Latest Podcast Episodes

First off, in the most masturbatory way possible, we would like to wish ourselves HAPPY BIRTHDAY! It was five years ago from the release of this episode that we published our very first one, and our livers are begging us to stop.

But now for more serious business. This time we're joined by our friend Chris Spencer whom we had the pleasure of meeting at DFW Whofest last year (that was a year ago, wow!) to discuss most of the second half of Series Eight, from "Kill the Moon" to "In the Forest of the Night". (Yes, we know this is being released the day after "Dark Water" aired, but what do we look like, a real professional podcast that actually does things in a timely manner?) Also, by the way, we've died and gone to hell.

"Like" us on our increasingly popular Facebook page and email us stuff at tardistavern@gmail.com. You can also follow Sean on Twitter via @tardistavern and Steve via @tardistaverntit. But don't hold your breath waiting for us to say anything.

We first read Lawrence Miles' some time ago with Alien Bodies, then paid him a brief return visit with The Adventuress of Henrietta Street, and now we're going to crack open the two-book story that became a turning point for many readers of the Eighth Doctor series: Interference, Books One and Two.

To keep things simple, we're dedicating a single episode of the podcast to each book, so naturally this one will be about Interference: Book One. From the back cover:

Five years ago, Sam Jones was just a schoolgirl from Shoreditch. Of course, that was before she met up with the Doctor and discovered that her entire life had been stage-managed by a time-travelling voodoo cult. Funny how things turn out, isn't it?

Now Sam's back in her own time, fighting the good fight in a world of political treachery, international subterfuge and good old-fashioned depravity. But she's about to learn the first great truth of the universe: that however corrupt and amoral your own race may be, there's always someone in the galaxy who can make you look like a beginner.

Ms Jones has just become a minor player in a million-year-old power struggle...and, as it happens, so has the Doctor.

Both of him, actually.

The story features the Eighth Doctor, Sam, and Fitz, of course, but also brings back Sarah Jane Smith, 20 years old from when the Doctor dropped her off at the end of "The Hand of Fear". And, as the cover of the book promises, the Third Doctor will be making an appearance with his (younger) Sarah Jane Smith.

If all of this sounds a bit confusing, then buckle your seatbelts because, love it or hate it, Interference is one of the most polarizing stories in all of Doctor Who history. So sit back, open the hotel room wet bar, and listen in as we discuss Interference: Book One by Lawrence Miles!

The penultimate episode of Series 8 is upon us, with Cybermen, the afterlife, and Missy, who is revealed as….well, you should certainly watch “Dark Water” (penned by Steven Moffat and directed by Rachel Talalay) before listening to the Three Who Rule expound upon the contents therein, or risk a mega-spoiler of cataclysmic magnitude. Have you watched? Good. Then enjoy our banter on the excellent direction, subtle performances, and the sometimes….excited reaction of certain segments of fandom when a beloved character takes a a sharp right turn into a different form. Next week, the finale, "Death in Heaven", and news from Long Island Who!

In this week’s episode of Flight out of Gatwick, we discuss Season 4’s last three stories, The Macra Terror, The Faceless Ones and The Evil of the Daleks. Farewell, Ben and Polly. Hello, Victoria. Work hard and happily! (We know you will.)

Buy the stories!

Another season 4 podcast, another three incomplete stories. Sigh.

The surviving three episodes, The Faceless Ones 1 and 3 and The Evil of the Daleks 2, are all available in the Lost of Time box set. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

However all three stories exist as BBC audios, and can be bought on Audible.

The Macra Terror is, bizarrely, narrated by TV’s Colin Baker. (Audible US) (Audible UK). Even more bizarrely, a second version exists, narrated by the delightfully elfin Anneke Wills. (Audible US) (Audible UK)

The Faceless Ones is narrated by Frazer Hines. (Audible US) (Audible UK). And so is The Evil of the Daleks. (Audible US) (Audible UK).

The Macra Terror

The Goodies episode “Radio Goodies”, to which we all so hilariously refer, has its own Wikipedia entry. Amazing!

More weird 60s mind-control concerns arise in The Ipcress File (1965) (which is amazingly good).

The Faceless Ones

Benedict Cumberbatch stars in the BBC Radio sitcom Cabin Pressure, in which he plays the only pilot of the single-plane airline MJN Air.

So, it was the Refusians from The Ark who lost their identities in a galaxy accident. According to Meadows, the Chameleons lost their identities in “a gigantic explosion”. Which is much stupider, really.

The Evil of the Daleks

Before there was Upstairs, Downstairs, before there was Downton Abbey, we had The Forsyte Saga (1967). Does that account for Victoria Waterfield?

Deborah Watling had starred opposite George Baker (Full Circle) in Dennis Potter’s TV film Alice (1965), which looked at the strange and weirdly suspicious life of Alice in Wonderland’s author Charles Lutwitge Dodson.

Altered Vistas is a website which chronicles the history of Doctor Who in comic strips. They have created CG animated versions of all the TV Century 21 comic strips. Take a look at them here.

More weird 60s mind-control concerns arise in The Ipcress File (1965) (which is amazingly good).

