Latest Podcast Episodes

It's episode eighty of The Next Level and some of the Geek Syndicate Team have gathered to discuss Freemium games. Do we love them? Do we loath them? And do we pay to play them? James, Fia and Kenny come together with Ant to discuss the trend.

The discussion touches on Mental Health issues as Ant reveals how Freemium Games tap into his tendency to comfort shop when depressive episodes hit.

Hello, Whovians! This Is Where It Gets Complicated is back! This month, our trio of hosts speak at great length about TORCHWOOD S01E04: CYBERWOMAN. We found out first hand why secrets don't make friends, that Ianto cries a whole lot, and that Owen is a creepy weirdo (and that's putting it lightly). Then, it's time for the Semi-Finals and Finals of our COSTUME SHOWDOWN! Who was the best dressed Doctor in our opinion? In FINISH AT THE FINISH, we build a great big golden statue for everyone's favorite shapeshifter Frobisher! We reviewed the comical, but also very bizarre Big Finish audio THE HOLY TERROR! Plus pizza talk, murder cats, and much more!

In which we celebrate good time. C'mon.

On what is almost definitely Doctor Whooch's first and only A Hundredth episode, we have a couple of guests that have never been on the show before... sober Brandon and Danica! No lies, this one is weird. But if you ever wondered how much of the show comes about because we're drunk, and how much of the show is just us, well... you're going to get your answer.

Thank you to everyone who listens to the show - you mean a lot to us, and we're pretty fond of you. Here's to many more over the next few years.

Outro music is "Hang on to The Night" by Tegan and Sara

In Episode 35: Cheese Of The Doctor, the guys welcome special guest, nerd-about-town and co-host of the Aging Poorly Podcast, Bill Stiteler! Join them as they probe the inner recesses of Bill’s mind for any and all Doctor Who related memories, talk candidly about mid-life regeneration crisis, avoid meeting their future selves in a time-wimey discussion of the 1983 Fifth Doctor adventure Mawdryn Undead, and choose the perfect cheese to pair with every Doctor.

If you stayed with us beyond Episode 1, you will be rewarded with more Liz and Deb who is far more interesting than Josh quite frankly. So it's a mermaid, she can't resist us! Or...is it a Sea Devil??!?? Is Clayton Hickman a character in Doctor Who? Is Chin and Trenchard the same character? Are we going to get sandwiches anytime soon? Is Trenchard interested in Jo? All these answers and so many more answered by our High Council team. Enjoy episode 2!

This time we are reviewing The Sontaran Experiment by Ian Marter - the two-part TV story which was written into a full length Target novelization - how did Ian Marter fare with this? And what about Jon Culshaw's reading of the new BBC Audio version? Liston on...

The Blue Box Podcast - Episode 229: Mark and Simon's Little Things Brought to you every Saturday by Starburst Columnist - JR Southall, Lee Rawlings, Mark Cockram and Simon Brett.

In hindsight maybe not doing this with Krynoid was why this episode was all over the place.

Remember how the Fourth Doctor Retrospective was fun? This is… sort of fun? We take a look back at good old Peter Davison, and try to discuss his brief but fun era of Doctor Who.

We’ve now been recording Flight Through Entirety for exactly twenty years, and to celebrate this milestone, all four of us are back for our second ever commentary podcast. So grab your iPhone, fire up your Blu-ray player and settle down to a relaxing pineapple daquiri. It’s The Five Doctors!

The Flight Through Entirety Troughton Commentary Poll

In two weeks’ time, we’ll be releasing our increasingly drunken commentary podcast on The Keys of Marinus. Until then, why not vote in our latest poll: which Troughton story should be the subject of our next commentary podcast?

Voting in the FTE Troughton commentary poll has now closed. In this poll, our listeners made a choice between The Power of the Daleks, The Enemy of the World, The Web of Fear and The Krotons. The result will be announced at the very end of Episode 91 of Flight Through Entirety.

Buy the story!

The Five Doctors: Special Edition was the first Doctor Who DVD released, even before the main line got underway. The 25th Anniversary edition was released (obviously) in 2008. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Notes and links

In 1972, Doctor Who fans on Twitter were very cross about the rumours surrounding the upcoming Tenth Anniversary story. (Thanks to @themindrobber for this glorious piece of nonsense.)

