Episode 19: Har-dee-Har of Fang Rock!
The TARDIS TavernIn this very special episode of The TARDIS Tavern, Sean and Steve rescue a kitten from a burning house and then give it away to an orphan before saving an old lady from being hit by a bus. After that, they headed over to The Magic Time Machine restaurant in beautiful (sorry, I just threw in my mouth a little) Dallas, Texas for a "live" in-person recording.
The gentlemen set their sights on "The Horror of Fang Rock," the epitome of Doctor Who meeting Hammer horror. Will there be disention among them? Or will they agree merrily that the story totally sucks or is as wonderful as the cries of a newborn?
Since this recording, Steve has announced that for the next episode, focusing on a Fifth Doctor story, we will review Red Dawn, a Big Finish production featuring Georgia Moffett and the Ice Warriorsssssssss.
Oh yeah, we also have feedback and stuff.
Speaking of feedback, please send yours to tardistavern@gmail.com, join us on Facebook, or look for Sean on Twitter as tardistavern and Steve as stevetardistvrn.

MHC #11 Amy's Choice 31.7
Mostly Harmless CutawayT minus 2 days until The Hungry Earth.
Welcome to this, the 11th Hitchhiker's Guide to the Whoverse: Mostly Harmless Cutaway. Today Eric & special guest co-host Cat (@fancyfembot) break down the newest, latest, and greatest Doctor Who episode Amy's Choice. Cat is the hostess & creater of the Sci-Fi Party Line Podcast where they talk about a currenty sci-fi in movies & television. Never fear, Megan should be returning soon as she got caught in a stray time eddy.
WARNING: This review/discussion contains very dreamy SPOILERS, ahh-choo!
Thanks so much to James (@JamesNaughton), co-host of the Doctor Who @Podshock podcast for providing this episode's intro. He's one of the kindest, most jovial, benevelont people you could ever meet in person. We certainly feel his contribution puts the York in our Peppermint Pattie. Never have you met a kinder more sincere chap in person. Please follow the twitter links to check out their podcasts although chances are you already have because they're the oldest, longest running, & most downloaded Doctor Who podcast to date.
Disclaimer: Now here's the part where we list some of Eric's pathetic factual gaffes in this week's ep, or as we like to call them: 'Intentional' production errors or Easter Eggs: 1) Eric incorrectly refers to actor Toby Jones (The Dream Lord) as Tom Jones. 2) Eric calls her Mrs. Potter rather than Mrs. Poggit. 3) When Eric was referring to the wonderful violin piece composed by @murraygold he incorrectly pointed toward Rory's exit scene. While it too contains a wonderful piece of music, it is a piano which is heard prevalently at that point. The piece with the violin is actually played backing the beautiful kiss scene - Oh my hearts -

2MTL 134: TIME DILATION - Paul Cornell on His BBC3 Pilot "Pulse" and Loving Series 5
Two-minute Time LordMemorize this Twitter hashtag: #pulsebbc3. 'Cos like Being Human before it, Paul Cornell's new pilot project — the science fiction/medical horror show Pulse (Facebook link) — has a chance to be picked up as a full series if the online reaction is strong enough. Paul talks with me about the show he scripted, and also takes me up on my invitation to gush about Doctor Who Series 5 for a bit.
(Time Dilation episodes of 2MTL put aside the two-minute format temporarily for longer interviews and such. And now you know…the rest of the story.)

Scrolls Ch 5: Fishfingers and Custard
Geek SyndicateWith 'consumate professionalism' the team finally hit their stride. No silliness or smut here, no sirree. Ahem. The subject up for grabs is pinpointing some of the more off the wall books that work in unexpected ways. Between the earnest reviews we cruelly cause Gilbert and Sullivan turn in their graves, find room for both scarecrows and tin-men (though sadly no lions or yappy-type dogs), the QI awooga makes its Scrolls debut and the Waltons are revealed to be a little more back-woodsy than were previously suspected.
If you enjoy listening to it half as much as we did recording it you'll have a ball.

