In which the most abominable, darkest, nastiest, blackest, vilest, most repellant, disgusting and disgraceful podcasters return to chat about baddies.  Duh!

Technically we take a shifty at what makes for a good villain and how they've changed through the years, then we run amok trying to pin down all the different types and sub-types.

In reality of course, we ramble off topic, fudge our lines and make things about as difficult for an editor as you can hope to imagine.  It was all them, yer honour.  Honest...

Out of pure spite I've left a c-bomb in so you can all hear what a filthy brute Mattie is in real life.  For shame!

I could list out all the books and occasional films mentioned so you know what you're getting into, but where would be the fun in that?  Discover what weird and random directions our twisted talk takes us by downloading this episode and injecting us... into your brains!

You can send your outraged tweets to us @Scrollscast or @Dion_Scrolls

Alternatively you can send your splenetic e-mails to us at scrolls@hotmail.co.uk

or... simply assault us physically at the SFX Weekender on the first weekend of February.

If your rage is aimed solely at me (Dion) I can also be punched at the Cardiff International Comics Expo on 26th Feb.

26 days until Gally 22.

EXCERPT:

Gally news, casting details, and not-LEGO Doctor Who figures....all of which prefigured the cogent analysis and detailed examination of the (Doctor Who) career of one Peter Grimwade, one of the few polymaths to both write and direct for Doctor Who. With highlights such as Earthshock and lowlights like Time-Flight, Grimwade's output was grist for the mill of the Three Who Rule.

Episode 1 of 3

"Wind's in the east, mist comin' in Like something is brewin', about to begin. Can't put me finger on what lies in store, But I fear what's to happen all happened before..."

Frobisher's gone. The Computer vanished. Astra's been away forever. And even Destina wants nothing else but to return to Gallifrey, leaving the TARDIS forever, just like the rest of them. Everybody leaves, the Doctor says. And so does he.

But even though the Doctor seeks a quiet retirement in the cast of the West End production of Mary Poppins, the universe doesn't seem to let him escape. Who is the phantom voice plaguing the performers of London's Prince Edward Theatre? What do the evil, alien warlike Persecutors want at the theatre? And will Death finally reveal the reason he has followed the Doctor across the spectrum of space and time?

With an army of alien Persecutors on the doorstep, and a temporal rift opening just off centre stage, now more than ever does Earth need a Doctor. But time has run out - for him and for everyone - and soon he will find out exactly what it means to die on stage...

Tom and James look over the news from the world of Doctor Who, but find plenty of time for some divergence into other topics as well.

In the first issue of the newly-relaunched Doctor Who comic series from IDW, writer Tony Lee captures the Eleventh Doctor so meticulously you're tempted to credit Matt Smith for the acting job.

(Tony was last seen in these parts reviewing The Pandorica Opens and talking about comics in 2MTL 143.)

Perhaps the second (or maybe third...maybe even fourth) question new Who fans ask each other upon meeting after "What's your favorite Doctor?" is "Who's your favorite companion?"  From Susan Foreman to Amy Pond, each companion has influenced the program in his or her own little way.

In this very special edition of The TARDIS Tavern, we each cherry pick our favorite companions and discuss them (okay, Steve cherry picks them, Sean just sort of, well...you'll see).  Even after our favorites are out of the way, we talk about some of the best companions who we didn't mention and, of course, we can't help but bring up some of the companions whose donations to the show were less than spectacular.

Please send us feedback at tardistavern@gmail.com, join us on Facebook, and follow Sean on Twitter via @tardistavern.  Oh look...rocks!