Weird First-Doctor substitute Richard Hurndall played old man slave murder victim Neebrox in the ridiculously camp 1981 Blakes 7 episode Assassin, which also features a villain who changes into a special villain outfit when there’s some extra villainy to be done.

Doctor Who in 10 Seconds

Brendan is currently working undercover in an undisclosed Pacific location, which probably means that we won’t get a new episode of Doctor Who in Ten Seconds for the next few weeks. While you’re waiting, you can watch the previous 7 episodes, in which Brendan summarises the first 7 years of Doctor Who stories. So check out the playlist on YouTube.

Bondfinger

In our latest Bondfinger commentary, Brendan, Nathan, Richard and James talk all over Octopussy, the best James Bond film to be released in 1983.

Our back catalogue covers all of the previous Rodgefilms, from For Your Eyes Only to Live and Let Die. You can keep up with all the Bondfinger news on Twitter and Facebook.

This Doctor isn’t doing much this episode, Rassilon is making the Master mad and Wilf hides in a fateful box. But enough of their problems, please sit down with us to enjoy The End of Time, Part Two...

Our back catalogue covers all of the previous Rodgefilms, from For Your Eyes Only to Live and Let Die. You can keep up with all the Bondfinger news on Twitter and Facebook.

This serial dares to be international and somewhat progressive. The trio take it to task for succeeding and failing at the same time.

We’ve now been recording Flight Through Entirety for exactly twenty years, and to celebrate this milestone, all four of us are back for our second ever commentary podcast. So grab your iPhone, fire up your Blu-ray player and settle down to a relaxing pineapple daquiri. It’s The Five Doctors!

The Flight Through Entirety Troughton Commentary Poll

In two weeks’ time, we’ll be releasing our increasingly drunken commentary podcast on The Keys of Marinus. Until then, why not vote in our latest poll: which Troughton story should be the subject of our next commentary podcast?

Voting in the FTE Troughton commentary poll has now closed. In this poll, our listeners made a choice between The Power of the Daleks, The Enemy of the World, The Web of Fear and The Krotons. The result will be announced at the very end of Episode 91 of Flight Through Entirety.

Buy the story!

The Five Doctors: Special Edition was the first Doctor Who DVD released, even before the main line got underway. The 25th Anniversary edition was released (obviously) in 2008. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Notes and links

In 1972, Doctor Who fans on Twitter were very cross about the rumours surrounding the upcoming Tenth Anniversary story. (Thanks to @themindrobber for this glorious piece of nonsense.)

Weird First-Doctor substitute Richard Hurndall played old man slave murder victim Neebrox in the ridiculously camp 1981 Blakes 7 episode Assassin, which also features a villain who changes into a special villain outfit when there’s some extra villainy to be done.

Doctor Who in 10 Seconds

Brendan is currently working undercover in an undisclosed Pacific location, which probably means that we won’t get a new episode of Doctor Who in Ten Seconds for the next few weeks. While you’re waiting, you can watch the previous 7 episodes, in which Brendan summarises the first 7 years of Doctor Who stories. So check out the playlist on YouTube.

Bonus Episode. Meds and Petes Waffle On Road Trip. Hello and welcome to this bonus episode of Waffle On Podcast. Meds is joined (well driven) by regular guest host Pete Coleman as they head from the Midlands to Whitby. Instead of wasting several hours playing eye spy they opted to record an hour of chat. The sound quality (as to be expected when driving down a motorway) is not as good as normal and you will notice some obvious cuts in the audio due to interference. Anyway its a fun hour of waffley chat, we will be back next for our Halloween episode.

The father and son team discuss goings on in the universe of Doctor Who. We look at our favourite episodes from the classic era, review the first episodes of Mind of Evil, look at the latest news including synopsis, Mr Men crossovers and classic writers as well as the return of our game show, Three Minute Rant.

"She tipped the ambassador into a pit and threw astrologers at him."

Public Notice: Beware of low-flying Russell Grants.

What else could this be but 1979's The Creature From The Pit?

It's a somewhat green-tinged tale about an enormous slug who, despite being chucked down a pit and starved, still seems very pleased to see us. He shares the dank depths with Catweazle's charlatan cousin but they're soon joined by a somewhat over-stretched stuntman, a sweaty Doctor, a haughty Romana and a tin dog in the middle of an identity crisis.

Bad enough you might think but they also have to contend with a matriarch with magpie tendencies, Poundshop Fagin and his cronies and a conniving old crone. The addition of the whip-cracking Captain Camp and his homicidal sprouts just makes things even worse.

