Happy New Year! Here's a glimpse at some of the bits that didn’t go quite as planned

The post B095 The 2023 New Year’s Eve Bloops appeared first on Who Back When | A Doctor Who Podcast.

It’s The Church on Ruby Road, written by Russell T. Davies and originally aired on December 25, 2023.

Show-notes:
1:23: To preempt me from a minute later in the episode, here’s the Independent article explaining what I’m talking about.
3:48: No, my memory is awful, I was born in 1996 and this makes me 13 not 10 in 2009. Silly me.
4:42: Here’s a wikipedia page about 1969 for you.
8:58: Idk here’s the very first link about oranges in Christmas stockings in the UK.
21:48: here’s the TARDIS Wiki page on the 15th Doctor’s Sonic
23:58: Not to worry, I have the video of Ncuti explaining his sonic for you.
26:13: I mean, technically kilts have purses.
32:13: Here’s that Moose wikipedia page for everyone too lazy to find it themselves.
40:27: The goblins were practical effects believe it or not.
1:04:56: Tell me I’m not crazy, please, you can hear the breathing in the theme right? Here, listen! You might actually wonder why we don’t have the breathing in the outro to THIS episode, that is, Trust Your Doctor. It’s because I ripped the audio for our intro and outro from the live orchestra performance premiere of the theme.
1:20:25: You can check out that episode of Delayed Replay where I appeared to talk about Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

Summary:

Adam J Purcell, Andy Simpkins and Keith Dunn sit down, doubled, in front of 2023 Doctor Who story ‘Wild Blue Yonder’, and spout our usual nonsense!

The robot is slow working, Donna’s arms are too long and the Doctor is slack jawed. But enough of their problems, please sit down with us to enjoy Wild Blue Yonder…

It's New Year's Eve everybody, and after many weeks of talking about brand-new Doctor Who episodes from the 60th Anniversary and Christmas specials, we now turn our gaze back in time - to 1981 - and K-9 and Company: A Girl's Best Friend.

Have you seen this before? Do you think it deserves the criticism it gets from some? Or is there more to it? In today's episode, we examine the story. In addition, of course, we have all the usual news, short topics and listener feedback, too. 

Tune in, drop out, and contact us anytime, hello@theDWshow.net

We hope you had a great year and a happy holiday season!  We close out the year and Season 7 with writer/director Robert Valentine!  Rob joins us to discuss his work at Big Finish, what it's like to win an award from the BBC, and his thoughts on the 60th Anniversary specials.

Then Rob invites us to tea to talk all about his Pick of the Month, the classic 80s TV version of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple starring Joan Hickson.  We ask why this is such an important show to him, the differences of the many actresses who've played Miss Marple, and delve into three of his most favorite adventures.

Thanks for listening this year!  We'll see you next month!

After “The Church on Ruby Road,” there should be no question that Ncuti Gatwa will master the role of The Doctor. However, we do need to address the fact that this is now a show with goblins and flying wooden ships….

Once again, it's time to share a few highlights from the past year of Something Who as we bring you a compilation from our episodes in 2023.

And there's a lot to choose from. In addition to our regular presenting team of Richard, Paul, Giles and Simon, we had a lot of guests this year, including Tim Burrows from The Missing Episodes podcast on our 10th anniversary discussion of the Omnirumour. We chatted to an actual Doctor Who writer in Matthew Jacobs, along with Vanessa Yuille, who together made the wonderful fan film Doctor Who Am I? Both Matthew and Vanessa were almost upstaged by a pneumatic drill, but saw the funny side.

We spoke with Steve Manfred about his friendship and collaboration with writer Neil Gaiman. Elizabeth Morton spoke with us about her family connections to Doctor Who, as well as her writing career. And Benjamin Cook, Rich Tipple and Timothy K Brown discussed their work on colourising the first Dalek story for the 60th anniversary.

We hope you enjoy these clips and, if you do, please peruse our back catalogue for the full versions of all of these items and perhaps you'd like to leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or similar platform.

The opening music is Three Guitars Mood 2 and, yes, that is Richard playing the ukulele and kazoo on possibly the worst ever version of the Doctor Who theme tune at the end.

Doctor Who Am I? is widely available in the UK on DVD and Blu-ray https://www.amazon.co.uk/Doctor-Who-Am-I-Blu-ray/dp/B0BGPYV3SD/, also on Amazon Prime: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Doctor-Who-Am-Daphne-Ashbrook/dp/B0B8Q734H3/, and ITVX https://www.itv.com/.

Tim's podcast Doctor Who: The Missing Episodes Podcast is essential listening for anyone interested in this topic and can be found here: https://missingepisodes.podbean.com/

Elizabeth Morton's latest novel, written as Eliza Morton, is The Orphans from Liverpool Lane, a Pan paperback described as "A warm yet gritty saga set in Liverpool in the 1940s from the acclaimed author of Angel of Liverpool." You can get it from your bookseller of choice, or this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Orphans-Liverpool-Lane-heartwarming-emotional-ebook/dp/B0BM9VN5CT 

Simon Guerrier has written a fantastic book about Doctor Who's first Story Editor entitled "David Whitaker in an Exciting Adventure with Television" which you'll want to order here: https://tenacrefilms.bigcartel.com/product/david-whitaker-in-an-exciting-adventure-with-television

In the UK you can find The Daleks in Colour on the BBC iPlayer here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001snnz/doctor-who-19631996-season-1-the-daleks-in-colour

The pneumatic drill can be found doing a variety of construction related work in the state of California, while dreaming of an ongoing role in podcasting,

Our cover art was designed for us by Bea Garrido. She's a really talented artist, who you can find on Twitter using @BeaGarrido00, where, among other artworks, you can get hold of the prints of some remarkable paintings of characters from Doctor Who.

What did we think of the 2023 Doctor Who Christmas Special? What did we think of the new Doctor? Why are you reading this? Hit play already!

rest in peace, Richard Franklin. 1936-2023.

P. S. We ran into a copyright issue around our theme, so excuse the music jump while we come up with an alternative.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or the greeting of your choice.  It is time for a new Christmas Special, a new Doctor in Ncuti Gatwa, a new companion, and the beginning of a new era of Doctor Who.  Ross, Melvin and Jeff talk gobblins, scores, Gwar, Capone, singing in Doctor Who and a bit more. 

#DoctorWho #TARDIS #Gwar #Capone #BBC #TheDoctor 

Toni and Joe are joined by Vincent E.L. and Brad Heath to discuss Babygirl Tennant, meme warfare, and how Christmas tries to kill you in the Doctor Who episode The Christmas Invasion.
