Brendan, Nathan and Todd return to space after a two-year absence in our last episode on Jon Pertwee's second season. It's time to don a hippie frock and visit Colony in Space, and then take a relaxing two-week holiday on location at a sleepy country village beset by The Daemons!

Buy the stories!

Colony in Space was released on DVD in 2011. (Amazon US)
(Amazon UK)

The Daemons was released on DVD in 2012. (Amazon US)
(Amazon UK)

(That was dull. Sorry.)

Colony in Space

The Good Life stars The Chief Caretaker and Lady Clemency Eddison as lovable middle-class eccentrics who decide, much like this story's colonists, to opt out of the capitalist rat-race and live self-sufficiently. You can find Vyvyan's take on the programme here.

Hornets' Nest is a five-story audio drama series starring Tom Baker, Richard Franklin as Mike Yates and Captain Dent's almost-henchwoman Susan Jameson as Mrs Wibbsey. You can watch the official trailer for the series here.

The Daemons

Fans of weirdly incorrectly used Latin pronouns will enjoy this dictionary entry for the word qui quae quod. Doctor Which?

Fans of sleepy English villages with a dark secret will enjoy the 1967 novel [Ritual](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ritual_(Pinner_novel])) and its film adaptation The Wicker Man (1973), as well as the 1967 novel The Owl Service and its 1969 ITV adaptation. Fans of things that are fabulous will enjoy [watching the entire Avengers episode Murdersville for free online somehow](http://www.zimbio.com/watch/YYnqL0CgoKR/Murdersville/The+Avengers+(1961)).

Fans of crackpot theories about human mythology being inspired by aliens will enjoy Erich Von Daniken's Chariots of the Gods?

With everyone back in good health, we return to talk about the Sixth Doctor and The Mysterious Planet... which may or may not be Earth (Spoiler, it's Earth) blown out of place by some strangeness. Of course the real question is what that has to do with the fact the Doctor is on trail and Peri is nowhere to be found.

The Diddly Dum Podcast returns after a break with some bombshell news. Then The Whoseum is opened up again to welcome Hayden Gribble and Matt Charlton who have found the coveted copperplate invitations to The Whoseum in their Wonka Bars. Listen in as they present for exhibition items which speak to their hearts of what Doctor Who means.

Is that silver sphere a garden ornament or a Yeti control unit? What did Hayden find in his great grandmother's Radio Times to set him off on a lifetime of Doctor Who fandom? How can Matt's Ninth Doctor action figure be simultaneously groovy and bolshy? And where did Hayden get that shooting script from?

Along the way, the conversation leaps from Thals in ripped jeans to Pinky and Perky via the prospect of Doctor Who taking its soap opera elements to unheard of heights. Doc even reveals his guiltiest of secrets when it comes to TV viewing pleasure.

SHOWNOTES

Doc has been racking his brain trying to think who the caretakers left behind in the Whoseum remind him of. They sounded suspiciously like a pair of characters, Crun and Bannister, from The Goon Show. And their conversation bears a remarkable resemblance to The Goon Show's "The Case of Vanishing Room".

When you've seen a group of TV newsreaders singing and dancing once, every future year that they repeat it becomes less and less amusing. So it's unfortunate for the BBC newsreaders that Morecambe and Wise beat them to it in 1977.

Pinky and Perky were a pair of puppet pigs created by Czechs Jan and Vlasta Dalibor. The characters of pigs were chosen because the pig is seen as a symbol of good luck in the former Czechoslovakia. They spoke and sang in high-pitched voice (Pink and Perky, that is, not Jan and Vlasta) and often sang cover versions of popular songs.

"The White Horses" was a 1965 television series co-produced by RTV Ljubljana (now RTV Slovenija) of Yugoslavia and German TV (Sudwestfunk). Its haunting theme tune/song is guaranteed to send a wistful shiver down the spine of anyone of a certain age (viz. Doc).

"The Singing Ringing Tree" was a children's film made by East German studio DEFA in 1957 and shown in the form of a television series by the BBC.

"The Flashing Blade" was a French television serial made in the late 1960s. It was first broadcast in the UK on BBC children's television during the 1960s, with several re-runs throughout the 1970s. The story is based upon historical events during the War of the Mantuan Succession (1628-1631) between France and Spain. The theme song is guaranteed to stir calls to duty in the breast of anyone of a certain age (viz. Doc).

"Follyfoot" was a children's television series co-produced by Yorkshire Television and TV Munich. It aired in the UK between 1971 and 1973. The series starred Desmond Llewelyn (the original Q from James Bond) but he never told any of the characters "now listen carefully".

Doctor Who designer Barry Newberry has sadly died at the age of 88.

"Doctor Who - The Troughton Years" was a video containing rare episodes from Patrick Troughton's time as the Doctor.

Dominic Treadwell-Collins (born 26 August 1977) is a British television producer, known for his work on the soap operas Family Affairs and EastEnders and, if Matt gets his way, Doctor Who.

Roy Castle, OBE (31 August 1932 - 2 September 1994) was an English dancer, singer, comedian, actor, television presenter and musician. He played Ian in the Doctor Who and the Daleks film (1965) but even more famously hosted BBC children's show "Record Breakers". Footage of the breaking of the world tap dancing record at BBC Television Centre never fails to get the feet tapping in those of a certain age (viz. Doc).

The Radio Times 1996 "Return of The Time Lord" pull-out.

Born in Hull, Geoffrey Dummer MBE (25 February 1909 - 9 September 2002) was a British electronics engineer and consultant who is credited as being the first person to conceptualise and build a prototype of the integrated circuit, commonly called the microchip, in the late-1940s and early 1950s.

