Latest Podcast Episodes

So Doctor Who is back on our televisions at last! Caleb Woodbridge and Sarah Burrow bring you their thoughts on episode one of series 7 along with brand new guest contributor Emma Sandrey

Are the Daleks still an effective villain? What happened to all the different Daleks we were promised? Just how did Amy and Rory get to the point of divorce? We discuss this and more in this weeks commentary and of course we consider the impact of Jenna-Louise Coleman’s early appearance – and that twist!

Souffle anyone?

The most enjoyable fun podcast of the series yet! As well as the latest news and podcast announcements, I'm joined by local listener and film blogger Nixxi Winter in which we discuss the Russell T Davies era vs the Steven Moffat era as well as discussing The Asylum Of The Asylum Of The Daleks from a film & television critic's point of view. I also managed to persuade Nixxi to use Twitter more and you can now follow her @nixxiwinter. Enjoy guys, I know I did!

At last!!  After 8 months Phil and Paul have new Doctor Who to review in the shape of Asylum Of The Daleks!  And with the new series, they introduce a new ratings system to the podcast (though how long this will last is anyones guess).  What do they think of the series opener?  Are the Daleks truly scary again or they just the same old easily beaten dustbins?  And why does Phil bring Sir Digby Chicken Caesar into the conversation?

Also, in this week news the tabloids get it wrong again and in Omega's Tat Corner the discussion turns into a question of width (ooer!).

New Doctor Who! Yes, Asylum of the Daleks marked the return of the good Doctor and his erstwhile companions for the first time since last Christmas, and in high style with quite literally EVERY DALEK EVER making an appearance. What did the Three Who Rule think of Asylum? You'll just have to tune in and find out, but suffice it to say their opinions were less than uniform. All this and Pond Life, an entirely too long rant about the BBC America specials, the universally beloved viewing figure recitation, and much more on this episode of RADIO! FREE! SKARO!

Here you go guys, a little podcast to keep you busy until 7.20 this evening. Don't forget to join us a little later for our up to date round up the latest news, reviews and podcast's from the world of the internet. Of course I'll also be providing my review of 'Asylum Of The Daleks

It's my review of The Long Game. Next time it'll be new first episode of season 7, The Asylum Of The Daleks, and my 50th episode! And the 2nd anniversy of the podcast too!

Send me your thoughts of Asylum to whoisthemanpodcast@hotmail.com.

If you're looking for the tasty-goodness of a BBC Past Adventure, then you needn't wait much longer, as our next selection is World Game, a Second Doctor adventure by Terrance Dicks. From the back cover:

The Doctor has been captured and put on trial by his own people -- accused of their greatest crime: interfering with the affairs of other peoples and planets. He is sentenced to exile on Earth. That much is history. But now the truth can be told -- the Doctor did not go straight into exile. First the Time Lords have a task for him.

From the trenches of the Great War to the terrors of the French Revolution, the Doctor finds himself on a mission he does not want with a companion he does not like, his life threatened at every turn. Will the Doctor survive to serve his sentence? Or will this adventure prove to be his Waterloo?

Regardless of what you think of Terrance Dicks' talent as a writer, you have to admit that this one sounds pretty compelling. World Game is slotted nicely between "The War Games" and "Spearhead from Space", a moment in Doctor Who history some fans refer to as "Season 6B", a period created from the fallout over debates about exactly when "The Two Doctors" took place. (Jamie never travels alone with the Doctor, yet they do in "The Two Doctors"...so when in the name of canon did that story take place?)
