Episode 43 : The Unicorn and the Wasp
The Untempered Schism PodcastFor the Tenth Doctor and Donna, there's always time to crash a party, doubly so when it's a party in 1926. It gets even better when the they discover the great mystery writer Agatha Christie is at the party and they arrive just in time to land in a murder right out of a game of Cluedo. Just to add to the fun, both The Unicorn and the Wasp are running around, and Ms Christie is due to go missing that very evening.

The Trial Of A Time Lord 1-4 (Well Technically It's More Of An Inquiry)
The Naked ScarfJoin Adam, Andi and Stephen as they start to tackle one of the most controversial stories in Doctor Who’s history. Does it deserve it’s terrible reputation? Do we really need constant cutaways to court? How many crash zooms can one face stand? Will Adam give in to Andi’s utterly random demands to put the song Sex Dwarf into this episode? And is the world truly ready for a sexy William Hartnell Halloween costume?

029 Doctor Who (Terror of the Autons)
theTimeVaultA stage hypnotist and a factory worker employ a team of mime artists to run their own radio station whilst taking part in a bus tour for a group of artificial florists with abnormally large heads. Clearly this contravenes all the laws of, erm...sense, so U.N.I.T. is called in to put a stop to it. The Doctor can't take part though because he's confused by a window and challenged some clowns to a fist fight. Not to worry, the clumsy work experience girl has just brought the Brigadier a damp plank of wood, just what he needs to defeat the Sparkly Fingers of Death...

Krynoid Podcast 031: The Masque of Mandragora
The Krynoid Podcast"Fail me and you will breakfast on burning coals!" Count Federico introduces Renaissance Italy's hot new diet sensation in the 1976 pseudo-historical epic, The Masque of Mandragora. The fourth Doctor and Sarah wander round The Village watching look-unlikes fighting and mounting horses, while avoiding executioner's swords, sacrificial knives and cockernee pikemen's pikes. Gert and Daisy get chained up, the Doctor and Sarah get dressed up and Pat Gorman and Stuart Fell get messed up by the Mandragoran Helix while the light shines out of Hieronymous's eye-holes. And Dr Phill drops by to give us his expert opinion on the music - made and found - for this one. Get Jim and Martin's verdict on this 15th Century sword and sorcery spectacular now!

The Oncoming Storm Ep 7: BF #6 - What Exactly IS a Marian Anyway?
The Oncoming StormIt'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.

Alison Haislip/Silence in the Library & Forest of the Dead
A Mad Man with a BoxI’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!

Episode 16: Business Unusual
The Doctor Who Book Club PodcastThis 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.
