Farewell to Amy and Rory! Chris from Radio Free Skaro reflects on departing companions and traveling alone, and I try (and somewhat fail) to separate "The Angels Take Manhattan" from the hype and show format.

David and Marty review the Tom Baker and Louise Jameson story, The Sunmakers. Marty has a whopper of a high speed segment, covering the White Wyrm by Big Finish and the first three stories of Series 7, Asylum of the Daleks, Dinosaurs on a Spaceship, and A Town Called Mercy. The guys discuss DVD extras for the Sunmakers and read listener feedback emails. Stay tuned to find out what will be coming on the next Hoo On Who!

This month we bring you our discussion of the Virgin Missing Adventure The Well-Mannered War by Gareth Roberts, author of two other Missing Adventures, The Romance of Crime and The English Way of Death, as well as the screenwriter for the television episodes "The Shakespeare Code", "The Unicorn and the Wasp", "The Lodger", and "Closing Time". From the back cover:

'Destroy them! Destroy them all - now!"

Barclow - an Earth-type planet on the fringes of space at an inestimably distant point in the future. Two factions have laid claim to it: humans from the nearby colony world of Metralubit, and a small group of Chelonian troopers. But in nearly two hundred years of conflict not one shot has been fired in anger, there are regular socials in the trenches, and the military commanders are the best of friends.

The Doctor, Romana, and K-9, arriving in the midst of these bizarre hostilities, find there's real trouble to come. A crucial election on Metralubit is looming, and K-9 is forced to begin a new career as a politician. Meanwhile, Romana meets an old friend and the Doctor discovers that a sinister hidden force may be attempting to alter the war's friendly nature.

What are the plans of Galatea, leader of the beautiful but robotic Femdroids? Who is killing soldiers on both sides of the battle lines? And will K-9's oratory save the day?

Just what is going on?

The "old friend" mentioned above happens to be Menlove Stokes, who previously appeared in Roberts' The Romance of Crime. The Well-Mannered War is notable because it is the last of the Virgin Missing Adventures, published in 1997 as the BBC was preparing to publish its own series of novels featuring past Doctors and an entirely new series with the Eighth Doctor to replace Virgin's New Adventures.

Pour yourself a tankard of Chelonian grog and sit back and relax as we discuss The Well-Mannered War!

Time runs out for Amy and Rory Pond, as The Angels Take Manhattan! Caleb, Sarah and Suzie try not to blink as we discuss Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill’s exit from Doctor Who, as well as the return of the Weeping Angels and River Song. With Amy and Rory being the longest serving companions since the series returned in 2005, is this a fitting end to their story?

Steven Moffat said “If the Ponds’ departure doesn’t make you openly weep, I haven’t done my job.” Did he succeed for you? Let us know what you thought!

It’s yet another episode of The Cloister Room! Tom and Louis discuss the ups and downs of The Power of Three, and get drawn off on a long tangent about who is fit to run Doctor Who when Moffat eventually steps down.

It’s finally happening. After three years and many TARDIS trips it’s time for the Ponds to make their exit. Before everyone gets too choked up to talk Eddie, Alan, Andy and Derek look back on Amy and Rory’s time with the Doctor. And what better place to start than the Pondcentric “Power of Three”?

Evening all. Tonight I'm joined by Nixxi Winter for our review and thoughts on 'The Power Of Three' as well as our thoughts on previous Moffat penned episodes versus series 7. As always... enjoy and geronimo!

Daleks! Time Corridors! Unknowing double agents! No, it's not Resurrection of the Daleks, it's The Mutant Phase by Nicholas Briggs, on episode 28 of The Oncoming Storm. The Dalek mutants are, uh, mutating, and it's up to The Doctor to save them. Your hosts Josh and Ashley are digging in to discuss the problems with paradoxes, Ashley's Thal fixation, and some striking similarities to a certain season opener... The Oncoming Storm... This time we have giant Space Wasps! Hey don't ask us, that's just what you get when a Dalek and a wasp love each other very very much.

Sorry for the recent lack of podcast's, a recent death in the family meant it became essential I should be off air. However, I'm back tonight with an extended show and can't wait for the weekend. Once again many thanks for all you Twitter/Facebook, text and email messages of support and concern, a truly great bunch of people you are! Enjoy :) 

UPDATE: Many apologies for the sound problems regarding different volumes from part to part, I'm working on it now :)

“Billions and Billions…. of little black alien cubes are falling from the sky, run for your life!” – Carl Sagan

That’s right the cubes are a-fallin’ and we are a-podcastin’. We hash out all the important topics like “which plot line should we follow?”, “Why was the Doctor so busy playing Wii, what’s wrong with XBox?” and “Why didn’t he have the Sonic Screw Driver Wii Remote?” So go outside, snatch out a cube, tune in and watch how it reacts to our latest podcast.

Our Who Tube today comes from the incredible stylings of lightandwaves who gives us a beautifully somber video portraying “We’re All Stories In The End”

The music used in this episode was “The Chicken Dance” by Die-Hard Polka Band and “Gleaming The Cube” by Robbin Thompson

This week we are joined by Drew Stewart, TOS editor for Trek.FM as we discuss Doctor Who season one, episode eleven, “Boom Town.”

You can also find Drew around the Internets @doubleofive on Twitter and Star Wars Revisted News.

Like a bad penny, Margaret Blaine the Slitheen turns up again, this time as the mayor of Cardiff. Up to her old tricks, she plans on building an unsafe nuclear power station right on the rift. When it ultimately melts down, the Earth will finally be destroyed and her family will be avenged.

Meanwhile, a strange love triangle– or is it a square?– is forming between Rose, Mickey, and her time travelling companions. Can they put their hormones on a shelf for long enough to once again save the Earth from destruction?

I’m not always mayor of Cardiff, but when I am I use a Deus Equis Machine.

As we prepare to say goodbye to Amy and Rory, we get an episode that's — a love letter to Amy and Rory. Chris Chibnall's second Series 7 story works, but what's weird about it?

Welcome to Playing Doctor SPOILERS! If you haven't watched all of Doctor Who through the fourth episode of series seven, "The Power of Three", you don't want to listen to this episode. If you are caught up but don't want to hear rumors and spoilers about the upcoming series, you don't want to listen to this episode.

We had an awesome time at Intervention this year and we can’t wait to go back next year. We met a lot of new friends and saw many of our old friends. We’d like to thank Onezumi and her staff for putting on a terrific show.

“I think he looked rather jolly … with his cheek tusks. I’m calling them chusks.”

The surface of the cube is cold to the touch. Cold but with something surging behind it, like a heart beat.

Like a storm.

You run your fingers along its hard edges, trying to discern something of its function in its form but come up blank. Your mind can’t wrap itself around the concept of it. Too advanced, too alien.

You turn to leave and that’s when it hums to life, glyphs picked out in a pulsating blue flicker across its dark surface. And that’s when you understand, that’s when you hear – a history of Earth in five waves of a sonic screwdriver, real lions at Nelson’s column, the bonobo tariff, four, mad chattering voices uniting in praise...

You turn and run but already you know it’s too late; can already feel the hairs rising on your neck as the bolt of electricity arcs across the void and connects with your heart. And as you slip into the darkness beyond your last thought hangs for a moment in the fading theatre of your subconscious ...

That podcast was totally worth it.
