Hello! For a month where we approached this episode thinking, "What on earth is there to talk about (aside from our monthly feature)?" a surprising amount dropped in the week before we recorded and we respond in kind.

Today's episode - broadly - covers:

NU-WHO: Bradley Walsh is strongly rumoured to be Jodie Whittaker's companion in Series 11. Who is he? What's he been in? How might this play out in terms of a young-looking Doctor with a much older companion?

CLASSIC WHO: A new version of Shada is on the way. Rob can barely contain his boredom. Is it needed? How will it look? So many questions.

NU-WHO: Brand-new commentary on Jodie Whittaker from Steven Moffat and Russell T Davies. Jodie's also been getting around some radio stations.

NU-WHO: Rumours of Jenna Coleman appearing in the Christmas special remain just that for now - rumours. However a picture of the new Ben Jackson appears and pleases both Rob and Dave in terms of his likeness.

CLASSIC WHO/NU-WHO: Red White and Who: The Story of Doctor Who in America was released earlier this week and Rob and Dave had an advance copy with many of the chapters in it. They talk about the book and US fandom.

CLASSIC WHO: August 29 is the 30th Anniversary of Dave's first Doctor Who club meeting that he attended with his Dad, aged 7. Rob realises, on air, that 1987 was when he attended his first fan event, aged 12.

CLASSIC WHO/NU-WHO: Rob gives a podcast shout-out to I'll Explain Later & Complete Menagerie. He also mentions Progtor Who recently having it's third birthday and notes that Who Wars (which is the father of today's Doctor Who Show), first went out on Sept 7 2014; almost three years, too.

CLASSIC WHO: Dave's been watching the Hartnell classic, The Ark, and finds the message it sends being extremely relevant for today.

NU-WHO: Rob calls for submissions to our "Nu-Who's Beryl Reid" episode, set for September 24. "Everyone talks about Classic Who and stunt casting... but who are the celebrities in Nu-Who that really made you sit up, both for good reasons and bad?!?" Get your submissions in ASAP.

CLASSIC WHO/NU-WHO: Our main topic for this episode is Doctor Who stories that listeners (and us) either didn't get or just didn't enjoy as children, but which we really enjoy as adults. These are almost all classic era stories, but one Nu-Who bolter makes it through at the end. Features emails from Mark Smith and Jim Hall in addition to listener suggestions from: Jim Hall, The Polis Box, Mark Watts, Isaac Dakin, James Stoker, Ganesh Projoy, Jon Arnold, Brendan Jones, Brian Dobson, Paul Scoones, spankybackpack, John Hole, Dave Ringo, Dylan Rees, We Are Cult, David Lancaster, Hayden Gribble, Christopher Bryant, and The Ginger Luke. Thanks for your thoughts!

FINALLY: The second half of our mega email from Jim Hall, discussing the Doctor Who Magazine comics in the era of Tom Baker's final season.

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 on there.

See you in September for both our monthly show and the first in a new series of 'Alternate Galaxies' episodes where, for our first episode, we'll put Buffy the Vampire Slayer under the spotlight and let you know why, as a Doctor Who fan, you might be interested in watching it (if you haven't watched it already).

What you are about to hear is the story of a connection, a connection that was made between a television series and a viewer's life.

The You and Who books are the story of that connection, as told by the people who watch the programmes that make us come alive. Chiefly, of course, Doctor Who.

This podcast will relate some of the stories from those books... and beyond.

In this episode:

Everything's Connected by Al No

With an introduction featuring Rob Irwin talking to JR Southall.

The You and Who books, from which all royalties are paid to charity, are available in print and for Kindle, from watchingbooks.weebly.com

Find Rob on Twitter @theDWshow and JR on Twitter @JR_Southall

We’ve never really explained what we do, so we finally decided to sit down and do that!

This is a short 6-minute intro episode to the show. We realize we’re recording this after establishing a fair amount of episodes, but hey, better late than never! Hopefully this gives you a feel for the show and where to start listening.

Victoria, Jamie and the Second Doctor are high above it all on the top floor of a space elevator. They aren't alone, of course, as an alien force has taken over the crew and the weather control systems for the planet below with very little time to save the day. All in all a fairly normal day for them.

News items:

• Mark Gatiss’ unmade script for the 10th Doctor
• BBC Worldwide to release Doctor Who Audio Annual

Finally unlike Bad Boys 3 (gutted they're not doing another one) the Bad boys of geekdom - Monts and Nuge are back.

No real main topic just a lot of catching up on what they've been reading and watching.

All I'll say is there are spoliers for Iron Fist but other than that it's all good.

Other stuff discussed include The Expanse,Faith,Velvet,The Defenders (no spoliers) and more.

Enjoy!

Hey Who fans. Quiet week for news, a couple of bits of news then onto our review of Nightmare in Silver.

The News

We discuss the rumour that's blown up the last few days that Bradley Walsh could be the next companion.

Merch Corner

Dalek Tat brings us a few goodies this week; a collected 100 editions of the Australian fanzine Data Extract, a new Doctor Who Magazine Special Edition and two classic stories - The Daleks and Survival are getting their respective soundtracks released.

"Nightmare in Silver" Review

We've been putting this one off for ages but it's time to make a stand and crack on with reviewing this often beaten on 11th Doctor story. Is it a case of a re-watch giving us a different appreciation for it or does it remain as it's title suggests - a nightmare.

Thank you so much guys for listening giving us your reviews and audio clips. Next week it's back to the classics with the 2nd Doctor story The Enemy of the World. Have a great week and remember - Allons-y!

We recap our visit to the 2017 Golden Triangle Comic Con in Episode 67. We discuss Marvel vs. DC, Doctor Who, and mention our favourite moments from the con. We meet the awesome Dietrich O. Smith, talk with the guys from Powers Not Included and Jeremy London, and end the day by visiting with CandyGirl Cosplay. It's all about Discussing Comics in Episode 67 of Discussing Who.

This is Bags of Action. The podcast devoted to action movies, both old and new, but all of them are awesome! In this episode Steve and Pete are joined by semi-regular co-host Barry Nugent from Geek Syndicate. This episode we are talking about the 1995 film Bad Boys starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. 22 years on from when the film came out, how does it hold up? This was in the early days of Michael Bay when he was on a high, but is it as good as we remember?
