Latest Podcast Episodes

This week Jason is joined by Lewis Baston, author of a forthcoming Obverse Books' Black Archive book on the Doctor Who serial "The Sun Makers", to talk about Malcolm Hulke's February 1976 novelization of "Invasion of the Dinosaurs"... but, fear not, we get plenty of talk in about "The Sun Makers", too.

Later on, Jason breaks down all the ways, plot-wise and dialogue-wise, and tone-wise, how the novelization differs so greatly from the TV serial.

Along the way, we also discuss Von Daniken, play a game of 20 Questions, and give a look at the new trailer for Doctor Who: "Legend of the Sea Devils".

Wow two Brigadiers for the price one. Ross and Vic chat about the Season 20 Return of the beloved Brig and the introduciton of Turlough. We chat hallway acting, Tegan's outfit and it's lack of effect on the British school boy.

Waffle On about Pork's

Hello and welcome to this months episode of Waffle On podcast in which Meds and Kell chat away about this 1982 comedy Porky's. The lads also chat briefly about the recent illness of Bruce Willis and of course the infamous happy slapping incident at this years Oscars ceremony. 

As usual please do share the podcast and come and join our Facebook group for updates and general chat. 

We will see you next month for...... The French Connection.

The award-winning Black Archive is a bi-monthly series of independently-published book-length looks at Doctor Who stories - and they've featured both of the Eighth Doctor's outings on TV.

In Doctor Who (1996) Paul Driscoll looks at the Paul McGann TV movie as a functional series pilot, as a reinvention of the Doctor and of the 20th-century Doctor Who formula, and as a ‘bridge’ to the 21st-century revival, while James Cooray Smith examines seven exceptional minutes of Doctor Who, suggesting The Night of the Doctor is a revisionist return to Doctor Who’s past, typical of showrunner Steven Moffat, and a televisual coup despite its online release.

Kenny meets range editor Stuart Douglas, and later, Kenny and Becca discuss their love of a good critical study.

You can find out more about these two books from http://obversebooks.co.uk/theblackarchive/eighth/. 

It's like the mad tea party, in space. It's a trippy episode this week, so buckle up!

One of the co-hosts of THE Doctor Who Podcast joins us this month  - it's Ian Dudley!  We discuss his podcast beginnings and how he discovered Doctor Who.

Then Ian brings along his Pick of the Month, the 1998 vampire crime drama, Ultraviolet!  We talk about how this particular series treats vampirism scientifically, whether or not it would thrive as a reboot, and a little known actor called Idris Elba.

But before we get to Ian, Brent sits down with actress, writer, & director Jane Slavin to chat about her time on Ultraviolet and her recent stint as Anya Kingdom in Big Finish's Dalek Universe!

AND stay tuned after the credits for Jane Slavin's story about driving the BMW Z3.

Turn Left; Adam, Debbie, Ben, Kirby, Mary and Kirsty make their minds up about which was to turn, Then we have feedback, Ben's quizzy thing and what we watched this week.

"Das ist Comedy-Gold. Wie die versuchen diesen armen Nabil Shaban, der ja schon keine Beine hat, auch noch in ein zu kleines Sil-Kostüm zu quetschen"

Getreu nach dem Motto "Auge um Auge, Zahn um Zahn", oder wie wir im Rheinland gerne sagen "Wurst wider Wurst", begrüßt Raphael in der heutigen Folge die Podcaster-Kollegen vom Kamehameha-Podcast. Da es mittlerweile Usus geworden ist, dass Raphael an verschiedenen Feiertagen gruseligen Dragonball-Dinge besprechen muss, hat er sich dieses Mal eine Perle aus dem Whoniversum für seine Mitcaster herausgesucht: Sil And The Devil Seeds Of Arodor. Ist es der Rache würdig oder ist es doch eher Kunst?

We promised our March episode would be a light and frothy romp, as we placed TARDIS teams into movies. This one's a riff on our Crossovers episode from back in 2021, putting TARDIS teams into TV shows. This time around, however, it's the silver screen that beckons. Where will our darlings end up? Tune in.

Of course this is after 25 minutes, or so, of news and short topics to kick proceedings off. You know the drill by now, Dear Listener. Fill your boots.

Hope you enjoy the episode! Contact us anytime, hello@theDWshow.net

It's February 1976, and "Doctor Who and the Tenth Planet". The first Hartnell-episode novelization published in ten years, a novelization of the first Cyberman TV adventure... and William Hartnell's last full story.

Ross from "Gallifrey's Most Wanted" rejoins Jason to talk about how this book compares to childhood memories. We also take a grand tour through all of Doctor Who -- TV, books, Big Finish, and even some non-Doctor Who-related content. Ross really knows his stuff and it's always a thrill discussing the entirety of Doctor Who with him.

In the second half of the show, Jason (plagued by some really bad microphones and audio quality -- please bear with me!) works through the text of the novelization. What does Gerry Davis do with the by-now ten-year-old TV scripts? How do the Antarctic landscape, the Cybermen costume and voices, and the generation of the First Doctor into the Second, work in the book, compared to how we would have seen them on TV?

In this episode Steve and Scott talk about some very minor news and then go on to talk about their initial feelings about Picard Season 2.  This episode was recorded after only the first three episodes had been released.  So some mild spoilers exist for episodes 1-3, but anything talked about beyond that is speculation and nothing more.

The celebrations are still going for our 100th episode and for this special bonus episode we share a 2007 interview that Philip did with Sylvester McCoy in Sydney for the Doctor Who Club of Australia event, "An Afternoon with Sylvester McCoy". 

The footage was a recent discovery from Dwayne's vault (shed) as he had also attended the event, but the dynamic duo of Philip and Dwayne was at that time still a long way off. 

We share the trailer for the Big Finish story "Frozen Time" from 2007, featuring James Bond actress Maryam d'Abo. - https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/doctor-who-frozen-time-264

The miracle has happened! Believe it or not, we've actually spoken with the Eighth Doctor himself in an exclusive chat!

We discuss playing the Doctor, whether Paul McGann still regards himself as the George Lazenby of Time Lords, working with Nicola Walker in Scotland, and 

Kenny was delighted to chat with Paul, and sadly Becca was detained elsewhere... at her boyfriend's brother's birthday drinks in a Southampton pub!

Vince and Beth are on a break this week, so please enjoy this rebroadcast of our discussion of Four to Doomsday. For the sake of time the recap and trivia for these episodes has been cut.
