Latest Podcast Episodes

So, after a month of waiting, the eighth episode of 'Terminus' is now finally finished and available for you! Many, many apologies, of course, but now that I'm finally past all the travel and the consequent illness (the derby tournament equivalent of con crud, methinks), I'm hoping I can start to get things back on track (I've had to juggle my schedule a bit though, so I'll be doing more anniversary episodes after the 50th!). Anyway, I'm hoping just after I post this to record the next episode about 'The Silver Nemesis', though it might be out after the 50th special at this rate (which I will also be doing an episode on, of course -- don't worry!). Oh, and being as I recorded this a month ago, some of the news-y, 'Happy Fandom Time' stuff is a bit dated, so sorry about that! *embarrassed*

Anyway, join me on this episode as I chat about 'The Five Doctors'. Also I chat about the new Second Doctor episodes found (yes, this episode was recorded that long ago!), the 'Day of the Doctor' teaser trailer, some local 'Day of the Doctor' celebratory stuff, and other things making me happy in fandom right now. Oh, and apparently every time I refer to the Big Finish audio 'An Earthly Child' in this episode, I sound like I'm saying 'Unearthly Child', which is a bit funny. Oops! Sorry about that! I hope I don't confuse you too-too much!

So, anyway, as always, glad to have you aboard and enjoy the ride!

This week we battled the evil monster known as SkypeLag to bring you a podcast full of squee and surprise. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy as we get happy about Who-things, gush about McGann, and find representative aspects where we least expected them.

Perhaps not a common choice, but one that made for a rollicking discussion!

This episode was recorded prior to the release of the minisode so we don't discuss that, but it was pretty awesome right?  Anyway what do we discuss?  Well, we go over some news, we also finish up our classic Doctor's discussion with the Seventh and Eighth Doctors, aka Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann.  Oh and by the way, we have a special treat for you!  We also share a great Doctor Who song for you from our good friend Amanda, so keep listening at the end and enjoy "Know Your Doctors" by Amanda Cohen!

Wow.  Who saw THAT coming?! Paul McGann BACK as The Doctor on our telly boxes!  But what did the DWP team make of it?! Join James, Tom and Stephen as they attempt to regulate their breathing so they can articulate their reactions to seven minutes of television no-one thought would ever exist….

Inevitably, discussion turns to Day of the Doctor – but don’t worry, it’s all spoiler-free. Mainly because we don’t know anything about the story!

Also, Ian and his son Alex pop into the Campervan to talk about Professor Brian Cox‘s  latest project, The Science of Doctor Who that screened on BBC2 the same day that Night of the Doctor was released.  What a week!

Join us Thursday – yes, Thursday – at 10.30pm GMT when Episode 236 will be online – a review Mark Gatiss’ An Adventure in Space and Time.

This week. We continue our look at some of our favourite Doctor Who stories. Pete had a vague memory of a 5th Doctor story he enjoyed, so we naturally convinced him it must be "The Caves of Androzani".

Also, we have a gander at that minisode that came out this week.

IN THIS EPISODE: Surprise Regeneration. And all that comes with it

On the fifth edition of Reality Bomb, the host becomes the hunted as Graeme Burk and his co-author Robert Smith? submit to Alex Kennard's questions about their new book, Who's 50: The 50 Doctor Who Stories To Watch Before You Die. Once Graeme gets back the interviewer's chair, we celebrate the 50th anniversary by talking to Taza McDoom, who watched the first episode of Doctor Who in 1963 and Wendy, a young Doctor Who fan. We also talk to Dr. Mary Jane Miller, emeritus professor of media studies at Brock University and author of many books on the history of Canadian television, about the career of Doctor Who co-creator Sydney Newman. And we chat with Felicity Kuzinitz about harrassment and conventions. All this plus a history of the Doctor Who theme you don't want to miss!

If I had talked about "The Night of the Doctor" right after it aired, this is what you would have heard:

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"

Fortunately for us all, there will be no squeeing or wibbling in today's podcast. There will be brief consideration of the petition currently asking for even more televised Eighth Doctor goodness, though.

Christian Cawley is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

What else could we discuss this week other than The Day of the Doctor, An Adventure in Space and Time and some of the other BBC TV and radio programming celebrating 50 years of Doctor Who?!

Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian Terranova get together for the last podKast before the big day to discuss their hopes and fears for the Doctor Who 50th anniversary. Along the way they may or may not mention Stef “The Dark” Coburn, the vast number of events taking place around the UK on TV, radio and in public buildings, the brain melting madness of an international simulcast and going to the cinema to watch Doctor Who and we’ll even find out what Brian thought of The Night of the Doctor (he was unavailable for last week’s reaktionKast).

Although given that Brian is a massive Eighth Doctor fan, you might as well skip this bit…

The post PodKast Previews Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Episode & Docudrama appeared first on Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews.

“This doesn’t roll along on wheels, you know!”

So there you have it, time travel technology explained in a nutshell.

Yes, it’s An Unearthly Child - the first ever four episodes of a wee programme called Doctor Who. We give it six months, if it’s lucky…

It’s a grimy old saga that begins with a foggy junkyard, a crafty old weasel and a police box that’s ALIVE!

Then we go back to our roots and join a convivial bunch of skull-cracking cave people, including a greasy-wigged leader, a prehistoric Lady Macbeth, a mighty-nosed sex pest and a poor man’s King Yrcanos.

Ian gets a shock, Babs gets hysterical, Susan gets her freak on and the Doctor gets on everyone’s nerves.

Fagin takes on Greg Sutton in a bone-splitting, pumpkin-smashing fight to the death, while Babs borrows Susan’s infamous trip-every-trip footwear for a moonlit dash to TARDIS.

So is the dawn of Mankind a good place to kick off our favourite Adventure in Space and Time? Listen in and find out…

In this week’s show we added a little something extra that wasn’t on the schedule. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you are aware that Steven Moffat and The BBC offered us a little surprise last week, with the release of The Night of the Doctor, featuring the long awaited return of Paul McGann on film as the Eighth Doctor. That could not go unaddressed, so finally our review of the minisode.

But, business as usual, we go back on schedule and take a look at The Doctor Revisited: The Tenth Doctor, and offer our impressions on the special.

Then, a look at Ten’s run with a retrospective on the era, revealing our, as well our listener’s picks for the most representative story.

Plus, a look a the other news of the week.

And, of course, your feedback.

Enjoy!

Change.org petition to bring McGann back as the Eighth Doctor

This time we trod off the well-beaten path and, rather than discuss a traditional Doctor Who story, we chose Steven Moffat’s 1999 Comic Relief special, Curse of the Fatal Death.  Fasten your seat belts and prepare yourself for five more new Doctors, architectural bribery, and Dalek bumps.  All in all, it should be a jolly good time.
