The Doctor Who Podcast

Season 6 is over, the Doctor lives and Amy and Rory are reunited with their daughter and live happily ever after.  What now? We have received a lot of feedback for the last few stories of Series 6 which we just haven’t had the chance to play on the show. In this episode we attempt to rectify that. We present to you a double length episode with feedback, spirited discussions, arguments, outlandish theories, explanations and a whole lot of laughter. The Doctor Who Podcast – the podcast with the best set of teeth

They say good things come to those who wait, and we thank you for waiting patiently for this latest episode of what is simply the finest Doctor Who podcast in existence. In this episode all three hosts review the season finale – The Wedding of River Song. We also have a bit of a chat about the recent axing of Doctor Who Confidential. Get your feedback about Series 6 in now, we want to know what you thought of it!

Closing Time brings us to the penultimate episode for Seres 6 of Doctor Who, and it falls to Trevor and Tom to discuss and share their thoughts on this story. Not content with talking about the episode, they ended up talking about all manner of things other than the story itself! Rest assured there are no spoilers for non-screened episodes, so please enjoy!

With James and Tom abandoning Trevor this week some extra special help was called upon to review The God Complex. Chip from the Two Minute Timelord podcast answered the call to action and joins Trevor in the campervan for the review. We also play your feedback from the last couple of stories.

With a title like The Girl Who Waited, it wasn’t hard to figure out who this episode would focus on. Doctor Who presents us with another standalone episode, which Trevor, James and Tom share their thoughts on this week. We also announce details of an exciting competition!

Whooverville 3 recently took place on Saturday 3rd September 2011 and The Doctor Who Podcast was there! As where a lot of other podcasts, as part of the Doctor Who Podcast Alliance representation at the event. Our James, along with Michael from the Tin Dog Podcast and Luke from the Minute Doctor Who Podcast were lucky enough to interview 80s Who Girl herself, Nicola Bryant. Enjoy this very interesting interview with the Doctor Who companion who travelled alongside not one, but two Doctors.  

After checking the front door to make it was locked, leaving a light on and having the phone handy we settled down to watch Night Terrors, a creepy entry into the Season 6 lineup. All three DWP hosts are in the campervan this week – Trevor, James and Tom.  Hear what they have to say about this story.

Possibly the most misleading title in the history of Doctor Who (right up there with The Doctor’s Daughter, The Doctor’s Wife and The Happiness Patrol) Let’s Kill Hitler marks the return of Doctor Who to our screens for the second time in 2011. James and Tom review this most interesting episode. We also draw the winner of our competition from Episode 95. Your feedback, as always, is welcome.  Send it through to feedback@thedoctorwhopodcast.com.

Trevor and James are in prediction mode this episode and we take a look at the rumour, speculation and tasty titbits about the return of Doctor Who this coming weekend. Warning to all listeners – we discuss what we have learnt about Series 6B, some is fact, some is rumour.  But if you don’t want to be spoiled then we suggest you join us next week. Torchwood episode 5 and 6 are reviewed. We also draw the winner of our recent Paradise Towers DVD competition.

A quick glance at the Wikipedia entry for Joe Lidster will show that he knows his Doctor Who and related spinoffs. He has written for Big Finish, Torchwood and Sarah Jane Adventures, as well as the Bernice Summerfield ranges. When he isn’t writing for them he is producing short stories on, you guessed it, Doctor Who. This incredibly talented and busy man sat down with our James recently to talk all things Doctor Who. I am sure you will find this a fascinating interview.

Our second episode for this week concludes the DWPs look at our favourite Doctor Who stories from each era of the show. This episode starts with the umbrella carrying, question mark wearing 7th Doctor Sylvester McCoy, and finishes of course with the stetson sporting, custard loving 11th Doctor, Matt Smith. We also review the latest episode of new Torchwood, episode 4.

In response to requests from many of our listeners the DWP presents the first part of our two-part nostalgia trip through the DWP hosts favourite Doctor Who stories. Trevor, Tom and James will sort through each era of Doctor Who and pick out some of their personal favourites. This episode we cover the first six Doctors. Watch out later in the week for the conclusion to our stroll down memory lane. We also review the next episode of Torchwood, episode 3 of the current season. Featured in this episode is a great song called “The Mind of Evil” from Billy Davies aka The White Robot, an awesome DWP listener in New York.

On the review front for this episode Trevor and James look at two classic era DVD releases from 2Entertain – The Awakening and Frontios.  These oft neglected stories from Peter Davison’s final season as the Doctor have been given the DVD treatment and are ready to be appreciated by a whole new generation of fans. We also take a look at the second episode from the new series of Torchwood, Miracle Day – Rendition. Also in the show this week are some nice bits of audio feedback we have received recently.  Keep them coming, we love it.

The exclusives just keep coming at The Doctor Who Podcast – this week we are proud to present to you an interview out Tom had with former Doctor Who script editor, Andrew Cartmel. We also have an exclusive track from the new album by Alex Day, Still Got Legs. You might remember we interviewed Alex in Episode #38. He is back with a new album of wonderful Doctor Who parody songs. We hope you enjoy the taster we present in this episode for you.

James and Trevor are in review mode this week as they tackle a recent box set from those bods at 2Entertain. The Mara Tales set, comprising the stories Kinda and Snakedance from the Peter Davison era have been released in a shiny cardboard case.  James has already laid his cards on the table numerous times in professing his love for these two snakey stories, but what does Trev think? We also take time to review the first episode from the new series of Torchwood. Also included is a bit of left over rambling from a recent recording session – all to do with some thoughts on Series 6. We also draw the winner of one of our recent competitions.
