"You're liable to wake up Old Nick going that deep!"

And imagine old Nick's horror when he woke up after the BBC stag do and found that someone had given him a comedy eye-patch and a joke shop scar.

But it's not just the Brig who's had an unsympathetic makeover in Inferno's alt-right universe. Cuddly Sergeant Benton is now brutal bastard Benton and lovely Liz has adopted a nasty wig and an equally nasty attitude. Professor Stahlman, of course, is equally gittish wherever you find him, but Greg Sutton's sexist tendencies have been crushed under the fascist jackboot - and he seems even less likely to achieve penetration with this particular Petra.

Throw in some technicians in wolf's clothing (and Christmas cracker teeth), a soldier shooting himself off a gasometer and lashings of automatic door porn, and we have something of a great big melting pot.

But do Jim and Martin think Inferno burns brightly or does it feel like the end of the world?

Find out here.

“A Town Called Mercy” Review

We’re heading to the Wild West this week for the 11th Doctor’s Western themed adventure and a big moral decision sits on the Doctor’s shoulders. Does this one give us enough of a rootin’ tootin’ time or fall flat faced in the sand?

Thank you guys, another jam packed show and our last one until series 10 starts on Saturday. Next week we will, obviously, be reviewing The Pilot and we’d love your thoughts on that. Until then have a great week and remember – Allons-y!

This week we cover story #136, The Twin Dilemma! The Doctor, caught up in regeneration sickness, takes Peri to the asteroid Titan III where he encounters an old friend and a sinister mystery -- what has happened to the once-beautiful world of Jaconda?

QotW: What was your favorite fifth Doctor story and why?

Listener Mailbag/So Here's the Thing.../I'd just like to take a moment...

Fifth Doctor Number-Crunching

Big Finish: THE WAR DOCTOR VOLUME 02: INFERNAL DEVICES 2.3 The NeverWhen (Charlie 8.75, Trevor 8, David 8)

Hosts:

• Trevor @WhovianTrev Trevsplace
• Charlie @insanityinchaos The Infinite Longbox The Comic Conspiracy
• David http://www.davidsafar.com/ @gwythinn MaroonedWhovian

Join us next week as we resume coverage of modern era Doctor Who with the series ten premiere, The Pilot. Please watch the episode without breaking the laws of space and time. For our audio adventure, we'll be starting THE WAR DOCTOR VOLUME 03 boxed set, entitled AGENTS OF CHAOS. We'll cover the first adventure from the set, "The Shadow Vortex". If you'd like to follow along, it's available from bigfinish.com.

David and Marty review the Tom Baker and Louise Jameson story, The Sunmakers. Marty has a whopper of a high speed segment, covering the White Wyrm by Big Finish and the first three stories of Series 7, Asylum of the Daleks, Dinosaurs on a Spaceship, and A Town Called Mercy. The guys discuss DVD extras for the Sunmakers and read listener feedback emails. Stay tuned to find out what will be coming on the next Hoo On Who!

This month we bring you our discussion of the Virgin Missing Adventure The Well-Mannered War by Gareth Roberts, author of two other Missing Adventures, The Romance of Crime and The English Way of Death, as well as the screenwriter for the television episodes "The Shakespeare Code", "The Unicorn and the Wasp", "The Lodger", and "Closing Time". From the back cover:

'Destroy them! Destroy them all - now!"

Barclow - an Earth-type planet on the fringes of space at an inestimably distant point in the future. Two factions have laid claim to it: humans from the nearby colony world of Metralubit, and a small group of Chelonian troopers. But in nearly two hundred years of conflict not one shot has been fired in anger, there are regular socials in the trenches, and the military commanders are the best of friends.

The Doctor, Romana, and K-9, arriving in the midst of these bizarre hostilities, find there's real trouble to come. A crucial election on Metralubit is looming, and K-9 is forced to begin a new career as a politician. Meanwhile, Romana meets an old friend and the Doctor discovers that a sinister hidden force may be attempting to alter the war's friendly nature.

What are the plans of Galatea, leader of the beautiful but robotic Femdroids? Who is killing soldiers on both sides of the battle lines? And will K-9's oratory save the day?

Just what is going on?

The "old friend" mentioned above happens to be Menlove Stokes, who previously appeared in Roberts' The Romance of Crime. The Well-Mannered War is notable because it is the last of the Virgin Missing Adventures, published in 1997 as the BBC was preparing to publish its own series of novels featuring past Doctors and an entirely new series with the Eighth Doctor to replace Virgin's New Adventures.

Pour yourself a tankard of Chelonian grog and sit back and relax as we discuss The Well-Mannered War!

OK, so Chip has a new podcast that he's spending more time on, and yet he can't wait until next Tuesday to respond to this Guardian column: "How Can Smug, Stale Doctor Who Get Back to its Glory Days?" Here we go…

The Daleks invade Earth for the first time of many.

Kiyan and Dylan experience the second Dalek serial and their first invasion of Earth (which went surprisingly well until The Doctor showed up). The Dalek Invasion of Earth was aired in November and December of 1964 and was written by Terry Nation.

The Arrow of Time once again arises from its slumber to bring you the news, speculations, onslaught of intentional spoilers, and the many trailers gearing up to the big opening day. It’s been quite a while for The Arrow of Time, so join, Matt, Gabe, and Joseph as they get those gears grinding toward a whole new series!

In a stunning feat of temporal ineptitude, the episode that should have been episode 85 is episode 87, and vice versa. Anyway. Tom and Louis are brought in their random wanderings to a Fourth Doctor classic, the Masque of Mandragora. Opinion is divided. But who will side with reason, and who will side with primitive superstition? Only one way to find out...

We've all done it. Facebook posts have been dedicated to discusing it. There have probably even been panels at cons on the subject. This week we tackle the topic of fantasy TARDIS crew building. Like chefs in the kitchen, we're taking a pinch of him, a dab of her, putting them together and seeing what comes out.

We are less than a week away from the premier of Series 10 of Doctor Who! Jason and Paul review the latest trailer and take a look at what we know about Series 10 so far. Its going to be a fun ride so jump in the TARDIS and let’s go!

Time runs out for Amy and Rory Pond, as The Angels Take Manhattan! Caleb, Sarah and Suzie try not to blink as we discuss Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill’s exit from Doctor Who, as well as the return of the Weeping Angels and River Song. With Amy and Rory being the longest serving companions since the series returned in 2005, is this a fitting end to their story?

Steven Moffat said “If the Ponds’ departure doesn’t make you openly weep, I haven’t done my job.” Did he succeed for you? Let us know what you thought!

After ending on a cliffhanger last week, find out how Phil, Paul and Tony escaped the evil mechanical clutches of Robot Tony!  Oh, there is also the small matter of the 2nd part of their audio commentary for The Brain of Morbius episodes 3 & 4.  So cue more Condo jokes, more passing comments on the Baker Bulge and they also muse on an adults only version of the podcast.

The lads decided not to cover any news this week and just crack on with the commentary but there is a little interlude which features a 3rd anniversary message from The Bad Wilf Podcast that arrived too late for last weeks show.
