A Christmas Carol; Adam, Kirby, Ben and Mary get all festive and we also have feedback, Fan TC Con afterthought, news and what we watched this week.

It’s book review time. And it’s a long one.

In this episode, we review Temporal Logbook 3: Changed Lives from our friends at Pencil Tip Publishing.

This is an anthology collection by various authors. All proceeds from the publication are donated to SETTLED, an independent charity providing free and trustworthy information, advice, and support in different languages to EU citizens in the UK. And we are excited to have our very own Shaun Collins who was asked to write one of the short stories in the book.

Plus we discuss the recent announcement of a new companion played by Millie Gibson.

Enjoy!

The post Episode 532 – Chance Meetings appeared first on Traveling the Vortex.

IT'S DOCTOR Who's 59th anniversary today, and to mark the occasion, and Paul McGann's birthday last week, we're looking at The Night of the Doctor.

Our fantastic listeners have shared their thoughts on when they first saw the Eighth Doctor's shock return to our screens in 2013, and we present their thoughts on the surprise mini-episode, which debuted on 14 November, 2013.

And keep an ear out - you may recognise some of the names and voices in this episode!

So David Tennant is the 14th Doctor, and Donna is back as well. Join Deb, Erika, and Kat as we dream about what other Doctor-companion combos we'd like to have back, regeneration-style.

What combos would you bring back, and why? Drop us a tweet or let us know in the comments!

To celebrate Doctor Who’s fiftieth and fifty-ninth anniversaries, Brendan, Nathan, Richard and Todd are reunited at last for the first of two panels discussing The Day of the Doctor. We squealed, we laughed, we wept, we injured Brendan, and we spent quite a bit of time fangirling about Ingrid Oliver. Happy birthday, everyone!

Notes and links

First off, a special anniversary mention of El Sandifer, whose essay on The Day of the Doctor discusses its role on healing the breach between the Classic and New Series of Doctor Who.

Perhaps inevitably, John Hurt reprises his role as the War Doctor for Big Finish, recording four box sets of three stories each before his death in 2017.

Two Doctor Who novelisations alluded to this week: firstly, again, Steven Moffat’s novelisation of The Day of the Doctor (2018), and Russell T Davies’s novelistaion of Rose (also 2018), which depicts the Last Great Time War in weird and unfilmable ways.

As a man dedicated to recycling, Moffat has used the resolution of The Day of the Doctor in a Children in Need special in 2007 called Time Crash. We discussed it (of course) in Episode 178, Remember Who We Were.

Nathan’s vague memory of a French ambassador visiting a 65-year-old Queen Elizabeth I and remarking on the poor state of her teeth is largely correct. You can read about this meeting here.

This is Ingrid Oliver’s first appearance on the show as Dr Petronella Osgood, and so we spend a lot of time talking about how great she is. Richard mentions her role as Penthesilea in ElvenQuest, a Radio 4 comedy series starring Stephen Mangan, as well as her roles in another Radio 4 comedy series, The Penny Dreadfuls Present…. Brendan mentions her appearance as Osgood in The Lonely Assassins, a videogame featuring the Weeping Angels, first released in 2021 and available on just about every platform imaginable. And, for our viewers who are in the UK or who know how to operate a VPN, you can see a brief excerpt from the episode of Watson & Oliver where Ingrid learns that she’s been shortlisted to play the next James Bond.

Our James Bond commentary podcast is called Bondfinger, and you can find that at bondfinger.com, at @bondfingercast on Twitter, on Apple Podcasts, and everywhere else as well. In our most recent episode, we watched in awe as Roger Moore and Tony Curtis solved the mystery of The Long Goodbye.

We can also be heard on the Blakes 7 podcast Maximum Power, which a few weeks ago started its coverage of Series B of the show. This week’s episode: Chris Boucher’s Weapon, starring The Talons of Weng-Chiang’s John Bennett in a largely non-racist role.

And finally, there’s our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. We’ve been having a short break to give us the chance to rest on our laurels after our first year of podcasting. Today, we’re recommending our coverage of Star Trek: Discovery.

The original FTE team has already spent an hour discussing The Day of the Doctor, but it wouldn’t be a fiftieth anniversary celebration without James, Peter and Simon on the couch toasting everyone’s health. There will be cocktails, as we convene just one more time to discuss The Day of the Doctor.

Notes and links

You’ve already had your fair share of notes and links today, so we’re just doing one this episode — the 1976 edition of Terrance Dicks and Malcolm Hulke’s book The Making of Doctor Who, which was the source for Terrance’s famous description of the Doctor, a description that is quoted in this episode — “He is impulsive, idealistic, ready to risk his life for a worthy cause. He hates tyranny and oppression and anything that is anti-life. He never gives in and he never gives up, however overwhelming the odds against him. The Doctor believes in good and fights evil. Though often caught up in violent situations, he is a man of peace. He is never cruel or cowardly. In fact, to put it simply, the Doctor is a hero.” Happy birthday, Doctor!