TDP 127: Amy's Choice
Tin Dog PodcastIt has been five years since Amy Pond last travelled with the Doctor, and when he lands in her garden again, on the eve of the birth of her first child, she finds herself facing a heartbreaking choice - one that will change her life forever. They will have to choose which is the dream world and which is reality. Plot Leadworth, 2015. Amy Pond is stirring some custard in a bowl but starts to feel pain in her pregnant body. Rory immediately arrives on his bike (with a pony tail on his head) and Amy screams Rory's name so he can get inside thinking the baby is coming. Amy's pain then subsides and both of them are about to resume their daily lives, when the TARDIS materializes outside their kitchen window. The Doctor exits the TARDIS whilst Rory and Amy hurry to him and the TARDIS before hugs are exchanged and the Doctor stating how happy they look five years after they last travelled with him. Cast Eleventh Doctor - Matt Smith Amy Pond - Karen Gillan Rory Williams - Arthur Darvill Dream Lord - Toby Jones Mr Nainby - Nick Hobbs Mrs Poggit - Audrey Ardington Mrs Hamil - Joan Linder Production crew to be added References The Doctor reveals to Amy and Rory that he threw the TARDIS Manual at a Supernova because he 'disagreed' with it. The Dream Lord brings up the Doctor's relationship with Elizabeth I. The Dream Lord teleports himself around much like The Valeyard did in DW: The Ultimate Foe. The Dream Lord refers to The Doctor as the 'last of the Time Lords' and 'the oncoming storm', two nicknames he has been given. (DW: Doomsday, Journey's End et al.) Story notes The enemies the old folks play are a race known as the Eknodine. The Dream Lord traps the Doctor, Rory and Amy in an alternative world and Amy has to decide what is the real world. Technically, the entire episode took place in the TARDIS. The box under the TARDIS console the Doctor opens has the words: "TARDIS. Time And Relative Dimension In Space. Build Site: Gallifrey Blackhole Shipyard. Type 40. Build date: 1963. Authorised for use by qualified Time Lords only by the Shadow Proclamation. Misuse or theft of any TARDIS will result in extreme penalties and permanent exile." written on it. There is no indication of how much time has passed since DW: The Vampires of Venice. The sign outside the old peoples' home reads "SARN Residential Care Home". Sarn was the setting for DW: Planet of Fire. This is only the second episode of the series (after Time of the Angels) not to feature a Crack in time but is the first non 2 part story to not feature a crack. Ratings to be added Rumours The 'Dream Lord' was rumoured to pretend to be the Doctor because of a shot of him inside the TARDIS wearing the Eleventh Doctor's costume in the trailer. He was, in fact, the Doctor himself - at least, his dark side. Aunt Sharon will appear. This was false Filming locations to be added Production errors When Rory and Amy are running from the Eknodine you can clearly see no mud on his back, but he was thrown on his back, into mud, a minute before.It concerns a dream, that puts things in perspective.The Doctor mentions again that bow ties are cool. (DW: The Eleventh Hour) The Dream Lord refers to what happened between the Doctor and Queen Elizabeth I. (DW: The Shakespeare Code, The End of Time, The Beast Below) The Doctor initially assumes that the TARDIS has jumped a time track (DW: The Space Museum) The Doctor tries to jump start the TARDIS by kicking it. (DW: Rise of the Cybermen) The Dream Lord accuses the Doctor of abandoning his companions in favour of younger friends, echoing remarks by Sarah Jane Smith about the Tenth Doctor and his relationship with Rose Tyler. (DW: School Reunion) The Dream Lord, once alone with Amy, echoes a conversation Jackie Tyler had with the Ninth Doctor about how 'anything could happen'. (DW: Rose) After Rory dies in the dream, Amy asks the Doctor "What is the point of you?", similar to how Gwen asks the same to Jack after Rhys dies. (TW: End of Days) The swimming pool has turned up; the Doctor said that "it'll turn up" in DW: The Eleventh Hour. DVD and Blu-ray release BBC Video - Doctor Who Series Five - Volume Three will feature Amy's Choice, The Hungry Earth, Cold Blood and Vincent and the Doctor. It will be released on Monday 2nd August 2010 (UK Only) on DVD and Blu-ray.[1] External links to be added Footnotes | DWM 421, Page 18

