Latest Podcast Episodes

Sadly late on the day I returned to the UK from LA the news broke about Nick Courtney's death, I only met Nick a couple of times so I start by bringing a few memories to you.

Also this week the Fans behaving badly panel from Gallifrey One, a discussion inspired by the controversy around the character of Ianto Jones's death in Torchwood. That did of course happen back in 2009 so this is a more general discussion of how fans treat writers both online and in real life, I warn you it does get quite dark.

End theme tune is a remix of the Doctor Who Theme by Tony Gallichan of The Flashing Blade Podcast, Tony can be contacted here show@flashingblade.org.uk

The world of Doctor Who lost one of its icons this past week, and all fans are mourning the passing of our beloved Brigadier, Nicholas Courtney. The highs from Gallifrey came crashing down as the news of Courtney’s death hit earlier in the week, and it was only fitting that a Courtney tribute episode be recorded. We welcomed Doctor Who script editor, New Adventures author and Doctor Who Magazine editor, Big Finish producer and life-long Doctor Who fan Gary Russell on the show to reminisce about his experiences with the wonderful Mr. Courtney. Please join us as we remember Sir Alastair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, the man who portrayed him as well as cover the news of the week.

We're in full-on Time Dilation mode, all right, as I catch up on some of the reflections on last weekend's Gallifrey One 22 convention. Chicks Dig Time Lords co-editor Tara O'Shea and I talk about fandom, feminism and the digital world the next generation of Doctor Who fans inhabits. Then, I spend some time with the longtime volunteer whom I helped excavate the convention's official TARDIS: actor, comedian and Gallifrey One auctioneer and master of ceremonies Tadao Tomomatsu.

Regular two-minute podcasts will return soon!

This time we look at The Dalek Invasion of Earth. There's also a couple of Big Finish reviews by our listeners. Enjoy. Feedback to show@flashingblade.org.uk

How do you do? Allow me to introduce you to The Cloister Room episode 017, "Robots? Clones? Robot Clones?" On it, we have much to say about the third and fourth episodes of Big Finish's Eighth Doctor Adventures series, "The Horror of Glam Rock" and "Immortal Beloved." We then have some rather heated discussion about the last few episodes of Caprica.

 Next week, we'll be looking at the classic William Hartnell story "The Daleks," and the Peter Cushing film adaptation, "Dr. Who and the Daleks." We'll also talk about the news on some upcoming new television projects.

Have aspirations of Starting Out as writer?  Want to hear the experiences of veterans and newly established authors?  Look no further.

Seizing the unique opportunity provided by the SFX Weekender this year, we collected an array of interviews from authors at various stages of their careers for your aural delectation.  We probe into achieving a publishable standard through proof-readers and tinkering, the benefits (and not) of Agents, and dealing with rejection; gleaning insights along the way on their writing and editorial processes and the mysterious mechanics of the publishing world.

Huge thanks to the contributing authors for their time and their trust.  If you have enjoyed their work, or if you would like to ask them any follow up questions having heard these interviews, please post messages at the following sites:

Joe Abercrombie - http://www.joeabercrombie.com/

Authors by and large get very little direct feedback from their readers, so make their day and show them your love (and if you've enjoyed this episode of Scrolls, for goodness sake let them know that as well.  It will increase the likelihood of them letting the bald-nutter-with-the-tiny-microphone interview them again in future.)

We will be recording Part 2 in early March, with the Scrolls team discussing topics spinning off from these interviews.  If you have anything occur to you that you'd like us to specifically discuss please contact us in the usual manner tweeting @scrollscast, posting on the forums at www.gsforums.co.uk or e-mailing us atscrolls@hotmail.co.uk

Keep writing.  And, er, reading.

And listening to us.  Obviously...

Steve’s plans of releasing an episode a day for Gally 22 was sabotaged by a massive amount of alcohol.  Saturday morning starts off with the Tavern boys bright eyed and bushy tailed.  The next recording is on the subsequent day.  Hung-over and a lot worse for the wear they discuss their previous day adventures.

Arthurian legend invades our dimension but Scott and Matt are loving it in the Sylvester McCoy 4-part serial “Battlefield”. The Doctor and his companion Ace are pulled to modern day England just as Morgaine and her son Mordred arrive from an alternate dimension to unleash a powerful creature that will devour our world. Can the Doctor join forces with a retired Brigadier to stop their evil plot? Why do they believe the Doctor is actually the sorcerer Merlin? Has the Brigadier stayed as fancy as ever? Did the Doctor just use a Jedi mind trick? Find out in the newest episode of The Doctor’s Companion! And remember, BEWARE OF SPOILERS!!

Next Week: Paul McGann and “The Movie”!!