Dan and Eric talk about the demise of Twitter before talking about the demise of the human race at the hands of the Draconians. Or was the Ogrons? Wait, do you hear that? It's our review of FRONTIER IN SPACE!

Outro Music: Invasion of the Dragon-Men by Man or Astroman?

A wise man once said, “You can do loads in twelve minutes. Suck a mint, buy a sledge, have a fast bath.” This week, Brendan, Nathan, James and canonical friend-of-the-podcast Conrad Westmaas find out just what Paul McGann can do in just seven minutes and nine seconds. Turns out, quite a lot. It’s The Night of the Doctor.

Watch the story!

The Night of the Doctor was originally released on BBC iPlayer on 14 November 2013. It is included as a special feature on the DVD and Blu-ray releases of The Day of the Doctor, which means you probably have it on a shelf somewhere. Failing that, it is also available on YouTube.

Notes and links

The second, completely unmemorable prequel to The Day of the Doctor is called The Last Day, and can also be found on YouTube. It’s included here merely for the sake of completeness: you don’t have to go and watch it or anything.

There will be a lot of talk this week about Steven Moffat’s novelisation of The Day of the Doctor (2018), so let’s start by admitting that Nathan gives the wrong chronological order here. From our point of view, it goes Tennant, Smith, Hurt, but from the Doctor’s point of view it goes Hurt, Tennant, Smith. Which is just the sort of nonsense that you either love/hate about Moffat.

For Conrad — and for the rest of us too, really — this episode is the sequel to The Brain of Morbius, which we discussed way back in Episode 41: Philip Madoc in Fishnets.

For fans of a certain age, Paul McGann will always be I in Withnail & I (1987), alongside titular Doctor Who villain Richard E Grant. Every weekend was very much like that film in the late 80s and early 90s, apparently.

River Song snogs Colin Baker’s Doctor (spoilers!) in a Big Finish story called World Enough and Time, part of The Diary of River Song, Series 2. Brendan says that it’s proper romantic.

And finally, Conrad sent us this photo of Ohila’s costume alongside the Eighth Doctor’s costume for this episode. The hat that forms part of Ohila’s costume is just the sort of magnificent nonsense an accomplished actress might refuse to wear on set.

Ross and Vic get together to discuss Chrisopher Eccleston's first Big Finish Set the Ravagers.  This is Vic's first time listening to these stories and Ross' second. They come at them with different takes and they had a fun time discussing them.  All that and a tangent or two.

When a spatio-temporal hyperlink connects 1963, 2013 and 2022, we find ourselves joined by Greg Miller for a conversation about our little fanboy hearts, the anniversary special An Adventure in Space and Time, and the brave, clever and difficult people who created the show that brought us all together.

Notes and links

Coronation Street got here first, with its dramatisation of the creation of the show — The Road to Coronation Street (2010), featuring our very own Celia Imrie and Shaun Dooley, as well as real-life Doctor Who villain Steven Berkoff.

As is now well known, the first Doctor Who novelisation Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks (1965) invents a different meet-cute for the Doctor and its narrator Ian Chesterton: Ian meets the Doctor, Barbara and Susan after being involved in a car crash on Barnes Common, which is the location of the first scene of An Adventure in Space and Time.

The TV interview we mention with Bill Hartnell in 1967 can be found on YouTube, and as a special feature on the DVD release of The Tenth Planet. The story of the rediscovery of this interview can be found in this article in The Guardian from 2013.

Australian journalist Annabel Crabb created a four-part documentary called Ms Represented (2021) about the ugly truth of how female politicians have been treated in the Australian Parliament.

Here is the incredible story of Underground (1958), a live television drama in which the main actor died during broadcast, and which was partly saved by the intervention of Verity Lambert.

And finally, William Russell played an RAF pilot in The Man Who Never Was (1956), and was the lead in the television series The Adventures of Sir Lancelot (1956–1957) alongside Ronald Leigh-Hunt from The Seeds of Death and Revenge of the Cybermen.

Summary:

Adam J Purcell, Andy Simpkins and Keith Dunn sit down, regenerated, in front of 2022 Doctor Who story ‘The Power of the Doctor’, and spout our usual nonsense!

The Master is splitting his time, Dan gets it in the face and the Doctor is seeing some old faces. But enough of their problems, please sit down with us to enjoy The Power of the Doctor…

Happy Saturday, you delightful scamps, and welcome to another splendid slice of Stace & Barry In The Morning!

This episode, Barry is encouraging you all to pick up The Black Phone, Stacey has absolutely lost her mind at an episode of the 2003 iteration of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (why do all writers hate Donnie, though?!), and the pair get a bit John Carpenter-y with a spooky Musical Musing and a creepy comic.

Grab a breakfast beverage and enjoy!

