John Levene's Autobiography (with Luke Molloy)

jeudi 8 août 2024 • Duration 01:06:56

Send us a text

In a break from your usual programming, Mark opens the doors of the On the Time Lash pub for a book club style chat with Doctor Who podcaster at large, Luke Molloy for a chat about "Run The Shadows Walk The Sun" by John Levene.

John Levene's life story is a beautiful contradiction; a celebrity autobiography by someone who was never a "celebrity", that is both brimming with enthusiasm and seething with rage.

Join Mark and Luke as they discover how 9/11 affected John Levene, why he fired John Travolta, and the truth about Sergeant Benton's duet with Susan Boyle.

You can read Mark's original review here.

"Pip will have the salmon"

In a raucous series finale, Ben and Mark welcome actor, presenter, and host of Mikey & Who, Mikey Smith to tease his upcoming project with David Burton, and submit his five choices for the Tinsel Tunnel.

Mikey's choices call into question the veracity of Doctor Who actor anecdotes, provide marriage counselling to Pip and Jane Baker, reappraise a lost incarnation of the Doctor, and interrogate what are we actually doing here exactly?

Listen all the way to the end for Ben and Mikey reconciling their historic feud.

WARNING: Contains an AWFUL impression of Billy Connolly.

146: Uncle Winky Was Right

Season 13 · Episode 7

"I was the fan, and I enjoyed being serviced"

After a decade, Ben and Mark bring On the Time Lash's NuWho Watchthrough to an end with a discussion of The Power of Doctor, paired up with Big Finish's wildly experimental 40th anniversary audio adventure - Zagreus.

And since it's the end, Ben and Mark discuss the big issues:

How to lend gravitas to the name Uncle Winky, why The Power of the Doctor is a pitch-perfect satire of modern fandom, a celebration of Sacha Dhawan's Master, the meaning of an empty chair, why Paul McGann doesn't wear robes, the impossibility of explaining the plot of Zagreus, and a lament for when Big Finish took big swings.

And what is the imbecile/Icini conundrum?

Oddly topical for a podcast recorded back in August, Ben, Mark and their good friend Derek discuss poor decisions made in the interests of marketing as they cover Victory of the Daleks and The Claws of Axos. Over the course of 100 minutes, they cover everything from the ill-judged colourful Daleks, the perfectly judged Ironside Daleks, the magic of Bill Paterson, bureaucratic slugs, Jon Pertwee impressions, maths problems and a remote control Bob Hope