The absence of a credit for a position doesn't necessarily mean the job wasn't required. The information above is based solely on observations of the actual end credits of the episodes as broadcast, and does not relay information from IMDB or other sources. According to a pre-launch press pack issued by the BBC, Patrick Schweitzer was actually the co-producer of this episode, but in the event, he was actually double credited -- as both a full producer and a line producer. References The Doctor's library card The Doctor The Doctor shows his Library Card to the Vampires. It has a picture of his first incarnation on it. The name on it appears to be "Dr. J. Smith." Amy describes her time with the Doctor as involving "lots of running." The Doctor gives Amy a boiled sweet. Individuals The Doctor compares the Vampires to Harry Houdini. When Rory asks why the Psychic paper says he is Amy's eunuch, she says "I'll explain later". Races and species The relationship between Calvierri and her son and their plan to convert people to become their species is similar to that of the Family of Blood who shared a close bond and took over individuals to go unnoticed. When Calvierri commits suicide she asks The Doctor if he can carry another dead race on his conscience, and to remember her, much like Davros did when he died. Technology Rosanna Calvierri uses a Perception filter. The perception filter is shown to have a self preservation loophole, making the teeth visible when the brain detects a threat. Story Notes A 90-second clip from this episode was aired during Matt Smith's appearance on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross on 26 March 2010. The Vampires are not real vampires, but are of alien origin. They are fish-like alien creatures using Perception Filters to hide themselves to other people. There was some initial confusion over the title of this story, with some media sources (as well as Matt Smith in a TV interview[1]) using the title Vampires in Venice. In the Series 5 preview, one of the vampires leap for Rory, without any change. In the actual episode, he changes to his alien form. Differences like this have happened many times from trailer to episode. The name of the species, Saturnynians, isn't spoken in the episode, though the planet Saturnyne is mentioned twice. The Saturnynian are hiding from the Cracks and the Silence. The Doctor mentions meeting Casanova. David Tennant had previously played Casanova in a television series written by Russell T Davies. This is the first Doctor Who episode that, instead of having the last scene cut to the closing titles, the closing titles 'merge' with the scene. In this case, the camera zooms into the TARDIS keyhole, and through it, the Time Vortex is visible. This episode is notable for being filmed in Croatia, and is therefore the first episode of a Doctor Who universe show to be filmed in a formerly Communist country. The Vampires of Venice contains similarities to School Reunion, also written by Toby Whithouse: Pre-titles sequence involves scene of a young girl being attacked by an alien, followed by a scene in which the Doctor appears during a mundane activity and says something rather ordinary. The companion's boyfriend joins in for the adventure and becomes part of the TARDIS crew for the following episodes. Both episodes feature scenes where two of the main characters discuss the Doctor's effect on relationships. The leader of the alien race in both episodes proposes an alliance with the Doctor. A minor character disposes of most of the aliens by causing an explosion. The alien's plan is thwarted by a simple flick of a switch. Ratings 6.2 million Filming Locations Croatia was used as the primary location for the setting of this episode. It is the third episode of the revival series after DW: The Fires of Pompeii and Planet of the Dead to include major filming outside the UK. Some filming took place in Caephilly Castle. [1] Scenes featuring The Doctor, Amy and Rory were filmed at Llancaiach Fawr. [2] Continuity The Doctor tells Rory that Amy kissed him. (DW: Flesh and Stone) Instead of his Psychic paper, the Doctor shows his library card, which includes a photo of his first incarnation. The First Doctor's library card can read out 76 TOTTERS LANE, first seen in DW: An Unearthly Child The library card lists his name as "Dr. J. Smith," presumably standing for "Dr. John Smith," a frequent alias of the Doctor's. The Fourth Doctor previously encountered vampires of a different kind in DW: State of Decay The Seventh Doctor encountered a kind of vampire known as "Haemovores", which also happened to reside in water, in DW: The Curse of Fenric. The Eighth Doctor had previously visited 23rd Century Venice in BFA: The Stones of Venice. The Doctor mentions how a life of time travel can make it difficult to readjust to a normal existence. Sarah Jane Smith told him much the same thing in DW: School Reunion. DVD and Blu-ray Releases BBC Video - Doctor Who Series Five - Volume Two will feature The Time of Angels, Flesh and Stone and The Vampires of Venice. It will be released on Monday 5th July 2010 (UK Only) on DVD and Blu-ray.[2]

Radio Free Skaro #198 - Omnipotent Space Bastard
Radio Free SkaroGiven the mixed reactions that The Three Who Rule have had about past attempts of surrealism in Doctor Who, one wouldn't expect the latest noodle-scratcher to be an episode for them to agree on. But that's just what "Amy's Choice" was, a daring and bold step into a world of dreams featuring pregnant Amys, awkward Doctors, and rampant elder abuse. Really, what's not to love? And there wasn't even one hint of The Valeyard making a return appearance. Or was there....?Check out the show notes at www.radiofreeskaro.com.

Also, Mike becomes flustered while talking about Captain Yates, Dan has something to say about the chicken-suited Kronos, and then there's Cotton. Oh, Cotton.
