Latest Podcast Episodes

Welcome back into the Tardis for episode 45 and it’s all getting a bit catty. Not as in squably but, you know, catty. As in fully grown human sized cats. Our review of New Earth awaits but first, the news...

The News

Fans of series geek Osgood will be pleased to know that actress Ingrid Oliver is to join the cast and star alongside Jemma Redgrave for upcoming Big Finish spin off UNIT: Extinction. We love Osgood here on the podcast and can’t wait to get this one delivered.

The BBC are getting fond of festivals this year as the Radio Times Festival heads to Greater London in September. Part of the lineup will be a celebration of Doctor Who (among other great BBC shows) with panels and presentations featuring Steven Moffat, Peter Capaldi and Russell T Davies. Tickets go on sale to the public on the 23rd June.

The mysterious writer for episode 10 that the BEEB blurred out has now been revealed as Sarah Dollard. Those of you who aren’t familiar with Dollards work will definitely know some of the programs she’s written for which include Merlin, Primeval, Being Human and many more.

Strangely, a supporting cast member from series 8 will be joining us for episode 10 of the new series – Rigsy. You will remember him from the awesome episode Flatline in featuring the Boneless. Interesting to see where his character fits in for the new run.

“New Earth” Review

The Doctor and Rose come bounding onto our screens for the first episode of series 2. Plenty of classic Tennant in this one with Rose playing a dual role for most of the story. Human sized cats, nasty diseases and The Face of Bo. It’s all going on but does The Doctor nurse our viewing pleasure or does it leave us feeling like we’ve got the flu?

This week’s trivia question

Last episode we asked you – What were the very first words written in history? The answer is – Hello Sweetie, left by River Song for The Doctor.

Thanks again for joining us and a huge thank you as always for all your comments on our review episode! Until next time – Allons-y!

In this week’s show we step away from the Doctor Who Universe for one last time, at least until next year. Our final ‘Beyond the Doctor’ features Sixth Doctor actor, Colin Baker in Star Trek Continues episode 4, White Iris. We’ll give our impressions on Colin’s performance as well as give a little insight into the Star Trek Continues series and some other Star Trek fan projects.

Also, the usual stuff, like news-of-the week, and convention updates.

And, of course, your feedback.

Enjoy!

Mal Young was Head of BBC drama who commissioned the return of Doctor Who. He hired Russell T Davies & they together got Chris Eccleston to be the new Doctor. Without him, none of this happens. We talk to him about all of that & his work on Brookside, Casualty, Holby City, the Bill & so much more.

This week's topic is one we've touched on a bit, but we thought it deserved its own episode. Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we talk about companions who were also soldiers (or soldierey or soldier-adjacent). Naturally, there's a lot of UNIT talk, but there are more soldier-companions than you might think.

What do you think of the military companions? And how do you feel about the Doctor's ever-evolving reaction to soldiers? Let us know in the comments!

^E

Also covered [links on our site]:

• Tansy reads about Osgood as Missy's companion in a fanfic called "The Dread Pirate Missy"!
• Erika looks forward to two new comic books series from former Doctor Who writers:
  • Rivers of London from Ben Aaronovitch and Andrew Cartmel!
  • This Damned Band from Paul Cornell!
• Lynne discovers a new 10th Doctor Tumble love: Three TARDISes and a Tea!
• Deb
  • does some fannish excavation and unearths a Rose Tyler action figure!
  • enjoys Anglophenia's celebration of Captain Jack's 10 year anniversary!
  • ooohs and ahhhs over the art for the upcoming Doctor Who multi-Doctor comics!

Adam, Kirby, Mary and Andy review Ian and Barbara's last story, The Chase. We also have feedback, You Won't Get This One and News.

Once again Phil & Paul dip their toes into the literary world with a review of the Target novelisation of that confirmed fan fvourite Terror Of The Vervoids by Pip and Jane Baker (note the sarcasm there?). Well....I think you know what to expect from this one folks but let's go through the motions shall we? Does this book put right all the wrongs of the TV serial and does the description of the Vervoids improve on their presentation on the screen? But Phil and Paul actually disagree on the merits of the Vervoids which I think they did to liven things up a bit. However, mentions of Police Squad and Charley Farley and Piggy Malone break things up, so it's not all bad!

And in the news this week, Phil seeks Paul's opinion on Moffat staying on for another year which he missed out on during the last podcast, plus news of the Moff feeling guilty about reversing the outcome of the Time War and in Omega's Tat Corner it's tat for those cold, dark barbecue evenings!
