Who's He? Podcast #210 Oh I've seen the light
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 20 minutes and 0 secondsIn a momentous news week for Doctor Who, Phil takes the extraordinary step of interrupting this weeks news section with the air date for series 9, a brand spanking new series 9 trailer and a trailer featuring the Doctor for Lego Dimensions! But back in the past with the lads original news item, they try to catch up on the news they have missed over the last couple of weeks and they even try to fit in a quick soujorn to Omega's Tat Corner.
But the real reason for this weeks episode is the continuation of their audio commentary for The Stones Of Blood episodes 3 and 4. So queue more facts from the day of original transmission and Tony yet again continues with his extremely libellous facts on Tom Baker!
-
Who's He? Podcast #209 Some in circles, some alone
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 53 minutes and 41 secondsIt's that time of year where Phil and Paul get Tony back on the podcast in a sweltering July day for an audio commentary and this time it's The Stones of Blood episodes 1 and 2. And because it was so damn hot, they chose to not do any news this week and just crack on with proceedings. So queue lots of facts from the day of original episode broadcast, Tony gives an insight into Tom Bakers treatment of the working classes and this commentary also features lots of talk about sex toys.
-
Who's He? Podcast #208 You want more and you want it fast
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 38 minutes and 24 secondsWhat have the Romans ever done for us? According to Boudica not much as Phil and Paul review the 4th Doctor Big Finish story The Wrath of The Iceni. In this story of ancient Britain and the rebellion against the empire (the Roman one that is), Phil and Paul have a little disagreement of their own as both have opposing views on this story and on the Doctor! So sit back and listen to two old gits who most likely had first hand experience of the Roman occupation.
And in the news, Steven Moffat gets an OBE, a series 9 teaser trailer, San Diego Comic Con tat that didn't make it into Omega's Tat Corner and John Nathan Turner gets his own bus.
And Phil now refers to you all as fans, not listeners as his ego runs rampant.
-
Who's He? Podcast #207 They're putting us in little boxes
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 56 minutes and 39 secondsThis week Phil and Paul give their series 2 retrospective a dusting down with a look The Idiot's Lantern written by Mark Gatiss. Both of them seem to have a bit of hard time with this one, with ropey acting and the Doctor and Rose being more smug that it is humanly possible to stomach. However, Phil gets cold feet while criticising an actor with dubious connections while Paul quickly distances himself by pinching the last lifeboat.
And in the news, the Doctor Who Festival is coming to London this November, casting and writer news for series 9 and in Omega's Tat Corner, John Barrowman gets scrutinised and a new Doctor Who Plush doll for which Paul uses to plug the all new Phil Plush doll that comes with four adorable catchphrases!
-
Who's He? podcast #206 Botanical creature stirs seeking revenge
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 56 minutes and 56 secondsOnce again Phil & Paul dip their toes into the literary world with a review of the Target novelisation of that confirmed fan fvourite Terror Of The Vervoids by Pip and Jane Baker (note the sarcasm there?). Well....I think you know what to expect from this one folks but let's go through the motions shall we? Does this book put right all the wrongs of the TV serial and does the description of the Vervoids improve on their presentation on the screen? But Phil and Paul actually disagree on the merits of the Vervoids which I think they did to liven things up a bit. However, mentions of Police Squad and Charley Farley and Piggy Malone break things up, so it's not all bad!
And in the news this week, Phil seeks Paul's opinion on Moffat staying on for another year which he missed out on during the last podcast, plus news of the Moff feeling guilty about reversing the outcome of the Time War and in Omega's Tat Corner it's tat for those cold, dark barbecue evenings!
-
Who's He? Podcast #205 They say she comes on a pale horse
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 38 minutes and 48 secondsThis weeks episode of the Who's He? Podcast starts off strangely as Paul is off out and about and it's left down to Phil to present the quickest news section ever for this podcast. And all he can talk about is whinging Doctor Who fans angry at the news that Steven Moffat has signed up for series 10 and talk of the 12th Doctor fancying Clara in series 9. But let's face it, Phil loves talking about whinging fans.
But once the news is out of the way, it's down to business and Phil and a returning Paul discuss Master, the 3rd in the 40th Anniversary trilogy from Big Finish in 2003. So after enjoying Davros last time, will this be 2 out of 3 for enjoyment or will this join Omega in the not great category? But in a tale of lost memories, spooky houses, serial killers and Death itself, what's not to enjoy? Tune in to find out!
-
Who's He? Podcast #204 Into the valley of steel
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 48 minutes and 25 secondsOnce again it's time to for Phil and Paul to return to series 2 with their ongoing retrospective and The Age Of Steel. But after a few weeks of happiness, the podcast comes down to earth with a bump as while they find this is quite enjoyable, there is a lot wrong with it, especially for Phil who wears his grumpy face throughout this episode, with talk of Cybermen that can tip-toe and what was the point of Cybus anyway?
