It's a little windy in the Pharos studio/spare bedroom this week, as the projecteers look at the fart-fest that is "Aliens of London".

Please keep the feedback coming in. We need your offerings for Manilow's bag and any thoughts on films or series you would like us to cover.

Also, our competition to win a Doctor Who 2011 annual is still open. Entries and feedback should be directed at pharos.project@yahoo.co.uk or @pharosproject on the twits.

Lastly, in what we believe to be a podcast first, we proudly present LIVE CAT SHEARING!

This week's secret word is Harris.

Hello! We're Erik and Sean, and we've decided to start yet another Doctor Who podcast. Given that there are already more DW podcasts than there are companions, you may well wonder what the hell we're thinking.

Well, we're doing something a little different. We're not going to discuss the new episodes, or review classic stories, or do funny commentaries, or discuss Big Finish audios, and we're not even going to try to pretend to keep you informed on the news. Simply put, we want to look at the (non-canonical?) Doctor Who universe that's been created in books over the past 20 or so years by a vast array of talented writers and try to bring these books to a wider audience. A journey through space and time with no budgets to constrain and no unions to call a strike--sounds pretty awesome, doesn't it?

Never read a DW novel before? Neither has Erik. Long-time and devoted reader of the various series? So is Sean. Either way, you should read along with us for our first assignment and whenever you can thereafter. Speaking of which...

For our first selection, we've chosen The Sorcerer's Apprentice by Christopher Bulis (ISBN: 0426204476), a 1st Doctor story that was released in June 1995 as part of the Virgin Missing Adventures line, which featured stories about former Doctors that took place in the gaps between the continuity of the classic series. This story features the very first TARDIS crew (Ian, Barbara and Susan) and is set between the sadly lost "Marco Polo" and the very much still with us "Keys of Marinus."

Cover blurb:

‘There’s no such thing as magic,’ the Doctor said.
 
But the land of Elbyon might just prove him to be wrong. It is a place, populated by creatures of fantasy, where myth and legend rule. Elves and dwarves live in harmony with mankind, wizards wield arcane powers and armoured knights battle monstrous dragons. 

Yet is seems that Elbyon has secrets to hide. The TARDIS crew find a relic from the thirtieth century hidden in the woods. Whose sinister manipulations are threatening the stability of a once peaceful lane? And what part does the planet play in a conflict that may save an Empire, yet doom a galaxy?
To solve these puzzles, and save his companions, the Doctor must learn to use the sorcery whose very existence he doubts. 

Sounds fun, doesn't it? So, find a copy and read along.

It's CLASSIC Doctor Who week as John & Will chat about the Tom Baker story "The Horror of Fang Rock". It's the only Tom Baker story that John hasn't seen, and good discussion ensues. Also, trivia and a LOT of news from the WHO-niverse about Torchwood, David Tennant and his ladies (professional and personal), awards season and SHERLOCK.

And, for next time, well, DON'T BLINK. DON'T EVEN BLINK.

Randy takes a break from the show until the premiere of Series 6, but in the meantime Scott is joined by new co-host Matt Smith as the two discuss the classic series beginning with the William Hartnell 7-part serial ‘The Daleks’. The Doctor, along with companions Susan, Ian, and Barbara, arrive on the seemingly dead planet of Skaro, but soon get caught in the middle of a struggle between the two only surviving species: the Daleks and the Thals. Can the Doctor persuade the pacifist Thals to fight against the xenophobic Daleks? When do basic rope safety techniques come in handy on Skaro? Why is Barbara suddenly wearing Thal pants? Find out in this episode of The Doctor’s Companion. And remember, BEWARE OF SPOILERS!

Next Week: Patrick Troughton and ‘The Invasion’!!

Out of all the guest bartenders who have graced us in The TARDIS Tavern, perhaps there's no one we've anticipated more than John of the Cyber Testicle Podcast.  Imagine our delight when John could finally join us over a few pints and discuss Doctor Who.  The only drawback, of course, is that we had to partake at 10:00 a.m. our time (2:00 p.m. John's time).  Oh well, at least it was Saturday.

Every year or so Big Finish, who is constantly reminding us that "subscribers get more," plops out a special episode available only to those who took a second mortgage on their house to become subscribers.  Fortunately, the tavern's library is constantly being upgraded with Big Finish releases (I wish I could call them "review copies"...hint, hint, Nick Briggs) and, of course, Mr. Testicle himself is always equipped with the latest.  So this time around we feature a spoiler-free review of The Four Doctors, the latest free blowjob from Big Finish.

Remember back in Episode 34 when we refrained from swearing to avoid tainting a 13-year-old's ears?  Well, we kind of made up for that in Episode 35.  The explicit tag was never so appropriate.

Join us on Facebook (we're almost up to 100 friends!), email us your thoughts at tardistavern@gmail.com, or follow Sean's drunken ramblings on Twitter via @tardistavern.

Setting the wayback machine all the way… um, back… to Radio Free Skaro #230 you’ll remember the lads had the Randomizer throw them a curve ball in the shape of Dick Mills as a miniscope subject. As those familiar with the sound design of Doctor Who are aware, Mills is the most-credited person on the show thanks to his long tenure with the Radiophonic Workshop. Where to begin? What to discuss? The only answer was to bring in a ringer in the form of Radiophonic Workshop archivist and Doctor Who composer in his own right, Mark Ayres. Settle in with your Doctor Who sound effects LP, a nice hot beverage, and join not one but two special guests in this episode of Radio Free Skaro as we also have Chip from the Two-minute Time Lord sit in Warren’s seat for some tantalizing nerdery.

Doctor Who is anti-American? That's not exactly what Oklahoma City University professor Mark DiPaolo said in his Journal of Popular Culture article, but his assertions about the show's politics made some interesting fodder for BBC Radio 4's Thinking Allowed. Does this family SF show have a political point of view worth exploring…?
