Christopher Hamilton Bidmead is a polarizing figure in Doctor Who fandom, with some hating his tenure as script editor and writer whilst others loved the shift he oversaw from clownish antics to more science-based storytelling. Where do the Three Who Rule stand on this vitally important matter? Why does Steven love Castrovalva? What is the Watcher, really? Why does Bidmead hate the TARDIS so much (or does he)? The answer, dear friends, is SCIENCE!

This week, Phil and Paul cast their eye over The Forest of The Dead, the conclusion to River Song's opening story in Series 4 of Doctor Who.  It's another enjoyable story for the reviewing pair but it's not long before they air their gripes about where it went wrong.  During the course of their conversation this week, they go wildly off topic and start discussing Steven Moffats overall contribution to Doctor Who and whether his writing was better before he became show runner.

However, all of this is tempered by the news that we have lost another Doctor Who actor in the form of Caroline John and the lads take the opportunity to celebrate her character, Liz Shaw.

A little later than intended, this week’s Kasterborous podKast (with a “K”) turns its attention to the matter of the Doctor’s sartorial elegance (or in some cases, lack of…)

There isn’t a single incarnation of the friendly Time Lord who hasn’t raised eyebrows with his choice of attire. While some choices have been great, others have been… less successful, shall we say. Christian Cawley, Brian Terranova and James McLean have a right old chat about the situation in the latest podKast, concluding with a declaration of their individual favourite looks across Doctor Who’s 49 years.

Dear listener, did you know you can also listen to the podKast via iTunes?. If that’s not your thing, why not You can subscribe to our RSS feed – or you can simply press play in the box above!

Oh yes you can!

Cloyingly sentimental? Exuberantly uplifting? That's not what our favorite family SF/adventure/horror saga has been about, with rare exceptions, over the last almost-50 years. And yet we fans can still turn to it when things are looking a little grim. There's something that Doctor Who does to brighten our day without even trying…

(Take the Facebook poll!)

It's Doctor Who and The Oseidon Adventure! Yes, the Tom Baker Big Finish! Just how good is it? And what about the 4th Doctor series overall? Siobhan and Elisabeth have a good old natter. Oh, and stay listening at the end.. there's a very old treat in store....

The DWO WhoCast - 'I built it myself - all my own work!'

"I always find that violent exercise makes me hungry. Don't you agree?"

Yes, Gallifrey's very own silver-haired and rather wrinkly James Bond is at it again in 1972's salty six-part saga, The Sea Devils.

Jim and Martin marvel as the Doctor frolics above, on and below the sea, Jo fights, frets and flies a hovercraft and the Master shows off most of his wardrobe (string vests strangely absent).

Mr Creosote rolls in from Whitehall and eats everything in his path, Trenchard bores the hind legs off a donkey and Cap'n Hart offs an alarming amount of amphibians.

All that with copious sandwiches thrown in. Who could ask for more from Who?

As they inch closer towards the end of this ‘epic’ our plucky heroes must face the Freudian nightmare that is Terror Of The Vervoids. Can they survive Pip and Jane Baker without a script editor ? Just what will they think of Mel? Why is Honor Blackman wearing a track suit? And is this really Murder On The Orient Express in space, or is it strangely closer to a certain long gone British soap opera? To misquote the Valeyard: ‘Stop the Matrix, I want to get off!’

I am joined this week by Phil Cannon one of the hosts of the excellent Who’s He? Podcast to discuss the polarizing 3rd Doctor story, “Inferno.”

Even though Phil and I don’t quite see eye-to-eye on this story we had a most enjoyable time discussing it and I hope you have a most enjoyable time listening to that discussion. I don’t want to say anymore lest I give away too much about one of my favorite episodes of the podcast so far. Go forth and stream or download, whichever you prefer!

It's time to look at the world of Non fiction Doctor Who books again, and if we're gonna talk about it, why not turn to a founding father? Ashley and Josh are quite excited to welcome Jean Marc Lofficier to the podcast! We talk to Jean Marc about his works, The Doctor Who Program Guide, The Terrestrial Index, The Universal Databank, and of course, The Nth Doctor. We cover a myriad of topics, discussing Jean Marc's relationship with the Who production office, what Who related work he has coming up, Doctor Omega, and all the other various projects Jean Marc is working on. Oh, and hear Ashley completely geek out to Jean Marc, and Josh completely derail a perfectly good Doctor Who discussion into comic book territory. The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got a Frenchman!  We're collecting all the nationalities here at the Oncoming Storm! Gotta catch em all!

At long last, the Wheel of Fortune selects a Colin Baker story for Josh and Steven to discuss in the form of Mindwarp, comprising of Parts 5-8 of 1986's The trial of a Time Lord. What did you hosts think of this controversial instalment? Listen and find out!
