Latest Podcast Episodes

Ein blindes Huhn findet bekanntlich auch mal ein Korn. Aber was findet eine blinde Schauspielerin? Offensichtlich eine Rolle in Doctor Who Staffel 11. Aber findet sie auch eine wirklich gute Story? Offensichtlich nicht. Und wie die drei blinden Mäuse, haben sich heute drei tapfere Podcaster zusammengefunden, um eine Frau zu jagen. Allerdings nicht die Frau des Farmers, sondern die gute Frau Doktor, deren bemerkenswerteste Taten in dieser Folge darin bestehen, Omas Kindermärchen zu zitieren und ein paar Hände voller Dreck zu fressen. Darauf ein Sandwich! Und weil die meisten Whocaster schon ahnten, was ihnen droht, und das Weite gesucht haben, stürzen sich ausnahmsweise neben Raphael, Juliane und Tim – zwei Kollegen von Frell, dem deutschen Farscape-Podcast – auf diesen Blindgänger und fragen sich, warum das Jugendamt oder ein fähiger Autor hier nicht schon längst eingegriffen haben. Die Kröte werden wir in diesen Shownotes gar nicht erst erwähnen.

This week Phil and Paul continue with their retrospective of series 3 with a look back at Gridlock.  What will they make of this story after all this time and do they think it's a rollicking good adventure or a big disappointment?  In making their minds up, they get into a bit of a disagreement over Martha Jones character and Paul spoils an otherwise lighthearted piece of banter concerning corpse disposal.

And in the news this week, there is plenty of update on the Mark Gatiss drama An Adventure in Space and Time, news of series 8 straight from the mouth of Steven Moffatt and in Omega's Tat Corner, Paul's lonely existence is called into question with his methods of seduction.

 

On the thirty-sixth episode of Reality Bomb, we've given over the whole episode to a special documentary that looks back on the special programs on Doctor Who made by Eric Luskin and New Jersey Network for PBS in the 1980s. We listen in on some of the best moments of these documentaries, talk to fans including Chris Hankenson, Drew Walco, Felicity Kuzinitz, Steven Schapansky and Warren Frey about what those programs meant to them and what it was like to live in a world of PBS pledge drives. And we talk to Eric Luskin himself about what it was like to go behind the scenes on Doctor Who in the 1980s and interview some of the most important people from that period.

SPECIAL NOTE: Reality Bomb will be doing a live show in New York on Saturday, September 17 at the Way Station in Brooklyn. Details are on our Facebook page.

"Then die. That is the purpose of guards."

It seems that the life of a vampire's chief henchman is no better than that of an Alzarian milkmaid. No wonder he turned to drink.

This is 1980's State of Decay, eliciting the cheesiest ever episode of this podcast from The Two Who Fool (About).

In a land where rubber bats wheel in an unrealistic green sky, the Doctor stops a door with his nose while Romana prefers to play undead rather than talk to Adric (who walks like he has a second badge for Mathematical Excellence secreted up his fundament).

For a feudal society, there's no shortage of fashion statements. The bloodthirsty local gentry model a nice line in goth cosmetics while their agricultural underlings wear miniskirts, string toupees and beards cannibalised from a busted sofa.

Underneath it all, an enormous Nosferatu makes a breakthrough and gets a big hand.

So do Jim and Martin think this story is a Great One or big Wasting of time.

Listen to find out.

