Esteemed science fiction journalist Steve O'Brien has chosen this odd little story as his pick of the list of stories that take him to his Happy Times and Places - times and places involving cricket, fancy dress, screwdrivers and murder! The show's first pure historical for many years, there's something fishy going on at the buffet and Nyssa is seeing double, but what will be chosen as the best thing on offer here? One thing's for sure : we will try to have a hoot!

Things pick up a bit after last week (which was a bit of a struggle) and obviously Gav Rymill and host Toby Hadoke are united in their adoration of the universally admired comedy scenes featuring Delores Grey ... ahem. Well, maybe not, but they are actually spoiled for choice for favourite things in this action packed finale to the 25th Anniversary celebration story.

Happy Times and Places 52.2 - Silver Nemesis 2
Friday Jan 20, 2023
Friday Jan 20, 2023
Cyber gloves! Skinhead facts! An excellent tree! It's not always plain sailing accentuating the positive points of this relatively uncelebrated celebratory story, and your host Toby Hadoke might not always be successful this time around. But he tries! And there is plenty to like - especially as super guest Gav Rymill is a fabulous advocate for all that is great about this Cyber-Nazi-LoonyWoman fest.

Happy Times and Places 52.1 - Silver Nemesis 1
Monday Jan 16, 2023
Monday Jan 16, 2023
Oh, so it's the "other" anniversary story. The one that people don't seem to talk about so much. Writer, artist, Dalek Prop expert, podcaster and all round renaissance man Gavin Rymill chooses what he describes as the "least popular" (according to the last DWM poll) Cyberman story. It's not one that's ever been high on host Toby Hadoke's list of Who's greatest achievements but will he learn to stop worrying and love the Nazis ... and the mad woman ... and the Cybermen ... and all that jazz? Well, he has to, that's kind of the point of the podcast.

Too Much Information 4.3 - Five Hundred Eyes
Monday Jan 09, 2023
Monday Jan 09, 2023
It's the third instalment of Marco Polo - William Hartnell is back to full health, but whilst history proves this to be one of the most admired Doctor Who stories, all that the press can talk about is the Daleks... although we get the first ever public indication that being a member ion the TARDIS crew is not a permanent gig. Even less permanent is one of the key crew members, who leaves this week after some "creative differences"...

Happy Times and Places Omnibus - Pyramids of Mars
Friday Jan 06, 2023
Friday Jan 06, 2023
Doctor Who researcher extraordinaire Richard Bignell is the guest for this trawl through the many merits if an acknowledged Doctor Who classic. But will he and host Toby Hadoke be acknowledging the same bits when choosing their favourites? There's definitely an embarrassment of riches to be uncovered in this very positive edition of Toby Hadoke's Time Travels.

Happy Times and Places 50 - The Five Doctors
Monday Jan 02, 2023
Monday Jan 02, 2023
Happy New Year! To celebrate the dawn of a new age here is the fiftieth story to be subjected to an overdose of positivity, stuttering and useless facts (not all of them correct) in Happy Times and Places. Talented animator and graphic artist Chris Cassell has chosen one of the series' landmark stories and so how better to celebrate this than with a landmark of our own? From when the series seemed to be everywhere, this feature length edition brings together a whole host of the Doctor Who's most popular elements... so how the hell will Chris and host Toby choose just five? I mean, they could just pick each of the Doctors as we are watching The Five Doctors (but they don't, so don't worry).

Indefinable Magic 21 - Melting Icebergs
Friday Dec 30, 2022
Friday Dec 30, 2022
This one is about Missing Episodes - not a definitive history but rather a series of personal thoughts and experiences. If you want proper detective work I'd go to the Missing Episodes podcast which is excellent. This is more about how the absence of some of Doctor Who episodes adds, or takes away, from our experience of the show. It's quite long, sorry - it's a subject your host is rather passionate about.

Happy Times and Places 51 - The Return of Dr Mysterio

A Christmas special with a very special bunch of guests : The Kids of Lamplighter School are a fabulous bunch of young American Doctor Who enthusiasts lending their thoughts to an after school Doctor Who club. Convened by their teacher for a very special edition of the podcast, this will melt your frozen cockles with festive cheer.
Oh, and incidentally... :)

Happy Times and Places 49.6 - The Sea Devils 6
Friday Dec 23, 2022
Friday Dec 23, 2022
And so now there's plenty of action - Sea Devils shoot, they tumble, they fall off the roof. It's not all bangs and flashed though - there's a hovercraft, a curious MP moustache dance, and of course the moment the Master stands around doing nothing for about three weeks as all hell breaks loose around him. This has been a most enjoyable watch-along though, and will Steve Hatcher and Toby Hadoke go out on a high by choosing exactly the same things as each other? Or will Steve just tell your host to get in the sea...?
