Latest Podcast Episodes

Hey! It's Tom and Louis discussing the early episodes of Awake. Just in time for... the late episodes for Awake.

You're judging us. Stop judging us.

A cleaning lady. A child killer. That scary wiccan chick. What do they all have in common? Why, they're all discussed in the 8th Episode of The Oncoming Storm of course! Josh and Ashley are looking at Cat's Cradle: Warhead this week, a novel by former script editor of Doctor Who Andrew Cartmel. With someone who was that close to the television show, it's sure to be just like what we used to watch on the telly right? When you're done laughing at that little ditty, turn on Josh and Ashley as they discuss the beginnings of the"Dark" Doctor, the benfits of ignoring character dialogue, and just what it means if you find yourself in the unfortunate position of being "useful" to the Doctor. All this and more, in the exciting 8th episode of The Oncoming Storm! The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got even less cats! There was, like, one page with a cat! Who does Virgin think they're fooling???

In which Susan Hill's chilling classical ghost story is shared, enthused over and examined by the Scrolls team. Clover hosts this special episode, ably assisted by Mattie & Phil and joined by the multi-talented Sarah Taylor, who has been a fan of the story (in all its forms) for many years. Whilst absent from the discussion, Dion provides a little atmosphere with selected readings from the text in the first half of the episode.

With deference to the new film and the ever popular stage production, the second half of the episode examines alternative interpretations of the tale and the ways in which they both succeed and fail to capture the essence of Hill's creation. Along with a certain amount of squeeing. I'm naming no names.

As ever with the Scrolls Book Group, spoilers abound, so we recommend that you read the book before you listen in.

Preferably by candlelight.

Alone...

On this week’s episode Dr. Phillip Serna of the Adventures in Time Space and Music Podcast and I debate if there is any recreation to be found in the re-creation machine of The Leisure Hive

To say anymore about this discussion would be to spoil it but let’s just say one of us is none too impressed by this episode.

The Key to Time season holds special childhood memories for both Josh and Steven, but what did they think of one of the more maligned instalments in Season 16, The Power of Kroll? It was written by Robert Holmes and featured some classic Tom Baker moments, so it couldn't have been all bad, right?

It's the last episode in series 2 and I prepare to get some 'well actually' emails again.

"The TARDIS arrives on an English coastline in the year 1066. Exploring, the Doctor discovers that one of his own people, the Monk, is conspiring to wipe out the Viking fleet and thus allow King Harold to face the forces of William of Normandy with a fresh army at the Battle of Hastings. The Doctor succeeds in thwarting the Monk's plans and leaves him trapped in England."

Our love affair with Tom Baker and Big Finish continues with Leeson, Trevor and James reviewing the latest batch of Fourth Doctor and Leela adventures.

Renaissance Man, Wrath of the Iceni and Energy of the Daleks are popped into the tape deck for a listen. What will the verdict be?

We’re continuing our look at the all too brief but undeniably fantastic time of Mr. Christopher Eccleston; the man who charmed a whole new generation of Whovians with his portrayal of the Ninth Doctor. Join Derek Gladu, Eric Mendoza, Linsay Wood, and Beverly Brown as we do a double header and review 2005′s “The End of the World” and “Dalek”.

From the time vortex comes a strange discussion.A Is the new companion invisible to enemies?A Where did that Dalek eye stalk come from? Does anyone on TV have a clue? And just what does the series seven trailer have in common with Red Dwarf?

On this week’s episode of Traveling the Vortex, we take a brief step out of the time vortex for a review of The Sarah Jane Smith Adventures, Series 2.

Also, it was superhero day for Keith and Shaun with a weekend trip to Omaha, Nebraska for Comic Book Day to meet “fake” Adam Baldwin (they swear he was real, but I’m still skeptical) then back to Topeka for a screening of The Avengers on the night of the “Super Moon”.

Also, a little spoiler action, as we talk Daleks in the new series. YOU’VE BEEN WARNED!

And of course your (er, Holly’s) feedback. Enjoy!

The Idiots Lantern by Mark Gatiss

Happy Birthday Mary Lang

This is our miracle episode as virtually all of Adam’s audio was lost at the end of recording. It meant a massive editing job and slight re-record to reassemble the podcast and we hope you all like the end result of the podcast that nearly never was.

This week’s show features Adam, Alicia, Kirby, Isabella, Robert and in his last appearance as a guest host, Sandro. Thank you Sandro for filling in over the last few weeks.

We have audio feedback from the Gallactic Exchange and Ian Kirk and emails from Roy Spearman and Ewan MacLeod.

There is also the top 30 Doctor Who podcasts, news and our look at The Idiot’s Lantern.

Paul is back from his holidays feeling refreshed and gets straight back into the swing of things and joins Phil to look at The Planet Of The Ood. Phil finds this one a bit of a slog to review but livens things up for himself by doing a Sid James impression, while Paul concentrates on the plot and the the social messages that this episode was trying to convey.

Also, as a special treat, Tony joins Phil and Paul for the news section which was recorded in the pub while celebrating Pauls birthday. However, Tony being Tony, he gets easily distracted and goes hunting for alien lifeforms in a bowl of wasabi peanuts and Phil gets in another impression, this time the Kinder egg advert from the 1980's. Me scrooble now!

The Bluetooth earpiece gag in "Rise of the Cybermen" was kind of obvious — it was made in 2005, after all — but Google's Project Glass plans revealed last month made me think that we're much closer to our impending cyber-conversions than previously anticipated!

We interrupt our regular reviews of Doctor Who novels with an interview with Graeme Burk and Robert Smith?, authors of the recently released Who is the Doctor, an in-depth (and, wow, we mean really in-depth) assessment of the new series, from "Rose" all the way through to "The Wedding of River Song."

In eight months, Graeme and Robert studied each and every story, taking notes on practically every aspect of the program, from those great punch-in-the-air moments to the awkward bits that don't make much sense or, quite frankly, are just plain bad. It all culminated in 421 pages of literary goodness that will inspire and delight.

Please enjoy our interview with these fine gentlemen as we discuss Who is the Doctor. Also, remember to follow the podcast on Twitter via @dwbcpodcast, Erik via @sjcaustenite, Sean via @tardistavern, and Graeme Burk via @graemeburk.

It might sound like an overstatement, but writer/script editor Dennis Spooner was one of the most important figures in the history of Doctor Who. He essentially created what is now referred to the "pseudo-historical", introduced comedy into Doctor Who as a more prominent feature, and basically created the many mannerisms of the Second Doctor, the characterization that would go on to influence all subsequent versions of The Doctor. In order to fully pay homage to Spooner, the Three Who Rule are joined by writer Graeme Burk, whose encyclopedic knowledge of Doctor Who and deep insight into Spooner's work makes this an enjoyable listen. Also discussed are some DVD releases to come in the next few months. Four Canadians blathering about Doctor Who in one podcast: how can you go wrong?
