. We've also decided Ken is an official member of the podcast.

Hey Who fans. Cool bit of news, equally cool merch chat then onto our review of The Power of Three.

The News

Another signed script is going up for auction, this time this year's upcoming Christmas Special - Twice Upon a Time. It's signed by Peter Capaldi, David Bradley, Mart Gatiss (who's donating the script) plus some others involved. You've got a while before it closes in mid-November however it won't be cheap, the current bid is just over PS2,000 but it's for charity so the more the better.

Merch Corner

That grumpy Dalek throws us this week - all the deets on the upcoming Series 10 boxsets and another Who calendar for this year - Retro Visions.

"The Power of Three" Review

We haven't seen Mr Smith, along with Amy and Rory, in a while so we're looking forward to chewing the fat about this story written by our future show runner Mr Chibbers. Enjoyment x3 or fail?

Thank you so much as always for listening and sending us your reviews. Next week it's The 3rd Doctor's turn with The Time Warrior so get those dvd's out. Until then have a great week and remember - Allons-y!

This week, Thatcherism, marshmallows and contractual obligation collide as we fulfil a promise made late in 2017 to record a commentary on one of Doctor Who’s angriest and most revolutionary stories, The Happiness Patrol.

Buy the story!

The Happiness Patrol was released on DVD in 2012. In the US, it was released on its own (Amazon US), while in the UK and Australia, it was inexplicably released as part of the Ace Adventures box set, along with Dragonfire (Amazon UK).

Notes and links

Our original discussion of The Happiness Patrol, featuring Brendan and Richard, can be found in Episode 122: This Neocon World, recorded in July 2017.

James and Nathan discussed the story with Erik and Adam on The Real McCoy Podcast in December 2019.

James nominates The Happiness Patrol as his favourite Doctor Who story on New to Who’s surprise Christmas Special back in December 2018.
