Review - The Evil of The Daleks

In this podcast continuing Troughton Month, Phil, Paul and Scott provide their thoughts on the differing novelisations of The Evil of The Daleks, one written by John Peel and the other written by Frazer Hines.

But is this really the best Doctor Who story as was voted for during the shows 30th anniversary year, or is it a long winded story, bloated with too many characters that serve no purpose other than to be Dalek fodder? Listen to find out what they thought as they discuss the differences between the written and visual versions and will Paul wearing no trousers really help matters?

Doctor Who - The Anniversary Specials | Dimensions in Time

In their look back at Doctor Who anniversary specials of years gone by, Phil and Scott have now reached the 30th Anniversary of the show with Dimensions in Time. This 1993 tie into the BBC's annual charity fundraiser Children in Need, sees the Rani attempt to capture all the incarnations of the Doctor for reasons unclear on the set of the BBC soap opera Eastenders. Cue pointless 3D, unconnected scenes cobbled together as a story and an awful early 90's techno rendition of the Doctor Who theme tune.

But after Phil explains to Scott the reasons for the actors doing this for no money and Scott trying to pronounce Keff McCulloch, did either of them find any redeeming features amongst this disappointing mess?

Who's He? At The Movies | Dredd

Following on from Phil's look at 1995's Judge Dredd, this time Phil looks at 2012's Dredd starring Karl Urban. Was this the film that Judge Dredd fans were waiting for and did it banish the memory of Sylvester Stallone's helmetless take on Mega City One's finest?

But importantly, why did this film fail at the box office and what is the future for Ol' Stony Face on the big screen?

Review - The Mind Robber

In "The Mind Robber," the TARDIS is forced off course into a dimension of fiction. The Doctor (played by Patrick Troughton) and his companions, Jamie and Zoe, find themselves in a mysterious white void. They encounter various fictional characters and creatures from different literary works, including Medusa, Rapunzel and Gulliver and discover they all being manipulated by The Master (not that one).

Yes, come and join Phil and Paul in the Land of Fancy, er... I mean Fiction where all things are possible if the budget allows it. Our intrepid reviewing duo tackle the televised and written formats of this story and while they find a few minor differences, what did this story really add up to? But most of all, please believe in us otherwise we will cease to exi............

Doctor Who - The Anniversary Specials | Silver Nemesis

In this story celebrating the 25th anniversary of Doctor Who, the Doctor and Ace face off against the Doctors old enemies the Cybermen (complete with a shiny chrome overhaul), a group of Neo Nazi's fronted by Anton Diffring (who looks like he would rather be somewhere else) and an old enemy of the Doctors, Lady Peinforte, who are all after an ancient Timelord weapon made of living metal.

Scott and Phil sit down on a sweltering September evening and chewed the fat over this disappointing celebratory story that features scenes that end abruptly, a flimsy bow from Woolworths and has the dubious honour of making the Cybermen totally useless and defeating them with chocolate coins is the order of the day.

Scott's Short Reviews - Invasion of The Dinosaurs

The Doctor and Sarah Jane arrive on Earth in the midst of the chaos and begin investigating the cause of temporal disturbances that make dinosaurs appear on the streets of London. They discover that a group of scientists, led by the renegade scientist Professor Whitaker, are behind the scheme. They are using a device called the "time reversal" to bring dinosaurs to the present day, with the intention of "cleansing" the Earth by erasing the technological advancements that they believe have led to its decline.

Join a very tired Scott as he takes a video diary approach to reviewing this story and what will he make of those dinosaurs?

Doctor Who - The Anniversary Specials | The Five Doctors

This feature length episode of Doctor Who bought back the previous actors (well 2 of them anyway!) who had played the Doctor to join Peter Davison to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the show.  In a tale of forbidden knowledge and power being sought on Gallifrey, just who is taking various incarnations of the Doctor out of time and dropping them into the Death Zone on Gallifrey to play the game of Rassilon?

Once again Phil and Scott sit down to discuss this celebratory story which sees Scott ask just what is canon before moving onto even pithier questions on the topic of the Raston Warrior Robots butt cheeks.

This episode has also been released to celebrate Doctor Who Podcast Day!

Review - The Last Day At Work

In what they are calling Troughton Month, Scott & Phil listened to a second Doctor Short Trips audio story, The Last Day at Work written by Harry Draper and read by Nicholas Briggs. With policeman Bernard Whittam about to retire and the Doctor and Jamie dropping in to his retirement party, can the Doctor explain why Bernard can hear a certain wheezing and groaning noise in his head? But what has Julian Clary and Donaldsons Dairy have to do with anything?

