The News

We have our first little nugget of information for Series 9 next year The Magician's Apprentice. We have nothing else to go on as yet but the title alone sounds quite cool.

The Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff is to advertise at cinemas and TV. To promote the new Peter Capaldi element of the experience viewers will get a brief look at what's in-store. There's also props from the upcoming Last Christmas on display too.

Our Top 3 Favourite Who Things of 2014

To finish off the year we thought we'd give you our 3 top favourite things from Doctor Who. We went very general with this one and picked 3 things from any area. Let us know your top 3 things.

"The Christmas Invasion" Retrospective Review

This episode's retro-review takes a look at the first Doctor Who Christmas Special since 2005 with David Tennant's first full episode as The Doctor. The Christmas Special's are not considered the best episodes among Who fans so does this one leave us with that warm, fuzzy yuletide feeling or does it crash and burn like a soggy Christmas pudding?

Thanks for flying in the Tardis with us for episode 22. This is our last podcast before Christmas so from both myself and Adam, we hope you have a wonderful Who Christmas and thank you so much for your support and kind words. Have a good one and... Allons-y!!!

This week John, Ernesto, and Taylor join forces to talk about the Tenth Doctor adventure "Blink"! This is said to be one of the scariest and most popular Doctor Who episodes of all time! Does the trio agree with this?

They also talk about their impressions of Martha Jones as a character in general, how other incarnations of the Doctor would fair in this episode, and if the lack of the Doctor hurt this episode. Also: Who do they think the Weeping Angels could actually be? All this and much more!

The year is almost over, but there's still time to finish out our year of villains in style! Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we talk about the times when the TARDIS has crossed over to the dark side--or seemed to. Or at least acted a little tetchy. Okay, so we realize "villain" is a bit of a strong word, but there were certainly times the TARDIS was antagonistic. And we cover a lot of examples! Here's a list of (I think) all the stories we talk about in this ep:

• The Edge of Destruction
• The Daleks' Master Plan
• The Mind Robber
• Logopolis
• Castrovalva
• Frontios
• The TV Movie
• Boom Town
• The Lodger
• The Doctor's Wife
• Let's Kill Hitler
• Hide
• Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS
• Big Finish:
  • The Settling
  • Zagreus

What other examples can you think of? Let us know in the comments. And let us know what you think of the TARDIS as a "baddie"!

^E

Also covered [links on our site]:

• Tansy revels in a glut of Doctor Who Christmas ornaments, including a (missing) TARDIS!
• Erika
  • enjoyed the heck out of Chicago TARDIS!
  • wishful-thinks Phil Ford might be the next Doctor Who showrunner!
• Lynne has action figures:
  • a Mechanoid (which doesn't light cigarettes)!
  • a "Silver Nemesis"-Ace WITH THE PORTRAIT!
• Deb
  • gives big kudos to Doctor Who: Legacy for including characters from the comics in their advent calendar!
  • excitedly awaits Doctor Who novel re-releases, including Paul Cornell's Human Nature!

Plus, nome news of the week, including a very special con announcement of a guest coming very near to us.

And, of course, your feedback.

Enjoy!

"This game of hide and seek through time is wearing a little thin now."

We couldn't have put it better ourselves, Chesterfield.

Yes, it's the 1965 Dalek story The Chase we're talking about - a tale of bagpipe creatures, a highly annoying hayseed, living vegetation (gasp!), under-utilised plungers and a space pilot with a panda fetish.

The Doctor encounters a robot look-unlike, Ian 'dad dances', Babs plays cowboys and Indians and Vicki laughs like a loon.

The Daleks are no more impressive, hoisting their skirts and staggering through the six episodes in a quagmire of coughing, nonsensical chanting and painfully slow mental arithmetic.

Jim and Martin search for some meaning to it all but do they find it?

Listen here to find out.

We’ve put the end of Series 8 and our 100th episode in our metaphorical rearview mirror, and we’re barreling toward “Last Christmas” and Series 9! Or, slowly starting to ramp up speculation, at any rate. So let us take you on a short ride, but it is sure to be elemental and iconic!

This week’s WhoTube is not a WhoTube at all. It is a VortexVimeo called “Doctor Express” made by our very own Matt! http://vimeo.com/34108234
