Latest Podcast Episodes

This week, we take a break from our break between series of New Who to deliver our long-awaited commentary on a popular story from the Davison Era. Friend of the podcast Colin Neal joins all of us as we leave our howling void and race around the planet Venus in the hope of achieving Enlightenment.

Enlightenment was released on DVD in 1992/1993. In the US, it was released on its own, I think, but it’s completely unavailable on Amazon. Still, you can just buy it as part of the Black Guardian Trilogy box set (Amazon US), which is how it was released in the UK and Australia (Amazon UK).

You can find a much shorter and more focussed discussion of this episode in our regular Enlightenment episode -- Episode 88: The Other Baron, recorded in July 2016. You can find all our other commentaries on our commentaries page, obviously.

Nathan is on Twitter as @nathanbottomley, James is @ohjamessellwood, Brendan is @brandybongos Todd is @toddbeilby, Richard is @RichardLStone and Special Guest Star Colin Neal is @colin_neal. The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam. You can follow the podcast on Twitter at @FTEpodcast.

We're also on Facebook, and you can check out our website at flightthroughentirety.com. Please consider rating or reviewing us on iTunes, or we'll reach into your mind and redecorate your bedroom with everything that we find lurking around in there.

While we’ve been on our break, Doctor Who has finished its latest season, which means that there are now ten episodes of our flashcast Jodie into Terror, where we think deeply about each new episode for a couple of hours before inflicting our ill-considered opinions on a largely indifferent world. You can find Jodie into Terror at jodieintoterror.com, @JodieIntoTerror on Twitter, and on Apple Podcasts.

Over on Bondfinger, we have commentary podcasts on every single James Bond film, including a very short and incoherent one that literally no one can understand.

You can find Bondfinger at bondfinger.com, and on Twitter at @bondfingercast.

"There's your monster maker... Caught in the act."

And lo... Barry Letts did advance upon him, spitting tacks and brandishing a rubber T-Rex, with insertion on his mind.

Yes, this is yer actual Invasion of the Dinosaurs - a tale of double talk, double-crosses and double denim.

The Doctor drives stuff, Sarah discovers stuff and Yates says "Stuff you!" to his UNIT family (and to everyone outside the central London elite bubble).

Have the cast been selectively aged and rejuvenated by Whitaker's time experiments?

Is the science as shaky as the Whitehall walls? And is it worth gambling your house on?

Will Lis Sladen ever get the underwear she doesn't need?

And where will Jim and Martin place the story on a scale of Jurassic Park to The Goodies?

To find out the answers to some or none of these questions, listen here.

It's season finale time! David and Matt look back over season one of Doctor Who, recalling the few highs and many many lows. As it's the season finale both David and Matt have a special surprise for one another to celebrate their friendship surviving the ordeal.

Perivale, a place where nothing ever happens, or at least that's what Ace thinks when she and the Seventh Doctor pay a visit. Of course that's far from the truth. Almost all of Ace's old friends having been taken to another world to be hunted by Cheetah People, but it's not just Ace's friends on this dying world, but an old 'friend' of the Doctor's as well.

On this week's show, Danica and Brandon watched "The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos" and they have some thoughts! Mostly about character development through the season, but partly on the show's continuing efforts to confront ideas that are really tearing down society. Like organized religion! Yayyy!

Outro music is "TV" by Colleen Brown

Yes. That is really what this episode is called. Join Deb, Erika, and Lynne as we stumble over the title, and possibly stumble a bit over the episode itself--or at least, over this as a "finale".

What did you think of "The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos" as a finale for this series? Or even just as an episode itself? Let us know in the comments!

Happy things:

• Erika adores Radio Free Skaro's Fluid Links - LEGO Video Versions!

.Author Chris McKeon (@gentlemancmm) is my co-host as we discuss the series 11 and its finale, The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos.

Show notes here.

Ant and Barry travel in the TARDIS one last time as they head to the mysterious planet of Ranskoor Av Kolos for the series finale of Doctor Who Series 11.

In this week’s episode we wrap up our review of Series 11 with a look at ‘The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos’. Find out what we think of the last episode of Jodie Whittaker’s first season as the Doctor.

Plus, a look at some news regarding the next series.

And, of course, your feedback

Enjoy!

Your hosts cover a lot of emotional ground in Episode 63: I Tolerate This Century But I Don't Enjoy It. The guys and Ariel Leaf discuss what they’re enjoying about series 11, the family dynamics of large TARDIS crews, the evolution of the show since 1963, and a whole lot of man-thigh! Plus Pat shares a weird bummer of a short story he recently wrote, and everyone tangles in the Death Zone to figure out which new series Doctor had the best first five episodes. Whew!

Rob and Dave talk off-the-cuff and unstructured on the tenth Doctor Who Series 11 episode, The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos. What did they make of it?

[On the planet of Ranskoor Av Kolos, lies the remains of a brutal battlefield. The Doctor discovers the planet holds far more secrets, but who is the mysterious commander with no memory? And what lies beyond the mists?]

It Takes You Away

Adam, Debbie, Mary and Kirby review the penultimate story of series 11, prior to a hiatus for "new Who". We also have lots of feedback (for a change) and news.

It's DOCTOR WHO Series 11 finale time, and MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast has returned to discuss "The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos. John and I explain how we felt about the episode and how it encapsulates the entire series. There's some good, but also some elements that disappoint and frustrate us.

We talk about this new iteration of the show and how it has certainly satisfied some viewers while leaving others, like us, feeling slightly (John) or even moreso (me) let down. We extol the great cast while lamenting the less stellar writing and direction. We dive into it all.

Plus, there's trivia and news (about the show's future and how the podcast will handle ANOTHER huge hiatus between series coming up). Please have a listen!

"The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos" is upon us, and with it comes the end (almost) of Series 11, Jodie Whittaker's first run as one Doctor Who, and the Time Fam's dramatic arcs (such as there are) more or less..concluded? So what did the Three Who Rule think of this episode, the new series, Chris Chibnall's efforts as Doctor Who showrunner and all other permutations thereof? Plus news of a quite Christmas-y nature, a title for the New Year's Special, some Who-adjacent neatness and more!

Jason and Paul head back to 17th Century England as they join Team TARDIS for the biggest witch trial of the century! The only question is; are these real witches or is there alien mischief afoot? Oh yeah…and the King of England shows up and starts poking his nose around too. Join us for a wild ride and pray you don’t end up in the ducking chair!

At least we only have to do this for the rest of our lives.

Look. I run this podcast. I edit it. I maintain the website. Basically what I’m saying is that it’s my podcast. No one else’s. Am I doing this God Complex thing right? I actually don’t think I am now that I think about it. Close enough. I’ll have to look at Steven Moffat for more examples I guess. It’s The God Complex, written by Toby Whithouse and aired on September 17, 2011.

Show-notes:
1:27 Tension and release is a pretty big tenet of comedy in general and has a history of theory behind it. This article puts at least some if it in perspective.

2:15 Can’t believe there are already 13th Doctor books.
