Happy Times and Places 41.2 - The Parting of the Ways

It is a parting of the ways between the Doctor and Rose but will it be a meeting of minds between host Toby Hadoke and guest Jenny@bluebox99 (that's Jenny with a "y" by the way). There's only one way to find out...

Happy Times and Places 42.1 - The Power of Kroll 1

A host of familiar faces populate the swampy environs of Delta Magna's moon, but one of them is green and another is scowling. Writer and journalist Ian Winterton has chosen an oft neglected slice of Doctor Who - and what will he choose as his highlight of the first part of our visit to one of the show's wettest locations?

Happy Times and Places 42.2 - The Power of Kroll 2

The swamps get swampier, the rain gets wetter and Philip Madoc gets grumpier... but what's this? Doctor Who's biggest monster yet? Why does no-one walk about this story? Writer Ian Winterton and host Toby Hadoke fly the flag for no-one's favourite Doctor Who story. Hail Kroll. 

Happy Times and Places 42.3 - The Power of Kroll 3

So things aren't looking too clever for our heroes, whilst the rest of the cast valiantly (depending on where they are) (a) try to maintain some shred of dignity whilst painted green or (b) try to inject some life into proceedings whilst looking at a monitor in a hastily constructed computer panel. Not all of them are successful. But come on, it's got big green tentacles and Tom Baker being silly, so surely writer Ian Winterton and host Toby Hadoke won't be stuck for things to enjoy here?

Happy Times and Places 42.4 - The Power of Kroll 4

So there's a wobbly set and the main villain is killed off very early on in the episode, but host Toby Hadoke still can't bring himself to be down on the Power of Kroll. But will he choose the same things to love as our guest, writer and journalist Ian Winterton? I mean, they're not exactly spoilt for choice, are they? Or is that blasphemy (if so, then by all means have us eaten by a tentacle)?

Too Much Information 3.2 - The Brink of Disaster

Well, there aren't many sets and those that are are in the TARDIS, there are no new actors among the cast, and we don't have any drafts, storylines, or even much production paperwork. So here is, literally, everything we know about The Brink of Disaster, including a detailed biography of its director Frank Cox. 

Happy Times and Places Omnibus - The Two Doctors

Cannibalism, Spain, Melting Sontarans, Servalan, Johnny Ringo, Blood, Gore, Murder ... The Two Doctors has it all. But is there some of it that it shouldn't have had? Host Toby Hadoke and guest Matt Hayden throw themselves into this controversial fare like two gourmands at a feast. Just don't ask them to pay the bill...

Happy Times and Places 43.1 - Human Nature

Wonderful idiot Paul Litchfield is the guest on this affectionate look at one of the modern classics of Doctor Who. What will be to his liking - the murder of a young girl, public schoolboys being racist, or our hero advocating capital punishment. Oh yes, there's much to recoil at in this episode, and all of it something that shows the dark side of...ahem... human nature. But Paul and host Toby Hadoke are jovial fellows so there's light amongst the darkness. Unless that is, they aren't quite being themselves...

Happy Times and Places 43.2 - Family of Blood

This one gets quite serious but, frankly, it is an extraordinary episode. Paul Litchfield - comedian, actor, vocal genius - is on hand to provide some much needed frivolity. But let's face it - this is a slice of Doctor Who that provokes much conversation: and host Toby Hadoke can certainly provide that, even in a room on his own: the motormouth.
