Yeti menacing the London underground — one of the most iconic images of Doctor Who in the 1960s; and we discuss The Web of Fear in this podcast. Ben recalls how the Target cover by Chris Achilleos for The Abominable Snowmen with its yeti with a hint of fang helped confuse him when he first saw the mark 2 version. David fell in love with this story after hearing the narrated soundtrack and dreams about being a yeti cosplayer at Doctor Who conventions. We touch upon the missing episode 3 and how the fan animation made by Adam Bullock helped bridge the gap in 2013 and what to make of the new 3d motion-capture animation. Opening music is "Palpitations", composed by J. Scott and, closing music is "Music For Strings, Percussion, and Celesta, SZ 106 - 3. Adagio", composed by Béla Bartók and performed by RIAS Symphony Orchestra, directed by Ferenc Fricsay. We recorded this episode on 13 March 2022.

Another fallow week of news and surprisingly little tat as we tap our toes and twiddle our thumbs in anticipation of “Legend of the Sea Devils” but we do have confused old person ramblings about Fortnite, nostalgic old person waxings in The Timelash, and the first part of our elderly Classic Series Commentary musings about the classic 1975 Doctor Who story “Planet of Evil”!

Review - Bloodtide

This month Phil and Paul challenge the evolution of humankind by taking a look at Bloodtide from Big Finish.

The News

Christopher Eccleston has demands if he is return for Doctor Who's 60th Anniversary and we say goodbye to 3 people from Doctor Who.

Welcome to the 18th episode of the podcast we’re dropping on the feed every month in between our regular monthly shows.

Normally Rob sits down with his co-host Dave, or a guest, to talk about letters from classic issues of Doctor Who Magazine.

In today’s podcast, however, Dave is presenting letters to Rob from a classic issue of Sonic Screwdriver – the fanzine of the Victorian Doctor Who Fan Club.

This is Doctor Who without a safety net. The conversations could go anywhere the guest wants them to go.

It's January 1976, and season 2 of Doctor Who Literature begins with a look at Terrance Dicks' second novelization of a Tom Baker episode: Doctor Who and the Loch Ness Monster, a quick-to-print adaptation of the Season 13 series premiere, "Terror of the Zygons".

Jason is joined at the top of the hour by Simon Hart (@SiHart) as we discuss how Terrance's novelization differs in many key ways from the TV broadcast. What do Doctor Who monsters sound like when we're reading these books as kids, before having seen the TV story in question? Did Si remember to charge his laptop before the recording started? And can Jason stump Si in a game of "20 Questions"?

In the second half of the program, Jason takes his signature close look at Terrance Dicks' writing style. Is this book a mere transcript of the TV episodes, devoid of extra insights or observational humor? Far, far from it.

This hour features a musical snippet from Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.
