Latest Podcast Episodes

In todays news I decide to travel outside the Doctor Who universe for a moment to discuss todays big announcement regarding another succesful sci-fi franchise. I then return to the vortex for the latest Who related news and podcast releases. We also announce details on how you can vote for next Tuesdays subject matter for our new Time Travel Tuesday feature. As always, enjoy!

It's our third Halloween special. This time we look at a film that's regarded by many, to be the scariest film ever made. "The Exorcist". Also, a tiny bit of unimportant Star Wars news tacked on the end.

Back once again with the ill behaviour!!!

Or something.

Yes, Viki returns! Sorry about that.

And please welcome the first of our new hosts....

Doctor Sinister!

This time around, a look at the first half of series 33.

To celebrate Halloween, 2012, we discuss the mind-blowing and arguably frightening Virgin New Adventure, The Pit by Neil Penswick.  From the back cover:

For two weeks now it has been the same message again and again, and it’s getting stranger; death and destruction, the end of all things, ARMAGEDDON.

In an attempt to lift the Doctor out of his irritable and erratic mood, Bernice suggests he investigates the mystery of the Seven Planets – an entire planetary system that disappeared without trace several decades before Bernice was born.

One of the Seven Planets is a nameless giant, quarantined against all intruders.  But when the TARDIS materializes, it becomes clear that the planet has other visitors: a hit-squad of killer androids; a trespassing scientist and his wife; and two shape-changing criminals with their team of slaves.

As riot and anarchy spread on the system’s colonized worlds, the Doctor is flung into another universe while Bernice closes in on the horror that is about to be unleashed – a horror that comes from a terrible secret in the Time Lords’ past.

If you’re wondering who Neil Penswick is, then you’re not alone; this novel was his single contribution to Doctor Who canon.  It was only after a little hunting that we were able to track down an interview with him (see the link on our blog page).  To the best of our knowledge, he’s currently working in an office, so when it all comes down to it he has one up on me, as I’ve never even tried to publish a novel.

After an extremely angry past 28 hours due to wind taking out our phone lines last night and twitter. I'm pleased to say that after all your support, I'm back for tonight's podcast. News, podcast releases and details of how to vote for the subject matter regarding our new feature, Monster Memories Monday. Also included are details for our soon to close competition and a new disclaimer before the opening titles appelaing for all feedback to be provided as you would wish to recieve it, if it were coming from ourselves. Enjoy guys.

In this week’s episode, its some spooky Halloween fun… well okay, maybe not, but we are reviewing, often fan favorite, The Talons of Weng-Chiang. Our reviews might surprise you as we attempt to go against the norm, at the risk of losing our Whovian cards.

Also, we’ll have a look at the news happening in the Doctor Who Universe.

And of course, your feedback!

Enjoy!

David and Marty put on their leather jackets, comb their hair into a duck tail (okay, just Marty) and head off to 1959…. or is it 1987?  The guys review Delta and the Bannermen, starring Sylvester McCoy as the Doctor and Bonnie Langford as Mel.  Marty does a high speed review of the final Tom Baker season one Big Finish story, The Oseidon Adventure, and also the last two episodes of Series 7a (The Power of Three and The Angels Take Manhattan).  DVD Extras for Delta and the Bannermen are reviewed and listener feedback email is read.

Waffle On about The Evil Dead Trilogy

Happy Halloween 2012 to you all and what better way to celebrate than to listen to us two deadites talking about three classic horror films. The Evil Dead Trilogy gave us the directing talents of Sam Raimi and the huge chin of a actor Mr Bruce Campbell. Sit back and let us entertain you with trailers, facts, the odd sound clip and some serious waffle covered in fake blood and chopped off hands.

We have a growing Facebook group page so please do feel free to join it at https://www.facebook.com/groups/waffleon/ and jump into all the chat. We have been nominated for a European podcast award so if you fancy voting for us the link to that is on the Facebook group page. We also have a donate button on the main podbean page so if you fancy donating a pound/dollar/yen or euro (no gold press latinum please) head to the site and press the button.

Have a great Halloween and thanks for listening.

After recording this particular episode months ago, they've decided to unleash it upon an unsuspecting public.  So stand back and prepare yourselves for the first in an occasional series of Target book reviews, starting with The Pyramids of Mars by Terrance Dicks.  However, comparisions are purposely made between the book and the transmitted version.  How do Phil and Paul think they compare?  Tune in to find out!

Also in the news this week, they wish Matt Smith a happy birthday, the future of Torchwood is revealed, what is currently happening with the production of the remainder of Series 7 and Omega's Tat Corner makes a return featuring a toy from yesteryear!

Happy Halloween everyone!  We're celebrating it by reviewing the spookiest DW episode that we could think of, "The Unquiet Dead".  It's got Victorian England (ok, Wales),ghosts, zombies and the Doctor!  What more can you want on a Halloween night?

We also have a little rant about the Doctor and a whole lot of rabbit chasing.  Of course, we wouldn't be us if we didn't go after them rabbits.

Dinosaurs! On a Spaceship! Matt Smith's enthusiasm aside, does the fluffy lizardfest hold up to the laser-like scrutiny of Steven, Warren, and Luke from The Minute Doctor Who Podcast in this, the second of the "Pond Farewell Tour" commentaries? Were Mitchell and Webb any good as surly robots? Does the Doctor's team of historical oddities (and Rory's dad) make for high adventure and rollicking space-based shenanigans? Are any of these questions even close to addressed in the commentary? Tune in to find out, as well as hear tiny morsels of what could charitably called "news!"
