On this thrilling episode of Radio Free Skaro, Chris is on assignment and in his stead the redoubtable Erika Ensign of Verity! fame joins in the fun as we examine the final incidence of Stats (cue the music), Ben Pickles’ amazing show reel from his years on the show, the ever-present Timelash, and part one (featuring Chris!) of our Classic Series Commentary for “Earthshock”!

Adam J Purcell, Andy Simpkins and Keith Dunn sit down, animated, in front of 2007 animated Doctor Who story ‘The Infinite Quest’, and spout our usual nonsense!

Baltazar is on a quest, Caw isn’t a polyphase avitron and the Doctor is running about all over the place. But enough of their problems, please sit down with us to enjoy The Infinite Quest…

50 episodes of Doctor Who Literature, and this episode releases of the first anniversary of my original trailer for the then-forthcoming podcast, November 6. It's been a fun and rewarding year, we've read some great books and interviewed some great guests. Thanks to all of you who have been along for all or part of this journey.

"The War Games" is surely one of Doctor Who's best -- and most groundbreaking -- TV serials. The novelization by Malcolm Hulke has not quite received perhaps quite so much love, but we try to remedy that over the course of this episode.

Joining Jason this week is Ross from Gallifrey's Most Wanted Podcast as well as Stop! Let's Team Up. We discuss War Games, Jack Kirby, and Eli Wallach; and reflect on some of the badly-dated language used in the 1970s to denote race in the Target novelizations.

Many other special guests stop by this week to remember "The War Games" (TV and book) and to wish the podcast a happy 50th episode.

Read more about Rudolph Walker, who had a too-small part in Episodes Four and Five of "The War Games".

Pete Seeger's rousing rendition of "John Brown's Body", a fight song for the Union Army in the American Civil War, as referenced in the novelization.

Eli Wallach's excellent autobiography was published in 2005. The actor passed away a few years later at age 99.

"Doctor Who and the War Games" features cover art by John Geary.

Doctor Who Am I is described by IMDb as a documentary where, "an infamous Doctor Who screenwriter is reluctantly dragged back into the American Whoniverse, in this funny and moving documentary about finding family in the unlikeliest of places." It launched in the UK in late October and will be available on home media in some territories later this very month.

But did you know that, on the podcast which gave birth to the Doctor Who Show - Who Wars - we actually interviewed that screenwriter (Matthew Jacobs)? And that he spoke at length about the Doctor Who Am I project?

Yes, on August 9, 2015 we ran a 40m interview with Matthew, touching on Doctor Who Am I, The Emperor's New Groove, The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, Star Wars, and more. All conducted by Kate - @kamiduu.

What we have made here is an edit of that interview, basically cutting more than 50% out (so if you want to hear him talk Disney, Young Indy, George Lucas, etc, you will need to seek out the original episode), and we're left with a very Doctor Who and Doctor Who Am I oriented chat.

Seven years have gone by since this interview was conducted, but we think you'll find the chat relevant and a great preamble to seeing the doco!

Mercifully there's no Torchwood this week as David & Matt sit down to review the finale to the Chris Chibnall and Jodie Whittaker era: 'The Power Of The Doctor whilst debating whether they themselves, are in fact The Power Of The Doctor.

IT'S ANOTHER first for Pieces of Eighth - normally we don't do review episodes, but on this occasion we've broken our rule.

Today, we feature Kenny's roadtrip to Edinburgh with his Power of 3 co-host David Steel, as they travelled to watch Doctor Who Am I on the big screen, the documentary charting Matthew Jacobs' journey with fandom, from being (as he perceived it) an unwanted embarrassment after the TV Movie, to fully embracing the fact that people like - and indeed love - his work.

It's a moving film, directed by Vanessa Yuille, and Kenny and Dave give their thoughts en route to the cinema in the car, in the cinema beforehand, and give their instant reaction on the streets of the Scottish capital. 

Becca's gutted not to have seen the film - yet - but we're also joined by seven listeners who share their thoughts on the film too.

