Welcome back Who fans! Since Capaldi’s first season aired in 2014 we’re now taking a look at Mummy on the Orient Express. News and merch round-up first.

The News

After many years and many discount codes the BBC Shop is closing it’s virtual doors and Peter Capaldi um’s and ah’s about his future on the show.

Merch Corner

Couple of new books landing soon – Yee Jee Tso, the 8th Doctor’s companion Chang Lee, is bringing out a new behind-the-scenes book – Time and Spaces: A Photo Journal of Doctor Who Filmimg, which looks at the filming of the TV Movie; another new book Saturday Night Monsters: A 100% Totally Unofficial Doctor Who Fanthology written by fans looks like a good read and Big Finish are re-releasing two of the best classic Who stories Spare Parts and The Chimes of Midnight on limited edition vinyl.

“Mummy on the Orient Express” Review

Adam has wanted to do this one for a while now but after a re-watch does it still hold the magic and mystery?

Thank you for all your reviews and audio clips, we appreciate them all as usual. Next week is a special show, we interview script editor in the McCoy era Andrew Cartmel which has some great insights and stories. Until then have a great week and remember – Allons-y!

This week we take one more spin with the Zygons, looking back at their most recent story, along with the Twelfth Doctor, Clara and Osgood (well the surviving Osgood, just don't ask if she's human or Zygon). The treaty is starting to fall apart and it’s up to the Doctor to try and pull it back together and face off with the leader of the renegade Zygons... who's far more threatening then her name may suggest.

Duration: 27:12

Deep within the disused World War Two pedalo pens on Diddly Dum Island lurks a familar shape. A full-sized Lego replica of Stingray waiting to take our podcasting heroes on a global tour of Doctor Who’s underwater story locations.

Gasp as you visit with us the ruins of ancient Atlantis. Thrill as we’re chased along the beach outside HMS Seaspite by angry Lego executives. Shudder as we enter a pitched battle with the Merkyr. Blanch as we milk the Skarasen for lactic fluid for our tea.

Along the way, we reveal the links between Seabase Four and TV game show 3-2-1, and we explain the importance of ankles in an underwater environment. Only on Diddly Dum.

SHOWNOTES

(00:01:26) In June, our own Mark attended his third consecutive “Sci-Fi By The Sea” convention. A few of his photos can be found on our Tumble page here and here.

(00:05:41) Samantha Womack (nee Janus) starred in “Game On”, a British sitcom which ran for three series on BBC2 from 1995 to 1998.

(00:07:59) John Leeson (born 1943) is of course a British actor who is known for playing the original Bungle in iconic children’s TV show “Rainbow” and for voicing K-9 in “Doctor Who”.

(00:10:07) It was on Diddly Dum Podcast episode 42 (Apprentice 2 A Pilot) that our former co-host Matt Charlton revealed that, so patently horrific was the first incarnation of Bungle from “Rainbow” and so apt to become a repressed memory, that he and his friends referred to him as The War Bungle. The clip occurs about 1 hour 28 mins into the podcast which can be found here.

(00:13:00) John Leeson’s signed photo for us as “The War Bungle” can be found on our Tumblr page here.

(00:16:55) Doctor Who Figurines – Eaglemoss Collections.

(00:19:00) Photos of Hayden’s signed book in Waterstones can be found on our Tumblr page here.

(00:20:25) Hayden’s new book “Captain Random vs The Sandman” is now published and photos can be found on our Tumblr page here.

(00:25:39) Allan and Mark appear on Miles Northcott’s “Doctor Who’s Line is it Anyway?” podcast, episode 73 “The Vegetation” which can be found here.

(00:43:45) “Hit and Run”, Episode 5 of Season 2 of “The Sweeney”, featuring Patrick Troughton can be viewed here. The “slag” scene occurs about 4 mins into the video.

(00:44:32) The trailer for “The Scars of Dracula”, featuring Patrick Troughton, can be viewed here.

(00:45:33) It was on Diddly Dum Podcast episode 71 (Dead Links) that Mark immortalised the use of the Dalekmania TARDIS prop in The Avengers episode “Target”. The section begins about 48 mins into the podcast which can be found here. The clip of the prop being blown up can be seen on our Youtube channel here.

(00:47:15) “The Tomorrow People” is a British children’s science fiction television series produced by Thames Television for the ITV Network, the series first ran from 1973 to 1979. A remake appeared in 1992. All incarnations of the show concerned the emergence of the next stage of human evolution (Homo novis) known colloquially as Tomorrow People. Born to human parents, an apparently normal child might at some point between childhood and late adolescence experience a process called ‘breaking out’ and develop special paranormal abilities. These abilities include psionic powers such as telepathy, telekinesis, and teleportation. However, their psychological make-up prevents them from intentionally killing others. The opening title sequence can be seen here.

(00:51:00) “A Man For Emily” is the third episode of season three of the original series of “The Tomorrow People”. Peter Davison in all his semi-naked glory can be found on our Tumblr page here.

(00:51:11) Photos of the gun prop being presented by Mark this week can be found on our Tumblr page here.

(00:56:09) “The TARGET Book” by David J Howe.

(01:07:28) Photos of Allan and Erica’s wedding cake can be found on our Tumblr page here.

(01:12:00) “I, Claudius” is a 1976 BBC Television adaptation of Robert Graves’ I, Claudius and Claudius the God. Written by Jack Pulman, it starred Derek Jacobi as Claudius. The series covers the history of the early Roman Empire, told from the perspective of the elderly Emperor Claudius who narrates the series.

( ) “The Lion in Winter” is a 1968 historical period drama film based on the Broadway play by James Goldman. It was directed by Anthony Harvey, written by James Goldman, and produced by Joseph E. Levine, Jane C. Nusbaum and Martin Poll from Goldman’s adaptation of his own play, The Lion in Winter. The film stars Peter O’Toole, Katharine Hepburn, John Castle, Anthony Hopkins (in his film debut in a major role), Jane Merrow and, in early appearances, Timothy Dalton (in his film debut) and Nigel Terry. The film was a commercial success (the 12th highest-grossing film of 1968) and won three Academy Awards, including one for Hepburn as Best Actress (tied with Barbra Streisand). There was a television remake in 2003.

(01:37:17) The closing music is Eleanor’s arrival at Chinon from “The Lion in Winter”.

Whew! Have any of you actually come back for episode 169? After last episode's drama, it's probably a good idea to sit back, relax, and talk about something a lot less likely to draw everyone into an argument. Sounds like the perfect time to discuss the nature of the 7th Doctor and the entirety of the New Adventures line! This week's episode of the Oncoming Storm sees Josh, Ashley, and Jeff discussing Head Games, by Steve Lyons. Is it a damning condemnation of the 7th Doctor, or a validation of doing what he must? And just what is that screaming redhead doing here? All of this will be examined, as well as the news and what Jeff thinks about the audio version of All Consuming Fire! The Oncoming Storm... This Time, there's no swearing. At least, not by us. This book does feature Ace, Benny, and Roz after all.

A warp ellipse draws the TARDIS onto what appears to be a stranded starliner. Nyssa and Tegan become separated from the Doctor; not in space, but 6 years into the past, while the Doctor has to deal with a curious schoolboy named Turlough, who has got himself mixed up with an old enemy. The Doctor’s old friend, the Brigadier, is enjoying life as a school teacher, but why doesn't he remember the Doctor at all?
