There are no shortage of short story reviews in this week’s episode. First we tackle the collection of Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart stories in the recently released HAVOC Files 4. We examine the stories in the set NOT released as individual titles throughout the year.

Then, we move to two stories released in recent weeks. First it’s “What’s Past is Prologue” by David McIntee.

And then we review “The Note” by Andy Frankham Allen.

All manner of Doctors are discussed on this weeks edition of The Doctor Who Podcast.

Tom, Leeson and Michele talk Capaldi, Tennant, Smith, Troughton, Baker.  I am sure even Trevor Martin gets mentioned, at least once.

Quite a packed little episode topped off by a review from Ian and Michele of Big Finish‘s Fourth Doctor and Leela story, The Crooked Man.

Enjoy.

Christian Cawley is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

On this week’s podKast, Christian Cawley and James McLean discuss 10 reasons why new Doctor Who star Peter Capaldi is going to be awesome.

The podKast team really think it’s time to share the love for a man who is possibly one of the most accomplished performers to take the role (he’s got an Oscar, you know!) and in light of the noisy naysayers with their shallow ageist attitude, the fightback starts right here.

We also spend a few moments discussing the Fourth Doctor, with news that both Matthew Waterhouse and Tom Baker are interested in reuniting in a Big Finish drama, and that Tom’s Doctor tops the eBay Doctor Who merchandise sales chart.

Along with our recommendations, we’ve also got an impassioned plea from Christian who is exasperated by the actions of certain fans looking for nude photos of Jenna Coleman and Karen Gillan…

As for Brian Terranova – well, who knows where he got to…

We're back after a long hiatus to begin our discussion of "The Web Planet," starting with the first two episodes, "The Web Planet" and "The Zarbi". After a long time away, starting here was... maybe.. not... the beeessstttt... Oh well, we made it through and you can finally join us once more for beep ants, bee men, lots of blinking, arm-napping, questionable noises, and the wanton destruction of a perfectly good tie-belt!

Happy New Year! MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast is back for its 150th episode, a discussion of the DOCTOR WHO Series 6 (32) episode, "The God Complex", written by Toby Whithouse and directed by Nick Hurran. We missed this episode on its original airing, during one of our (many) hiatus... hiatuses... hiati?, and it dovetails nicely with #148 on "The Horns of Nimon", so it gets that coveted spot as the sesquicentennial podcast!

"God Complex" is an intriguing mix of creepy mystery/horror combined with a philosophical examining of our core faith/beliefs (be it in religion or other outside forces, or, in the case of Amy, the Doctor himself). It features a Minotaur at the center of a maze, but a very different one from classic Greek Mythology (or even "Nimon", which is namechecked in this story, thus the idea to link this with "Horns of Nimon").

We dive deep in the story and its various elements, discussing what worked and what could have been fleshed out more. We talk about the excellent guest cast, the denouement with the Doctor saying goodbye (apparently) to Amy & Rory, and even discussion about what the Doctor saw, which was a mystery at the time, but is actually revealed in the episode in a very clever way (and ultimately very clearly revealed in "The Time of the Doctor").

John has some great trivia as well, which is such a key part of our podcast! It's a really fun discussion that we hope you'll enjoy!

Ok so the commentary itself isn't monstrous. Nor is the episode. The amount of whiskey consumed while commentating...? Join Deb and Erika as they do a live-from-Deb's-couch, in-person commentary! (recorded in November, 2017, during Erika's epic US vacation-adventure)