This week we return to the podcast that kicked off everything. It’s the moment that started everything, Trust Your Doctor, coming back for its triumphant…. death. It’s the beginning of the end but the moment has been prepared for, but only as far as we usually prepare on Decorative Vegetable podcasts. It’s The Power of the Doctor, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on October 23, 2022

Show-notes:
0:54 The Monoids appeared in The Ark.
1:58: We watched classic sci-horror series Children of the Stones on Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast, a classic sci-fi podcast that you should check out if you’re looking for a classic sci-fi podcast, like classic sci-fi, and/or like podcasts.
2:05: Check out fellow Doctor Who podcasts Krynoid Podcast and Flight Through Entirety. You’ll be glad you did.
6:25: If this is your first time hearing that Doctor Who is going to be a coproduction with Disney+, then I’m so sorry.
29:17: The Cyberium was introduced in The Haunting of Villa Diotati. The bulk of our show-notes on this show are links to the TARDIS wiki lol.
37:00: The King’s Man didn’t feature Ra Ra Rasputin… I was very sad.
49:52: Tom Baker is 88 years old. You can see him looking quite frail in this interview from a year ago.
52:23: I tried so hard and got so far, but in the end it doesn’t even matter.
1:10:40: We actually did go back and rewatch this 1 minute segment and The Master really did just control the Qurunx, somehow.
1:15:0: Check out this picture for yourself… at the TARDIS wiki.
1:48:36: His name was Tosin Cole, and we should be ashamed for forgetting. (editor’s note: I mean I looked it up like one minute after this…)

The Power of The Doctor; Adam, Izzy, Kirby, Rhys, Debbie, Ben and Mary see off Jodie Whittaker and say hello to some old friends. An epic podcast for an epic departure and reintroduction story. We also have feedback and a bit of news.

On the one hundred and third episode of Reality Bomb we have a super-sized panel featuring an all-star panel discussing the ups, downs, Sacha Dwahan-ness and past Doctor Who-ness of Jodie Whittaker's swansong, The Power of the Doctor with KatyBeth Schmid, Priya Deonarain, Sage Young and Lacy Baugher-Milas. Plus the BBC's deal with Disney+ for future Doctor Who is examined by SFX editor Darren Scott. And in a new segment of Planet Who, we talk to Pauline Serizel of France's Pepperpot Team and Freddy Pavao of Doctor Who Brazil about the impact of Disney+ on Doctor Who's global fandom. All this and a pub quiz that goes horribly wrong because of Doctor numbering!

IT'S 31 OCTOBER, which means it's Halloween, and we've decided to bring you a suitably scary episode to mark the occasion. 

We're dipping into the first Doom Coalition box set, as the Doctor and Liv Chenka encounter Helen Sinclair for the first time. Unfortunately for them, people are dying in mysterious circumstances if they look at artworks from a collection which its late owner ordered to be hidden away.

Yes, we're talking about The Red Lady - and definitely not looking at her - as author John Dorney returns for a chat about this chilling tale from 2015. 

Our hosts also reveal their memorable Halloween costumes from the past - but who was the Fluffy Green Zip Up Hulk?

Our guest this month is writer, producer, and director Chris Chapman!  Chris has directed many of the documentaries and special features in the Doctor Who DVD & Blu-Ray ranges and has also written stories for Big Finish.  Chris tells us how he got involved in directing, how he started writing for Big Finish, and what he thought of the new Doctor Who special, The Power of the Doctor.

Then Chris brings us his Pick of the Month, the long-running story of battling robots that spans 38 years of toys, comics, movies, and multiple TV series, Transformers!  Find out how we all discovered this franchise, its massive impact on the toy industry, and why it's survived for so many years.

We did our very best not to get upset with this episode, but do sincerely wish that you’d recycle nonetheless.

The post N158 Orphan 55 appeared first on Who Back When | A Doctor Who Podcast.

Matt Smith’s last full season as the Doctor is a game of two halves — two costumes, two console rooms, two title sequences (or six, whatever) and two sets of companions over two consecutive years. And we’re in two minds about it. Welcome to the Series 7 retrospective.

Notes and links

Thank you to all the lovely people who sent us questions, particularly Rod Who (@who_rod), Frazer Gregory (@FelixFrazer), Joe Ford (@docoho) Steven Alexander (@stealalexanderuk), Bob Gilbey (@bobgilbey), Erik Stadnik (@sjcAustenite), Nathan Bottomley (@nathanbottomley) and Richard Stone (@RichardLStone).

Downtime (1995) was an officially licensed Doctor Who fan film written by Marc Platt (Ghost Light) and featuring Nick Courtney, Lis Sladen, Deborah Watling and various other Doctor Who guest stars. Plus some Yeti.

