Latest Podcast Episodes

What you are about to hear is the story of a connection, a connection that was made between a television series and a viewer's life.

The You and Who books are the story of that connection, as told by the people who watch the programmes that make us come alive. Chiefly, of course, Doctor Who.

This podcast will relate some of the stories from those books... and beyond.

In this episode:

Mr Sutcliffe, Jesus and an Interesting Ornament: Badger by Owl-light by Phil Cannon

With an introduction featuring Rob Irwin talking to JR Southall.

The You and Who books, from which all royalties are paid to charity, are available in print and for Kindle, from watchingbooks.weebly.com

Steven and Erika are joined by a couch interloper! Annette Wierstra provides a slightly new-Whoish perspective on this, the origin of the Cybermen. We also chat about the series 10 finale and the trailer for the 2017 Christmas special.

It’s a truly momentous episode. We have completed the William Hartnell era, and the timing is perfect to tie in with the current series. Just…wow.

Hey Who fans. Normal service is resumed so we're into some news, merch and our review of the Hartnell story The Ark. First, a run down of our cool weekend at London Film and Comic Con...

The News

One bit of news this week - apparently David Tennant is the most popular Doctor on eBay.

Merch Corner

Dalek Tat this week brings us a retro Audio Annual and some exclusive SDCC Titans.

"The Ark" Review

It feels great to be getting back into Classic Who and what better way than visiting the 1st Doctor. The Ark is a Series 3 four parter full of hilarious aliens - the Monoids, plenty of scheming and a belter of a cliffhanger. We like this one or is it like watching it with one eye?

Thank you for listening you lot, it's been awesome getting back into it. Next week it's Donna's first story The Runaway Bride. Until then have a great week and remember - Allons-y!

Sean and Steve are joined by Mike Erickson of DFW Whofest who serves up a helping of tea and shade talking about his personal experiences running cons. SEE Peter Davison eat a whole bowl of queso! HEAR Mark Strickson drunkenly slur his words! SMELL Colin Baker in the sweltering Texas heat!

Oh, and we may just have time in the end to talk about "Kill the Moon". (Spoilers: IT'S ABOUT ABORTION!)

Send email that we'll probably read out loud to tardistavern@gmail.com and also check out our Facebook page, which is as burgeoning as a pubescent teen!

JC and Rita are back with a jam packed episode! DragonCon Media Director Dan Carroll joins the dynamic duo to give us the latest on DragonCon. Plus we talk Valerian, War for the Planet of the Apes, Doctor Who, Stranger Things and so much more!

It's Target time again and this time Phil and Paul have selected the behemoth that is The War Games by Malcom Hulke. So how can a 10 episode TV story translate into a very short book? Well, it appears that Paul and Phil have a difference of opinion on this one with topics such as characters that go nowhere, acting that is distracting, disappointment at the author and whether this book is best read while eating your favourite ice cream.

And in the news, the casting of Jodie Whittaker continues to be debated, the title of the Christmas Special is revealed, is Shada getting the animated treatment and the sad passing of Deborah Watling and Trevor Baxter.

MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast is excited to have Kayti Burt, Associate Editor of Den of Geek, join us to discuss her time at this year's San Diego Comic Con! 2017 SDCC featured a great Doctor Who panel with Peter Capaldi, Pearl Mackie, Matt Lucas, Michelle Gomez, Mark Gatiss, and, of course, head writer and showrunner Steven Moffat. They discussed the upcoming Christmas special "Twice Upon a Time" as well as the end of their era of Doctor Who. Kayti was at the panel AND did press interviews with everyone, so we're thrilled to have her back to share her experiences!

We'll also talk about the Britbox Classic Doctor Who panel with Colin Baker, Sophie Aldred, and Peter Davison, all of whom she interviewed, and the controversial remarks from Mr. Davison about the naming of the new Doctor, Jodie Whittaker.

Kayti will share her thoughts about Jodie Whittaker's taking over the reins of WHO, plus we'll talk about some of other shows she covered at SDCC, including Outlander, The Expanse, and BIG FAVORITE of both John and me, WYNONNA EARP.

It's a really fun and informative interview, and we hope you enjoy it!

This episode sadly starts on a more somber note, as we note the passing of two important members of the Whovian family - Deborah Watling, who delighted us all as Victoria Waterfield, companion to Second Doctor, and Trevor Baxter, Professor George Litefoot of "The Talons of Weng-Chiang" as well as the highly successful audio series "Jago & Litefoot" for Big Finish.

We'll have additional tributes to Ms. Watling over the next two weeks, as we will be both reposting our review of "Tomb of the Cybermen", one of her most famous stories, as well as posting a new review of "Web of Fear".

In this week’s episode, we rejoin Lethbridge-Stewart in the Candy Jar Books series named for him, this time with a review of Night of the Intelligence by Andy Frankham-Allen. We explore what becomes some closure to a story arc that started nearly two years ago in the series.

Also, we’ll look at the short story – The Runaway Bomb by Nick Walters. Find out what we thought about this tale that is also part of the bigger picture in the Lethbridge-Stewart series on books.

Plus, one news item this week.

Enjoy!

Hello! It's been quite a month in Doctor Who and its associated fandom and Rob and Dave take their usual monthly dive into it all.

Today's episode - broadly - covers:

NU-WHO: Davogate. What happened? What do Rob and Dave make of it? And how do we feel about Whittaker's casting, two weeks on?

CLASSIC WHO: Debbie Watling and Trevor Baxter pass away.

NU-WHO: The Christmas Special trailer has dropped. How does it look? Is Mark Gatiss playing a character of note?

CLASSIC WHO: Dave's got his hands on the Emperor of the Daleks comic book collection. Hear him rave about it.

NU-WHO: Rob's reading the final three 12th Doctor novels from BBC Books. Diamond Dogs has been read and he's now into Plague City.

CLASSIC WHO: Dave's randomly picked The Twin Dilemma off his bookshelf, watched it, and survived. How? Why? Hear his thoughts.

CLASSIC WHO: Have you seen 'The Doctors' DVDs? These are the old Myth Makers videos cleaned up and released on DVD. Give them a try!

CLASSIC WHO/NU-WHO: Our main topic for this episode is Doctor Who writers (both classic and nu), who only wrote one or two stories (three at the most), but whose output is regarded as among the best the series has ever produced. Features listener suggestions from: Ezra Penny, Matthew Thomas Young, Mike Solko, Christopher Bryant, Richard Nolan, and Steven B. Thanks for your thoughts, guys.

FINALLY: Some listener feedback from Kenny Davidson as we wrap up, relating to Whittaker's casting, along with a few recent iTunes reviews. Our topic next episode will be what stories did we not get/really dislike as kids, but which we adore as adults? Feel free to send your thoughts on that topic to the usual address(es).

Thanks everyone, as always, for listening. We greatly appreciate your ears, your emails and your tweets and, if you really want to make our day, why not leave us an iTunes review sometime?

See you next month...!
