Happy New Year! It’s the beginning of 2023 so what better way to ring in the new year with two things recorded in 2022! First we have the Timelash, and then we bring you the adventures of PCap, Bill, and a bunch of wacky termite infested kids as they take on a haunted house, a weirdo landlord and more in our Modern Series Commentary for “Knock Knock”!

HAPPY NEW Year! Doctor Who's 60th anniversary year is upon us in 2023.

And to kick off the celebrations, we asked our listeners to share with us their favourite Eighth Doctor stories, on TV, audio, books, comics, etc.

This episode is dedicated to the memory of our friend Si Hodges, who kindly provided us with images to use in several season three episodes, including the Beyond the Vortex episodes, and creating us a special piece of art for The People's Temple episode. 

Happy New Year to all; we wish you a happy and healthy 2023.

My guest this week is the great Iain Martin (@broadanddeep), from oh so many great Doctor Who podcasts, including but not limited to We're All Stories in the End and All of Time and Space.

Iain proves a true challenge to the all-time "20 Questions" quiz title-holders.

While the TV version of "The Power of Kroll" doesn't win a lot of fans this week, the novelization was previously featured on Jason's Terrance Top Ten list in September 2019.

"Doctor Who and the Power of Kroll" features cover art by Andrew Skilleter.
Doctor Who Literature is now a member of the Direction Point Doctor Who podcast network.

From Amy’s imaginary friend to the Hero of Trenzalore, Matt Smith spent four years and more than a few centuries as the Doctor. So now that he’s gone, how do we think he did?

Thank you very much to the listeners who contributed their questions to this episode: DJ Alpha-T, Frazer Gregory and Nathan Bottomley.

Nathan claims to enjoy the idea that the Doctor is a somewhat problematic figure rather than just a traveller or a simple hero. Not everyone agrees, however. In this article in The Atlantic, Ted B Kissell complains that Matt Smith’s Doctor, is in many ways, a fairly terrible person.

As we said last week, Steven Moffat’s actual quote was that Matt Smith is like “Patrick Moore in the body of an underwear model”.

None of us seem to know anything about the ratings here, but The Day of the Doctor was apparently the highest rated drama for the year on the BBC, with 12.8 million viewers and an additional 3.2 million views on iPlayer. On BBC America, it had an audience of 2.8 million viewers, which was the highest rating ever received on the channel. (This, and more information about the special can be found on its TARDIS Fandom page.)

Nathan is on Twitter as @nathanbottomley, Todd is @ToddBeilby, and Richard is @RichardLStone. The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam. You can follow the podcast on Twitter at @FTEpodcast.

We’re also on Facebook, and you can check out our website at flightthroughentirety.com. Please consider rating or reviewing us on Apple Podcasts, or we’ll look ridiculously young and innocent while lying to you about keeping your most pressing personal information to ourselves.

You can find Jodie into Terror, our flashcast on the entirety of the Whittaker Era of Doctor Who, at jodieintoterror.com, at @JodieIntoTerror on Twitter, on Apple Podcasts, and wherever podcasts can be found. We’ll be back with a new flashcast on the second Russell T Davies era in November 2023.

Our James Bond commentary podcast is called Bondfinger, and you can find that at bondfinger.com, at @bondfingercast on Twitter, on Apple Podcasts, and everywhere else as well. In our most recent episode we watched a very silly film called Bullseye!, starring Roger Moore and Michael Cain.

We can also be heard on the Blakes 7 podcast Maximum Power, which is currently covering Series B of the show. In this week’s episode, Terry Nation makes a triumphant return to the show in Countdown.

And finally, there’s our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. This week, we watched an episode of the Star Trek cartoon Lower Decks called Mugato, Gumato, in which the crew of the USS Cerritos rescue some rightly unloved space animals from the Original Series who have been captured by Ferengi criminals.

Happy New Year's Eve!

