In the week’s episode, we wade through a mess of technical problems, to bring you our reviews of The Fourth Doctor and Romana story, Nightmare of Eden. Then we battle through the buzz to give our impression of the Big Finish audio adventure, The One Doctor.

Also, a look at some Galley guests, and the Janet Fielding benefit function, “Project Motor Mouth”.

And, of course, your feedback!

Enjoy!

Ok, class, today we are learning about the history and workings of the Cybermen.  I'd like you all to take out your Deadly Enemies textbooks and open to page 42.

Yep, that's right.  This week we talk Cybermen.  Everything from what stories to find them in to the difference between Pete's world and Mondasian Cybermen.

We've also got a bunch of Gallifrey One news as we get ready for that great gathering.  And feedback!

It's the first audio commentary of the year, so that means once again Tony returns to the fold to join Phil & Paul in getting through Destiny of The Daleks episodes 1 & 2.  This one is real struggle folks!  The lads do their best to keep their spirits up in this shoddy run down Daleks, Stevie Wonder disco wigs and ill fitting Davros masks but try as they might, this one gets the better of them!  Tony tries desparately to inject some humour into proceedings with his facts but these fall flat in the face of this dreadful story!

And in the news this week the January releases from Big Finish, news of an actor who would like to return to Doctor Who and one actress who isn't and a return to Omega's Tat Corner with some overpriced glittery tat that wouldn't look out of place on QVC.

With Chris and Steven each recuperating from an infection from the Swarm, it was Warren's turn to suffer the effects of an infestation of the Nucleus. While Warren wasn't running on full steam for the news segment, in which  news on Gallifrey One was the dominant feature, he does feature in a previously recorded interview with Mike Tucker, the visual effects expert whose work has appeared on both classic and new series Doctor Who. Mike is also a Doctor Who fan and an all around nice guy, which makes this episode of Radio Free Skaro a must listen! Just stay back at least 50 feet from the Three Who Rule when listening...

Have an interview with Director Kevin Jon Davies. He and Siobhan waffle about The Making of The Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy, Thirty Years In The Tardis and Jon Pertwee looking like Margaret Rutherford in a microwave...

Looks like we survived the end of the world after all.

When you survive an ordeal like that, there’s nothing like a little dose of Patrick Troughton, so we decided to turn around and talk about what we originally intended: that mostly-missing story of the Second Doctor’s era, “The Web of Fear”.

Although five of the six episodes were destroyed after someone at the BBC went on a bender and burned a couple dozen reels of old television, you can see the first episode in all its glory in the “Lost in Time” box set.  The remainder is available from BBC audio.

You can follow us on Facebook, send us hate mail at tardistavern@gmail.com, and follow Sean on Twitter via @tardistavern (Steve has a Twitter account too, but he hasn’t used it since March of 2012 so we won’t go there).  Oh look, rocks!

This week the first in our series of Burning Issues – unresolved questions posed on the Doctor Who Podcast in previous episodes that we hope to be able to provide answers for.

The first of these is in response to a statement Tom made on a previous DWP – that the classic series story Genesis of the Daleks should be “put in a box and buried”, further stating it was the worst story of the first twenty years of the program.

Such an assertion could not go unchallenged.  So we have put Tom on trial in this episode – he must answer for his most heinous crime.  The case for the defence and prosecution will be set, then it will be up to you, our wonderful listeners to decide on the verdict.  Let us know at feedback@thedoctorwhopodcast.com“>feedback@thedoctorwhopodcast.com just where Genesis of the Daleks should sit in the history of the show.

Last weekend I travelled a up to Manchester for Delia Derbyshire Day, which was primarily an opportunity to see a documentary about the lady who brought us the original arrangement of the Dr Who theme but also to learn more about this at times illusive figure from the show's early days.

Quite a long intro and outro from me but hopefully the discussion about Delia, her work and the fact that it motivated Canadian filmmaker Kara Blake to produce a documentary about her will be worth the extra long running time this week.

End theme is Dr Who Ultimate title mix (1963-2007)

It's episode 42 of The Oncoming Storm! Your hosts Josh and Ashley are back for their first recording of the new year, and there's a ton to catch up on! After cutting through the swath of news stories and announcements, instead of being witty and making some Douglas Adams connection in this episode, your dauntless hosts are back at the New Adventure grindstone, and looking at the debut novel for some authors who you'll see crop up in Doctor Who circles for years to come. This week, Lucifer Rising by Andy Lane & Jim Mortimore is in the hot seat. As the Doctor, Ace, and Benny investigate a murder mystery on a scientific station, Josh and Ashley talk about Ace's character arc, the Doctor's dirty deeds, and Benny being, well, Benny.  There's misery and death to be had, as well as lots of continuity references...

"An eleven dimensional alien being."

The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got an elev... Dammit Legion, you did it again!
