Enjoy the show.

"You mustn't watch this": Possibly a warning that Whovians should have heeded! This week on PODcastica, we try to figure out exactly what happened in the found footage episode "Sleep No More". We found that when you don't really enjoy an episode, it's hard to get excited about it. But FEAR NOT, listeners! Our hosts finish this episode strongly with trying to explain what they think actually happened on the wreckage of the Le Verrier Space Station (Terms and Conditions apply)!

Second Doctor, Jamie, and ZoeThis week - why you shouldn't join Team Elephant, discover what podcast the Ice Warriors listen to, what all the sexy dancing is about, plus the return of foam. By the late 21st century, mankind has become totally dependent on t-mat to transport people, food and medicines around the world, and when the system breaks down, earth is soon crippled by global shortages. Travelling to the relay station on the moon, the doctor and his companions discover the horrific truth: ice warriors have hijacked t-mat, and intend to claim the planet earth for themselves. Can the doctor defeat the martians before earth is smothered in deadly fungus?Written By: Brian Hayles & Terrance DicksDirected By: Michael FergusonLinks:Bad Seed Brewery

We're throwing ourselves full-force into speculation about the remaining three episodes of Series 9! We attempt to answer some unsolved mysterious: what is the Hybrid? How will the Doctor's confession dial come into play? And why did Missy choose Clara in the first place? All this and much, much more in this week's Doctor Who discussion.

Our heroes find themselves in a strange, swampy, and stinky forest, and to pass the time they talk about "Vengeance on Varos", the titillating adventure featuring the Sixth Doctor and Peri.

Is this story a foreboding prediction of the television that would come? Or did it leave us thirsty for more (and perhaps a nice glass of Perrier?). Listen and find out!

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.

PodKasting as a duo this week, Brian A Terranova and James McLean give their thoughts on a couple of recent news items before turning their attention to two Cybermen stories.

Revenge of the Cybermen in 1975 was the cyborg race’s first appearance since 1969, while Rise of the Cybermen/Age of Steel was their introduction to nuWho (a brief cameo in Dalek notwithstanding). Both stories attempted to rewrite the Cyberman legend, with varying levels of success, and also featured a Doctor with two companions.

While it is difficult to establish which story is “best”, Brian and James nevertheless have a great discussion about their likes and dislikes about the two stories.

Goodbye England, and hello New York! Long Island, to be precise, the home of Long Island Who and the setting of this episode of Radio Free Skaro. Steven, Warren, and Chris took in "Sleep No More," Mark Gattis's found footage exploration of sleep deprivation and eye gunk, and then leapt to the stage in front of a live audience to give ill informed opinions and generally ponce about! (Note: there is a slight buzz for the first six minutes of the recording, but it disappears after that.)

Matt takes a quick look at S9E09 "Sleep No More". If you have any thoughts feel free to send them to uswhocast@gmail.com

Deadly divas, anyone? This week our villainous discussion centers on the ladies. For a change, we have a jumping off point--and it's VAM! (That's "value-added material", as in DVD extras.) Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we discuss one of the extras on the Shada DVD set. (Spoiler: We're much more excited about this one than the last one we talked about.) What does it mean to be a diva? Do all the female baddies on the show (and included the extra) qualify? Our discussion ranges beyond "Those Deadly Divas", so if you haven't seen it, don't fear, there's plenty here for you too. Add our "happy-Who-things", plus a special announcement, and you've got yourself a rollicking episode of Verity!

Oh, and shout-out to the iTunes review that inspired this week's title.

We're throwing ourselves full-force into speculation about the remaining three episodes of Series 9! We attempt to answer some unsolved mysterious: what is the Hybrid? How will the Doctor's confession dial come into play? And why did Missy choose Clara in the first place? All this and much, much more in this week's Doctor Who discussion.

This week, we head off into the far future of the distant planet Pluto (yes, we know, shut up), to liberate humanity from the Company, in The Sun Makers. Hey Cordo, don’t bogart the pentocyleinicmethylhydrane, man.

Buy the story!

The Sun Makers was released on DVD in 2009. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Notes and links

William Simons, who plays sub-Blakean rebel leader Mandrell in this story, is more famous for his role in ITV period police drama series Heartbeat, playing Alf Ventress.

The Company takes Marx’s phrase “opiate of the masses” quite literally, drugging its oppressed population to keep them compliant. The Federation will adopt a similar tactic in Season 4 of Blakes 7, using the drug Pylene 50.

Hooray! It’s the long-awaited return of German Expressionism.

Richard points out the similarities between this story and The Space Merchants, a 1952 novel by Frederik Pohl and Cyril M. Kornbluth. It’s still in print. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Richard also points out the story’s many visual references to Fritz Lang’s Metropolis (1927).

How long since we last referenced Susan Sontag’s 1964 essay Notes on Camp? Far too long, if you ask me.

Henry Woolf, the Collector in this story, had already appeared in Eric Idle’s sketch comedy show Rutland Weekend Television. You can see him with Idle in this sketch, called Gibberish. He also appeared in BBC children’s programme Words and Pictures. Watch him here, he’s delightful.

After the credits, we chat briefly about the Big Finish Blakes 7 audio series, The Liberator Chronicles.

Notes and links

William Simons, who plays sub-Blakean rebel leader Mandrell in this story, is more famous for his role in ITV period police drama series Heartbeat, playing Alf Ventress.

The Company takes Marx’s phrase “opiate of the masses” quite literally, drugging its oppressed population to keep them compliant. The Federation will adopt a similar tactic in Season 4 of Blakes 7, using the drug Pylene 50.

Hooray! It’s the long-awaited return of German Expressionism.

Richard points out the similarities between this story and The Space Merchants, a 1952 novel by Frederik Pohl and Cyril M. Kornbluth. It’s still in print. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Richard also points out the story’s many visual references to Fritz Lang’s Metropolis (1927).

How long since we last referenced Susan Sontag’s 1964 essay Notes on Camp? Far too long, if you ask me.

Henry Woolf, the Collector in this story, had already appeared in Eric Idle’s sketch comedy show Rutland Weekend Television. You can see him with Idle in this sketch, called Gibberish. He also appeared in BBC children’s programme Words and Pictures. Watch him here, he’s delightful.

After the credits, we chat briefly about the Big Finish Blakes 7 audio series, The Liberator Chronicles.
