Happy Times and Places 27.6 - The Time Monster 6
Friday Dec 17, 2021
Friday Dec 17, 2021
Not the easiest of tasks this, and it was very early on in the recording schedule of this podcast, so please indulge the baby steps. Anyway, for whatever reason it was held back, here it is (and on reflection it sounds fine), one of the least celebrated Pertwee stories: warts, Atlantis and all. You've had Time and the Rani and The Time Monster pretty close together, and we've already done Time-Flightand The Time Warrior, so we have all the Times in the world. For now. But so long as they are happy Times, that's OK. Oh, and nobody leaves Baby Benton in the corner.

Happy Times and Places 28.1 - Warriors of the Deep 1
Monday Dec 20, 2021
Monday Dec 20, 2021
Big Finish writer extraordinaire, comedy genius and researcher of the arcane Jonny Morris chooses a typically left field entry into this celebratory podcast. Fortunately, he is not the only one who has a soft spot for this much maligned story, so dust off your eye shadows and get in synch with your two hosts as they try to get to the bottom of what exactly is the best thing happening beneath the sea...

Happy Times and Places 28.2 - Warriors of the Deep 2
Friday Dec 24, 2021
Friday Dec 24, 2021
Things are hotting up on Seabase Four, but my guest Jonathan Morris and host Toby Hadoke are not confining ourselves to events under the sea - Aliens and Fifty Shades of Grey both get a look in this week : so if you're into rubber then the sea base doors are for you, and if it's leather you're after then... well, you're probably a Myrka kind of guy or gal :) Oh dear. Brave heart.

Happy Times and Places BONUS EPISODE - The Next Doctor
Saturday Dec 25, 2021
Saturday Dec 25, 2021
Season's Greetings, and here is your podcast present. Here's hoping Christmas is a Happy Time and Place for you and that you can join host Toby Hadoke and guest, podcaster David Steel (The Power of 3) for this trip to this Special of Christmas Past. From a time where David Tennant could conceivably turn into David Morrissey, it has the return of the Cybermen, flashbacks to Doctors of old, Dickensian urchins, a plucky female sidekick, a delicious villain and a bonkers ending with a giant Cyber Crazy Thing stomping about Victorian (yes, Victorian) London. Oh, and as it is Christmas, there's a special gift for you at the end of the podcast in the form of... well, another guest, who provides some fascinating insights into the production... and might just swing the balance of the contest... Oh and incidentally, a happy Christmas to all off you at home...

Happy Times and Places 28.3 - Warriors of the Deep 3
Monday Dec 27, 2021
Monday Dec 27, 2021
Everybody was kung-fu fighting! Well, Ingrid Pitt was. This is an infamous episode, thanks to the Pitt/Myrka combo that has come in for a fair amount of stick - but that's not going to stop an outpouring of love from Big Finish and BBC Books scribe Jonathan Morris, and indeed your host Toby Hadoke, who is very keen to play Where's Wally with the mysterious Sea Base staff member Paroli...

Happy Times and Places BONUS - Twice Upon A Time
Friday Dec 31, 2021
Friday Dec 31, 2021
Another festive treat for you all, recorded terrifyingly close to release, as Christmas comes again just as its afterglow threatens to vanish. This time, the young guest offers a Christmas past as your Christmas present, and brings with him hope of Christmas future - at 15 Joe is the youngest guest the podcast has ever had, and brings an insight rare for this type of thing. But bear in mind, he's a 15 year old whose Top Ten of Who has Davison, Troughton and Colin Baker stories in it : as well as this, the last episode of the Capaldi/Moffat area. Can your host Toby Hadoke get even close to being in tune with the attitudes of someone born just after Rose aired? There's only one way to find out...

Happy Times and Places 28.4 - Warriors of the Deep 4
Monday Jan 03, 2022
Monday Jan 03, 2022
Everybody (well nearly everybody) dies! Oh it's a grim place to spend your time is Seabase 4, but there's fun to be had trying to spot Tarpok (who since this was recorded has popped up in Village of the Angels!) and mining this often unloved story for lots of positives. Whether there should have been another way or not, there's still plenty for host Toby Hadoke to talk about, especially with advocate extraordinaire Jonathan Morris.
Since this episode was recorded Toby's old chum, Vincent "Tarpok" Brimble popped up in Village of the Angels which is very exciting indeed!

Indefinable Magic 12 - You Say Potato, I Say Sontaran
Friday Jan 07, 2022
Friday Jan 07, 2022
What was your most egregious pronunciation of a Doctor Who word - Sontaran? Mandragora? Metebilis? They are all here (hopefully) with a few memories, asides, segues and jokes thrown in for good measure. You know the kind of thing - verbal diarrhoea in an anorak, that's Toby Hadoke's Time Travels.

Happy Times and Places 29.1 - The War Machines 1
Monday Jan 10, 2022
Monday Jan 10, 2022
Your hosts are watching Doctor Who - the programme and the person. Oh yes, is the story with the bit people like to pretend didn't happen. Popular internet scamp Pip Madeley (what do you mean you don't follow him on Twitter? Amend that immediately) takes a not entirely serious look at Doctor Who's first proper step into the kind of story we take into our stride these days : present day Earth, London landmarks, lots of soldiers. With added poignancy because of the recent death of Jackie Lane, let's see if Pip and host Toby Hadoke are on the same wavelength... Since this was recorded the story's marvellous director Michael Ferguson also passed away.

Happy Times and Places 29.2 - The War Machines 2
Friday Jan 14, 2022
Friday Jan 14, 2022
So this is the one in which he gets called "Doctor Who" a lot! Will that be Pip Madeley's favourite thing. Or your host, Toby Hadoke's? Or are they far too sensible for that? When Toby was a youngster this was the only episode of The War Machines in existence - oh how fans used to dream of having the full story. You lot don't know you're born!
