It's time for episode 7, and luckily for Ashley, it's another historical! This week Josh and Ashley are discussing The Marian Conspiracy by Jacqueline Rayner. It's backstabbing and betrayals in Tudor England! Josh is eating up all of the pure historical goodness, but will Jacqueline Rayner's writing overcome Ashley's inherant dislike of the historical genre? Or did Ashley just listen to the story while making Ice Warrior noises to drown out all of those boring historical dudes? Listen and find out, as correct pronunciation, time paradoxes, and religion in Doctor Who are all discussed in the latest episode of The Oncoming Storm! The Oncoming Storm...This time, we've got ruffled collars... or at least we assume we do. Anytime we see one of those Blackadder episodes from this time everyone's wearing one. And Blackadder wouldn't lie.

I’m very excited about episode lucky #13 as Alison Haislip(!) joins me to chat about the Series 3 River Song 2-parter Silence in the Library and The Forest of the Dead!

I’ve been a fan of Alison’s for a long time now. She has been one of my dream guests to have on the show and was an absolute delight to talk to. Alison and I bow before the genius that is Moffat as we delve into the complex web he has woven in bringing River Song to our screens. I love Alison’s enthusiasm for the show and can’t help but wonder where were all the girls like her when I was growing up in New Jersey. Enjoy!

This month it's Business Unusual by Gary Russell. From the back cover:

A security force with no official identity... a managing director with no name... a sinister creature on guard patrol resembling some kind of hellhound... SeneNet is no ordinary multinational company...

The Doctor arrives in Brighton, 1989, traveling alone. He soon discovers his old friend, the Brigadier, has gone missing investigating SeneNet, whose new interactive games console is soon to be released at an absurdly reasonable price. He was last seen at their headquarters -- based in the picturesque Ashdown Forest...

Investigating further, the Doctor becomes more and more entangled in a deadly web of intrigue. Together with Mel, a plucky computer programmer from Pease Pottage, the Doctor must overcome the conspiracy of silence, rescue the Brigadier and save the world once again -- something that would be a lot easier if he just know where to start...

This novel is of note for a couple of reasons. First, as you can likely tell from the back cover, it is the first appearance of Mel Bush, whose first meeting with the Doctor was (cleverly) overlooked in the television series.

Second, this is a sequel to the Virgin Missing Adventure The Scales of Injustice, also by Gary Russell. We talked about Scales way back in Episode 5, so you might like to take a gander at that before you listen to our review of Business Unusual.

Third, this novel, like its prequel, features the return of one of Doctor Who's recurring monsters. We won't tell you which, but if you go back and read the back cover very, very carefully you'll likely figure it out.

So quick! Grab Business Unusual and watch this spot for its release within a week or so. My crystal ball tells me this might be another polarizing episode, but I've been proven wrong in the past.

In this week’s episode we continue our look at Gallifrey’s baddies in our continuing overview of rouge Time Lords. This time it’s the co-creator of Time Lord society, Omega. We’ll first take an in-depth look at the Fifth Doctor story, Arc of Infinity, and then a review of the Big Finish Audio production of Omega.

Also, we get a tad off topic (what else is new?) and ponder a curious dichotomy in the Pooh-niverse. Plus, a peek at the news going on this week surrounding our favorite series.

And, of course, your feedback.

Enjoy!

Whilst Paul is on his holidays, Phil enlists the help of new friend to the show Stephen Prescott from the rather excellent Mad Man With A Box Podcast to discuss The Fires of Pompeii. During the discussion, Stephen educates Phil on Latin textbooks and they both go wildly off tangent and delve into the merits of RTD versus The Moff and whether longstanding fans requests for classic monsters such as Ice Warriors and Zygons to return to the show would be a good thing.

Also in a very short news section, John Barrowman wants Captain Jack to return to Doctor Who and an actress who appeared in Doctor Who over 50 years ago reaches the grand age of 100. And because of that, we are claiming her as our own first Doctor Who centenarian. Join us!!

Yes, we know we were meant to be doing "Aliens", this week, but Mr Chris has had to complete some community service work and couldn't attend. Rather than review "Aliens", without him, Mr Pete and Mr Paul decided that we would drop a recent film into the pit of Pharos and review "The Cabin in the Woods". News and feedback are covered first, so listeners who haven't seen the film can switch off before the SPOILERS begin.

No podcast next week, as we're all out on a jolly. In two week's time "Aliens", and after that, Hammer Horror.

As a result of one of the lightest news weeks in recent memory in the worlds of Doctor Who, the Three Who Rule were allowed to devote their full attention to a commentary on Elisabeth Sladen's (first) finale in the classic series, namely 1976's "The Hand of Fear". Quarries, nuclear plants, Judith Paris in a sexy, skin tight rock costume, Rex Robinson's eyebrows - surely this story was a can't miss, epic conclusion to Sarah Jane Smith's tenure in the TARDIS, right? Well...at least there's that goodbye scene to look forward to, right? Also in this episode: a review of Michael E. Briant's upcoming memoir "Who is Michael E. Briant?", the classic Who director's collected memories of his time on Who and other TV shows of the day. Eldrad must live!

With a plethora of Doctor Who fan productions making the news over the past few weeks, we decided to bring them all together in one big podKast (with a “K”) discussion!
From Gareth Kavanagh’s production of The Robots of Death (the first night of which will star Blake’s 7′s Paul Darrow) to the new interpretation of The Power of the Daleks written by, directed and starring Nick Scovell by way of Dennis Spielman’s Who-inspired Time Traveling Troupe improv web series, we cover a wide range of opinions and thoughts. Featuring an interview with Spielman and a discussion about the pitfalls of planning and producing a fan film.

Regular listeners may have noticed that we had some iTunes issues recently – these are now resolved, so you can find us listed on iTunes once again, you can subscribe to our RSS feed or you can simply use the player buttons above or in the top-right corner of the website!
