From TARDIS.wikia: “Although the interactive nature of the story would be compatible with DVD/Blu-Ray controllers, as of 2011 no home video release of Attack of the Graske has occurred or been announced. This renders it one of only two David Tennant-era Doctor Who-related productions (the other being the non-canonical Tonight’s the Night skit) that has not, and likely will not, see official home video release.”

Links mentioned in the show: Big Finish *I’m pretty sure the Big Finish Audio that featured the “black rectangular hole” chasing the Tardis (the time scoop, from “The Five Doctors”) was within the second season of the Paul McGann 8th Doctor Adventures. I belive it was episode 2.7 “Sisters Of The Flame”, but bewarned! This is the first of a THREE PART story arc, which continues in the season 2 finale 2.8 “Vengenance Of Morbius” and the season three premier, 3.1 “Orbis”. A fantastic tale, but does feature some characters from previous 8th Doctor audio adventures. – Shaun

    Wow! Twenty-five weeks have gone so fast for us here at Traveling the Vortex. And to mark the occasion, we threw a little party! It was a small intimate affair. Just a few close friends. Oh, and the Myrka. Anyway, this week we discuss the confusion and over-speculation that is the “No full season in 2012″ rumor. Also, we finish reviewing Series 2 with – Fear Her, Army of Ghosts, and Doomsday. And finally all of the wonderful feedback that we have received this week from our wonderful listeners. Enjoy!

  • Episode 22 - The Almost Podcast

    13 November 2024 (5:55am GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 minutes and 0 seconds

    We call this week’s episode, The Almost Podcast because some listeners will hear almost all of the show before they have to wait another week to hear our review of The Almost People. That’s right, our policy here at Traveling the Vortex is, if it’s aired in the U.K., we’re going to talk about it. So please keep that in mind when listening to this week’s show. However, there is still plenty for the North American folks to enjoy. We also review the subject of last week’s Seven Weeks for Seven Doctors, Vengeance on Varos, starring the Sixth Doctor and Peri. Surprisingly, there was no actual feedback this week, however, we do read out a couple of comments that are in reaction to BBC America and SPACE’s decision to delay Series Six for one week for the Memorial Day holiday.

    We start this week off with a congratulations to Steven Moffat on his BAFTA win. Then reaction to North Ameican TV networks, BBC America and SPACE’s decision to delay Series Six one week for the Memorial Day holiday. Also, your feedback, including a special poem, by one of our listeners. We also chime in on Spoliergate, and the impact spoilers have on the enjoyment of our favorite program as well as our policy on them. And two reviews. Up first is a review of the Fifth Doctor story, Black Orchid, followed by this weeks new Series Six episode, The Rebel Flesh.