Here’s Brendan standing alongside a portrait of what seems to be his Spanish monk great-great-great-great-great-great-(etc.)-grandfather in the National Art Museum of Catalonia.

John and Gillian were child companions of the First and Second Doctors in many, many Doctor Who comics. They don’t get space syphilis, but evil fictional versions of them do turn up in the Virgin New Adventure Conundrum.

Alex Kingston has continued to play River Song for Big Finish opposite a range of different Doctors and at least one Master in The Diary of River Song.

And last of all, in 2012, the BBC released a sort of animated version of an unfilmed scene written by Chris Chibnall, which would have seen the Doctor tell Brian Williams about the fate of his son and daughter-in-law. It’s called PS.

Welcome to the first episode of Doctor Who Literature made after the airing of "The Power of the Doctor", the BBC centenary episode, and the last hurrah for Jodie Whittaker and Chris Chibnall. I appeared on Trap One earlier this week to discuss the episode. And be sure to check out DWLit vets Conrad, Mark, and Pete, discussing the Disney/Doctor Who news.

Joining Jason this week to break down "Image of the Fendahl" is friend of the podcast and TV producer David Barsky, who brings us news on his latest series, braves a round of "20 Questions", talks cross-country travel, and discusses just what merit might be found in this slender novelization. Plus, a surprising abundance of jokes about novelization author Terrance Dicks' surname.

This is your last week to contribute any audio recollections in advance of next week's special Episode 50, covering "The War Games" and its novelization.

"Doctor Who and the Image of the Fendahl" features cover art by John Geary.

Doctor Who Literature is now a member of the Direction Point Doctor Who podcast network.

What a week! It started with us doing a hot take episode on the final Jodie Whittaker story, The Power of the Doctor, and we thought this episode following it would be a bit fluffy and frothy and very relaxed.

Nek minnit... we get the news that Disney+ has secured the worldwide rights to screen Doctor Who outside of the UK, starting in 2023. International fandom blew up, particularly here in Australia. Dave was called to appear on a couple of mainstream radio shows to talk about it. We play one at the end of the ep! 

So while this episode is about actors who have played the Doctor in other roles, we also have a lot of discussion on both the trailer for the three upcoming specials, and the Disney+ deal. Three listener emails round out the episode.

Hope you enjoy the show! Contact us anytime, hello@theDWshow.net

Matt Smith’s last full season as the Doctor is a game of two halves — two costumes, two console rooms, two title sequences (or six, whatever) and two sets of companions over two consecutive years. And we’re in two minds about it. Welcome to the Series 7 retrospective.

Notes and links

Thank you to all the lovely people who sent us questions, particularly Rod Who (@who_rod), Frazer Gregory (@FelixFrazer), Joe Ford (@docoho) Steven Alexander (@stealalexanderuk), Bob Gilbey (@bobgilbey), Erik Stadnik (@sjcAustenite), Nathan Bottomley (@nathanbottomley) and Richard Stone (@RichardLStone).

Downtime (1995) was an officially licensed Doctor Who fan film written by Marc Platt (Ghost Light) and featuring Nick Courtney, Lis Sladen, Deborah Watling and various other Doctor Who guest stars. Plus some Yeti.

Here’s Brendan standing alongside a portrait of what seems to be his Spanish monk great-great-great-great-great-great-(etc.)-grandfather in the National Art Museum of Catalonia.

John and Gillian were child companions of the First and Second Doctors in many, many Doctor Who comics. They don’t get space syphilis, but evil fictional versions of them do turn up in the Virgin New Adventure Conundrum.

Alex Kingston has continued to play River Song for Big Finish opposite a range of different Doctors and at least one Master in The Diary of River Song.

And last of all, in 2012, the BBC released a sort of animated version of an unfilmed scene written by Chris Chibnall, which would have seen the Doctor tell Brian Williams about the fate of his son and daughter-in-law. It’s called PS.

VIEWERS of Doctor Who in the 21st century have become accustomed to watching how the show is made behind the scenes, through DVD and bluray extras, and Doctor Who Confidential.

However, back in 1996, these things were unheard of, with the only additional content coming in the form of an official electronic press kit, with interviews with Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann and Daphne Ashbrook, plus the likes of Philip Segal.

But Bill Baggs was ahead of his time, and sent a small guerilla team to Canada, accompanying Sylvester McCoy, to record a video diary of his final days of the Doctor, before handing over the TARDIS key to Paul McGann. 

This is the story of how Bidding Adieu came to be.