This week David and Matt plunge the depths of Doctor Who fandom and venture into the unknown world of Fan Fiction.

Can anything prepare them for this - will their friendship survive?

Doctor Who theme by Ron Grainer, arranged by Alexander Erben.

BBC Audio brought us a new adventure for the Eighth Doctor, in the form of The Code of Flesh.

The sequel to last year's The Scent of Blood, writer Andrew (Andy!) Lane and narrator Dan Starkey were reunited, to bring us another terrifying tale set in Victorian England.

This week, we're joined by Andy, as well as BBC Audio's commissioning editor Michael Stevens, and audiobook producer Neil Gardner, from Ladbroke Audio, to bring you an episode that's actually LONGER than the audio that inspired it!

Review - Temporal Log Book III: Changed Lives

Phil reviews Temporal Log Book III: Changed Lives from Penciltip Publishing, a collection of Doctor Who short stories with all proceeds going to Settled, helping to home displaced EU citizens in the UK.

The Jodie Whittaker Era

Joining Phil for this discussion are old friends of the show, Radio Free Skaro's Steven Schapansky and Verity's Erika Ensign. During their discussion, they touch on subjects such as what did they think of the Jodie Whittaker era and did it live up to their expectations and why did fandom split itself apart on the casting news?  Whatever the discussion bought up, a fun time was had by all, especially as the conversation reminded Phil of Lenny Henry running around Catford shopping centre handing out doughnuts!

SHOWNOTES

(00:01:14) A nice tribute to the late Kevin O’Neill can be found here.

(01:26:14) The Connie Huq documentary referred to here was the BBC’s “Kids TV: The Surprising Story”.

The Diddly Dum Podcast acknowledges the copyright of anyone we’ve pinched anything from.

It’s really here. The end of the first era of Trust Your Doctor. Stay tuned to find out if the show regenerates just as the Doctor does.

To peel back the curtain just a touch, it’s normally me (Dylan) who writes these descriptions. I don’t know really what to say so instead I’ll quote Brian May at Wembley: “I don’t have very much to say, so thank you very much for coming […] you’re great. We love ya.”

As Dylan just wrote in the above paragraph, I (Kiyan) don’t typically contribute to these intros, so I’m not exactly sure what to say either. But as Fall Out Boy once said, “Thnks fr the mmrs.”

Show-notes:
2:55: For one final time, check out our Blake’s 7 podcast Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast.
13:47: Here’s a good blog post on “the Kurosawa method.”
16:00: Check it our supremely unsuccessful movie trilogy podcast Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast. Or don’t. I can’t control what you do.
19:07: Funhaus is actually still really funny, and I’d recommend them if you’re looking for lets players. I just don’t watch them regularly anymore.
30:15: You can read my (Dylan’s) 2021 NanoWrimo Novel “Psychic” over at my website.
37:22: Here, I’ll link straight to our video episode for you. Amazingly it has almost 350 views. (I (Kiyan) am absolutely not going to click this. Don’t even want to see one second of it. lol.)
43:00: The old logo is actually not on the website, so here it is.
43:45: Check out Dylan’s write-ups about the original Prisoner video game, the first of which you can find here.
49:35: That fan fiction reading is still up on our feed, so be sure to check that out. (Will not be linked here. Lel. -Kiyan)
1:27:30: Our segment on Blue Box Podcast was on Doctor in Distress. You can hear it on that episode at the timestamp ~ 3:27:17
2:05:30: I’ll just link to the Last of the Gadarene episode for you.

On the one hundred and fourth edition of Reality Bomb, come celebrate the 59th anniversary of Doctor Who with us as we have a live episode on Zoom! Joy Piedmont is talking to Max Kashevsky, Kim Rogers and Priya Deonarain about Jodie Whittaker's tenure as the thirteenth Doctor. Graeme Burk and special guest Toby Hadoke are discussing one of Doctor Who's first "timey-wimey" stories, the 1966 story The Ark in The Gallery of the Underrated. And the whole gang is playing a round of "Doctor Who Never Have I Ever". Plus, Listeners' Q and A and Pam Brandeis faces her greatest opponent in court... her ex-husband. In a case about missing episodes! 

Now that we've said goodbye to the 13th Doctor and reminisced about some favourite moments, it's time for a more comprehensive retrospective. Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne as we discuss the Chibnall-Whittaker era as a whole. We talk about what we liked, what we didn't as much, what held together, and we even learn a little bit about ourselves along the way!

How did you feel about the era as a whole? Drop us a tweet or let us know in the comments!

Happy things:

• Liz wrote a Big Finish play called Capture the Chronovore!
• Erika named her new Gamma World Total Party Kill characters after deep-dive Doctor Who references!
• Deb is thrilled to see Doctor Who back in the news again from a new logo to a new distributor, a new Doctor doing amazing promo!
• Lynne is profoundly grateful for the community support for her, Michael, and Caitlin as they plan for Cait's end-of-life care.