But to kick things off, the lads have a quick chat about the Patrick Troughton era and try to pick their favourite three stories.

Scott's Short Reviews - Animal

Margrave University in 2001, and Raine Creevy is enjoying her first trip into the future.

For the Doctor, there are mysteries to solve: what are the alien creatures imprisoned in the science labs? And what are the true motives of the student Scobie and his followers?

With enemies on all sides, the Doctor teams up with his old friend Brigadier Bambera and the forces of UNIT in a battle for the future of the whole world.

Scott flies solo this episode and records his thoughts on Animal from Big Finish featuring his favourite Doctor and companion, the 7th Doctor and Ace.

Review - Masters of War

Just for a change Phil and Paul have a listen to Masters of War, part of the Doctor Who Unbound series of audio stories from Big Finish. In this "what if" scenario, The Doctor (played by David Warner) and his travelling companion Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart land the TARDIS on Skaro and find that the Daleks have subjugated the Thals and the Doctor sets out to help them fight back. However not everything on Skaro is as it seems.

How will Phil and Paul react to a story that is not (gasp!) canon? Will David Warner live up to Paul's lofty expectations? And will Phil get his in his impression of a spaced out Mr. Burns? Listen to find out if any of this is true!

Review - The Faceless Ones

The TARDIS lands at Gatwick Airport in the 1960s, and the Doctor and his companions discover that some young people have gone missing under mysterious circumstances. The investigation leads them to Chameleon Tours and they uncover a fiendish plot to kidnap the youth of Britain!!

This unplanned podcast finds Phil and Scott chatting about The Faceless Ones starring Patrick Troughton as the Doctor. This is Scotts first animated story and his first Troughton story so there was a lot to discuss! This story is also notable for the departure of Ben and Polly from the TARDIS and both Phil and Scott reckon they have improved on part of episode six by creating their first Doctor Who reconstruction!

Starring Jon Pertwee, Patrick Troughton and William Hartnell, energy emanating from a black hole targets UNIT headquarters searching for the 3rd Doctor.

During their discussion, Scott raises the subject of what happened to the Brigadier in this story and his dislike of CSO, before going off on a tangent on animated stories and Phil gives thanks to this story for contributing to the Who's He? Podcast.

Review - The God Complex

In this episode, the Doctor, played by Matt Smith, along with his companions Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) and Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill), arrive at a mysterious hotel that seems to be a trap for unsuspecting victims. Each room in the hotel contains the worst fears of the people who enter them, and the fears manifest as a creature that eventually kills them.

To chat about this story, Phil is joined by Mark Cockram from the All Of Time and Space Podcast to chat about this story that Mark chose for discussion.  Obviously they get the chills about those damn ventriloquist dolls but for some reason the word "sexy" is used a couple of times for no apparent reason.

Review - The Brain of Morbius

In the story, the Doctor and Sarah Jane arrive on the planet Karn, which is inhabited by the Sisterhood of Karn. The Sisterhood possesses the Elixir of Life, a powerful substance that can extend a person's lifespan which they have been guarding for centuries. However, they have a longstanding conflict with the Time Lords of Gallifrey, who have forbidden the use of the elixir.  On Karn, the Doctor encounters the mad scientist Mehendri Solon, who is obsessed with creating a new body for the brain of the evil Time Lord Morbius.

As Phil and Paul discuss this classic Doctor Who serial and the differences between the TV and novelised versions, the subject of Brains Faggots is raised and Phil creates a new corn based snack, "Terrance Dicks Sticks".

Who's He? At The Movies | High Plains Drifter

In Phil's first look at a movie for a very long time, he picked 1973's High Plains Drifter starring Clint Eastwood.

The story follows a mysterious stranger, who arrives in the small town of Lago, situated in the high plains of the American west. The townspeople are terrorised by a gang of outlaws who are due to be released from prison soon, and they hire the Stranger to protect them.

But this movie is western with a supernatural twist and turns the pioneering west on its head.

Review - Four to Doomsday

"Four to Doomsday" is the second serial of the 19th season of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It originally aired on BBC One in four weekly parts from 18 January to 8 February 1982. The serial features the Fifth Doctor (played by Peter Davison) and his companions Tegan, Nyssa, and Adric. The Doctor and his companions arrive on a spaceship heading to Earth, where they discover the ship's crew and passengers are actually from different eras and planets. They are being controlled by the Monarch, an advanced and manipulative alien who plans to use the humans to repopulate his own race and conquer the universe. The Doctor and his companions must stop the Monarch's plans before it's too late.

