SHOWNOTES

(00:02:30) A photo of the ceiling tiles in Doc’s boyhood bedroom can be found on our Tumblr page here. Fans od “Blakes 7” will understand why it looked to him like one of their space-scapes.

(00:05:34) A photo of Hayden’s completed multi-Doctor jigsaw can be found on our Tumblr page here.

(00:06:49) For those not old enough to remember the nicotine/annual reference, an explanation can be found on our Tumblr page here.

(00:07:36) Photos of Doc’s Eaglemoss figures can be found on our Tumblr page here.

(00:09:20) Photos of Mark’s B&M figures can be found on our Tumblr page here.

(00:13:05) Photos of Hayden’s B&M figures can be found on our Tumblr page here.

(00:13:38) The Goodies Pirate Podcast can be found here.

(01:02:20) If you haven’t already sent us your Top 5 Fave Eleventh Doctor stories for our Matt Smith retrospective, you can still do so. The easiest way is probably to reply to this tweet. Please remember that two-parters like “Time of Angels”/”Flesh and Stone” count as a single story for voting purposes and that we are treating the 50th anniversary special, “Day of the Doctor” as a Matt Smith story.

OldWho and New Who talk about a great Doctor Who story. OldWho is always happy when we get see Sarah Jane Smith again.  Also some reflection on Revolution of the Daleks 3 weeks out. Love when NewWho has a stream of consciousness tangent

It's a post-series 8 ramblethon with Matt and David this week. The lack of a fresh story to discuss perhaps inevitably results in a lot of food talk, but there's also plenty of analysis (and pointless ranking) as they look back on the Twelfth Doctor's inaugural series. Plus more "Alien Arena" and a quiztastic look back at the birth of our unique rating system.

This week my classic series re-watch reaches Doctor Who: Paradise Towers, a story that if remade now would definitely be better and scarier.

É claro que a gente gosta de assistir Doctor Who para se divertir. Mas a gente também sabe que tem muito episódio com uma mensagem maior por trás. A ficção científica é terreno fértil para tratar desses temas sensíveis e importantes de forma inteligente!
Afinal, será que Doctor Who só ficou politizado agora? Séries e filmes deveriam ser apenas escapismo? Vem papear com a gente sobre esse tema mais atual do que nunca e debater como o fato da franquia ser politizada não é algo ruim!

For the next three weeks, we are presenting some archive content in the leadup to our three-part Miniscope on the works of director Rachel Talalay.

Back in the spring of 2016, Rachel Talalay joined us to participate in director’s commentaries for both “Heaven Sent” and “Hell Bent” on Radio Free Skaro episodes 533 and 534. Here now is the commentary for “Hell Bent”.

And join us on January 24 for Part Two of our Miniscope on director Rachel Talalay when we look at “Heaven Sent” and “Hell Bent”.

Welcome to the fourth episode of the podcast we’re dropping on the feed every month in between our regular monthly shows.

Normally Rob sits down with his co-host Dave, or a guest, to talk about letters from classic issues of Doctor Who Magazine.

In today's podcast, however, Dave is presenting letters to Rob from a classic issue of Sonic Screwdriver - the fanzine of the Victorian Doctor Who Fan Club.

This is Doctor Who without a safety net. The conversations could go anywhere the guest wants them to go.

This is Primary Sources.

Really riding this bean trend a little late.

Are we all ready to hear the story about the beans? You know the beans that I bought the other day? Well I bought some beans, and I took them home. And then I put them in my pantry. And that’s it. That’s the whole story. It’s better than getting invaded by aliens anyway. Speaking of which, it’s Children of Earth: Day Three, written by Russell T. Davies and aired on July 8, 2009.

Show-notes:
7:42: The original “Bean Dad” threads have been deleted, but here’s a summary from the BBC.
