The Doctor Who Podcast

Step into the Campervan and join James, Stephen, Ian and Tony as they discuss the first in a series of shows focussing on the regeneration stories.  Starting at the beginning, they discuss the merits of The Tenth Planet;  the Cybermen’s first story and William Hartnell’s last. In the annex, Ian and Michele finally reach the finale of the second series of Eighth Doctor and Charley Big Finish stories, Neverland. Enjoy the show!

Amy Pond and Clara Oswin Oswald.  Which character has the more interesting journey? Who is more interesting to watch on screen?  Which actor delivers the most convincing performance?!  Join Stephen, Michele, James and Leeson as they talk about two of the Doctor’s most recent companions.  Ian and Michele also take time out to discuss the latest Eighth Doctor and Charley play in their marathon listen – and review Big Finish’s Time of the Daleks. Enjoy the show

Is there a character from from one story, or perhaps just one episode of Doctor Who that you find particularly memorable?  Or is there anyone that you felt gave such good performance that they had you wishing them through the doors of the TARDIS?  Have you been disappointed at having to say goodbye to a Companion That Never Was?!  The history of televised Doctor Who is littered with fantastic performances from members of supporting cast.  Join James, Ian, Michele and Tony as they put forward their candidates of who they believe would have made a fantastic companion to the Doctor.

Join us for a landmark Episode of The Doctor Who Podcast! 250 DWPs eh?! Who’d have thought?!  Well, this time we have a treat for you as Ian gets to spend some chatting to the Eight Doctor himself, Mr Paul McGann at this year’s Big Finish Day 4. The Campervan is full to bursting this week as Trevor, James, Leeson, Michele and Stephen all make an appearance (of sorts!) and chime in with their thoughts about the Eight Doctor era. Enjoy the show.

Join Michele, Tom and Stephen as they talk about the role of the all-powerful Showrunner – and toss some names of potential candidates in the air in terms of whom might succeed Steven Moffat when the time comes. Ian and Michele continue their voyage through season two of the Eight Doctor and Charley Big Finish plays and take a look at Seasons of Fear and Embrace the Darkness. We’ll be back next week with Episode 250!  And we’ve a little surprise for you in store…. Enjoy the show.

Join James and a special guest (a very, very special guest)  as they talk their way through six – yes, SIX Big Finish Main Range plays.  Sit back and hear them talk about Eldrad Must Die, The Lady of Mercia, Prisoners of Fate, Persuasion, Starlight Robbery and Daleks Among Us. We’ll be back next week when we turn our attention to just who might follow Steven Moffat as Showrunner of Doctor Who. Enjoy the show.

Join Stephen and Leeson as they geek out over this year’s Gallifrey One convention.  Stephen (who attended) describes his experiences to Leeson (who stayed at home). Hear Leeson’s frustration gradually increase as Stephen reveals what it’s like when 3,300 Doctor Who fans from around the globe converge in a hotel, pretty much at the end of one of the runways at Los Angeles Airport. Ian and Michele continue their trek through the early Eighth Doctor and Charley stories as they review Big Finish‘s Invaders from Mars and The Chimes of Midnight. There  was a recording issue this episode that has resulted in Stephen’s voice sounding like a partially converted Cyberman.  Apologies for this and hopefully it won’t interfere with your listening pleasure too much!

Michele is joined by a certain UNIT Captain in the last of our updates from this year’s Gallifrey One.

Michele is back with yet more DWP listeners covering day three of  Gallifrey One 25 in Los Angeles.

Michele is back with some more wonderful DWP listeners, reporting on the first full day of Gallifrey One 25 from Los Angeles.

Join Michele, live from Los Angeles at Gallifrey One 25 as she’s joined by three real life, bona fide, DWP listeners!

With just two days to go before the largest Doctor Who Convention kicks off in Los Angeles, Stephen and Michele are joined by Chip Sudderth, also known as The Two Minute Time Lord to preview Gallifrey One 25. Join the US occupation of the Campervan to hear about experiences of Gallifreys past and the preview of the programme for this year’s event.  Stephen, Michele and Chip will all be there at the LAX Marriott for the con, so if you’re going, make you track them down and say ‘hi’. Enjoy the show.

A real mixed bag this time!  James and Michele discuss the thirteenth Doctor’s sense of fashion.  Stephen drops in a more thoughtful (and detailed) opinion too. Ian is then joined by Nicholas Briggs and discusses the Eighth incarnation of our favourite Gallifreyan and possible directions his iteration can now head post-Night of the Doctor. In addition, a review of the final story in Big Finish‘s first Eighth Doctor and Charlie season, Minuet in Hell and the last part of our Re-Trial of a Time Lord mini-series where Trial of The Valeyard gets put under the DWP microscope! Phew! Enjoy the show.

As one Doctor prepares to begin his reign, Michele, James and Stephen take a look back at the beginning of another.  We set the dial for 1970 and review Jon Pertwee’s debut story, Spearhead From Space. Stephen Elsden pops back for Part Two of Re-Trial of a Time Lord and reports back after his very first viewing of Terror of the Vervoids and The Ultimate Foe. Still not enough?! Well then, Ian and Michele continue their trek through the first season of Eight Doctor and Charley Big Finish stories and review The Stones of Venice. Enjoy the show.

Join Stephen, Michele and James as they geek out over the latest Doctor Who news.  And George Formby. We also welcome Stephen Elsden back to the campervan for Part 1 of Re-Trial of a Time Lord – a new mini-series where Stephen talks about his reaction to watching Series 23 for the very first time, some thirty years after it first aired on BBC1. As if that wasn’t enough, then Michele and Ian continue their trek through the Eighth Doctor Big Finish plays and turn their attention to Sword of Orion! Enjoy the show.