A brand new boxset of four adventures, featuring monsters from the new series of Doctor Who! 1.1 Fallen Angels by Phil Mulryne 2015: When sightseers Joel and Gabby Finch encounter a strange man in Edwardian cricketing garb in the Sistine Chapel, their honeymoon suddenly takes a terrifying turn. 1511: Michelangelo is commissioned to create some very special sculptures by a mysterious sect. But as he carves, angels seem to emerge fully-formed from the rock. Almost as if they are alive... From Michelangelo's workshop to the catacombs of Rome, the Fifth Doctor must keep his wits about him and his eyes wide open as he confronts the Weeping Angels. 1.2 Judoon in Chains by Simon Barnard and Paul Morris The Sixth Doctor is no stranger to courtroom drama, but faces a very different challenge when he prepares to defend a most unusual Judoon. After an environmental clearance mission goes wrong, Captain Kybo of the Nineteenth Judoon Interplantary Force is stranded in Victorian England, bound in chains, an exhibit in a circus show. But he has allies: Eliza Jenkins - known to audiences as 'Thomasina Thumb' - and the larger-than-life 'clown' in the colourful coat. Uncovering a trail of injustice and corruption, the Doctor and Kybo soon find themselves on trial for their lives... 1.3 Harvest of the Sycorax by James Goss In the far future, humanity has a remedy for everything. Whatever the problem, Pharma Corps has the answer and a designer disease tailored to every human's blood-type. Zanzibar Hashtag has no need to be sad, scared, stressed, or depressed ever again. That is, until vicious aliens arrive on her space station intent on opening its Vault. What will it mean for the human race if the Sycorax take control of what's inside? And when the Seventh Doctor arrives on the scene, can he convince Zanzibar to care about her life long enough to help him? 1.4 The Sontaran Ordeal by Andrew Smith An instant of the Time War brings centuries of conflict to the planet Drakkis, and the Eighth Doctor is there to witness the terrible results. A Sontaran fleet, desperate to join the epic conflict, follows in its wake to take advantage of the fallout. But when Commander Jask is beamed down to the ravaged surface, there is more to his arrival than first appears. Soon, an unlikely champion joins forces with the Time Lord to fight for the future of her world, and together they must face the Sontaran Ordeal...

This week, the Wanderers join the Doctor and Martha for a trip to New New York in the year 5 billion and 53.

From Michelangelo's workshop to the catacombs of Rome, the Fifth Doctor must keep his wits about him and his eyes wide open as he confronts the Weeping Angels. 1.2 Judoon in Chains by Simon Barnard and Paul Morris The Sixth Doctor is no stranger to courtroom drama, but faces a very different challenge when he prepares to defend a most unusual Judoon. After an environmental clearance mission goes wrong, Captain Kybo of the Nineteenth Judoon Interplantary Force is stranded in Victorian England, bound in chains, an exhibit in a circus show. But he has allies: Eliza Jenkins - known to audiences as 'Thomasina Thumb' - and the larger-than-life 'clown' in the colourful coat. Uncovering a trail of injustice and corruption, the Doctor and Kybo soon find themselves on trial for their lives... 1.3 Harvest of the Sycorax by James Goss In the far future, humanity has a remedy for everything. Whatever the problem, Pharma Corps has the answer and a designer disease tailored to every human's blood-type. Zanzibar Hashtag has no need to be sad, scared, stressed, or depressed ever again. That is, until vicious aliens arrive on her space station intent on opening its Vault. What will it mean for the human race if the Sycorax take control of what's inside? And when the Seventh Doctor arrives on the scene, can he convince Zanzibar to care about her life long enough to help him? 1.4 The Sontaran Ordeal by Andrew Smith An instant of the Time War brings centuries of conflict to the planet Drakkis, and the Eighth Doctor is there to witness the terrible results. A Sontaran fleet, desperate to join the epic conflict, follows in its wake to take advantage of the fallout. But when Commander Jask is beamed down to the ravaged surface, there is more to his arrival than first appears. Soon, an unlikely champion joins forces with the Time Lord to fight for the future of her world, and together they must face the Sontaran Ordeal...

They're back!!  After disappearing from the airwaves while Phil became a Father, Phil & Paul return with a look at the lates of the Destiny of The Doctor audio stories Shadow of Death.  Would they think this was an improvement on the last Destiny of The Doctor story or would it be another disappointment in this 50th Anniversary series?  Mind you, they're only doing this as they're not at Gallifrey One like everyone else!!

And in the news this week, the Ice Warriors make their return in series 7, the 50th Anniversary story will be in 3D, loads of updates on the BFI Doctor Who screenings and a brief sojourn is made to Omega's Tat Corner.

Now how's that for an alternative to the greatest Doctor Who convention on the planet?