Well, Phil and Paul aren't too enthused about this story and were hoping the Target novelisation would save the day but unfortunately this was not be! However, the pair of them get into conversation about the crowded TARDIS and just how much the TARDIS crew want to punch Adric!

The News

The lads catch up on a couple of items of news with the announcement of season 9 as the latest Doctor Who The Collection blu ray boxset and the rumblings that a partner has been found to continue with animating missing episodes.

Review - Invaders From Mars

Phil and Paul take a look at Invaders From Mars from Big Finish starring Paul McGann and India Fisher. With bad Noo Yoik accents all round, there is much to enjoy in this comedic alien invasion story that manages to weave in Orson Welles classic 1938 broadcast of The War of The Worlds, Nazis and Russian spies! All this and Phil manages to destroy Siri!

Also in this episode, Scott gives us a short take on the Sylvester McCoy era!

The News

Phil and Paul have a look at recent casting announcements for series 14 of Doctor Who, they ponder Disneys involvement with the show and what was Paul's reaction to the new series being 8 episodes long? This leads them down conversational cul de sacs where they talk about Come Dancing hosted by old BBC Radio 2 DJ's and Phil wants Doctor Who back on Saturday nights!

Review - Carnival of Monsters

This month, the lads look at Carnival of Monsters starring Jon Pertwee and Katy Manning. In a story they both love, they draw comparisons between the Target novelisation and the televised version and also try to decide which Tory politicians fit the characters of Kalik, Orum and Pletrac.

We also apologise for the audio quality of this episode and the noise Phil's cat Spike was making!

Spin Offs

In this episode Phil is joined by an old friend of the show, Martyn Havell from the Bad Wilf and Running Down Corridors podcasts, who sit down to chat about Doctor Who spin offs and also what spin offs they would have liked to see now and also what spin offs they could have done in the past.

Along the way they get sidetracked and talk about the John Barrowman incident, how he can never return to Torchwood and was the social media outrage justified?

Welcome the Fourth Doctor - Robot

Phil & Scott continue their series of looking at how good how each Doctor's inaugural stories were at introducing them to the waiting world, with Robot, starring Tom Baker. With a riff on King Kong and THAT tank, do the lads think this was successful in introducing the mighty Tom Baker to the world of Doctor Who, and would Professor Kettlewell's hairstyle suit Phil?

The News

Phil and Scott discuss the Doctor Who news that they have missed over the last few weeks, in which Disney has the streaming rights for Doctor Who and how Britbox has the opposite and the new costume for Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor is revealed.

Phil & Scott's Favourite Christmas Specials

For this years Christmas podcast, Phil and Scott select their favourite Doctor Who Christmas Special. After much mulling over and research (yeah, right!) Scott goes for The Christmas Invasion from 2005 and forgets to put his teeth in and Phil selects the 2012 Christmas special The Snowmen and discusses why the Victorian era Clara Oswald would have made a better companion than modern era Clara!

We would like to wish all of our listeners a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

Review - Temporal Log Book III: Changed Lives

Phil reviews Temporal Log Book III: Changed Lives from Penciltip Publishing, a collection of Doctor Who short stories with all proceeds going to Settled, helping to home displaced EU citizens in the UK.

The Jodie Whittaker Era

Joining Phil for this discussion are old friends of the show, Radio Free Skaro's Steven Schapansky and Verity's Erika Ensign. During their discussion, they touch on subjects such as what did they think of the Jodie Whittaker era and did it live up to their expectations and why did fandom split itself apart on the casting news?  Whatever the discussion bought up, a fun time was had by all, especially as the conversation reminded Phil of Lenny Henry running around Catford shopping centre handing out doughnuts!

The Power of The Doctor - Review

Yes, the time is here to say goodbye to the 13th Doctor and Jodie Whittaker in The Power of The Doctor.  With Scott filling in for Paul who has got the lurgi, he joins Phil in chatting about the 13th Doctors final story.  A story that was full to the brim of nostalgia that warmed the cockles of Phil's heart but was it any good as a fitting send off for Jodie Whittaker?

The News

Russell T. Davies lets us know just where David Tennant and Ncuti Gatwa fit in to the numbering of Doctors and Doctor Who will be streaming on Disney Plus!

Omega's Stats Corner

Yes, they've got the stats very badly as Phil trots out the overnight viewing figures and AI scores for The Power of The Doctor which no-one really cares about!