And Phil also keeps his grumpy face on during the news whilst talking about the return of Osgood in series 9 but gets a lot happier towards the end with the news that Doctor Who will be making an appearance in an upcoming LEGO video game.
-
Who's He? Podcast #203 Dinosaurs roaming the earth
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 6 minutes and 20 secondsIn this weeks episode, Phil and Paul take a look at another Target novelisation with Doctor Who And The Dinosaur Invasion by Malcom Hulke. This is a story that both Paul and Phil love with a plot that has more twists and turns than a twisty turny thing and rubbish puppet dinosaurs. So did this book change any of those plots twists and did it go to any lengths to address the dinosaur factor? What did they find in addition were drunken Scotsmen, no cars of vanity and Phil trying to convince Paul of a what he believes to be a major change to one of the characters.
And in this news, more cast names and the episode total for Series 9, Doctor Who wins a BAFTA amd in Omega's Tat Corner it's pricey tat that both Phil and Paul would like to own.
-
Who's He? Podcast #202 I've seen the future, I can't afford it
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 45 minutes and 17 secondsIn this weeks show, Phil and Paul review Davros, which is the 2nd part of a trilogy from Big Finish to celebrate Doctor Who's 40th anniversary. And what a story it is, with neither of them having a bad word to say about it, this really is a Doctor Who love in! So expect the pair of them to continue with the praise for Colin Baker but be warned....both Phil and Paul were ill during this recording, so you may catch something.
And in a bumper news section, it looks like a Doctor Who movie is on the cards (again), more from Christopher Eccleston on why he left the role and in Omega's Tat Corner, tons of Weeping Angel tat and Omega gets saucy!
-
Who's He? Podcast #201 Dig that heavy metal underneath your hood
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 46 minutes and 48 secondsAfter what seems like years, Phil and Paul return to their series 2 retrospective with a look at Rise Of The Cybermen. How do the pair of them feel about this story after all these years and did it stand up as a reboot of the iconic Doctor Who villain? They discuss these topics whilst also comparing the Preachers to Citizen Smith which causes Paul to delve into Google.
And in the news, the pair of them try bravely to discuss a potential spoiler without actually telling anyone what the spoiler is and in Omega's Tat Corner it's time for Pop-tastic figures and some really expensive bluetooth speakers.
-
Who's He? Podcast #200 I think you're the same as me
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 54 minutes and 8 secondsIn this the 200th edition of the Who's He? Podcast, Phil and Paul have selected a suitable Target book to review in the shape of The Five Doctors. As usual they make comparisions between the book and the televised version and try to ascertain what differences there are in this story from the pen of Terrance Dicks. Also, does anything make the book better than the broadcast story? But I'll let you into a little secret....they both like this story anyway, so expect them both to gush horribly.
And they try to play catch up with the news that haven't covered over the last few weeks which includes Peter Capaldi surprising fans at the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff, the Hugo nominations, series 9 casting news and the future of Doctor Who on the TV.
-
Who's He? Podcast #199 There they laid side by side
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 15 minutes and 55 secondsIn this weeks show, Phil, Paul and Tony continue with their commentary for The Gunfighters with episodes 3 & 4. And yet again they struggle to get through another 2 episodes of barely concealed English accents but they do bring you facts from the day of the original broadcast to liven things up and stop themselves dying from boredom.
And in a replacement for the news, Phil and Paul take the opportunity to look back 26th March 2005 when Rose was broadcast in a small celebration of the 10th anniversary of Doctor Who returning to our screens.
-
Who's He? Podcast #198 It's a mean old scene
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 52 minutes and 28 secondsIt's the Who's He? Podcasts 4th birthday and what better than a commentary to celebrate! Yes, Phil, Paul and a returning Tony plough through episodes 1 & 2 of The Gunfighters, that well regarded William Hartnell classic from 1966. Well I say well regarded as the brave trio manfully struggle with phoney American accents and try to bring you facts from the day of the original broadcast. In fact, they talk about that more than the episodes themselves, that's how bad it is!!
And there is no news this week, as they just wanted to get cracking with the commentary for a change.
And a big thank you to all our listeners for sticking with us for the past 4 years!!
-
Who's He? Podcast #197 I can't hide
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 46 minutes and 36 secondsIn this weeks show, Phil and Paul look at Omega from Big Finish. This story was the first in a trilogy to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Doctor Who in 2003 and this tale featuring the 5th Doctor saw him going up against his old nemesis, Omega. But how does this hold up today? Well, if their reaction is anything to go by, not very well! And Phil is let down by Caroline Munro which makes him sad.
And in the news this week, the sad passing of another Who actor, the Saturn Awards nominations are announced, the Horror Channel comes to Freeview (which means Doctor Who for all) and in Omega's Tat Corner it's board game mania!

Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 5 minutes and 56 secondsIt's book review time once again on the Who's He? Podcast and this time they look at their first 7th Doctor novelisation with Battlefield. But oh dear, what is this? Phil starts off grumpy and sees fit to pick holes in the story? And Paul does too? And they can't help themselves with poking fun at the TV version as well? Will they change their tune before the end of the review? Listen to find out!!
And in the news this week, Phil and Paul pay tribute to Barry Newbury who sadly passed away and in Omega's Tat Corner it's ingot and umbrella time!!
-

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 46 minutes and 48 secondsFresh from the Gallifrey One convention, the Who's He? Podcast come back down to earth with a bump as they continue their series 2 retrospective with The Girl In The Fireplace. What can they say about this rightly regarded modern classic of Doctor Who that hasn't already been said? Not much really but it does lead Phil and Paul onto a discussion about whether Steven Moffat being the head writer, Executive Producer and Script Editor of Doctor Who is a good thing and can lessons be learnt from the past?
And in a slow news week, the return of Missy in series 9, Kate Lethbridge-Steward debuts on Big Finish and in Omega's Tat Corner it's tat for your fridges, laptops and bedroom walls.

Who's He? Podcast #190 Gee it's good to be back home
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 42 minutes and 23 secondsIt's time for another Target book review and this time Phil and Paul have chosen Destiny Of The Daleks written by Terrance Dicks. Phil is not such a fan of this story, so his judgement is already quite clouded, while Paul tries to find the good story lurking beneath. While this book is the fastest release Target made after a story's transmission (and it shows!), the shabby nature of the TV serial shines through which only leads Phil to conclude that the one thing that could have saved the book and the TV serial is extra boobs.
And in the news this week, how Doctor Who fared at the National Television awards, some more series 9 updates, Russell T. Davies on writing a Doctor Who movie script and in Omega's Tat Corner it's kitchen tat and some new figures that evoke memories of a BBC newsreader from days gone by.

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 37 minutes and 25 secondsIn this week episode, the Who's He? Podcast look at another Big Finish title The Auntie Matter starring Tom Baker and Mary Tamm. In this tale of chinless wonders, maiden Aunts and apologetic murderous robot butlers, Phil and Paul lament the fact this is the first ever story that they have reviewed that features Mary Tamm and can't believe why they haven't featured her so far and they discuss whether this story really fits in with season 16.
And in the news, there are no stats!! But there is news of Russell T. Davies of never wanting to write for Doctor Who again, some more series 9 filming news and John Barrowman announces the return of further Torchwood audio stories that gives Phil unwanted flashbacks to Miracle Day.

Other topics crop up along the way with reasons why Anthony Head should have been made the Master, Rose at her most possessive and sparkling dialogue!

So do they make of this years festive offering? Well, they make the case for Shona McCullough to not be the next companion in the Tardis and Phil is not too sure whether the subect matter is suitable for a Christmas special and Paul, still recovering in his sick bed, wonders whether this story actually needed Santa Claus at all.
And in the news, the overnight viewing figure for Last Christmas, the future of Jenna Coleman seems to be set and the Doctor tops a BFI poll of the best sci-fi characters.
-

Podcast Christmas Special and once again they look back at a Doctor Who Christmas Special of the past and this year it's the turn of The Runaway Bride. And joining Phil this time is Martyn Havell from the Bad Wilf Podcast who fills in for an absent Paul. So how kindly has time treated this story of giant spiders, jilted brides, robot Santa's and Tardis car chases? Is it a case of Christmas cheer or a case of bah humbug?
And in the news, the passing of Tom Adams, a series of Colonel Lethbridge Stewart novels are announced, news of a BBC theme park and in Omega's Tat corner it's metal tat!
-
Who's He? Podcast #185 Come and keep your comrade warm

Podcast, Phil and Paul return to the audio stories of Big Finish with a look at the 7th Doctor story Thin Ice, the first in the Lost Stories series.

Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 9 minutes and 6 secondsIn this weeks episode of the Who's He? Podcast, Phil and Paul take a look back over series 8 of Doctor Who (not series 7 as Phil stated last week!) and deliver their opinion of the series as a whole. And for once they try and have some semblance of structure to the critique but this soon goes out of the window while talking about hot topics such as plot threads that went nowhere, the real plot arc of this series and the effect Peter Capaldi has had on the show. But more importantly they vote for their favourite and least favourite episodes, plus which directors and writers they would like to see return for series 9!
And in the news this week, the final round of the dreaded stats, the extension of the TARDIS set tours into December and a little report on their visit to Doctor Who: Anatomy of a Hit hosted by the Royal Television Society.
-
Who's He? Podcast #182 He opened the lid and shook his fist
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 14 minutes and 6 secondsIt's the finale of series 8 with Death In Heaven by Steven Moffat. And did this finale deliver the goods and did Moffat keep his fairly good track record and deliver another quality series finish? Well, Phil and Paul really can't make their minds up in what proves to be a very argumentative episode. Yes, Phil and Paul seem quite content to contradict one another all through this and as usual Phil is angrier than most. In fact he gets so wound up, he misses plot points that Paul has to remind him of and he even stops remembering what series he has been watching!
And in the news, more stats to bore you with, award news, the BBC responds to complaints over Dark Water which naturally gets Phil riled up and in Omega's Tat Corner, more tat from Titan and the New Zealand Mint.
-

And in the news, the weekly drudgery of stats, the Doctor Who Experience has a problem which leads to Phil and Paul starting rumours, Welsh BAFTA's and in Omega's Tat Corner, a 5th Doctor jumper to keep you warm on those cold winter nights! Or you could just put the heating on.
-
Who's He? Podcast #180 Because you told the blabbering trees
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 55 minutes and 49 secondsIn this weeks episode of the Who's He? Podcast, Phil and Paul take a look at In The Forest Of The Night, the latest and what seems to be the most poorly recieved episode in this series of Doctor Who.

After last weeks episode that divided fandom, is this a story that finds fandom reunited and more importantly do Phil and Paul show a united front also? Will Phil rant like he did last week or is it Paul's turn? One thing is for sure, they have longer than 66 seconds to decide! But the prog rock dinosaurs that they are, they still can't figure out just who Foxes is.
And in an incredibly quiet news week, they can only bring you stats!!
-
Who's He? Podcast 177 Hanging by a little thread
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 52 minutes and 21 secondsKill The Moon, the most divisive of episodes this series so far! Fans either love or hate this Marmite flavoured episode but what about the Who's He? Podcast? Well, they certainly don't sit on the fence and are quite clear on what they thought but after a very long time, Phil lets rip with a rant that will most likely lose this podcast listeners!

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 59 minutes and 20 secondsThis week and with some trepidation, the Who's He? Podcast reviewing duo take a look at The Caretaker, episode 6 of series 8 of Doctor Who. But why the trepidation? Well, Phil is not exactly Gareth Roberts biggest fan, so his usually well balanced (ahem) critique is under scrutiny, while Paul is much more reserved and ponders over the plot and wonders whether the alien of the week needed to be there at all? And Phil gets caught off guard by being pleasantly surprised not once but twice!
And in the news, the sad loss of Maggie Stables, more stats than you can handle, more DVD news and in Omega's Tat Corner it's rare tat time and quite possibly the most expensive and biggest item of tat ever!

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 49 minutes and 46 secondsThe Doctors arch nemesis is back in episode 2 of series 8, Into The Dalek. Does this story add anything new to the Dalek mythos and does it make the nations favourite bad guys bad again or reduced to fairground ride status? Join Phil and Paul as they dissect this story from the returning pen of Phil Ford (and Steven Moffat) and look inside a good Dalek. Or a bad Dalek, a shy Dalek, a coy Dalek, an embarrassed Dalek, a coquettish Dalek, a romantic Dalek....(alright, get on with it!)
