After something of an extended break, Caleb and Sarah are back with our verdict on The Snowmen, the 2012 Doctor Who Christmas special! With a new title sequence, new TARDIS and above all new companion, the feisty Clara, ably played by Jenna-Louise Coleman, there’s plenty for us to talk about… not to mention abominable snowmen, Victorian values, lesbian interspecies marriage, the place of Sherlock Holmes in the Whoniverse, and Matt Smith sporting a specially fine hat!

Stay tuned for our anniversary-year coverage of Doctor Who, as we celebrate each of the eleven Doctors from the last 50 years, one per month, and count down to the big day on 23rd November 2013!

It's a return to our series 3 retrospective with a look at The Shakespeare Code.  However, this week there is a change in the presenting line up as Phil is joined by the excellent Martyn Havell from the Bad Wilf Podcast who makes a long overdue return to the show.  So how does this historical story hold up after all this time?  Is it more Kenneth Brannagh's Hamlet or more Jet Li's Romeo Must Die?  Find out what they think and as a bonus you will also discover that Chevy Chase is God and Haircut 100 rule!!

And in a very slow news week, 50th Anniversary rumours are dashed, an announcement of Puffin Books contribution to the Doctor's 50th and more stats!

Happy New Year! After battling illness and ennui over the past week and a half, the Three Who Rule are back with a bumper episode to launch 2013, the centrepiece of which is an epic interview with Kevin Jon Davies. Davies was the director and producer of "More Than 30 Years In The TARDIS", the BBC's official 30th anniversary celebration for Doctor Who, but his connection to the worlds of Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, and Blake's 7, made for a fascinating chat. Also, your three hosts run down the Christmas time viewing figures, discuss their importance, and also talk about puppies. Six weeks until Gallifrey One!

For those of you that we’re sitting on the edges of your seat at the end of last month, waiting for December’s episode, we apologize that we’re a little behind.  Occasionally real life does get in the way, and busy holiday plans on both our parts forced us to release the December episode a few days into January.

This month we present a discussion of The Time Travellers by Simon Guerrier, a BBC Past Doctors adventure featuring the First Doctor, Susan, Barbara, and Ian.  From the back cover:

‘Have you ever thought what it’s like to be wanderers in the fourth dimension, to be exiles?’

24 June, 2006.  The TARDIS has landed in London.  Ian and Barbara are almost back home.  But this isn’t the city they knew.  This London is a ruin, torn apart by war.  A war that the British are losing.

With his friends mistaken for vagrants and sentenced to death, the Doctor is press-ganged into helping perfect a weapon that might just turn the tables in the war.  The British Army has discovered time travel.  And the consequences are already devastating.

What has happened to the world that Ian and Barbara once knew?  Hoe much of the experiment do the Doctor and Susan really understand?

And, despite all the Doctor has said to the contrary, is it actually possible to change history?

The Time Travellers was Simon Guerrier’s first novel, and most recently he has written the New Series Adventures The Slitheen Excursion and the acclaimed The Pirate Loop, both featuring the Tenth Doctor.  Aside from his work with the Doctor Who series, who also wrote novels for the shows Primevil and Being Human.

We bring you a very special episode of the DWP this week –James spoke to DVD value-added-material producer, Mr Ed Stradling.  Ed is responsible for producing a ridiculously high number of extra features that have been included on Doctor Who DVDs, the first of which saw the likes of Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss talk about Earthshock all the way back in 2003!  Ed also talks about Ian Levene’s project to re-construct Planet of the Giants back into the four part-story originally conceived, the results of which appear on the DVD, and discusses rumours about missing stories being found.

So sit down with a  cuppa tea, put your feet up and listen toJames and Ed talk Doctor Who for half an hour!

Clara Oswin Oswald — if that IS her REAL name — committed many and various sins against Victoriana in "The Snowmen." Shannon, spouse behind and brains of the 2MTL operation, enumerates the offenses and incongruities, suggesting that they're hints to her true nature.

Have an action packed opening. Then three people talking about Doctor Who. Yup, it's the Snowmen. er, what they're talking about, not the people doing the talking. Though that would be quite cool. No pun intended. Yeah, The Snowmen podcast. Hmm.....

42 (how fitting) days until Gally!

VESTIGE:

• Today the feed turns Pertwee! Well, to be fair we're actually much older than 3. We weren't really planning anything special for today, but then @MarkCockram inadvertently reminded us that we still have years old unreleased material. Herein is a taste of what this feed was originally created for.
• Here's to many more years to come and nevermore drivel of this sort!
• Thanks ever so dearly for the contribution by Graeme Harper.
  

WARNING:

• This isn't very good and contains SPOILERS pertaining to The Caves of Androzani.
• Do not complain to us. Blame Mark.

DISCLAIMER:
