Last week was a really long show so thankfully this week we’re back to our (roughly) normal run time. Some viewing figure news, merch then our review of Smile.

The News

As last week, nothing major happening this week so we talk around confirmed viewing figures for The Pilot and some early stats for Smile.

Merch Corner

Merch is mixed this week; a fairly strange looking LED torch (with what seems like the 12th Doctor’s sonic but with the top missing?) and the great looking Doctor Who/Mr. Men books and merch that just recently launched.

“Smile” Review

Series 10 continues with episode 2 – Smile. After the pretty awesome opener can this continue the momentum and bring us another belter or does it leave us feeling a bit ?

Thank you so much as always for listening and giving us your thoughts. Next week we’ll dive into episode 3 – Thin Ice so we look forward to your reviews. Until then have a great week and remember – Allons-y!

Andy, Nic and Derek review this weeks Doctor Who and honestly, they’re not having to force themselves to smile. So please don’t kill them…. And the ratings are in. Gulp.\Andy, Nic and Derek review this weeks Doctor Who and honestly, they’re not having to force themselves to smile. So please don’t kill them…. And the ratings are in. Gulp.

The Doctor is back, facing his old nemesis, the Rani. This time, it's the Puck-ish, Sylvester McCoy as the seventh incarnation of the Doctor and we see the whole, "Pick a Costume" routine, but with great comic flair and timing. This is the beginning of the end of the Old Who years, but some of the best stories and writing are featured in these last couple of seasons. Is "Time and the Rani" one of those greats? Sit back, and listen as we break it down.

Hey Who fans, it’s episode 49! Some really cool news items to go through then it’s pirates and treasure for this week’s review.

The News

There’s been some initial buzz for Who fans since the reveal that Doctor Who is to feature in the upcoming LEGO Dimensions game. That news was trumped when this week a new video surfaced showing lots of Who gameplay, consisting of 12th Doctor malarky, Tardis interior (which looks awesome) plus a regeneration sequence showing all of the Doctor’s, right back to Hartnell, seemingly as playable characters. We can’t wait for this one.

We could be in for an episode with some cool Douglas Adams references in Series 9. Some pics have popped up showing some of the latest sets and one features three Tardis Blue coloured bottles with the words “Part 10″ but also the words “Answer to the question of life, the universe and everything in the galaxy.”, with some Gallifreyan behind them. There’s also references to 42, which we all know as the answer to the question of life, the universe and everything. These could be some cool setup’s for Series 9 or they could be just small hat tips to Douglas.

The official DW Instagram account has been putting up some very cryptic images of late. Blurry and out of focus shots with alien makeup being applied, haunted mansions, strange alien symbols and plenty of other stuff. They’re very good at teasing us right now.

“The Curse of the Black Spot” Review

We were looking forward to this one as hey, who doesn’t like pirates but do we get plenty of grrrr and sea shanty with this Matt Smith episode or is it a bit wet and damp?

This week’s trivia question

Last episode we asked you – Which floor on Satellite 5 was Medical Nonemergency? The answer is 16.

This week’s question is – When the Doctor first met Amy where did he say the swimming pool was? Give us your answer in the comments below or post it on Twitter or Facebook. Good luck!

Thanks me harty’s for sticking with us through episode 49 and thank you as always for your great comments, please keep them coming. Enjoy all the Who news still to come out of Comic Con and until next week – Allons-y!

We’ve all had that annoying relative that says “Smile!” when all you want to do is spit in their face and pout. Well, in “Smile,” we see both of those relatives, and it doesn’t go well for either of them. There’s something to the advice, if you believe old 12 and about five thousand Facebook posts – smiling can boost your mood. Whatever, we don’t cotton to that nonsense at the Arrow of Time.

Tom and Louis take a side step into the world of animation for a discussion of the 2003 webcast, Scream of the Shalka, starring Richard E. Grant as the Doctor! Topics of discussion include animation budgets, robot roommates, and the new series that never was.

In which we put a phrase in a mausoleum. And there's a good chance that Brandon doesn't know what a mausoleum actually is.

This week, Series 10 continues with the second episode "Smile", and for the most part Brandon and Danica stay on topic. But then there's the potential of Torchwood porn and alternative meanings for the BBC. And also Danica is horribly insensitive about British history, but to be fair, the British are history's villain. Except when there are Nazis or sometimes the French.

Outro music is "Smile Like You Mean It" by Rhi Victoria

Jason and Paul are back to review the episode “Smile,” the second episode of Series 10! What happens when social media communication and the ultimate pursuit of happiness goes wrong? This episode. Keep smiling while you enjoy your fishy jello and back away slowly…this episode could be dangerous.