Is there any value in fiction? Vicki doesn't think so. But as the TARDIS is invaded by a robot rabbit and Steven and Vicki become trapped outside, to what lengths must the Doctor go to find their happily ever after?

 The podcast returns to start looking at Season 10's stories, with plenty to discuss on the differences on the show and in the world in 1972 and 2022. We begin with the first multi-Doctor story, so here's multiple people to review and analyse it!

This week my new series re-watch reaches Doctor Who:The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood, the first appearance of the Silurians in modern Dr Who.

ProgNeg Theme originally compiled by H.B. Lockwood

Here's a compilation of some of the highlights of Something Who from 2022.

We had a range of great guests to join the regular team of Richard, Paul and Giles, including Gav Rymill, Tim Burrows, Ellie (Tardis Monkey), Gary Gillatt, Toby Hadoke and Anthony Lamb. And listen to our most recent episodes for a reunion with former co-host Simon. We chatted about pirates, isolated villages, singing, impersonators and returning to previous haunts. But mostly about Doctor Who.

Peruse our back catalogue for the full versions of all of these clips and, if you enjoy them, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or similar platform.

The opening music is Three Guitars Mood 2 and, yes, that is Richard playing the ukulele and kazoo on possibly the worst ever version of the Doctor Who theme tune at the end.

Our cover art was designed for us by Bea Garrido. She's a really talented artist, who you can find on Twitter using @BeaGarrido00, where, among other artworks, you can get hold of the prints of some remarkable paintings of characters from Doctor Who.

We are trapped in a time loop in an "elf" storage in Manchester this podcast and are back on New Years Day 2022 to discuss the holiday special, Eve of the Daleks. David likes how Chris Chibnall writes his Dalek specials, but wonders why Nick was written to be so creepy. The name "Nick" certainly must have been a production team joke. Ben wonders what it is like to be killed by a Dalek, repeatedly. And we ask what about the mysterious Jeff? All-in-all, the two find this to be a quite serviceable hour of Doctor Who and wish more of this era could have been more like this. Opening and closing music by Segun Akinola from the Eve of the Daleks soundtrack. We recorded this episode on 7 December 2022.

The holiday season is upon us, and we're in a giving mood! Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we take a page out of the Deeper Cuts holiday book and pick Doctor Who-related gifts for the world and for each other. These are mostly fanciful things that couldn't possibly happen, but they're a lot of fun nonetheless. It's clear that after 10 years podcasting together, we know what will delight our fellow Verities!

We also briefly touch on the announcement of Ncuti Gatwa's and Millie Gibson's new costumes, in which we all become sci-fi fashionistas. Do check out the video to see things up close!

What would you gift to the world as some holiday DW goodness? Drop us a tweet or let us know in the comments!

It's the second half of the original Something Who team chatting about a couple of stories set on giant spaceships: 5th Doctor story Four to Doomsday, from Season 19, and 11th Doctor caper Dinosaurs on a Spaceship from Series 7A. This episode largely features the latter story.

Please like or share our podcast with people who will enjoy it, so we can build our listener base high for happiness. You can rate us directly on Apple Podcasts or Podchaser.com

Head over to https://www.bigfinish.com/, where we all love Paul's stories.

Richard has another podcast with co-host Emily, called "If It's Hurting, It's not Working" and it's a fun and informative look at work - why we work, how we work, and what makes a great job. And also what makes a great workplace, how to turn things round when we're not enjoying our work and, in the end, how we can all make our work better.

Happy Holidays all and especially a Happy Boxing Day to those in Canada and the UK. And quite a sock to the jaw it was to see a Doctor Who 60th anniversary trailer on Xmas Day! Still nothing new with Ncuti Gatwa’s incarnation of the Doctor but we do have more of Tennant’s Who the 14th, Donna Noble, and most importantly, Beep The Meep! If that wasn’t enough, we’re joined by Kat Griffiths of Verity! and Erika Ensign of Verity!, Lazy Doctor Who, Total Party Kill and more for the first and only Doctor Who Holiday Death Match where we decide once and for all the all-time champion Xmas/New Year special! Get ready for fierce debate, divisive opinions and…maybe some boxing? Tune in and find out!

