Listen this week to find out if English Gav has been replaced by Robogav as we talk about Sci-Fi Conventions, killing Steven, and Mind Swapping.

When the TARDIS materialises on an alien planet, the Doctor insists that he and his companions have arrived in the far future. Steven and Dodo think otherwise, however, after they encounter a band of cave-dwelling primitives who are terrified of strangers. The travellers soon discover that the planet's population is divided into two castes, and that the professed idyll of the Elders - who inhabit a technologically advanced city - seems oddly dependent upon the unsophisticated savages.

“Eat a spider & then sit through Vengence of Varos.”

At the Ood Cast, you won’t be flabbergasted to hear that we hate to see lovely old British institutions taking a hammering from people who really couldn’t do any better themselves.

That’s right, we’re talking about the BBC!

Haterz back off!

Sure, it’s not perfect but it’s still one of the UK’s best features. Along with cream teas, the NHS and Bill Bailey.

So for this episood, we chose to sit the mics next to a speaker grille and record a solid 25 minutes of Radio 4. Because we’re highbrow and that.

Also, Goaty. Gotyay? Goatee? Gotye. Because it’s slightly more melodic than other cult YouTube sensation ‘Gangnam Style’ and Laura’s Korean is limited to ‘hello’, ‘thank-you’ and ‘you cannot buy a monkey at this market’*

Reconstructions: Classic Doctor Who gets reconstructed on DVD -- Planet of Giants and Shada are both getting the dubious treatment. But is it worth reconstructing every cut and unfilmed bit of script? And are your hosts slowly descending into a kind of dementia where Yogi Bear and Jimmy Durante star in the new Doctor Who? Download The Carnival of Bastards #6 -- Reconstructions or listen to the podcast online.

We have nothing to fear but the DWO WhoCast itself

Dave, Elizabeth, Thomas and Michelle have a discussion about fear in the context of Doctor Who. What stories have scared us, do scare us and how fear changes with age

Fresh off of the first half of Series Seven, we just couldn’t get enough of the Eleventh Doctor.  At the behest of our friend Erik from The Doctor Who Book Club Podcast, we watched and discussed “The Big Bang” and “The Pandorica Opens” with him.  For those of you that listen to the very best in Doctor Who podcasting, you may know that Sean and Steve appeared on A Mostly Harmless Cutaway with our other friends Eric and Josh when these episodes first aired.  Have our opinions changed after viewing it again.  Is Erik alone in thinking this two-parter is the bee’s knees?

As usual, the cocktails flowed freely (at least for two of us, ahem) and we saw a mutual friend of the podcast, Erika (whom you may recall from our “Pertwee Extravaganza” not long ago), and asked her to join the fray.  The result is an hour and 47 minutes of insightful philosophical discussion on the story.  Also, we get really drunk.

Jim's brother, Rob, trails the forthcoming Ambassadors of Death episode of the Krynoid Podcast. Creating the trailer before Jim and Martin even had their discussion, he makes some rather uncanny predictions...

It’s been a long time between drinks in the Doctor Who Podcast quizzing arena, but the boys are back to pit their wits against the best Doctor Who has to offer.

In this instalment of this epic battle, our very own Ian is the quizmaster, throwing the verbal conundrums up against Trevor, James and Leeson.

The eternal questions have to be asked – who will be victorious, and who will will be left crying into their warm milk? And on what question will Trev spit his dummy on this time?

Only one way to find out!

"Change, my dear. And not a moment too soon." But change, even a good change, can be difficult. Here's how DOCTOR WHO has been helping me lately.

In this week’s show, after wading through discussions about yard waste and home improvement, we look at the Third Doctor, seven part story, The Ambassadors of Death. This is a story we split between two weeks of Friday Night Who, and was the first one to receive an extensive color restoration.

Also, Shaun and Keith were able to make it out to see Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph this weekend. Hear what they have to say about the film.

And a look at the news happening in the Whoniverse this week, including the announcement of the return of classic adversary.

And of course, your feedback.

Enjoy!

The Doctor calls them "nanogenes". The Daleks make them live in a "nanocloud". But in reality they are nanobots, just one facet in the field of nanotechnology. This week we explore that facet - what nanobots are, what researchers are looking for them to do and how that may affect our lives...possibly within our own lifetimes.

Oh, yeah. And a whole lot of rabbit chasing.

Episode 58: Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny

The Three Who Rule were reduced to Two this week, but Steven and Warren were joined by the inestimable Simon Harries of Tachyon TV fame for a commentary on "The Power of Three," the penultimate story of this half-season. Simon's dry wit counterbalanced Steven's idiot savantism (emphasis on the "idiot") and Warren's outright stupidity to produce a most delicious bit of commentary that we're sure you'll enjoy! But that's not all! Though it nearly is, as the news was sparse this week, with only intrigues and tales of lost (and then found) Neil Gaiman scripts to report to you, our dear, dear listeners.
