Hey Who fans. We hope you're all well? This week has some Bessie news, plenty of merch and then our review of the 9th Doctor's story - Bad Wolf.

The News

Bessie is not going into storage after a long stint at the now closed Doctor Who Experience. Instead she's off to go on display at the Motor Museum in Beaulieu, Hampshire.

Merch Corner

Dalek Tat this week brings us; a couple of unofficial books from Steve Cambden and his time on the show working in effects, The Tom Baker Years dvd is now on sale, the long waited The Memoir of Sydney Newman will be with us next month and two new alternate commentaries are released from Fantom Films.

"Bad Wolf" Review

It had to happen one day. Yes, we've started that sad walk into our final reviews for Chris Eccleston's time as The Doctor. We're looking at the series one finale part one - Bad Wolf. Dated TV references (for some), suspense, deaths, naked Captain Jack, transmats and surprises this episode has it all. Are we gripped to this final story or does the disc get swiftly evicted from our blu ray/dvd players?

Thank you so much for listening as always! Next week we finish off our 9th Doctor reviews with The Parting of the Ways (sniff sniff) so get your reviews ready. Until then have a fantastic week and remember - Allons-y!

Whooverville 9 coverage continues with a chat to Christopher Benjamin, Henry Gordon Jago himself.

In which we come into watching "Blink" with good intentions, and leave it lying in a ditch somehow.

Our Companions Season of the show continues with special guests Amber Chipman and Laury Plant, and we proceed to pull strings while we watch a modern classic. Marvel as Brandon can't remember any names. Again. Be totally surprised when Moffat keeps a woman sad and waiting. There's angels. There is dick pics, kinda. There are white girls named Sally. There's... a lot. Get ready to hate us real bad, but please, remember that we love you.

Faced with the prospect of discussing a tortured Cybermen story, we turned this into a Cybermen travelogue. "Attack" takes place just before Tenth Planet, and just after Tomb of the Cybermen. To make that make sense, we talk our way through ALL Cybermen stories. And find out what makes sense and what doesn't.

This week we cover story #145, Paradise Towers. The Doctor and Mel visit the famed Paradise Towers luxury resort community for some much-needed R&R -- but something is terribly wrong here. The people are divided between the tribal Kangs, the suburban Rezzies, and the militaristic Caretakers, and mysterious disappearances are commonplace. What dark secret lurks beneath these accursed towers?

QotW: If you could leave graffiti for the Doctor to find, what message would you leave?

In this episode Phil and Paul have another crack at a Target novelisation with The Greatest Show In The Galaxy by Stephen Wyatt. As neither Phil nor Paul are particular fans of McCoys era on TV, they were both afraid that this read would be a struggle. However, as Phil has a soft spot for this story and Paul doesn't it didn't bode well for this review but the pair of them surprised each other when they started talking and they also decide who Peggy Mount could take in a fight.

And in a change to the normal schedule, Phil talks to writer Andrew Smith about Doctor Who and most importantly his 10K run in aid of the Lily Foundation, a charity that is very important to him. So sit back and enjoy and don't forget to donate!

Hello! We know some of you have been itching to hear the episode where we discuss Nu-Who's Beryl Reid... and here it is! In addition to that we discuss all the big Doctor Who news stories for the month of September and, of course, read your emails & have some fun along the way.

Today's episode covers:

CLASSIC WHO: Big Finish is creating a series of First Doctor adventures where David Bradley will take the lead. How does this sit with Dave, who rates the First Doctor as 'his' Doctor? What do Adam Lambert and Queen have to do with it and how do the guys feel about Big Finish in general at the present time and where its all going?

NU-WHO: After they left Doctor Who, Matt Smith and Jenna Coleman both took on roles in Royal dramas, specifically, The Crown on Netflix and Victoria on ITV. Victoria's ratings have recently plunged. What's behind it all?

NU-WHO: Bradley Walsh. A month on from last episode, the guys still don't know if he'll be Jodie Whittaker's companion, or at least have a part in the new series.

NU-WHO: The 2017 Christmas Special synopsis has leaked in a peculiar manner... but nothing fans didn't already know, so the way it was yanked offline again was amusing.

NU-WHO: According to 'Now We Are 600', Harriet Jones didn't die. Rob has a bit of a rant on this revelation pulling the rug on what everyone believed was an on-screen death. Dave ponders why people can't leave things alone.

CLASSIC WHO: Dave's been on a personal mission this past month to watch a collection of 'lowly-regarded six parters' from the Classic Era. These include: The Seeds of Death, The Mutants, The Sensorites and The Time Monster. How did they hold up during this Classic Era bender?

CLASSIC WHO: Rob, meanwhile, zipped through The Android Invasion recently, for the first time in 20 years or more. He gives a few thoughts on watching this less remembered story from an otherwise absolutely classic Season 13.

CLASSIC WHO: Dave ponders what would have happened in Classic Era stories if the Doctor hadn't turned up. He comments on Masque of Mandragora, The Seeds of Doom, and City of Death, but can you think of more? Write in today!

NU-WHO: Who is Nu-Who's Beryl Reid? More specifically, what are examples of stunt casting (bad) or celebrity casting (good), since the series returned in 2005? Dave and Rob bring examples of each, as well as thoughts from our listeners. Do you agree? Let us know what you think of what's covered in this feature for next ep's mailbag.

FINALLY: Emails from Christopher Bryant and Mike Solko relating to our recent Buffy episode. Did they enjoy it? And Ezra Penny chimes in on the topic of episodes that are generally slated by fans but which he really enjoys.

Dave also comments on it being launch season for US television, with particular comments on The Orville.

Thanks everyone, as always, for listening. We greatly appreciate your ears, your emails and your tweets and, if you really want to make our day, why not leave us an iTunes review sometime? It really helps us get noticed.

See you in October for both our monthly show where we'll be looking at the Peter Davison era of Doctor Who.

After a short hiatus, during which we focused our attention on...well, other stuff, we return with a fun-packed and booze-soaked discussion of "The Tomb of the Cybermen", also none as "The One That Was Found in a Church Basement". There's hand-holding, computer mice, and racism. In other words, just another evening at The TARDIS Tavern.

You can email us stuff at tardistavern@gmail.com and join the fun on our Facebook page. It's where all the cool kids hang out.

Knock Knock! Who's there? Kara Dennison, that's who, as the esteemed blogger, fan, and interviewer for Onezumi Events joins the Three Who Rule to look back at "Knock Knock" in our continuing Second Chances series re-reviewing Series 10 in the lead up to "Twice Upon A Time". Speaking of which, a synopsis for the 2017 Christmas Special was posted (then deleted), and there's exciting news of a new series of First Doctor audio stories from Big Finish starring David Bradley as the First Doctor!

It only took 5 weeks, but this week we’re cashing in on the most popular Doctor Who villain ever created. We probably could have held out longer, but we need people to listen. It’s Dalek, written by Robert Shearman and aired on April 30, 2005.
