“Midnight” Review

Tense, creepy, atmospheric, scary. These words have all been used to describe this Tennant story but does it keep us gripped or does it wish we’d stayed in the spa? Find out as we drive through the sapphire landscapes of Midnight.

Thank you listening and sending in your comments and audio clips, we really appreciate it. Next week we venture back to the Troughton era with our review of The Tomb of the Cybermen so look out for our Facebook post to leave your thoughts. If you’re an iTunes listener we’d really appreciate a review, it helps us a lot. Have a great week and until next time – Allons-y!

"Mark Elstob is just Glorious...His Number 6 is better and more personal than the original... Thoughly enjoyable, throughly captivating... This is Nic Briggs Prisoner and its a worthy addition to the Prisoner Canon." I'm not a number. I'm a free man!' January 16th, 1967... A secret agent resigns, then wakes up to find himself imprisoned in 'The Village' - a bizarre community with a cheery veneer, but an underbelly of mystery and threat. All occupants of The Village have numbers instead of names, with our secret agent forced to accept the mantle of Number Six. The authorities running this Village are intent on discovering why Number Six resigned - but it's a secret he steadfastly refuses to divulge. As the drama unfolds, the authorities, in the guise of the sinister Number Two, try ever more ingenious and aggressive means to bend Number Six to their will. All the while, Number Six is intent on two aims: to escape and to find out 'Who is Number One?'. 2.1 I Met a Man Today (adapted from Many Happy Returns) Exhausted after a daring escape from the Village, Six returns to London to find a woman living in his home. Despite being fearful that this could be yet another trick by those who run the Village, he dares to take the risk and starts to get to know her... Meanwhile, those running British Intelligence have their own agenda. 2.2 Project Six (adapted from A, B and C) Six is now certain he can't trust anyone. Any food or water in the Village could be laced with chemicals to alter his mental state. Going 'nil by mouth' in an attempt to prevent potential drugging, he finds himself dazed and confused by hunger and dehydration. And a prisoner in a secret laboratory makes some unnerving claims. Claims that lead to the identity of Number One. 2.3 Hammer into Anvil (adapted from the TV episode of the same title) For the new Number Two 'the gloves are off'. His mission is to break Six, saying he must be either hammer or anvil. But Six has a plan to exploit a weakness in the system. 2.4 Living in Harmony (not adapted from the TV episode of the same title) Six finds himself in entirely unfamiliar circumstances. He is also confronted with the seemingly impossible return of Number Nine. But worst of all, he is faced with a deadly choice. Just how much is his freedom really worth? Written By: Nicholas Briggs Directed By: Nicholas Briggs Cast Mark Elstob (Number Six), Lucy Briggs-Owen (Kate Butterworth), Susan Earnshaw(Brenda), Jim Barclay (Control), Barnaby Edwards (Danvers / Shopkeeper), John Heffernan (Thorpe), Sarah Mowat (Janet), Sara Powell (Number Nine / Number 90), Andrew Ryan (Number 52), Nicholas Briggs (Number 99), Jez Fielder (Number 48), Deirdre Mullins (Number Two), Helen Goldwyn (Barmaid / Village Voice / Village Clone / Number 26 / Lunar Controller / Moon Clone / Observation Controller), Michael Cochrane (Number Two).

Episode 53 - Doctor Who fan, political animal and friend of the podcast David Kitchen joins Rob for a lengthy discussion about how Doctor Who, in front of the camera and behind it, has dealt with the thorny issue of politics. What fan shibboleths does Dave demolish during our chat? What events in the Doctor Who universe could possibly have led to alleged (and cleared) murderer Jeremy Thorpe ever becoming PM? Did you hear the one about the Communist, a Tory and environmentalist walking into the BBC canteen in 1973? Should Doctor Who even delve into politically dangerous waters? And finally, how has the modern series dealt with the thorny political topics of today? All this and a discussion about real world politics, a short message from our friend and mentor, Sharak Jizz and make sure you listen to the very end for a musical Easter egg from the one time Australian Federal Minister of Education!

An American Dr. Who ?! AM Audio Media takes a cheeky look at an alternate time line where Doctor Who became very, very American with ‘Dark Odyssey.’ Dark Odyssey features Atweh Atweh as The Doctor, Paul Thomas Manz as The Master, Jason Gray as the Narrator and introducing Merrin Lalonde as The Russian Eyecandy, Written by MA Tamburro, Music by Joshua Hemming, Art by Dave Ladkin with Sound Design by Kevin Gray. The Doctor is Back and it’s about time.

Toni and Joe discuss whether or not the Classic Doctor Who serial The Green Death is cool beans. This episode is brought to you by Friend of Rassilon Matt Golden.

On this week's episode: we get afraid of wifi as we watch the series seven episode called... called... ugh. I think I lost the name of the title again already. Hmm. Well, whatever it is, there's a heaping spoonful of misogyny in there because we can't have nice things. Also, we talk about that. The part where we can't have nice things, but we SHOULD, because sci-fi can be ANYTHING TO ANYBODY, so why not do that? And uh OH OH OH, it was called "The Bells of Saint John". Ha. I KNEW I'd remember that.

Outro music is "Hey Girl" by Tacocat.

MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast is back, and we're discussing the CLASSIC story from the Tom Baker era, "The Horns of Nimon"! Now, Nimon isn't in a class with the very best Baker stories (Genesis of the Daleks, City of Death, Deadly Assassin, Ark in Space), but it's one that likely made an indelible impression if you've ever seen it. It takes a classic story from Greek Mythology; puts a Whovian Sci-Fi spin on it; yet really and truly shows the limitations of classic Who and how sometimes, things JUST. DON'T. WORK. From a truly dodgy envisioning of the Nimon to middling pacing to spectacularly over-the-top performances - both Graham Crowden (who was almost the 4th Doctor!) as Soldeed and Malcolm Terris as the Co-Pilot are chewing scenery by the mouthful, Nimon shows how a Who story can fail, yet still be glorious, campy fun, if you're in the right mood. John and I will discuss all of this and more. If it's a story you've seen, you can nod and laugh along with us (hopefully). If you have NOT seen it, maybe we'll convince you to give it a try!

Plus, Nimon-related trivia and some news! Have a listen, won't you? Happy Holidays!
