Latest Podcast Episodes

It’s our second reboot in two years, and to celebrate Richard’s sabbatical in Cambridge, we’re joined by everyone’s favourite ham-fisted bun vendor, Todd “Josephine” Beilby. And we’re discussing the first three stories of Season 8: Terror of the Autons, The Mind of Evil and The Claws of Axos.

Buy the stories!

In England and Australia, Terror of the Autons was released on DVD as part of the Mannequin Mania box set. (Amazon UK). It was released separately in the US. (Amazon US)

Check out Jo’s facial expression on the Mind of Evil DVD cover. And Pertwee looks like he’s just realised he left the gas on. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

The Claws of Axos has had a Special Edition DVD release. So there’s that. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Terror of the Autons

Paul Cornell’s brutal 1993 review of Terror of the Autons from DWB can be found here.

Here’s Brendan dressed as Jo Grant from Day of the Daleks at Lords of Time 3 in December 2014.

The Mind of Evil

Sorry, Nathan, but Kate Orman doesn’t give Corporal Bell brain cancer, but she does damage her brain in a terrible car accident in the otherwise brilliant The Left-Handed Hummingbird.

David McIntee’s novel Face of the Enemy has the Master working with UNIT while the Doctor and Jo are off mucking around on Peladon. Oh, and Corporal Bell gets sacked. Here’s El Sandifer’s review.

Richard Franklin wrote a post-UNIT Mike Yates novel called The Killing Stone. You can even hear him reading it aloud, if that’s your thing. (Audible US) (Audible UK). Paul Cornell definitively outed Mike Yates in the 50th Virgin New Adventures Novel Happy Endings.

A work of fiction passes the Bechdel test if it contains a scene where two women talk to each other about something other than a man.

Fans of caseless Dalek mutants as major story villains will enjoy the Big Finish audio The Elite.

The Claws of Axos

Bill Filer looks like he’s wandered into The Claws of Axos on his way to appearing in The Champions or The Persuaders!.

Brendan mentions the episode of Black Books where Bernard and Manny drunkenly write a children’s book called The Elephant and the Balloon. You can find the entire episode on YouTube.

"There are three physical gateways and the three are one. The whole of this domain, the ancient arch, the mirrors. All the gateways are one."

You what? Run that by me again...

Don't expect any more sense than this from anyone else, for this is Warriors' Gate - a tale with dialogue so oblique it makes Samuel Beckett sound like Dan Brown.

It's an odd sort of a place too, wherein suits of armour give history lessons, lion men fail to tip waitresses and everywhere could do with a touch of colour to cheer it up a bit.

The Doctor's flipping, Adric's tossing and Romana's turning away from her TARDIS chums. K9's lost his marbles and Rorvik's losing his rag as his bumbling underlings are set to lose the E-Space/N-Space Crew of the Year competition by some margin.

So will Jim and Martin stagger through the choking fog of befuddlement to reach the sunlit uplands of understanding? Or will what remains of their brains melt in the attempt?

Listen in to find out.

Will and John stage an interview with Gennette (in her first GallifreyOne in several years) and Darin (at his first Doctor Who convention ever) at the pool at LAX Marriott. But this is a ruse- listen as John and Will stall until Darin asks Gennette to marry him. Will she say yes? Only one way to find out.

Will and John are joined by Kelly from the TVMouse blog, and Kim from Headoverfeels in front of the hotel for the GallifreyOne convention, the best Doctor Who convention in North America. We discuss their panel on the role of Clara Oswald in this last season of Doctor Who as well as other events from Day One of the convention.

In this edition of the Who's He? Podcast, Phil quickly charts his first day of the Gallifrey One convention in Los Angeles (ooh, get him!), where he blathers on about the panels he attended and the cosplaying situation.

Mind you, please be aware that this is just Phil talking on his own with no backup from anyone. It's like the podcast has done an unplugged session and by the end of this, you'll wish he had been.

Welcome aboard the Tardis for episode 29. Plenty of good Doctor Who news to get through and then we're onto our review of The Unquiet Dead.

The News

We have a new comic hitting the shelves on the 26th Feb 2015 entitled, quite un-inspiringly, Doctor Who Comic. It will feature short adventures from the 10th, 11th and 12th Doctors along with competitions and other stuff. Across 84 pages it should be a good read and at PS3.99 it's a reasonable price. Look out for it in supermarkets, W H Smith and select newsagents.

The Radio Times has ranked all the opening titles and have come up with an interesting list. What do you think to this? We had a few doubts and would definitely change the order.

Convention goers in the South of the UK might be interested in a Who con that's gone underneath the radar - The Bedford Who Charity Con. Featuring some great guest appearances from the classic years it sounds like a good day. As a bonus, all the profits will go to a local food bank so you'll be doing your bit for charity too.

Big Finish are on a roll recently. After the awesome announcement last week of the regeneration story for the 6th Doctor, we're now going to be treated to a UNIT spin off series starring current show UNIT director Kate (Jemma Redgrave) amongst others. Check out the cover art and be prepared to pre-order another story. It's released in November this year.

"The Unquiet Dead" Review

Review time and this week we pull out a story from series 1. It's another one of those episodes where it's overlooked and not one you'd pull out if you wanted to watch an Eccleston episode. It's creepy and dark and features some great little links to larger aspects of Who lore but does it fire us up to cook on gas or does it fizzle out?

Thank you again for your views on our review episode this week, it's great reading out your opinions and seeing the fans views. As always we really appreciate your feedback too so thanks for that. Next week it's Davison's The Visitation. Until next time - Allons-y!!!

After a trip through time and space, John and Taylor are back with a review of "The Caves of Androzani"! They duo talk all about this Peter Davison serial, and they try to figure out if it is indeed the best Doctor Who story of ALL TIME!

Also, who was in the running to play the anti-villain Sharaz Jek before Christopher Gable was cast? Which modern day Doctor does John see in Davison's portrayal? Does Taylor think this episode holds up after all these years? Tune in, and find out!

John records a message from the road-literally-while driving to Los Angeles for GallifreyOne, the world's best Doctor Who convention. Have questions for anyone at #gally1? Tweet us at @mutterspiral or @YosemiteForest and we'll

try to ask them for you.

In which there's lots of singing. So. Be aware.

On the eve of our 50th episode, we head back to the very beginning of Doctor Who, watching two version of the premiere episode "An Unearthly Child", and the second episode "The Cave of Skulls". Along the way, we talk a bit of business, recount the time we were "fake Who geeks" on a panel, and comment on the literal garbage set that kicked off Doctor Who. Also, Brandon is really drunk and does a bunch of weird voices. The weirdo.
