As we face a cold dark winter before the return of Doctor Who in April, we're going to be taking a few trips in the Wayback Machine to look at two different periods from the original series. Our first stop: an overview of the time of Mr. Peter Davison, the fifth actor to play the role of the Doctor, and we’re starting with his inaugural 1981 serial that launched a new era for classic Who. So join Derek Gladu, Eric Mendoza, Beverly Brown and special guest Phil Cannon from the Who's He? Podcast as we try to make our way through 'Castrovalva'.

And take a listen to Mr. Cannon's most excellent Who's He? Podcast.

Brr… Do you feel a chill? As though someone just wrote a terrible opening to a podcast description? Don’t worry, it’s just the snowmen! I mean “The Snowmen!” And you should probably worry, because they might/will eat you/your thoughts. The only defense is listening to Matt, Joseph, Dave, and Gabe talk about The Doctor, Clara, some old guy, and lots of snowmen in our latest episodic outing! Well, that or a flamethrower. Maybe they put those inside Christmas crackers.

The post Episode 23 – The One About the Hobbit, The Snowmen and the 50th appeared first on Transmissions From Atlantis.

Happy New Year to all! Now that the formalities are dealt with, this isn't what your were probably expecting. Our review of The Snowmen has been lost to the the frustrations of a digital age. meaning we muffed it and it didn't record properly. However, in place of that, we have a treat for you. Well, a treat if you happen to be a fan of this movie. Up for discussion this week, Alan Parker's 1987 film Angel Heart. We're joined by Mr. Ash from the Nights At The Round Table Podcast as we answer all your questions (from 1987) about the twisting, turning, conundrum that is Mickey Rourke's face.

In this week’s show wer join the Fifth Doctor on two adventures. First is the televised story, The Awakening, featuring companions Tegan and Turlough. Next is the Big Finish audio, Loups-Garoux this time with just Turlough and the Doctor.

Also, some news about 11 e-short stories being published on-line to accompany the 50th anniversary year and featuring every Doctor. This month’s announced author can be found on the Doctor Who Facebook page.

And, of course you feed back, preceded by a “new and improved” feedback jingle hot off the presses from Shaun. You might be familiar with the tune.

Enjoy!

It's a new year and we have a new TARDIS interior.  It looks great, but not counting set builders, how did the Doctor do it?  This week we look into the technical aspects of how the TARDIS redecorates and reconfigures herself.

That, some feedback and Daisy's winter cold are all here for you to enjoy!

After something of an extended break, Caleb and Sarah are back with our verdict on The Snowmen, the 2012 Doctor Who Christmas special! With a new title sequence, new TARDIS and above all new companion, the feisty Clara, ably played by Jenna-Louise Coleman, there’s plenty for us to talk about… not to mention abominable snowmen, Victorian values, lesbian interspecies marriage, the place of Sherlock Holmes in the Whoniverse, and Matt Smith sporting a specially fine hat!

Stay tuned for our anniversary-year coverage of Doctor Who, as we celebrate each of the eleven Doctors from the last 50 years, one per month, and count down to the big day on 23rd November 2013!

It's a return to our series 3 retrospective with a look at The Shakespeare Code.  However, this week there is a change in the presenting line up as Phil is joined by the excellent Martyn Havell from the Bad Wilf Podcast who makes a long overdue return to the show.  So how does this historical story hold up after all this time?  Is it more Kenneth Brannagh's Hamlet or more Jet Li's Romeo Must Die?  Find out what they think and as a bonus you will also discover that Chevy Chase is God and Haircut 100 rule!!

And in a very slow news week, 50th Anniversary rumours are dashed, an announcement of Puffin Books contribution to the Doctor's 50th and more stats!

Happy New Year! After battling illness and ennui over the past week and a half, the Three Who Rule are back with a bumper episode to launch 2013, the centrepiece of which is an epic interview with Kevin Jon Davies. Davies was the director and producer of "More Than 30 Years In The TARDIS", the BBC's official 30th anniversary celebration for Doctor Who, but his connection to the worlds of Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, and Blake's 7, made for a fascinating chat. Also, your three hosts run down the Christmas time viewing figures, discuss their importance, and also talk about puppies. Six weeks until Gallifrey One!

For those of you that we’re sitting on the edges of your seat at the end of last month, waiting for December’s episode, we apologize that we’re a little behind.  Occasionally real life does get in the way, and busy holiday plans on both our parts forced us to release the December episode a few days into January.

This month we present a discussion of The Time Travellers by Simon Guerrier, a BBC Past Doctors adventure featuring the First Doctor, Susan, Barbara, and Ian.  From the back cover:

‘Have you ever thought what it’s like to be wanderers in the fourth dimension, to be exiles?’

24 June, 2006.  The TARDIS has landed in London.  Ian and Barbara are almost back home.  But this isn’t the city they knew.  This London is a ruin, torn apart by war.  A war that the British are losing.

With his friends mistaken for vagrants and sentenced to death, the Doctor is press-ganged into helping perfect a weapon that might just turn the tables in the war.  The British Army has discovered time travel.  And the consequences are already devastating.

What has happened to the world that Ian and Barbara once knew?  Hoe much of the experiment do the Doctor and Susan really understand?

And, despite all the Doctor has said to the contrary, is it actually possible to change history?

The Time Travellers was Simon Guerrier’s first novel, and most recently he has written the New Series Adventures The Slitheen Excursion and the acclaimed The Pirate Loop, both featuring the Tenth Doctor.  Aside from his work with the Doctor Who series, who also wrote novels for the shows Primevil and Being Human.
