Latest Podcast Episodes

Our second entry in our Producer era Miniscopes sees us tackle the John Wiles era, a controversial six months in Doctor Who's long history that ushered in great changes and foreshadowed a great many more. Joining us to discuss the finer points of this tumultuous time is Toby Hadoke, and we also bring you an interview with Peter Purves, who played Steven Taylor throughout the Wiles era. Before that, Simon Harries drops by to discuss the news of the week with Steven and Warren. A jam packed episode, to be sure!

Poor Tegan. The Doctor just can't seem to find Heathrow for her. Maybe she should get Nyssa and Adric to fly her there, they seem to be able to pilot the TARDIS with pin point accuracy. And so it goes in the Fifth Doctor story, The Visitation. We're reviewing it this week, dontcha know.

The link to the Paul McGann audition clip is in last weeks show notes.

WARNING: Contains rabbit chasing

In this heavily edited edition of the Who's He? Podcast, Phil & Paul turn their attentions to the Target novelisation of Warriors of The Deep, that well known (for all the wrong reasons) 5th Doctor underwater adventure.  Does this book address the TV versions shortcomings or does the green paint from the Myrka reach the written page?  Tune in to find out!

And in the news this week, the BBC finally reveal their 50th Anniversary TV & radio scheduling to celebrate the show, the panels for the next 2 BFI events are also revealed which causes Phil and Paul to rub your noses in their good fortune and in Omega's Tat Corner, a piece of tat which makes the pair of them realise they are the darlings of every retirement home.

We go from curmudgeonly grandpa to cosmic hobo this week as we enter round two of our Top Eleven Doctors of All Time (in Chronological Order). Patrick Troughton brought a lot to the role, including his sense of whimsy and ability to walk ten feet without getting winded. And there’s a flute in there somewhere apparently? In any case, we use “The Mind Robber” and “Some Other Episodes, Probably” to take a good look back at the Second Doctor.

For this week’s WhoTube, the colours just keep on babeling with “Babelcolour Tribute: The Cosmic Hobo” - http://youtu.be/1Xm26StUZVY

IN THIS EPISODE: Part 3 in Our Peter Capaldi Trilogy as we address the backlash to the backlash to the backlash and so on. We also put our own personal spin on the 'Fangirl' debate. Inspired by the Verity! Podcast. 

Please enjoy. And don't have nightmares.

Radiophonic God, Dick Mills, talks to Siobhan about just how the Doctor Who theme was created. Sort of. Dick does have a slight tendency to, well... to ramble... But it's damn good rambling!

Recorded at Whooverville 5

"Lots of planets have a north!"

Yes, the grinning, jug-eared bloke from Northern Gallifrey makes his debut in 2005's seminal legend-resuscitator, Rose.

Everyone's favourite chav, the eponymous Rose Tyler, has a bronze medal in under-7s gymnastics, a boyfriend who goes from annoying to plastic to basket case in 45 minutes and a Mum who all but twerks at passing strangers.

No wonder she fancies a spot of travel. But first she must deal with plastic non-students, a disembodied arm, an internet weirdo and an angry vat of custard. These things happen when a benevolent alien blows up your job.

So what do Jim and Martin make of their tentative foray into nascent NuWho? Find out here (just don't mention the belching wheelie bin).
