Waffle On Christmas Special.

Hello and Merry Christmas to you all. Its Christmas time and why not settle back and enjoy our Christmas special. On this show Meds talks with Woody (Simon Wood), Ray (David Ray) and Chris (Chris Powell) all about television ad films shown on British television. Obviously because we are enjoying beers and mince pies the whole show goes off on a complete waffle. We've carefully edited any swear words but please note we do waffle on pretty quickly.

We also announce our competition winner. Last episode we asked what was Meds and kells combined weight, well the answer was 164kgs and our winner, Katrin from Berlin gave her answer as 163.67kgs so pretty darn close. Here is a picture of our competition winner with her prize of the Stargaxer CD from Rick Moyer ( www.takehimwithyou.com ) and some chocolate from us here at Waffle On which you can buy from ( www.williescarcao.com )

Massive thanks to Woody, Chris and Ray for joining me. Big thanks also go to Rick Moyer for giving us his excellent CD for the competition.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM WAFFLE ON

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM WAFFLE ON

With their maiden voyage of The Doctor’s Companion, hosts Scott and Randy take time to discuss their history with the longest running sci-fi series ever, Doctor Who. From there, attention is turned to David Tennant’s run as the tenth incarnation of The Doctor, as well as Russell T. Davies rein as showrunner, coming to an end. What does the future hold for The Doctor? What will new showrunner Steven Moffat and actor Matt Smith bring to the Tardis? All of this is discussed and much much more on the first episode of The Doctor’s Companion, the newest podcast from Geekshow Entertainment.

Carrying on from the last episode, Steve proudly displays one of his favorite -- if not his ultimate favorite! -- episode, "Enlightenment."  Steve attempts to enlighten Sean on the story's merits, and Sean generally scratches his head as if it had a dead bird planted on it. Naturally, discussion is made regarding Captain Wrack's rack and the gratuitous use of terrible and immature jokes.

Will Steve persuade Sean to save the Doctor?  Or will Sean instead choose enlightenment?  All will be revealed...
