Hey Who fans. Quiet week for news, a couple of bits of news then onto our review of Nightmare in Silver.

The News

We discuss the rumour that's blown up the last few days that Bradley Walsh could be the next companion.

Merch Corner

Dalek Tat brings us a few goodies this week; a collected 100 editions of the Australian fanzine Data Extract, a new Doctor Who Magazine Special Edition and two classic stories - The Daleks and Survival are getting their respective soundtracks released.

"Nightmare in Silver" Review

We've been putting this one off for ages but it's time to make a stand and crack on with reviewing this often beaten on 11th Doctor story. Is it a case of a re-watch giving us a different appreciation for it or does it remain as it's title suggests - a nightmare.

Thank you so much guys for listening giving us your reviews and audio clips. Next week it's back to the classics with the 2nd Doctor story The Enemy of the World. Have a great week and remember - Allons-y!

We recap our visit to the 2017 Golden Triangle Comic Con in Episode 67. We discuss Marvel vs. DC, Doctor Who, and mention our favourite moments from the con. We meet the awesome Dietrich O. Smith, talk with the guys from Powers Not Included and Jeremy London, and end the day by visiting with CandyGirl Cosplay. It's all about Discussing Comics in Episode 67 of Discussing Who. Hosted by Clarence Brown and Kyle Jones.

This is Bags of Action. The podcast devoted to action movies, both old and new, but all of them are awesome! In this episode Steve and Pete are joined by semi-regular co-host Barry Nugent from Geek Syndicate. This episode we are talking about the 1995 film Bad Boys starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. 22 years on from when the film came out, how does it hold up? This was in the early days of Michael Bay when he was on a high, but is it as good as we remember?

All I want you to know is that this is #mythirteenthdoctor.

This week Kiyan and Dylan watch the final little expanded universe thing they’re watching before they get to the reboot. In sticking with completely invented and made up traditions they watched Stephen Moffat’s first contribution to the show. It’s the Curse of Fatal Death, aired on the 12th of March, 1999.

Primitive aliens with no concept of technology or judicial proceedings want to join a galactic federation in this allegory of Britain's entry into the EEC

The post C061 The Curse of Peladon appeared first on Who Back When | A Doctor Who Podcast.

Remember the 1960s, when this podcast first began? We had such high ideals, and we enjoyed making people happy. Well, it's 2017 now, so welcome to our bitter, jaded and utterly mercenary take on The Greatest Show in the Galaxy.

The pebble drowning in his lake

Campaigning for our postal plebiscite has turned predictably nasty, but it's very important for everyone to have their say on this issue: which Colin Baker story should be the subject of our upcoming commentary podcast? Head over to the show notes for Episode 121 to cast your vote.

Buy the story!

The Greatest Show in the Galaxy was released on DVD in 2012. (That was easy.) (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Notes and links

Brendan's "surprise mirror" remark is totally incomprehensible unless you've seen this literal music video of Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart. Watch it now.

The first episode of Australian comedy series Outland featured a gay Doctor Who fan who briefly considered abandoning his date when he made a crack about Daleks being unable to climb the stairs.

In Richard Marsden's biography of John Nathan-Turner, it is revealed that JNT and his partner used to refer to hard-core fans as "barkers", and the attractive ones as "doable barkers".

Chris Chibnall will be taking the reins of Doctor Who any day now. Here he is on the BBC's Open Air programme in 1986, criticising The Trial of a Time Lord.

The Pakleds from the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode Samaritan Snare were intended to be a parody of Star Trek fans.

This sketch from A Bit of Fry and Laurie depicts Stephen Fry's reaction to increasing choice in the media landscape. Watch it all the way through -- there's a lovely surprise in there for fans of Doctor Who.

Richard identifies 7 Faces of Dr. Lao (1964) as one of the inspirations for this story. The eponymous Doctor is played by Tony Randall in some appalling yellowface. Check out the trailer here.

Picks of the week

Brendan

Take a deep breath. Brendan's first pick is Doctor Who on Holiday a remix by Dean Gray of The KLF's Doctorin' the TARDIS, featuring Green Day. It's good.

His second pick is The X-Men: The Animated Series Podcast, a podcast in which two American fans discuss, well, X-Men: The Animated Series.

Nathan

What you are about to hear is the story of a connection, a connection that was made between a television series and a viewer's life.

The You and Who books are the story of that connection, as told by the people who watch the programmes that make us come alive. Chiefly, of course, Doctor Who.

This podcast will relate some of the stories from those books... and beyond.

In this episode:

The Impossible Squidginess of Being: The Impossible Planet by Gareth Kearns

With an introduction featuring Rob Irwin talking to JR Southall.
