Latest Podcast Episodes

It took us 30 episodes, but we finally got around to it: this month we present our discussion of possibility the most iconic novel in the Virgin New Adventures, Lungbarrow by Marc Platt.  You may fondly recall when we reviewed Platt’s Cat’s Cradle: Time’s Crucible back in Episode 10.  Platt also wrote “Ghost Light” as well as a number of stories in the Big Finish range.  Needless to say, despite the limited amount of stories he’s contributed to the Doctor Who canon, his work is influential if not controversial.  From the back cover of Lungbarrow:

‘Nonsense, child,’ retorted the Doctor.  ‘Grandfather indeed!  I’ve never seen you before in my life!’

All is not well on Gallifrey.  Chris Cwej is having someone else’s nightmares.  Ace is talking to herself.  So is K-9.  Leela has stumbled on a murderous family conspiracy.  And the beleaguered Lord President, Romanadvoratrelundar, foresees one of the most tumultuous events in her plant’s history.

At the root of all is an ancient and terrible place, the House of Lungbarrow in the southern mountains of Gallifrey.  Something momentous is happening there.  But the House has inexplicably gone missing.

673 years ago the Doctor left his family in that forgotten House.  Abandoned, disgraced and resentful, they have waited.  And now he’s home at last.

In this, the seventh Doctor’s final New Adventure, he faces a threat that could uncover the greatest secret of them all.

Pour yourself a nice tall glass of Gallifreyan ale and sit back and enjoy as we try to pick apart Marc Platt’s Lungbarrow!

This week, Phil and Paul cast their eye over Evolution of The Daleks in their ongoing retrospective of series 3 and it's business as usual!  Pointless Pigmen, bad American accents and probably the most convoluted and stupid plot to take over the universe the Daleks ever came up with!!  Perhaps now you'll realise just how much Phil and Paul suffer to keep you entertained!

And in the news this week, the director for the Christmas special is revealed, some exciting Big Finish and Philip Hinchcliffe news and in Omega's Tat Corner a rather expensive way to change the channel on your TV.

Prisoners of Fate gets a look see.

And in the end... It's in the frakin' walls!

Prisoners of Fate gets a look see.

And in the end... It's in the frakin' walls!

The penultimate month of 2012 (because we love any chance to use the word "penultimate") brings us City of the Dead by Lloyd Rose, an Eighth Doctor BBC Books novel. This was Rose's first novel, before which she wrote for Homicide: Life on the Street. After the success of City of the Dead, she was asked to return for the Eighth Doctor series with Camera Obscura and for the Algebra of Ice, featuring the Seventh Doctor, Ace, and the Brigadier.

From the back cover:

'Nothing can get into the TARDIS,' the Doctor whispered. Then he realized that Nothing had.

New Orleans, the early 21^st century. A dealer in morbid artefacts has been murdered. A charm carved from human bone is missing. An old plantation, miles from any water, has been destroyed by a tidal wave.

Anji goes dancing. Fitz goes grave-robbing. The Doctor attracts the interest of a homicide detective and the enmity of a would-be magician. He wants to find out the secret of the redneck thief and his blind wife. He'd like to help the crippled curator of a museum of magic. He's trying to refuse politely the request of a crazy young artist that he pose naked with the man's wife.

Most of all, he needs to figure out what all of them have to do with the Void that is hunting him down.

Before it catches him.

Voodoo, hoodoo, and mystery abound in this month's selection, which is bound to go down a lot easier than last month's. Be sure to grab a (cheap) copy and sit back and relax as we discuss The City of the Dead.

Whether it is thirty seconds playing on a jukebox as background ambience, or a wild megalomaniacal sing-along belted out before taking over the world, popular music has been a part of Doctor Who since the emerging days of the Beatles. Now, with musical artists actually appearing and performing on screen in DW episodes, it appears as though we may have turned a corner. This week, we take a look at the inclusion of popular music in Doctor Who to date, and ask if there […]
