Latest Podcast Episodes

Joining me this week to discuss series 10 finale The Doctor Falls is Chris Newman (@KosmicKris).

Shownotes here.

This week, Richard’s admiring the architecture, Brendan wants to say how-you-do, and Nathan has had a disappointingly small meal and is still feeling a little peckish. We’re all trapped in an excitingly hopeful modernist dystopia, so what else could it be but Paradise Towers?

Attendance is compulsory

Once again, we’re asking you to shape the future of this podcast by nominating a Peter Davison story to cover in our next commentary episode. But beware: this time the choice comes with potentially complex interpersonal repercussions.

To cast your vote, just go to the shownotes for Episode 116.

Buy the story!

Paradise Towers was released on DVD in 2011. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Notes and links

Le Corbusier was a French architect who was massively fond of steel, concrete and plate glass, and who would probably have enjoyed more than a few astringent beverages with Kroagnon in Space Architect School.

High-Rise tells the story of “a class war…inside a luxurious apartment block”. It was written by J G Ballard, about whom Richard has some surprising things to say.

David Snell was originally commissioned to write the incidental music for this story, but his score was rejected by JNT, and Keff McCulloch ended up hastily writing a replacement score instead. Snell’s score is available as a DVD extra.

Deputy Chief Caretaker Clive Merrison played Sherlock Holmes alongside Michael Williams as Watson for BBC Radio 4, covering every canonical Sherlock Holmes story. They’re all available from Audible, so go out and buy them immediately.

In Understanding Media, Marshall McLuhan talked about the differences between hot and cold media, which are concepts dear to the heart of any Doctor Who fan who has ever attempted to watch the Loose Cannon reconstruction of The Space Pirates.

Big Finish tackles some of this story’s themes in Spaceport Fear by William Gallagher, starring Colin Baker and Bonnie Langford.

Steven Wyatt had got the job partly on the basis of Claws, a TV play starring Brenda Blethyn and Todd’s beloved Mary Morris. It’s about cat people. Like Survival, I imagine.

And, as always, we come back to Totally Tasteless: The Life of John Nathan Turner by Richard Marson. JNT was a gay, you know.

And going slightly more highbrow, Richard alludes to The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction by Walter Benjamin, which discusses the implications of our newfound technological ability to experience works of art whenever and wherever we like.

Brendan mentions the fraught political history of Yooka-Laylee, which actually looks like a lot of fun.

The Pruitt-Igoe public housing project seems like it was a massive conglomeration of dozens of Paradise Towers in St Louis, Missouri. Read about it here.

Doctor Who creator Sydney Newman offered Michael Grade some surprising advice about how to fix Doctor Who in the 1980s. More information about this is available as a DVD extra on the Time and the Rani DVD.

Bondfinger

Yesterday we released a new commentary on the second Pierce Brosnan film, Tomorrow Never Dies. If we put that side by side with our commentary on GoldenEye, we’ll have a pair.

Of course, you can still catch our commentaries on both films of the Timothy Dalton era.

We also have plenty of Rodgecasts online, and there are other Bonds available, as well.

You can keep up with all the Bondfinger news on Twitter and Facebook.

What do a Dalek, Darth Vader, Spider-Man, and Black Canary have in common? Cosplayers and participants at the 2017 Mississippi Comic Con either cosplayed as or brought their own, as in the case of the Dalek. The following episode features interview with members of the 501st Legion, a representative of Big House Books, the coordinator of the Mississippi Metahumans, Carleigh Bedell of the Metro Whovians, Michael Turner of Wholeset, and members of the Spidey-Team. We also talk about meeting the creators of Tuskagee Heirs. Finally, we end the episode with highlights from our Doctor Who panel. Hosted by Clarence Brown and Kyle Jones.

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:

Unconditional Love: The Leisure Hive by Simon Hart
The Myth Makers by Donald Cotton by Miles Northcott

With an intermission 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

Matt and Kehaar take another turn off from the Legendary Creators series to speak to James Desborough, Game Designer of Dark and Controversial Games, to speak on his current project; bringing to life John Norman’s “Gor”. This series of novels inspires a number of  reactions across fandom, many of them unfavorable, but it also has its own cult (and as we discuss, Actual Cult) following. We also get into:

• Adapting properties with devoted followings
• Gor as a living, gameable world for its inhabitants
• Dark Fantasy vs The Real World
• “Butting heads” (James words!) over Gamergate

James website can be found at  https://postmortemstudios.wordpress.com/ and he can be seen and heard at https://www.youtube.com/user/PostmortemVideo

This June saw the massive E3 event take place in Los Angeles. Join Ant, Barry and Casey as the dust, announcements and trailers settle. The team look back at the event and pick out some of their highlight games - not all for good reasons!

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Season 10 (series, if you're English) has been a breath of fresh air, and Steven Moffat has been Moffat-ing it up. Peter Capaldi has fulfilled his promise as the Doctor, and yet it's been spoiled that his time is ending. I could keep listing things, but there’s only so much space. Ride along with us as Matt, Joseph and Gabe examine “World Enough and Time” from top to bottom.

For this week's WhoTube we have “Doctor Who Tribute – The Master of Disguise” from BabelColorApprentice – https://youtu.be/DgRW75oXyFQ

Hey there Who fans and welcome to Episode 148. Plenty of Doctor Who merch to go through after some light news then onto our review of World Enough and Time.

The News

Not much this week apart from some chat around ratings for The Eaters of Light.

Merch Corner

Dalek Tat has been busy this week and hands us a newly announce book in the Lethbridge-Stewart range, new t-shirts and hoody from Forbidden Planet(.com) and that Pop! Funko Rory/Centurion is now up for pre-order in the UK.

"World Enough and Time" Review

Holy moly there's a lot to go through with this one. Who goes dark with horror undertones in this Moffat story. Mondasian Cybermen, black holes, creepy patients and John Simm (as if you didn't know already!). Has The Moff redeemed himself and given us a story we know he can deliver or are we left in silence chanting "pain, pain, pain...".

Thank you for listening as always and giving us your thoughts. The next show will be about the series 10 finale (yes, it's here already!) so get those reviews in. Until then have a great week and remember - Allons-y!

Andy, Derek and Nic don disguises and hope to avoid conversion while they review this weeks chilling episode of Doctor Who. And let the speculation begin about the second part of the final and the Christmas Special

In this expanded episode, JC & Rita bring in the Oncoming Storm‘s Rachel Stewart and Dr. Geeks Lab’s Dr. Scott Viguie to explain to us what the heck just happened in Twin Peaks and Doctor Who.

Plus, we talk Han Solo, Spaceballs, Star Trek Discovery and more!

In which we have no regrets. But also, no egrets. :(

Holy hell, is this season almost done? No? Oh FFS. Whelp whatever. On this episode, we're talking about "World Enough and Time" which was boring until very suddenly it wasn't. Marvel as Danica explains the show we've all been watching for over a decade! Swoon as Brandon yells about how Stephen Moffat is terrible at gender politics! Or actually, they both do that. A lot. That guy is NO GOOD.

Outro music is "Monster Hospital" by Metric