Dafydd ap Llywelyn (c. March 1212 - 25 February 1246) was Prince of Gwynedd from 1240 to 1246. He was the first ruler to claim the title Prince of Wales.

"Urgent Calls" by Big Finish

"Doctor Who: Thirty Years in the TARDIS" is a one-off, 50-minute television documentary, broadcast to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the show and originally transmitted on 29 November 1993. This was followed by a release on VHS, titled "More Than Thirty Years in the TARDIS".

When you've seen a group of TV newsreaders singing and dancing once, every future year that they repeat it becomes less and less amusing. So it's unfortunate for the BBC newsreaders that Morecambe and Wise beat them to it in 1977.

Pinky and Perky were a pair of puppet pigs created by Czechs Jan and Vlasta Dalibor. The characters of pigs were chosen because the pig is seen as a symbol of good luck in the former Czechoslovakia. They spoke and sang in high-pitched voice (Pink and Perky, that is, not Jan and Vlasta) and often sang cover versions of popular songs.

"The White Horses" was a 1965 television series co-produced by RTV Ljubljana (now RTV Slovenija) of Yugoslavia and German TV (Sudwestfunk). Its haunting theme tune/song is guaranteed to send a wistful shiver down the spine of anyone of a certain age (viz. Doc).

"The Singing Ringing Tree" was a children's film made by East German studio DEFA in 1957 and shown in the form of a television series by the BBC.

"The Flashing Blade" was a French television serial made in the late 1960s. It was first broadcast in the UK on BBC children's television during the 1960s, with several re-runs throughout the 1970s. The story is based upon historical events during the War of the Mantuan Succession (1628-1631) between France and Spain. The theme song is guaranteed to stir calls to duty in the breast of anyone of a certain age (viz. Doc).

"Follyfoot" was a children's television series co-produced by Yorkshire Television and TV Munich. It aired in the UK between 1971 and 1973. The series starred Desmond Llewelyn (the original Q from James Bond) but he never told any of the characters "now listen carefully".

Doctor Who designer Barry Newberry has sadly died at the age of 88.

“Doctor Who – The Troughton Years” was a video containing rare episodes from Patrick Troughton’s time as the Doctor.

Dominic Treadwell-Collins (born 26 August 1977) is a British television producer, known for his work on the soap operas Family Affairs and EastEnders and, if Matt gets his way, Doctor Who.

Roy Castle, OBE (31 August 1932 - 2 September 1994) was an English dancer, singer, comedian, actor, television presenter and musician. He played Ian in the Doctor Who and the Daleks film (1965) but even more famously hosted BBC children’s show “Record Breakers”. Footage of the breaking of the world tap dancing record at BBC Television Centre never fails to get the feet tapping in those of a certain age (viz. Doc).

The Radio Times 1996 “Return of The Time Lord” pull-out.

Born in Hull, Geoffrey Dummer MBE (25 February 1909 - 9 September 2002) was a British electronics engineer and consultant who is credited as being the first person to conceptualise and build a prototype of the integrated circuit, commonly called the microchip, in the late-1940s and early 1950s.

Dafydd ap Llywelyn (c. March 1212 - 25 February 1246) was Prince of Gwynedd from 1240 to 1246. He was the first ruler to claim the title Prince of Wales.

Welcome aboard the Big Blue Box for episode 31. Some good and not-so-good news to kick off with but then we're straight into our review of The Doctor's Wife.

The News

Unfortunately production designer Barry Newbury has passed away aged 88. Barry was involved with the show since An Unearthly Show all the way through to 1984's The Awakening. It's sad that another Who veteran has left us but we celebrate his legacy and the awesome work he did on the show.

Samuel Anderson aka Danny Pink has picked up the award for Best Male Performance in TV given at the 2015 Screen Nation Film and Television Awards. He received the award for his work on Doctor Who and Trollied. Nice work Mr Anderson.

Bad news for fans eagerly awaiting the release of The Underwater Menace. Originally due for release in 2014 but pushed back to sometime this year, we've now learnt that it's removed from this year's schedule all together. As we haven't had a classic release in just over a year now (since The Web of Fear) it's disheartening to learn that we could go another year with no release. There is a fan petition here if you want to get your name down and show some support for it's release.

"The Doctor's Wife" Review

Modern Who time and after our commentary episode of The Eleventh Hour we stick with Matt Smith and look at an episode often referred to as overrated and weak. Did we review this one with great gusto or get squashed like an Ood standing in the wrong spot?

Thank you all as usual for getting in touch with your thoughts. Next week is Tom Baker's Robot so remember to give us your opinions. Have an awesome week and until then - Allons-y!!!

So here we are. The grand finale of the three book run of New Adventures seemingly dedicated to pain and suffering! Which is itself really the second part of an actual trilogy! That's right, this week sees The Oncoming Storm tackle Warlock by Andrew Cartmel, in episode 143. After months of reading about the TARDIS crew being punished, tortured, and killed, can Josh, Ashley, and Rachel be able to make it through a book about animal experimentation and personal loss? With the Doctor on the trail of a new drug named Warlock, will your hosts need to resort to drugs themselves to make it through the trippy experiences they're reading about? And most interesting of all, will they realize just how good a book about these things can be, even if the Doctor is hardly in it? The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got audio problems! Yeah, Mea Culpa, but hopefully we've figured it out for next time. If it's a problem for you, just take some mind altering drugs. It'll help you fit right in with this episode.
