Latest Podcast Episodes

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.

In an occasional series of interviews to celebrate Doctor Who's half century, the Who's He? Podcast talks to various fans, bloggers and podcasters about their love of Doctor Who in the lead up to the 50th Anniversary on 23rd November 2013.

In the last interview of this series, Phil chats to Paul Heath from The Pharos Project about his memories of growing up reading the Doctor Who Target novelisations, how he evetually started watching the TV series and how The Pharos Project morphed from being a pure Doctor Who podcast into embracing all things geek.

With less than a week until "The Day of the Doctor", the Two Who Rule (Warren and Steven, Chris was on assignment with UNIT) were positively giddy with anticipation for the 50th anniversary adventure to hit their eye bulbs in glorious 3D. But before that momentous event, the BBC released "The Night of the Doctor," with a shocking appearance by Paul McGann! Lest you think that was the only treat for Whovians this week, a 2-minute clip from Day of the Doctor was also released in conjunction with Children in Need (which we will not discuss here, spoilerphobes), and various idents and other fripfrap also helped to fuel the hype machine. But, let's be honest, what you're really here for is our final Miniscope, this time with Richard Molesworth (author of a new book called "Robert Holmes: A Life in Words") discussing the Phillip Hinchcliffe era. We've very much enjoyed doing these Miniscopes, and we hope you've enjoyed listening to them. And three lucky listeners won copies of Adventures with the Wife in Space, written by friend of the show (and last week's guest!) Neil Perryman! Who were the winners? You'll just have to listen to find out!

Summary:
Preempting our scheduled commentary due to British celebratory statute:

Adam J Purcell, Andy Simpkins, Fake Keith, Jean Riddler, the Real Keith Dunn and Scott Fuller sit down, mind probed, in front of the 1983 Doctor Who anniversary special, The Five Doctors, and spout more than our usual nonsense and generally get in the mood for the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary!

Warning: This commentary is at least three times more boisterous than our average effort. Do not listen if you have a history of mind probing in your family or you have ever lost a beloved pet yeti in a freak fireworks accident.

The Doctor is plucking at the harp strings, the Doctor is playing with his Galactic Glitter, the Doctor is taking Rassilon’s tower from above, the Doctor is trapped in some film offcuts and the Doctor is a fake. But enough of their problems, please sit down with us to enjoy Doctor Who’s Twentieth Anniversary Special – The Five Doctors...

Something that rhymes with eleven, it’s time for Doctor eleven! That’s right, with only a week to go until the 50th Anniversary we talk about Matt Smith for a surprisingly long time considering we’ve been podcasting about him for years now. Nevertheless, people grow and opinions change, so grab your quirky friend Geoff and enjoy this eleventieth and final ode to the Doctors (at least, for now)!
