Latest Podcast Episodes

Far beyond wishing everyone at home a Merry Christmas, Toby Whithouse's "Before the Flood" opens with the show's most Fourth Wall-breaking moment yet, revealing once again how subversive the Moffat Era really is.

Pamela Salem is a goddess and The Robots of Death is just brilliant. Is there anything more to say here?

Buy the story!

The Robots of Death was the first proper Doctor Who DVD release way back in 2000/2001. Does that make you feel old? The Special Edition was released in 2012 as part of the Revisitations 3 box set in Australia and the UK, and individually in the US. (Amazon US) (Amazon UK)

Notes and links

Sapphire and Steel was an amazingly weird and almost unwatchably slow ITV series starring time agents Joanna Lumley and David McCallum as Sapphire and Steel respectively. David Collings, who played Poul in this story, occasionally guested as Silver.

Well, these are Doctor Who’s Blake’s 7 years, so here goes. Chris Boucher, who wrote this story, was the script editor of Blake’s 7, and went on to write lots of fabulously bitchy dialog over Blake’s 7’s four seasons. Borg is played by Brian Croucher, who played Travis in Blake’s 7 Season 2, and Miles Fothergill, who played camp newsreader robot SV7, played some guy in the Blake’s 7 episode The Web.

Fans of doing your hair and makeup in preparation for your big villain moment will enjoy Cancer in the Blake’s 7 Season 4 episode Assassin.

Fans of the worst atrocities in human history will enjoy this amazing video of Wonder Woman riding a skateboard.

Before you start wondering, Cheryl had a family thing to attend and won't be able to watch or record until tomorrow (Sunday the 11th). Since we didn't want you to have to go so long without something to listen to right after this week's Doctor Who airs, Daisy decided to give you her first impressions of Before the Flood straight away and then join Cheryl for a proper review after she sees it tomorrow. That's 2...2...TWO for the price of one!

In Minisode 3: I’m Okay With Pseudoscience, the guys debate the merits of Under The Lake by Toby Whithouse. Listen as they discuss bases under siege, cabins in the woods, the metaphysical implications of alien ghosts, Kelvin’s traumatic Kill The Moon flashbacks and much more!

What did you think of Under The Lake? Let us know in the comments below or start a conversation on our Facebook page.

Rainbows, unicorns, sonic screwdrivers! Folks, it looks like the stars have aligned and we have a great episode to discuss this week in "Under the Lake." Except somebody (Joseph) thinks it should be called anything else. Literally. We don't want to sound like fan boys, but that Toby Whithouse chap is pretty good. Could he be the new Moffat? Embrace the heresy!

Here is our fearless leader talking out of his arse about the sonic sunglasses: http://www.youtube.com/watch?t=1&v=jrw_2Jp_72Q

Alan, Martin, Andy and Derek peer out from behind the sofa to talk about the scariest Doctor Who episode in a while, so scary they can’t remember the name! And there is lots of news this time!

Eddie and Derek bring you the first episode of the spin off Podcast series ‘Reel to Reel’. This episode looks at the upcoming super hereo movies hitting theaters in the next 12 months.

Hey Who fans! We’ve got some very interesting news items to go through this week and then onto our review of the creepy Under the Lake.

The News

This week we discuss…

A new spin-off showing coming our way in 2016 called Class.

The new LEGO set will be released on 1st December in the UK prices PS49.99, just in time for Christmas.

The details have now been revealed by the BBC for the upcoming The Underwater Menace DVD. Two full episodes, two recons and an hours worth of special features.

John Hurt is returning to his role as The War Doctor for 12 full audio plays from Big Finish. Also, Paul McGann will reprise his role as The Doctor for a future release, the prequel story The Time War. Loads of good stuff from Big Finish as always.

“Under the Lake” Review

An unhappy Tardis, strange writing, ghosts and cool cliffhangers. With Capaldi now truly hitting his stride as The Doctor so we rate this one highly or does it leave us feeling wet and cold?

This week’s trivia question

Last week we asked you – What is the first story to mention that the Doctor has two hearts? The answer is – Spearhead from Space.

This week’s question is – Tom Baker wanted a talking version of which vegetable as a companion? Give us your answer in the comments below or post it on Twitter or Facebook. Good luck!

Thank you for joining us for episode 59 and thanks for sending in your thoughts and reviews. If you fancy leaving us a review in iTunes that would be fantastic! Until next week – Allons-y!

AH-CHOO! Sorry, Sorry, the weather is starting to change here at Oncoming Storm HQ and that means one thing: It's time for everyone to get sick again. Josh, Ashley, and Rachel are the lucky ones. They're still about to talk. Poor Jeff however... the less said the better. But the hosts who are able to make it prop themselves up on Codine and prepare to talk about what they've listened to in September. First up is Unregenerate! by David A. McIntee. Does this story of an insane 7th Doctor being busted out of a peculiar mental hospital deserve the exclamation point? Then it's time for The Council of Nicaea by Caroline Symcox, as Erimem asked the age old question of the Doctor,'Why can't I change the past?'. Wrapping our coverage is our first review of a Big Finish Tom Baker story! It's The Romance of Crime by Gareth Roberts, adapted by John Dorney. Find out how well this adapts the novel and if Tom and Lalla can recapture that old magic! All this and news that will have have you saying, "Yes, More!". The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got a nitpicky Josh, a high Ashley, and a Rachel that doesn't like Douglas Adams?!? Say it ain't so!

In which Brandon and Danica are running on two (?) hours of sleep and then get drunk. Because... yeah. Yes.

Series 9 keeps rolling on, and we're keeping up... mostly. It was a weekend of store events (including a 24 hour event) but there's always time to get crunk and watch The Doctor pal around on a base. Nothing EVER goes wrong on bases, you guys. NOTHING.

Marvel as they don't actually pass out. Tremble as we... as we actually really, really like Series 9. Because SERIES 9, you guys. So good.

Outro music is "All About The Bass" as interpreted by Scott Bradlee & The Postmodern Jukebox.

This week Phil and Paul review Under The Lake, the 3rd episode of series 9 of Doctor Who. And once again the planets have aligned as they both agree on this episode! But was it a return to classic stories of old and did the ensemble cast really gel? Do ghosts exist? Well, they don't answer that question but rest assured they get stuck right into this story and come out the other side with their heads held high reading listener feedback!

And in the news, a new Doctor Who spin off show was announced that caught everyone off guard, John Hurt reprises his role as the War Doctor for Big Finish which REALLY caught everyone off guard and once again Phil and Paul get an attack of stats!
