Guest companion Grant Sharkey talks feeling up tight & nervous watching Doctor Who as a child & getting into the new show because they cast Eccleston, his stand up shows & why he now concentrates more on his music, and his books. He also shares 2 of his songs and Dottie Who drives the virtual Tardis!

This episode it recorded live & unedited, so may get a little sweary at times.

We never explained how Al, Doc and The Rev escaped the supernatural attack at the Devil's Hump dig in the closing seconds of Podcast 010. Counter-intuitively, given the Doctor Who connection, the resolution is even more thrilling than the cliffhanger. However, explanations must wait as this week we find our podcasting heroes very much the worse for wear.

All those weeks visiting iconic drinking establishments from Doctor Who lore have taken their toll on the livers of The Diddly Dumbers. On medical advice, the Three Who Drool have retired to Llanfairfach in South Wales for an intense course of detoxification at The Nuthutch.

Wracked by delirium tremens, the Diddly Dumbers see visions of creepy crawlies running all over the house and their thoughts turn naturally to instances of giant insects in Doctor Who. Listen in as, between restorative nibbles at Nancy's homegrown fungus, the boys reminisce about the Zarbi, Menoptera, Venom Grubs and Optera from The Web Planet, the Wirrn from The Ark in Space and the Tritovores from The Planet of the Dead.

The Diddly Dum podcast thanks anyone we've pinched stuff from and respects the copyright of etc etc.

Dan and Eric talk about mannequins and this time it has nothing to do with Andrew McCarthy.  Here's our review of the first Jon Pertwee story, "Spearhead from Space."

In the podcast we talk about the exterior changes of the TARDIS.  Here's an image taken from http://www.themindrobber.co.uk showing the various designs.

It's the last week in May, which means it will soon be June! And you know what that means!?! If you answered "The New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield  is coming out!", then you must either work for Big Finish, or be Josh. In his excitement over the impending release, Josh has taken over the subject matter of the podcast, and it's all Benny, all the time! This week, that means a return to the Doctor Who Magazine comic strip in the days where Benny graced it's pages. That means it time to talk about Emperor of the Daleks, by Paul Cornell and Lee Sullivan! In a linking of continuity you wouldn't believe, this comic shows everyone how Davros went from being arrested by Daleks to leading his own faction of Imperial Daleks! Which wouldn't be complete without a visit to Spiridon of course! Ashley, Josh, and special guest Jeff Polier also take some time to answer what old comic concept or character they'd like see return to the strips! The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got two Docs, a Daak, and the loveliest archeologist ever to grace Doctor Who!

On the twenty-first episode of Reality Bomb, we have a massive, supersized episode celebrating 10 years of the modern series of Doctor Who with a special two-part panel featuring Lindsey Mayers, NPR Books Editor Petra Mayer, Head Over Feels blogger Sage Young and Doctor Who Thing's Matthew Stott. Plus, Alex Kennard looks back on the too-short-season of Doctor Nine, Christopher Eccleston and The Unquiet Dead is in the Gallery of the Underrated with Shannon Sudderth. And Barnaby Edwards and Jon Arnold are talking about the literary sub-genre of Doctor Who celebrity biographies and autobiographies. All this and infomercials you really don't want to miss for once!
