Hey Who fans, it’s episode 49! Some really cool news items to go through then it’s pirates and treasure for this week’s review.

The News

There’s been some initial buzz for Who fans since the reveal that Doctor Who is to feature in the upcoming LEGO Dimensions game. That news was trumped when this week a new video surfaced showing lots of Who gameplay, consisting of 12th Doctor malarky, Tardis interior (which looks awesome) plus a regeneration sequence showing all of the Doctor’s, right back to Hartnell, seemingly as playable characters. We can’t wait for this one.

We could be in for an episode with some cool Douglas Adams references in Series 9. Some pics have popped up showing some of the latest sets and one features three Tardis Blue coloured bottles with the words “Part 10″ but also the words “Answer to the question of life, the universe and everything in the galaxy.”, with some Gallifreyan behind them. There’s also references to 42, which we all know as the answer to the question of life, the universe and everything. These could be some cool setup’s for Series 9 or they could be just small hat tips to Douglas.

The official DW Instagram account has been putting up some very cryptic images of late. Blurry and out of focus shots with alien makeup being applied, haunted mansions, strange alien symbols and plenty of other stuff. They’re very good at teasing us right now.

“The Curse of the Black Spot” Review

We were looking forward to this one as hey, who doesn’t like pirates but do we get plenty of grrrr and sea shanty with this Matt Smith episode or is it a bit wet and damp?

This week’s trivia question

Last episode we asked you – Which floor on Satellite 5 was Medical Nonemergency? The answer is 16.

This week’s question is – When the Doctor first met Amy where did he say the swimming pool was? Give us your answer in the comments below or post it on Twitter or Facebook. Good luck!

Thanks me harty’s for sticking with us through episode 49 and thank you as always for your great comments, please keep them coming. Enjoy all the Who news still to come out of Comic Con and until next week – Allons-y!

Because the Fourth Doctor is awesome. Because we can't get enough of seeing Leela. Because stories involves witches and rubbery monsters in English mansions seem to call to us. It's our take on "Image of the Fendahl", in which the Doctor must fight an unspeakable horror from his home world. Or something like that.

This week we let Hayden loose again with the Diddly Dum microphone. This time he's chatting to fellow Doctor Who podcasters. Rob (Brave Heart) Irwin of the Who Wars Podcast tells of trying to please both Doctor Who and Star Wars fans. Steven (No Less) Schapansky of Radio Free Skaro recalls the day he was cured of stage fright. Toby (For it is he) Hadoke of the Who's Round podcast reveals his underhand use of Coronation Street to manipulate Russell T Davies into undertaking his mammoth and still not finished) interview. J R (Sorry you were out) Southall of the Blue Box Podcast asserts that our own Doc Whom struck lucky twice. Doc himself was fortunately not within reach of a microphone to dispute this claim. Along the way, we find out what constitutes a cool photo with Tom Baker, Hayden relates his meeting with Peter Capaldi and reveals which director sent him scurrying behind the sofa in fear when he was interviewed by hockey fans, and residents of EX postcodes discover why Doctor Who was responsible for their post being delivered late.

SHOWNOTES

Rob Irwin is the major domo not only of the Who Wars podcast but of the growing Who Wars network of podcasts.

Steven Schapansky is one of the Three Who Rule, the purveyors of Radio Free Skaro.

Toby Hadoke is the knight errant of the Who's Round podcast (hosted on the Big Finish podcast). His valiant quest to mark Doctor Who's 50th anniversary by interviewing enough people to obtain an anecdote for every story has been entertaining fandom for well over a year.

When it come to eminences grises of podcasts, they don't come much greyer than J R Southall of the Blue Box Podcast. J R is also the brains behind the Watching Books publishing arm.

The Diddly Dum Podcast acknowledges the copyright of anyone we've pinched anything from.

This week we let Hayden loose again with the Diddly Dum microphone. This time he’s chatting to fellow Doctor Who podcasters.
