But there is talk of intriguing Season 8 guest star Keeley Hawes,  Olaf Pooley (Professor Stahlman in "Inferno") turning 100, and whimsical speculation about Fonzie LEGO minifigs jumping over LEGO sharks.

Synopsis 23 November 2013. In an Oxford laboratory, graduate Alice Watson helps Professor Chivers assemble the final pieces of an impossible machine. A time machine. The scientist and his assistant believe they are making history, little suspecting that the project’s completion will threaten the existence of the entire universe. But someone has sensed the danger, and when the mysterious Doctor arrives, Alice is taken on a desperate race from libraries and dreaming spires all the way to the nightmare world of Earth’s future. The monstrous Creevix are coming. They seek control of time itself and are certain that the Doctor is already too late to stop them.  But can the key to saving the future lie in the Time Lord’s past lives? Written By: Matt FittonDirected By: John Ainsworth Cast Jenna Coleman, Michael Cochrane (Chivers), Nicholas Briggs(The Creevix)

The Ides of March are upon us, so to celebrate we'll be joining The First Doctor, Vicki, Ian and Barbara as they take a vacation near Rome around 64 A.D. For once the vacation goes off without much of a hitch and a month on there is no signs of any sort of adventures. Of course that never stopped the Doctor and while heading to Rome gets involved with a political plot, though Ian and Barbra fare no better when trouble manages to find them.

MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast returns with the first in a series of 50th Anniversary special episodes - we each pick a favorite episode from each of the 20th and 21st century Who and also an episode that we feel is underrated or underappreciated.  We also add in some Big Finish and Novel recommendations.

Firstly, though, we fire up the Speculatron to discuss the casting of Keeley Hawes in Doctor Who Series 8 and what that could mean, once we mix in some intriguingly Masterful comments from Sylvester McCoy over the weekend.

Plus, of course, TRIVIA!

Eps discussed: Caves of Androzani; Battlefield; Ribos Operation; Masque of Mandragora; Girl in the Fireplace; Father's Day; Fires of Pompeii; Midnight.

It's time once again to focus on something a little more current, and by "current" we mean something that has been released on DVD in the past 30 days (albeit televised in 1967). We turn our gravity telescopes to bear on "The Moonbase" the Second Doctor adventure featuring Ben, Polly, and (sort of) Jamie. It's also notable in that it's the second story, after "The Tenth Planet", with the Cybermen.

Joining us for this ride 238,855 (that's a fun fact, Google it!) is our friend John Branigan, formerly of The Cyber Testicle Podcast, although he's now being syndicated on A Mostly Harmless Cutaway. We can't tell you how much fun it is while we get drunk in the morning with a chap six time zones away.

Synopsis Space travellers are warned to keep away from the area of the planet Asphya and its unremarkable moon Erys. Not the best place to materialise the TARDIS, then – as the Doctor discovers when his ship is raided by the imp-like Drachee, and his companion Flip is carried away… But the TARDIS isn’t the only stricken vessel in the region. Aboard a nearby space yacht, the Doctor encounters a woman who holds in her head the secret of Erys – a secret suppressed by amnesia, or worse. Flip, too, is about to learn Erys’ secret. But once you know Erys’ secret, you can never escape. Written By: Andrew SmithDirected By: Nicholas Briggs Cast Colin Baker (The Doctor), Lisa Greenwood (Flip Jackson), Nicola Sian (Sarra Vanser/Female Drachee), Tori Hart (Lona), Chris Overton (Terrill/Levek), Brian Shelley (Renval/Erys), Glynn Sweet(Elgin Vanser)

There’s a new companion in our future, as you have probably already heard because it was announced a billionty weeks ago. I will now attempt to distract you from our tardiness with a bulleted list of topics discussed on this episode of the podcast:

• New companion Danny Pink (pictured)
• Companions in general
• Doctor Who‘s schedule
• Pros and cons of a changing fan base
• Is Stephen Moffat going to leave because he’s a big whiner who says that he doesn’t have enough time to work on anything but Doctor Who even though there’s only like a dozen episodes a year and besides it’s his own fault that it takes so long anyway
• Pants

Dave also introduces the Arrow of Time Book Corner, wherein he talks about Tiny Acts of Rebellion by Rich Fulcher.

And WhoTube this week is “Doctor Who – Love Don’t Die” from user LiveLikeHeroes:

In episode 3 of Doctor Who: Time Signatures I dig into some sound studies and film music studies terminology to talk about the role of audio backgrounds in television and film. How do film and television define their narrative space with sound? What role does ambient background sound play in making a cohesive narrative?