TDP 1132: The Box Of Delights 6 of 6 HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

And, incidentally, a happy Christmas, to all of you at home!

For this Yule themed (and 7th-day-of-Hanukkah themed) episode of Doctor Who Literature, we feature K-9 singing holiday classics.

There are two guest interviews this week. Delighted to have Michael Stevens, editor of the Target Audiobooks range, which featured a new novelization of this week's story, "The Androids of Tara".

And we have frequent Doctor Who Literature guest Pete Lambert (@Prof_Quiteamess) reading the Terrance Dicks adaptation of "Androids of Tara" for the first time!

Don't forget to listen to the Trap One discussion of the David Fisher novelization.

"Doctor Who and the Androids of Tara" features cover art by Andrew Skilleter.
Doctor Who Literature is now a member of the Direction Point Doctor Who podcast network.

Doctor, listen to me. You can’t die, you’re too — you’re too nice, too brave, too kind and far, far too silly. You’re like Father Christmas, the Wizard of Oz, Scooby Doo. And I love you very much. And we all need you, and you simply cannot die.

While Clara undergoes a gruelling Christmas lunch with her family, on Trenzalore, in a town called Christmas, the Doctor is doing what he has always done — protecting, defending and being far, far too silly. Goodbye, Matt Smith — it’s The Time of the Doctor.

The Doctor’s longest running companion, faithful Cyberhead Handles, is voiced by Kayvan Novak, an English comedian who plays ancient vampire Nandor the Relentless in What We Do in the Shadows. Worth a watch.

Even before the fiftieth anniversary, it was widely reported that Matt Smith would be wearing a wig in his final episode as the Doctor. Here’s an article from September 2013 on Digital Spy.

Steven Moffat’s exact quote was that Matt Smith is like “Patrick Moore in the body of an underwear model”.

And finally, it’s Matt Smith’s Doctor who tells Clyde Langer that Time Lords can regenerate 507 times in the Sarah Jane Adventures story Death of the Doctor.

Nathan is on Twitter as @nathanbottomley, Todd is @ToddBeilby, and James is @ohjamessellwood. The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam. You can follow the podcast on Twitter at @FTEpodcast.

We’re also on Facebook, and you can check out our website at flightthroughentirety.com. Please consider rating or reviewing us on Apple Podcasts, or we’ll turn up naked at your next Christmas lunch and distract your grandma while she’s pouring the custard.

You can find Jodie into Terror, our flashcast on the Whittaker Era of Doctor Who, at jodieintoterror.com, at @JodieIntoTerror on Twitter, on Apple Podcasts, and wherever podcasts can be found. We’ll be back with a new flashcast on the second Russell T Davies era in November 2023.

Our James Bond commentary podcast is called Bondfinger, and you can find that at bondfinger.com, at @bondfingercast on Twitter, on Apple Podcasts, and everywhere else as well.

We can also be heard on the Blakes 7 podcast Maximum Power, which is currently covering Series B of the show. In this week’s episode, we find ourselves staring lovingly into the eyes of our cousins in Hostage.

And finally, there’s our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. This week, we tackle Star Trek’s only Christmas movie ever, Star Trek: Generations.

When PRIMARY SOURCES ended, earlier in 2022, a promise was made that it would come back 'from time to time' as a series of specials. Today, Rob makes good on that promise, with the PRIMARY SOURCES CHRISTMAS SPECIAL 2022.

Featuring input from Anthony Carroll (squared), Chris March, Richard Smith, Terry Hayward, Jeremy Bonwick, and Neilers C, a team of Doctor Who fans weigh in on a letter to Doctor Who Magazine #238 from May, 1996 on the topic of...

SEX!

Yes, hanky panky, coitus, relations, lovemaking... whatever you want to call it. Does it ruin Doctor Who? Fans certainly thought so with the TV movie hurtling at them back in 1996. Have our attitudes changed, or is it still a bit... icky?

