In this episode, Tom does not talk about Matt Smith or Steven Moffatt or Series Five or any of the amazing things that are going to happen tomorrow.

Instead, he goes ahead with the episode he was planning on doing two weeks ago, reviewing the Klein stories by Big Finish, and talking about recent mythological revelations on Lost. And at the end, some impromptu reviews of classic series episodes.

In this very late episode (sorry) the guys look at progs 1674-76 and discuss important topics such as vengeance fisting and whether it's wrong to fancy your sister.

As always expect spoilers and language not suitable for the kiddies

Following through on our fine tradition of having fellow podcasters bartend for us (tradition being, like twice so far), we are joined by Louis Trapani of Doctor Who: Podshock, who serves up a mean Long Island iced tea.

After generally meandering into the nerdery and the gushing that most fans exude when first meeting (thanks, Steve), we turn our double-sighted attention to "The Arc of Infinity," John Nathan-Turner's ubiquitous sequel to "The Three Doctors."

Will tempers flare amonngst the three of them as they disgaree on whether or not this is the best episode ever?  Are you happy to see me or is that an impulse laser in your hands?  And will Steve ever let Sean talk?  Find out now and download this little collector's item from the library of The TARDIS Tavern.

Sorry, Erik, no feedback this episode...but tune in next week for some very, very special feedback as we trip the light camptastic with "The Gunfighters."

What's that you say?  Did we get our facts wrong again?  Fuck!  Then let us know at tardistavern@gmail.com.  Also find us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.

Credit goes to sobermo (from whomix.trilete.net) for the Surfwho mix at the end of the show.

Ok folks, here's the podcast that was recorded at the book signing at Waterstones, Lakeside, Thurrock, on the 27/03/10.

Apart from a small podcast recorded by Adam Purcell from the Staggering Stories podcast, Luke Harrison from The Minute Doctor Who Podcast, Professor Dave from Professor Dave's Ark In Space and, well...Tony Gallichan from The Flashing Blade Podcast, there are interviews with various people including Paul Castle, author of The Shooty Dog Thing, Anneke Wills from Doctor Who and THE Colin Baker - all three also kindly give readings from their books. We also talk to attendees who valiantly queued... and put up with us, lol.

If your interested in purchasing a book then please pop to www.hirstbooks.com

Enjoy.

Series 5 is just around the corner, and Scott and Randy are so close they can almost taste it. In the meantime, we celebrate the fast approaching new series with our long promised mailbag episode. Then we discuss our expectations for the upcoming series in a spoiler free segment, followed by a speculative and spoiler heavy segment (we’ll warn you before the spoilers begin!). What role do we think River Song will play in series 5? Which of your hosts would make the better Doctor? Find out in the newest episode of The Doctor’s Companion!

Next Week: The Eleventh Hour!!

As discussed in the episode, Blink:

T minus 5 days until The Eleventh Hour.

Welcome to this, the 2nd Mostly Harmless Cutaway. Today Eric & Megan break down the newest, latest, and greatest Doctor Who series 5 trailers and clips. They discuss:

• The 3D / vortex cinematic trailer.
• The combined BBCA extended montage + The most recent Jonathan Ross trailer
• BBC News TARDIS crashed in the Garden clip.
• The Vampires in Venice clip.
• Opening moments of The Eleventh Hour clip.

[All of these trailers, clips, & more can be found here: http://guidetothewhoverse.tumblr.com/]

Thanks so much to Chip (@2minutetimelord) from the Two-minute Time Lord podcast for providing this episode's intro. We certainly feel his contribution adds a bit of gravitas to our humble program. Please follow the links and check out his awesome concentrated commentaries on the world of Doctor Who.

Also thanks to Radio Free Skaro for getting many of these recent series 5 clips & trailers up on their website in swift order. We really appreciate your efforts.

Disclaimer: Yes we realize that this still isn't you're beloved Hitchhiker's Guide to the Whoverse. Well, were you aware that series 5 of Doctor Who is imminent? We don't know about you, but we are super excited over here and we'd really like to talk about the new show, record our thoughts, and post them on our feed. We'd really love for all of you, our listeners, to hang around and give the new format a chance, but we understand if it's not your cup of tea. We are planning to do a ~15-20 minute MHC / Review / Discussion for each and every series 5 ep airing for approximately the next 14 weeks, hopefully to be released by that Monday following the UK/BBC airing. There are still remaining backlog HHG2W in addition to those we will continue to create so stay tuned, they will eventually appear on this feed. We hope all of you find our plans and endeavors worthwhile, this is going to be a very, very busy season for us to try and crank the podcasts out in a timely, current, and relevant matter. Please strap yourselves in, hold on tight, and whatever you do...
