The Diddly Dumbers are joined this week at The Whoseum by long-time listener Mark John.

His exhibits for presentation at The Whoseum include the 1977 Denys Fisher Giant Robot doll, instances of the Doctor Who world invading Marvel comics and a curious papier mache Dalek tableau with a unique link to Bagpuss.

Along the way, we pay tribute to the late Gordon Murray, Mark tells us of his unusual way of striking up a conversation with Brian Croucher by finding an experience in common, and we run down Hayden’s Top 15 jammy anecdotes.

And please take the opportunity to support the Caudwell Children’s charity, either by a direct donation or bu buying the recently released paperback edition of “Seasons of War”.

His comrades are in the form of biochips – onto which a G.I.’s entire personality is downloaded at the time of death for later retrieval – and are named Gunnar (mounted on Rogue’s rifle), Bagman (on his backpack) and Helm (on his helmet).

It's MUTTER'S SPIRAL time! This week, we discuss "The Crimson Horror", the Mark Gatiss episode featuring Dame Diana Rigg, the Paternoster Gang (Vastra, Jenny & Strax), and, oh yeah, the Doctor & Clara!

Howdy do Who fans, we’re at episode 98! Some great news items and merch then we’re going to Earth in 1983 to visit the 5th Doctor for our review of Mawdryn Undead.

The News

Peter Capaldi is up for Best Actor in this year’s TV Choice Awards. Would be great to see him pick this up so make sure you cast your vote!

Some great news for David Tennant and Steven Moffat who have both received doctorates! In their respective home towns and/or early study places they’ve both been awarded their doctorates for services to drama and acting. What an honour and great moments.

Merch

Long-time Doctor Who author John Peel is putting his quill to parchment once again as he pens the latest story in the Lethbridge-Stewart series titled The Grandfather Infestation. Good to see a classic Who writer picking up the story which is now up for pre-order.

Titan have released (rather early) the new Who range of mini figures based on the 12th Doctor. A bit hit and miss this one but a few gems in there none-the-less.

Those clever peeps at Rubbertoe Props have just released the Mini Pandorica. Scaled to the same size as the previously released Siege Mode Tardis and Power of Three Cube, it’s has the usual stunning details but also glows in the day and night! Not too bad a price either!

“Mawdryn Undead” Review

We’re fans of the 5th Doctor as you know but this lesser spoken about “Black Guardian” trilogy is an interesting one. We’re introduced to Turlough, the Brigadier is back and it’s all very timey wimey. A story to recommend or one to leave on the shelf?

Another episode down and thank you for joining us. Next week we’re looking at the 10th Doctor’s story Blink so very much looking forward to your thoughts on that one. Until than have a crackin’ week and remember – Allons-y!!

In this week’s show we have a look at the lastest episode, The Crimson Horror. Also a review of the Fourth Doctor comic story, Prisoners of Time issue 4. And as an added bonus, our thoughts on Iron Man 3 which released in the USA this weekend.

Also, some more non-news.

And of course, your feedback.

Enjoy!