Wishing you all the compliments of the season, and we'll be back in the new year to do it all again.

In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast....

The News

Phil and Scott discuss the Doctor Who news that they have missed over the last few weeks, in which Disney has the streaming rights for Doctor Who and how Britbox has the opposite and the new costume for Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor is revealed.

Phil & Scott's Favourite Christmas Specials

For this years Christmas podcast, Phil and Scott select their favourite Doctor Who Christmas Special. After much mulling over and research (yeah, right!) Scott goes for The Christmas Invasion from 2005 and forgets to put his teeth in and Phil selects the 2012 Christmas special The Snowmen and discusses why the Victorian era Clara Oswald would have made a better companion than modern era Clara!

We would like to wish all of our listeners a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

The festive season is upon us so David and Matt are here to review the appropriately festive Big Finish story 'The Chimes Of Midnight'

Doctor Who theme by Ron Grainer, arranged by Alexander Erben.

Talk to us! Email: timenorspacepod@gmail.com

Twitter: @timenorspacepod

"CHRISTMAS wouldn't be Christmas without my plum pudding!"

So Mrs Baddeley tells us throughout The Chimes of Midnight, and now, for many Doctor Who / Big Finish fans, Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without The Chimes of Midnight.

This Christmas Eve, we're joined by our friends all over the world, as we celebrate the story regarded by many as the greatest Doctor Who audio story, if not the greatest Doctor Who story of all, in Robert Shearman's tale from 2002. 

Over 40 minutes of bonus audio edited out from the last episode for you to listen to during your holiday commute or while escaping from your racist uncle (everyone’s got one). We spend the first 10 minutes of this talking about death, so skip ahead if you’re squeamish. Topics also include our podcast curse, JB’s YouTube channel, the new Wednesday Addams Netflix series and Prime’s “The Peripheral”, Baby Dalek, what if Graham Crowden was cast as the Fourth Doctor, the modern series is not a reboot, why Paul McGann couldn’t be the War Doctor, and “The Ballad of Din Djarin”. Happy Holidays!

This holiday season, Radio Free Skaro is presenting a Fluid Links Advent Calendar! Every day from December 1 until December 24, we’ll discuss one topic from our list provided by you, the listeners. Today: Day 23.

This week my new series re-watch reaches Doctor Who: Amy’s Choice, bit of a modern classic featuring a memorable guest appearance by Toby Jones as The Dream Lord.

IT'S CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISTMAS! We're continuing our countdown to the festive season with the Eighth Doctor, as we take a look at one of his Christmas specials.

We're looking at Better Watch Out and Fairytale of Salzburg, from Ravenous 2, as the Krampus rises and nothing stands in its way as it looks to destroy the world... only once man can stop him, and it's not the man you were expecting...

Writer John Dorney joins us for a natter, as does Robert Whitelock, who plays the Krampus and a host of other parts in this adventure. Benji Clifford tells us about how he sound designed the story, and composer Jamie Robertson talks us through his creative process, in a bumper episode.

Hello and welcome to our Christmas edition and its a bumper bonus episode full of fun and Waffles. On this episode Meds and Kell chat away about two of their favourite comedians (and light entertainers) Vic and Bob. They hit our screens back in the late 80's and our two Wafflers were in sixth form at school at the time (and nothing seems to have changed in their childish minds) so it left a lasting impression. 

Along with the main topic of chat the lads talk about the new Avatar film, some recent movie news and they read an email from our resident man in the asylum Rob K. 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all. 

Jim and Martin spring a festive surprise with some new Krynoid PodCast material!

They scan the snowless Snowdonian slopes for monstrous myths and find the Doctor giving an old friend a bell, Victoria repeating herself and Jamie threatening everyone with a bagpipe recital.

But did The Abominable Snowmen thaw their cockles or give them the cold shoulder. Listen to find out!
