OK, the chase is over (and so is The Chase II, which is pretty much what has been happening these past few weeks in Masterplan Land). There's an eerie emptiness to this episode, plus one last hurrah for the delegates. But where the heck is TV's Doctor Who? Steven, Sara and Chen have to carry most of the episode but the Doctor better hurry because time is, literally, running out... Ian K McLachlan brilliantly takes us back in time in more ways than one, and his joyous celebration of this story, which has its genesis in the adventure's one and only broadcast, is infectious and fun. But , crucially, can a more modern fan (Toby Hadoke, modern???) possibly choose the same thing to like, or are the two viewers' time streams too far apart to ever converge?

The actor David Warner has died, so here is a tribute, written and recorded pretty much as the news of his death was breaking - so forgive a lack of polish. Indefinable Magic is not normally topical but host Toby Hadoke had a personal journey with David Warner - who himself had a series of connections with Doctor Who. This is not an objective, nor rigorous, assessment of his career - there will be plenty of those elsewhere, and rightly so - this is a set of personal observations and remembrances and, hopefully, a just tribute to a fine man and excellent actor.

Well blimey. What an epic. But does it come to a suitable climax? No delegates, barely any Doctor, and in the case of Mavic Chen, no marbles. But how lucky have we been to have Ian McLachlan to guide us thorough this story - he watched it go out, and he has seen every episode of Doctor Who bar one. Plus he has letters from William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton! What a legend! Ian and host Toby Hadoke have to choose two things this time around - is there anything left? Or will we witness the Destruction of (Happy) Times and Places?
Sadly, Ian McLachlan passed away during the week this podcast was released. Hopefully this preserves just a little of what made this lovely, enthusiastic man (and fan) - who paved the way for the rest of us - so special. RIP Ian.

The story that for many years was incorrectly said to be a last minute filler because the sets for Marco Polo weren't ready (not remotely true) has a fuzzy genesis, but it's largely to do with numbers, and the fact that the show itself might well be brought to an end. So this must be on script editor David Whitaker's mind as he writes the story that at one point might have been the very last anyone ever saw of Doctor Who. No guest cast, no new sets ... it's more a can of Is There Enough Information? Well, in true THTT style, your host has had a bash!

Well now, yer actual special guest this week is not only one of yer actual Doctor Who writers. Paul Cornell has been responsible for some pretty damned good Who himself so it's a joy to have him on board. The story he has chosen isn't really regarded as a classic or a clanger - it's meat and potatoes Doctor Who. Any yet... as we will discover, there's a reason that a lot of people like having meat and potatoes at every meal time. But the thing is, will Paul and host Toby Hadoke choose the same jersey royals at the same time, or does Paul say "potato" and Toby say ... um ... "a different potato"?

A host of monsters, Jo in love, and Pertwee cutting a dash amongst all the court intrigue. What is not to love? Doctor Who writer Paul Cornell is spoilt for choice so what will he choose as his favourite thing from this rare Pertwee foray into another world... How will host Toby Hadoke fare in this fight to the death with the story's champion?

You're not going to close even three of your eyes when watching this jolly adventure - the Ice Warriors are good, hey, even naughty Hepesh is well intentioned and the Doctor is in a fight to the death with Grun, the King's Champion ... and we like him too. The lines between good and evil are fuzzily drawn which makes for an intriguing adventure from which Doctor Who writer Paul Cornell needs to choose a favourite thing. Can host Toby Hadoke hypnotise him into choosing the same thing as he does?

Princess Josephine receives a right royal proposal in the final episode of The Curse of the Peladons.
That might be an in-joke just for your host. But Toby Hadoke won't choose Australian continuity announcements as his favourite thing as events in court come to a bloody climax. Bona fide proper TV Doctor Who writer Paul Cornell has two goes at choosing something and he only has to pick one of the same things as Toby and ... Toby will be the winner!!!! Could he achieve a rare victory? Or is he cursed?

If you gave your host Toby Hadoke £1 for every time he mentions the VHS compilation release of these story he'd be able to retire. There's much more to chat about though, as he and guest Jaye Butler Moore choose their favourite things about this story which has it all: foam, balloons, Ice Warriors of Hampstead Heath and ... those costumes...(!)

Excellent comedian and Torchwood podcaster Steffan Alun has chosen this memorable Matt Smith episode. but what Toby Hadoke fears the most is not guessing any of the same this as his guest in this positively inclined commentary podcast. Oh, and stay tuned right until the end as a key member of the team who made this episode also has his say.