The Faceless Ones

Benedict Cumberbatch stars in the BBC Radio sitcom Cabin Pressure, in which he plays the only pilot of the single-plane airline MJN Air.

So, it was the Refusians from The Ark who lost their identities in a galaxy accident. According to Meadows, the Chameleons lost their identities in "a gigantic explosion". Which is much stupider, really.

The Evil of the Daleks

Before there was Upstairs, Downstairs, before there was Downton Abbey, we had The Forsyte Saga (1967). Does that account for Victoria Waterfield?

Deborah Watling had starred opposite George Baker (Full Circle) in Dennis Potter's TV film Alice (1965), which looked at the strange and weirdly suspicious life of Alice in Wonderland's author Charles Lutwitge Dodson.

Altered Vistas is a website which chronicles the history of Doctor Who in comic strips. They have created CG animated versions of all the TV Century 21 comic strips. Take a look at them here.

Sometimes the BBC can't help but spoil the surprise. Sometimes the reveals aren't all that revealing. Sometimes you dismiss the obvious because it's too obvious. Sometimes it doesn't matter, because the episode is brilliant and even wickedly funny because there's no surprise.

It’s a full sized episode of Hoo On Who!  David and Marty travel back to England in 1215 to review the Peter Davison story, The King’s Demons.  The guys discuss DVD Extras and respond to listener feedback.  Also, Marty continues his High Speed Reviews of New Who series 8 with reviews of Kill The Moon, Mummy on the Orient Express, and Flatline.  David chat with Dave Marsh of GoPop.TV about their new commentary app.  Finally, at long last, Dr. Phill is back to review The King’s Demons as only he can!

In this week’s episode of Flight out of Gatwick, we discuss Season 4’s last three stories, The Macra Terror, The Faceless Ones and The Evil of the Daleks. Farewell, Ben and Polly. Hello, Victoria. Work hard and happily! (We know you will.)

Buy the stories!

Another season 4 podcast, another three incomplete stories. Sigh.

The surviving three episodes, The Faceless Ones 1 and 3 and The Evil of the Daleks 2, are all available in the Lost of Time box set. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

However all three stories exist as BBC audios, and can be bought on Audible.

The Macra Terror is, bizarrely, narrated by TV’s Colin Baker. (Audible US) (Audible UK). Even more bizarrely, a second version exists, narrated by the delightfully elfin Anneke Wills. (Audible US) (Audible UK)

The Faceless Ones is narrated by Frazer Hines. (Audible US) (Audible UK). And so is The Evil of the Daleks. (Audible US) (Audible UK).

People have been disappearing and there seems to be something draining energy from the TARDIS. Can the Doctor and Clara figure out what’s happening before it’s too late?

Join us as we discuss an episode that introduces a cool new monster in our review of “Flatline”!

The post #29 – Flatline appeared first on Who's On.

Just what we needed, an episode that features one of our “favorite” things, right up there with the production “style” of Steven “Moffat.” “In the Forest of the Night” starts off on the right foot with a William Blake reference, but then quickly becomes full of children, likely with sticky Jammie Dodger hands. There are also lots and lots of trees (at least four), but mostly nothing happens, so we end up speculating wildly about the next episode. Missy is the Rani? The Rani is the Master!? Clara is Handles!?! We’ve got to be right someday!

For Mogli‘s Fantastic Book Break, Dave brings us the obvious once again with Songs of Innocence and of Experience by William Blake. Check it out at Project Gutenberg!

For this week’s spooooky BooTube we have “Doctor Who – Can You Hear Them?” from user 2Scribble: http://youtu.be/-u9KcSKyMZw

Hey Who fans! The news gets us in both good and bad moods but then our review of In the Forest of the Night gets us even grumpier. It's not all bad though, let's do this!

The News

After we hyped up the re-opening of the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff last week BBC Worldwide go and cancel a load of Tardis set tours and put everyone on a downer, meh. The set tour is closed from 3rd - 23rd November and if you've already booked and it falls within those dates contact Crowd Source (or whoever you booked it through) and request a new date or a refund. Thank you to those who tweeted us their experiences so far and we hope you all get something sorted.

Silva Screen Records are releasing a 2-disc CD soundtrack of The Day of the Doctor and The Time of the Doctor to celebrate the show's 51st anniversary (yes, it's now 51 years, didn't the 50th celebrations go quickly?). Keep an eye on the Doctor Who Music site for pre-order details.

Doctor Who bags another award! This time the show has picked up a Welsh BAFTA (British Academy Cymru Award) for it's special effects. Excellent news and always a good thing when the show gets awarded for it's amazing talent behind the scenes.

"In the Forest of the Night" Review

This one brings us a bit deeper down I'm afraid, we really weren't fans of this episode and in our opinion this throws up the series' first true clunker. What could have been a very good episode based on an interesting story the entire episode was let down by poor writing, poor performances throughout and other poor elements such as visual effects and props. We wanted to like it, we really did but it just doesn't work.

Thanks for stepping into the Tardis for episode 16. We look forward to chatting all things Who next time. Until then - Allons-y!
