  From the recent past to the far future, the Doctor, Harry and Naomi find themselves battling foes old and new. From the malevolence of the Master to the traps of the Toymaker, danger lurks round every corner... and sometimes in the last shape you'd expect... 13.3 Matryoshka by Aurora Fearnley (2 parts) When a strange force drags the TARDIS to Earth, it's clear that the Doctor, Harry and Naomi are up against an incredibly powerful being. And when they encounter Lord Pearson, inventor of games and toys, searching for his vanished daughter... it becomes clear exactly who that being might be. Hide and seek is one of the simplest games devised by man... but in the hands of The Toymaker... it may also become the deadliest. 13.4 The Caged Assassin by Matthew Sweet (2 parts) It's very unusual to find a tiger in the TARDIS. But it’s even more unusual to find one heavily dosed in radiation. But this is far from the most unusual occurrence the Doctor, Naomi and Harry are going to encounter today. Because they are about to meet Charles Jamrach, supplier of exotic animals to the rich and royal, who is unaware that his famous menagerie conceals a deadly terror. A strange creature out for blood... 13.5 Metamorphosis by Lisa McMullin (2 parts) The people of the planet Jaxus are vanishing. When the Doctor and his friends land, Naomi is snatched away by a mysterious fog and taken to a prison run by a very old foe of the Doctor's. The Master is here and he has, as ever, a sinister scheme underway... but neither Naomi nor Harry know who he is... Can the Doctor stop his plans and rescue the prisoners? Or will his companions inadvertently aid his enemy's plans? **Please note: the collector's edition CD box set is strictly limited to 1,500 copies.**

In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast....

Review - The Fearmonger

This time, Phil and Paul travel back to the year 2000 and the early days of Big Finish with The Fearmonger starring Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred. With a story that was set 22 years ago, and with themes that are scarily relevant to the recent political climate in the UK, both of them are left pondering exactly who is the the Fearmonger of the story?

They also discuss the recent furore of Ncuti Gatwa boldly announcing on a chatshow recording that he will be filming Season 3 next year, only for it to be quickly cut out of transmission. So this leads the pair of them to disappear down the rabbit hole of ratings and also discuss the fate of shows on streaming services.

#DoctorWho #Whoniverse

This time Something Who tackles the somewhat complex problem of flares in the 1970s (and next time circa 2010).

So we've recruited the eminent Simon Guerrier to join our ranks once more, alongside regular Giles, returning guest Rick and the ever present Richard to talk about 4th Doctor story The Ark In Space from Season 12, which in the next episode we'll pair with 11th Doctor story The Beast Below from Series 5.

Please like or share our podcast with people who will enjoy it, so we can build our listener base high for happiness. You can rate us directly on Apple Podcasts or Podchaser.com

Simon has written two recent books: The Story of the Solar System: A Visual Journey, which he wrote with Maggie Aderin-Pocock https://www.amazon.co.uk/Story-Solar-System-Visual-Journey/dp/1785949209/ and Doctor Who: The Time-Travelling Almanac: The Official Guide to the Doctor’s Year https://www.amazon.co.uk/Doctor-Who-Time-Travelling-Almanac-Official/dp/1785949179/

Rick posts on social media as @brickpandorica, where you can find fantastic pictures of his Lego models beautifully encapsulating Doctor Who moments.

Giles has 2 new children's books out: Can We Live on Mars? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mind-Mappers-Mappers-Making-Difficult-Understand/dp/B0C65GDB4G/ and Spin to Survive: Deep Space Danger https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spin-Survive-Destiny-Pop-Out-Fortune/dp/0711287767/

Richard has another podcast with co-hosts Emily & Nicola, called "If It's Hurting, It's not Working" and it's a fun and informative look at work - why we work, how we work, and what makes a great job. Go to https://ifhurtnotwork.podbean.com/ and https://ifhurtnot.work for more.

The Something Who logo, which features prominently on all our cover art was designed for us by Bea Garrido. She's a really talented artist, who you can find by following this link: https://beagarridoart.weebly.com/, where you can buy prints of some remarkable paintings of characters from Doctor Who.

Although we've provided Amazon links for convenience, Simon's and Giles' books can be found at all good bookshops (and a few bad ones).

We remain off the boards for one more week, to discuss not a Target Doctor Who novelization, but rather a new publication from ⁠Panini Comics⁠. It's The Return of the Daleks (purchase link: ⁠here⁠), a compilation of the Doctor-less backup strips from the earliest days of Doctor Who Weekly/Doctor Who Monthly/DWM. The compilation features commentary from Paul Scoones -- who joins us this week to discuss not only this new book, but also ⁠the TSV novelizations⁠, high-quality fan-made novelizations of five 1970s/'80s Doctor Who TV serials which, for rights reasons, were never novelized by Target during the line's original run.

This week, Tom Salinsky joins us for a World War III–adjacent chat in Madeupistan, while a global apocalypse is self-organising somewhere in Yorkshire. Also, some scary people keep trying to invite us to a free Bible study. It’s The Pyramid at the End of the World.

Notes and links

Brendan compares Extremis to Star Trek: Voyager’s Course: Oblivion, which also kills its entire regular cast. Nathan and Joe were not kind to this episode when they watched if for Untitled Star Trek Project.

Tom refers to his own less-than-enthusiastic review of Extremis in a blog post from way back in 2017.

Joe 90 was a Gerry and Sylvia Anderson supermarionation show from 1968–69, which stars a nine-year-old super spy who wears special glasses which contain the brain patterns of expert adults and enable him to do all of his spy stuff.

James refers to Star Trek: The Next Generation’s Commander William T Riker as someone who, like the monks, has a real fetish for consent. This deep cut is a reference to the Star Trek podcast The Greatest Generation, which you are only allowed to listen to after you’ve finished all of Untitled Star Trek Project.

The Andromeda Strain is a 1969 book by Michael Crichton and a 1971 film directed by Robert Wise (The Sound of Music, Star Trek: The Motion Picture). In it, an extraterrestrial microbe gets loose in a research station and the staff need to prevent the station’s nuclear self-destruct system from releasing an irradiated version of the the microbe into the environment.

The Tralfamadorians are time-aware aliens who appear in a couple of Kurt Vonnegut’s novels, most notably Slaughterhouse-Five (1969).

Nathan is on Bluesky at @nathanbottomley.bsky.social, Brendan is at @retrobrendo.bsky.social, and James is at @ohjamessellwood.bsky.social. The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam.

Tom Salinsky’s blog includes his reviews of Doctor Who from Season 5 onwards, as well as his reviews of all the 60s and 90s Star Trek series. His most recent book, Star Trek: Discovering the TV Series, covers The Original Series, The Animated Series and The Next Generation, and is available in all good book stores, as well as on Amazon. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK) (Amazon AU)

You can follow Flight Through Entirety on Mastodon and Bluesky, as well as on X and Facebook. Our website is at flightthroughentirety.com. Please consider rating or reviewing us on Apple Podcasts, or we’ll save you from a crisis we created and demand your eternal adoration in return.

At the time that this episode was released, the Doomsday Clock was at 90 seconds to midnight, mostly thanks to the climate disaster and the involvement of nuclear powers in wars in Ukraine and Gaza. So sleep well, everyone.

And more

You can find links to all of the podcasts we’re involved in on our podcasts page. But here’s a summary of where we’re up to right now.

500 Year Diary is our latest new Doctor Who podcast, going back through the history of the show and examining new themes and ideas. Its first season came out early this year, under the title New Beginnings. Check it out. It will be back for a second season early in 2025.

The Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire has broadcast our hot takes on every new episode of Doctor Who since November last year, and it will be back again in 2025 for Season 2.

Brendan and Bjay’s gaming podcast The Bjay BJ Game Show has just released a new episode today, in which they discuss Lost in Play (2022), a point-and-click adventure set in the imagination of two young children.

Brendan, Richard and Steven have also just released another episode of their Avengers podcast The Three Handed Game. It’s the first episode of their triptych The Pop Explosion, covering a monochrome Emma Peel episode called Death at Bargain Prices, in which Steed and Mrs Peel go undercover in a London department store and discover a plot to blow up much of the city.

And finally there’s our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. This week, we laughed and clapped as the crew of the USS Protostar saved the Federation in the two-part Season 1 finale of Star Trek: Prodigy.

On the brand new Trap One Podcast Joumana (@joumajnouna), Lucy (@LucyMcCaul), Melvin (@kittenry) and Mark (@QuarkMcMalus) celebrate 25 years of Big Finish discussing the live show and studio version of The Stuff of Legend.
