Latest Podcast Episodes

We've jumped a time track only to find ourselves in the 1970s, watching a strange parallel-universe version of our favourite show. Where's the TARDIS gone? What's with all these different colours? And, most importantly, what's happened to the Doctor's nose? Join us, my dear fellow, as we try to find the answers to some of these questions by watching the first two stories of Jon Pertwee's first season, Spearhead from Space and Doctor Who and the Silurians.

Buy the stories!

From now on, not only do all the stories exist, but they've all been released on DVD. So this bit's easy.

• Spearhead from Space (Amazon US). In the UK, it can be bought as part of the Mannequin Mania box set, which includes Terror of the Autons. A must-have. (Amazon UK)

• Spearhead from Space on Blu-ray, in stunning HD (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Spearhead from Space

Kim Catrall, from Sex and the City and, of course, Star Trek VI (1991), played a slightly less lethal and slightly more creepy mannequin in the film, er, Mannequin (1987).

[The Avengers](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Avengers_(TV_series)) and Peter Wyngarde's Jason King both have a history of strong, fabulous women, but none more strong and fabulous than Caroline John's Liz Shaw. (Oh, okay, Emma Peel.)

Even in the early 70s, millions of deprived Britons would tune into radio comedies like Round the Horne and The Navy Lark, starring Jon Pertwee.

If you're thrillingly open-minded, you might enjoy the idea of agalmatophilia, which is a fetish involving sexual attraction to a statue or mannequin. If not, I'm sorry I brought it up.

Terrance Dicks's novelisation of this story, The Auton Invasion, has been recently re-released as a paperback. It's also available on the Kindle. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Fans of the moments of gritty realism in 1970s Who might enjoy Steve McQueen in Bullitt (1968), Michael Caine in Get Carter (1971) or Dennis Waterman in The Sweeney. Fans of Pertwee hurtling down the hill in a wheelchair might enjoy the Ealing Comedies of the 1950s.

Captain Kremmen was an important part of Richard and Nathan's childhood. You can get a taste of it here. Watch it on YouTube. You won't regret it. (Oh, okay, you might.)

Moonboots and Dinner Suits is Jon Pertwee's autobiography, first published in 1985. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Doctor Who and the Silurians

Derrick Sherwin and Peter Bryant had an escape plan in the form of Special Project Air. It didn't really work out though.

Watch Jennifer Saunders as Jane Seymour in Doctor Quinn: Mad Woman.

Malcolm Hulke's novelisation of this story, Doctor Who and the Cave-Monsters, was also recently re-released, both in paperback and for the Kindle. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK). Caroline John reads the audiobook, and does a superb impersonations of both Jon Pertwee and Fulton Mackay. (Audible US) (Audible UK)

The New Series Silurians are based very closely on the Voth from the Star Trek: Voyager episode [Distant Origin](http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Distant_Origin_(episode)), who were in turn based loosely on the Silurians from this story.

Gerry Anderson's The Secret Service stars a marionette vicar who solves crimes. Aren't you glad to live in a world where such things exist?

"I'm a Silurian. And I'm going for my tea break."

Vacation is officially over. Despite some timey whimey nonsense leading to a new episode last week. Anyway, this time, The Oncoming Storm is officially in 2015! This means catching up on the news from the last month, then getting back on schedule as Josh, Ashley, Rachel, Jeff, and Dr. Scott look at The Harvest, by Dan Abnett. This futuristic thriller sees the Doctor and Ace face off against some old enemies... and maybe welcome a new friend! We'll let you know just how well the introduction of one Mr. Thomas Hector Schofield goes! The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got fleshy parts. Weak, weak fleshy parts.

In which Brandon is a parrot for much of the podcast, for reasons.

This week, we return to Torchwood for a pair of second series episodes ("To The Last Man" and "Meat"). Both of these feature meat, but only one features man meat. From there, the usual madness occurs. Brandon goes full German, we administer some British history and sex education and somehow talk about idependant butt stuff. Like you do.

Outro music is "A Bushell and A Peck" by The Andrews Sisters

Welcome back into the Tardis Who fans as we bring you a lot of news covering the possible return of Torchwood to Series 9 filming tid bits. We then crack on with our review of The Beast Below.

[powerpress]

The News

Torchwood is set to make a return! I know you've just jumped up and down with excitement but please sit back down as it's not the kind of return you hoped for. It is coming back but in the form of audio plays. This was confirmed by John Barrowman while being interviewed about his role on comic book drama Arrow. Although not the return we were hoping for (which still may happen one day), this does at least bring us some Torchwood stories.

BBC Three will air Doctor Who: Earth Conquest - The World Tour on Friday 16th January at 7pm. Also included as a special feature on the series 8 box set, it follows Peter Capaldi, Jenna Coleman and Steven Moffat as they visit some of the worlds major cities such as New Mexico, Seoul, London and Sydney to promote the launch of series 8 and its debut episode Deep Breath.

