This week, Nathan and Peter find themselves trapped in the corridors of a grimy English hotel with Si Hart and Conrad Westmaas, where the rooms are full of biting into a woollen jumper, turning up to your maths exam totally naked, and the fact that one day, you, your loved ones and everyone who has ever heard of you will be completely and irrevocably dead. The janitor seems pretty fit though. It’s The God Complex.

Notes and links

It goes without saying that the ur-text for the scary hotel that’s the repository of the previous residents’ secret fears is Kubrick’s The Shining (1980). The AV Club review of this episode identifies it as an influence straightaway.

During the Hinchcliffe Era, nearly every story featured the Doctor and Sarah being menaced by an evil from the dawn of time who had not been sufficiently executed enough. We discuss the issue in our The Hand of Fear episode, Not Sufficiently Executed Enough.

And finally, there’s our new Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. In our most recent episode, we watched a beautiful Star Trek: Discovery episode from last year called Forget Me Not.

This month we're riffing on a challenge our listener @alicianeptune set for her YouTube viewers on the channel youtube.com/c/LatinAlice where she asked them to think about placing Doctor Who characters into other properties. In turn, she was riffing on older episodes of ours, placing Nu-Who Doctors in Classic episodes and Classic Doctors in Nu-Who episodes. This is a very meta topic this month!

Before then, of course, there’s some news from the past month in Doctor Who, and some mini-topics to discuss. You know the drill for our monthly episode by now, dear listener.

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

Um etwaigen Gerüchten vorzugreifen, sei direkt geklärt, dass im Titel nicht Sascha, André und Raphael gemeint sind, die sich in der heutigen Episode der vierten Folge der dreizehnten Staffel Doctor Who – “Village of the Angels” – annehmen. Denn seit wann macht der Whocast halbe Sachen? Ob aber Chris Chibnall halbe Sachen gemacht hat oder dieses Mal wieder komplett verkackt, erfahrt Ihr in den kommenden 120 Minuten.

On this episode Jason (@drwhonovels), Denise (@CupofTea69), Adam (@AdamJClegg) and Jan discuss chapter four of Doctor Who: Flux - Village of the Angels.

Join Leeson and JNT as they bring you Part 4 of Radio Leeson and their thoughts on Chapter Four of Flux, Village of the Angels. And many other things too as it turns out! JNT tackles the first couple of questions he’s received (get yours to him at feedback@thedoctorwhopodcast.com with AskJNT in the subject field) – and he then performs a guitar medley of his ol’ man’s favourite songs. No, we’re not sure why either, but we understand he’s taking requests.

Sanity returns in the form of Phil and Scott – and Michele, Brent, Drew and Ian drop by too. In fact, all the DWP hosts are on this one, apart from James, who has become obsessed with looking for songs with lyrics relevant to Doctor Who stories. Please send help.

We hope you enjoy the show. Please let us know you think, particularly of Ian’s Kooky Theory of the Week!! Or is it all that kooky after all?! Let us know! Email us feedback@thedoctorwhopodcast.com, get in touch with us on Twitter or search us up on Facebook.

Welcome to the first bonus episode of Doctor Who Literature. For this episode we're discussing not the books, but the TV series itself, on this, November 23, 2021, it's 58th anniversary. Tying in to Jason's recent Twitter watch-through of the Classic Series, #drwhopilgrimage, this episode will feature two randomly selected episodes of the classic series, with live and unscripted commentary over each one. Most of Doctor Who is made up not of all-time stone-cold classics or the worst turkeys, but just average workaday episodes. What can we learn about classic Doctor Who by not watching the all-time titans, but just two random ordinary episodes? Which episodes will the episode generator give us, and what larger lessons about Doctor Who can we gather from these random stories?

Joe and Toni discuss the Mos Eisley Food Court and Ace the Pokemon in the Classic Doctor Who serial Dragonfire. Now with reenactments!

It's the best way to enjoy the 58th anniversary of Doctor Who!

Review - Village of The Angels

This week Phil and Paul look but don't blink at Village of the Angels, chapter 5 of Doctor Who: Flux. With Weeping Angels, an old fashioned base under siege story and one hell of a cliff hanger, there was a lot to like. However, it did lead Phil and Paul to come up with a solution to beat a Weeping Angel that no-one had asked for.

Omega's Feedback Corner

Once again Phil is joined by Scott who reads out listener feedback.

Omega's Stats Corner

Oh no! We've got a touch of the stats again with the overnight viewing figures for Village of the Angels and the consolidate figures for Once, Upon Time.

The News

In this weeks news, we say a sad goodbye to the voice of Axos himself, Bernard Holley and we also say goodbye to the 13th Doctors TARDIS console room.

Ross and Jeff have made it to their Podcast Pods and avoided the Weeping Angels to do so. So now you get to listen to them gush, gag, and guess their way through Flux Chapter Two

Em um episódio minimamente petrificante de tão bom, vemos a Doutora, Yaz e Dan sendo levados para uma misteriosa vila nos anos 60, onde a igualmente misteriosa Claire Brown é estudada pelo Prof. Eustacius Jericho... o motivo? Ela tem visões com cabines de polícia, anjos de pedra e coisas além da compreensão humana!

Que Doctor Who Flux estava indo numa crescente maravilhosa a gente já sabia, mas Village of the Angels pegou a gente de surpresa e nos deixou completamente sem ar! Só mesmo um DWBRcast pra colocar toda a empolgação pra fora e teorizar ainda mais!

Devon, November 1967. A little girl has gone missing, Professor Eustacius Jericho is conducting psychic experiments, and in the village graveyard, there is one gravestone too many. Why is Medderton known as the Cursed Village, and what do the Weeping Angels want?

When Paul and Giles burst into the editing suite, there's little choice but to marvel at the Audacity of it all.

This is the first half of our Anniversary special, comparing the first Doctor Who Story of all with the TV Movie. Both of which go by a variety of titles. This half focuses exclusively on An Unearthly Child / The Tribe of Gum / 100000 BC, but stick around, the second half will be along as soon as we've edited it.

Please like or share our podcast with people who will enjoy it, so we can build our listener base high for happiness. You can rate us directly on Apple Podcasts or Podchaser.com

And head over to https://www.bigfinish.com/, where we all love Paul's stories, especially for the Doctor Who and Jago and Litefoot ranges.

Richard's other podcast is called "If It's Hurting, It's not Working" and it's a fun and informative look at work - why we work, how we work, and what makes a great job. And also what makes a great workplace, how to turn things round when we're not enjoying our work and, in the end, how we can all make our work better. https://ifhurtnotwork.podbean.com/ Episode 3 is now out and there's a trailer at the end, before the outtakes.

The opening music is Three Guitars Mood 2 and, yes, that is Richard playing the ukulele and kazoo on possibly the worst ever version of the Doctor Who theme tune at the end.

The Angels have the podcast! Or at least the attention of the Three Who Rule, who did not blink or look away from “Village of the Angels” and for your own safety you should keep your ears peeled to their deep and cogent thoughts along with Warren’s pointless digressions and surface-level analysis of Star Trek.

Welcome back to the Doctor Who Literature podcast. This week, I'm discussing the second published Doctor Who novelization, adapting the notorious (and very highly-rated) 1965 serial, "The Web Planet". Bill Strutton's only contribution to the books line. Strutton, who had a prolific career and a fascinating biography, came to the books very early on, and some of his assumptions about the TARDIS and the Doctor's female companions look downright odd to us today in 2021. How does the book hold up, 56 years after its release? What positive messages can we take away from it today?