But did Jim and Martin fall for the Pit and its attendant charms or were they left green about the gills? Listen here to find out.

A short catch-all episode to tie up loose ends. Ben gives an update on the possible connection between earthworks artist Robert Smithson and "The Evil of the Daleks". Then the two give their reactions to the new trailer for the Christmas special featuring Doctor Mistero and then David speculates on who the classic series writer with a story in Series 10 could be. Intro/Outro music is incidental music by Peter Howell from "Warriors' Gate".

This title was released in October 2016. It will be exclusively available to buy from the BF website until December 31st 2016, and on general sale after this date The Time War between Daleks and Time Lords rages across the history of the cosmos. Nowhere is safe. Worlds are ravaged by battles beyond their understanding, but certain other races hunger to fight in the ultimate conflict. When Earth comes under threat, the War Doctor is drawn into Ollistra's schemes once again. But the wily Time Lord Cardinal has not foreseen every move. The Dalek Time Strategist has its own game-pieces in play, and when volatile forces with their own agenda join the fray, no-one can predict how the war might turn... 3.1 The Shadow Vortex by David Llewellyn Cardinal Ollistra exploits the War Doctor's affection for Earth to send him to East Berlin, 1961, on the trail of a Dalek agent. Lara Zannis has breached the planet's quantum shield on a very special mission for the Dalek Time Strategist. Caught between MI6 and the KGB, the War Doctor must first escape the Stasi before he can hope to stop Lara. Cold War scientists are about to make a breakthrough - the Daleks want control of the 'Shadow Vortex', and Agent Zannis can provide it. 3.2 The Eternity Cage by Andrew Smith Sontarans are the ultimate warriors - so they believe - and the Time War the ultimate conflict. Denied that glory by Skaro and Gallifrey alike, General Fesk of the Eighth Sontaran Battle Fleet employs a dangerous strategy to draw both sides to the planet Rovidia and prove his forces worthy... Meanwhile, the War Doctor leads a rescue mission, aided by Rovidian street-urchin Kalan. Neither Daleks nor Time Lords expect the Sontarans to be so fearsome a foe, until they uncover the secret of the Eternity Cage. 3.3 Eye of Harmony by Ken Bentley In the aftermath of events on Rovidia, the Dalek Time Strategist is presented with a unique opportunity to strike a lethal blow to the heart of Gallifrey. A devastating power is set to be unleashed, and with agents in place ready to do the bidding of the Dalek Time Strategist, the future of the Time War could turn in an instant. Trapped inside a critically-damaged Battle-TARDIS, hopelessly adrift in the Time Vortex, the War Doctor and his allies have a final desperate fight on their hands...

Hey everyone. Some cool news and merch this week followed by out review of 5th Doctor story The Awakening. Let’s do it!

The News

We have a teaser/trailer/behind-the-scenes thing for the Christmas Special. Yes, The Return of Doctor Mysterio will be on our screens this Crimbo and this video gives us a wee insight into what we can expect. Before then however…

Finally, a proper trailer has been released for Class. It’s certainly looking polished and ready to go and we’ll be giving you our thoughts on it. Episodes 1 and 2 will go out on BBC Three Online on Saturday 22nd October.

Great news – a writer from the classic era will be penning a script for next year’s series 10! While the Moff didn’t confirm who this was we have a wager; Adam thinks it could be Rob Shearman while Garry has his money on Ben Aaronovitch. Excited about this.

Merch

Those fans of the cute children’s stories The Mr. Men will be thrilled to know that a mash-up of Mr. Men and Doctor Who will be out from Puffin Books next year! Each Doctor will have his own book, Dr. Fourth for example, and features the original design we know fondly.

Eaglemoss, the company behind the Doctor Who Figurine Collection, have announced a new “Mega-Dalek” to accompany the already available Bronze version. The new silver and blue figure will be 23cm tall and if priced the same as the Bronze version will retail for PS85.

“The Awakening” Review

Dark undertones and a lost grandfather await in this little two-part story from the Davison era. We have mixed feelings on some of Davison’s stories but will this one be a hidden gem to enjoy or should it stay hidden.

A huge thank you for your reviews as always. Next week we’re driving forward to review the 12th Doctor story Kill the Moon which we know has varying degrees of both like and dislike so please get your thoughts in for that. Until than have a great week and as always – Allons-y!!