Plenty of series 9 talk is afoot. Most notably the episodes currently being filmed have been written by Toby Whitehouse who has written some great stories over the years such as School Reunion and A Town Called Mercy. This will also be a two-parter which is great as we miss those mid-series. Other series 9 news includes Game of Thrones regular Paul Kaye will be starring in an episode.

Doctor Who has been nominated for a National TV Award. It's always great to see Who being nominated for awards and in the world of UK TV this is a pretty big one. You can cast your vote here before midday on 21st January.

Russell T Davies has commented on the chatter about him ever returning to write an episode of Who and, sadly, he has quashed those rumours. In an interview with the Radio Times he says that he has/is moving on and is basically doing his one thing and Doctor Who doesn't feature in that plan. Sad I know but let's hope that one day he changes his mind.

"The Beast Below" Review

Bit of a surprise this one but this was the first episode of Doctor Who that I (Garry) watched completely and put me on my journey into the world of Who. This is an often overlooked episode and gets mixed reviews but what did we think of it?

A pretty smooth Tardis flight this episode, thank you for joining us and to leave you with a teaser, we have some amazing prizes lined up for a March giveaway. More details to come. Until next time - Allons-y!!!

This week on PODcastica, Taylor joins John as they discuss the 1996 Doctor Who television movie! Up until a couple of years ago, this was the only filmed material of Paul McGann's Doctor that was made. What did they think of this movie overall? Are the surprised that this did not reboot the series? What did they think of Eric Roberts (Yes, THAT Eric Roberts) as The Master?

Also, they touch upon the BIG FINISH audio adventures, and why they are important to Paul McGann's legacy as The Doctor! They also announce the next Doctor Who episode they will be reviewing!

“It's all in there somewhere. Caramel, sherbet, toffee, marzipan, gelling agents, it's all in motion.”

No, not a description of Jim and Martin's stomachs on Christmas night but rather the innards of the Kandy Man, part-time lethal confectioner and full-time Bertie Bassett stunt double.

Yes, we're on Terra Alpha, a dystopian colony ruled over by painted Thatchalike, Helen A, and her gun-toting Hen Party, The Happiness Patrol.

The over-athletic Doctor plays the spoons, the occasionally-catatonic Earl plays the harmonica and horrid old Helen A plays with her Fifi - her hermaphrodite wolf-poodle, that is. We don't know what you were thinking...

The unrealistic streets teem with low-speed traffic and shambling work-shy drones while, underneath, pound-shop Yodas bark unintelligibly about Gordon Bennett.

And the TARDIS turns pink, as do Whovian cheeks when the Kandy Man appears while any Not-We are in the room.

So did Jim Y and Martin Z enjoy watching it? Or was the experience as hollow as Sylv and Sophie's laughter?

Listen in to find out.

Join us next week for our review of Doctor Who story #38, The Abominable Snowmen!  This six-part story is mostly lost, with only one episode remaining.  The soundtrack is available from Audible.com.

MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast wishes you all a happy 2015! We're celebrating by... going back to 1/27/11 - when we recorded this podcast for "Blink", the classic Doctor Who episode from 2007, written by Steven Moffat and starring David Tennant, Freema Agyeman and Carey Mulligan! We thought this would be a fun podcast to bring back, since it's no longer up anywhere - of course, "Blink" is one of the all-time greatest episodes of Doctor Who!

As bonuses for this podcast, you get a lot of great stories about our trip to London in 2006 to meet the writers (Cornell, Moffat, Dicks, Shearman, Greenhorn, MacRae, and even Gary Russell!) There's a great story that John will recount that has to do with the FIRST edition of this episode's script from that night!

2nd bonus: we're in the same room for the first time ever! So, that's something!

The NEW content is 10 minutes of news about Series 9, RTD, Gally/Barrowman. Then, into the original podcast! Please have a listen!

Long after the mulled wine hangover has passed, Andy, Derek, and Alan ponder Last Christmas and whether Santa was good or bad. And what were the surprises and sure things in the Outpost Skaro 2014 member awards? And if that wasn’t enough just what do you have to look forward to in 2015?

Before we get into "Mind Robber" next week, we wanted to give a quick update about The Old Doctor Who Show.  We're changing things up a bit because that's how we roll.  We're going to cover more than just the Netflix epsiodes.  Mostly because there might not be any more Netflix episodes, but also because we're tough.  Here's the new list of episodes we'll be reviewing: http://www.theolddoctorwhoshow.com/news/2015/1/11/schedule

Caig from 'Kneel Before Blog' talks for us about the blog, his life long love of Sci-fi, where he thinks Moffat had gone wrong and Capaldi in Paddington. We dedicate this episode to Charlie Hebdo.
