Happy Times and Places 46.2 - Survival 2
Friday Nov 04, 2022
Friday Nov 04, 2022
The last episode you host, Toby Hadoke, saw go out live - for reasons that will be explained. Who is on the Cheetah People's menu and how many of them have been Toby's neighbours? And why is Anthony Ainley smiling like the cat who has got the cream? Will special guest Ben Cook get in a flap about Survival, or will he and Toby agree on this story's best points?

Happy Times and Places 46.3 - Survival 3
Monday Nov 07, 2022
Monday Nov 07, 2022
And so it ends... the very last episode of Doctor Who to be broadcast during its original run. And it might all be host Toby Hadoke's fault. Ben Cook is far too young, as he proves when he ages himself in this podcast - but that is nothing, Toby recently worked with someone who was born the day after this episode was shown - and that person now has children and a house and everything. What!?!. Anyway, let's watch to see if the show goes out with a bang - and will Ben and Toby agree, or will they fight like animals?

Happy Times and Places 47.1 - The Girl in the Fireplace
Friday Nov 11, 2022
Friday Nov 11, 2022
Snogging, Booze, Love - that's not what Doctor Who is about! Is it? Well, this tuned out to be a very popular episode, but will comedian Kathryn Mather - from a different generation a female perspective - appreciate the same things as host Toby Hadoke, or are they doomed to be forever separated by fate, time, and history?

Happy Times and Places 48.1 - The Dominators 1
Monday Nov 14, 2022
Monday Nov 14, 2022
Well, even our guest admits that this isn't even one of his favourite stories, so host Toby Hadoke might well have out work cut out singing the praises of this Troughton story everyone seems to try to forget about. Said guest, by the way, is only the writer of Full Circle, Andrew Smith! He's canon! So he has set Toby the challenge of accentuating the positives of The Dominators and who is he to refuse? Command accepted!

Happy Times and Places 48.2 - The Dominators 2
Friday Nov 18, 2022
Friday Nov 18, 2022
So there's a pair of giant turtle men and their pet malevolent box-children sucking up the radiation from a planet inhabited by peaceful men dressed in ballgowns. What's not to love? Well, quite a lot according to general fan opinion. So can Full Circle writer Andrew Smith and host Toby Hadoke find a peaceful solution to the problems of The Dominators?

Happy Times and Place 48.3 - The Dominators 3
Monday Nov 21, 2022
Monday Nov 21, 2022
The TARDIS crew are on another planet but they aren't having much of a chance to play away as the council of Dulkis seem unable to defend themselves against the might of two men with very large shoulder pads and some squeaky robots who can destroy anything - inlcuding a hitherto happy relationship between a pair of writers and the BBC. A troubled production then - but is it one that Full Circle writer Andrew Smith and I can find some common ground on?

Indefinable Magic 20 - Defining The Magic
Wednesday Nov 23, 2022
Wednesday Nov 23, 2022
These Indefinable Magic monologues are usually the result of writing, re-writing, recording, retaking, re-jigging and finally assembling. That's why they take a long time. However, something was needed for Doctor Who's birthday and this is the result - one go, one take, a word avalanche which attempts to capture the essence of the indefinable magic that Doctor Who possesses. It's entirely personal and barely structured (no time for a pilot to show what the mistakes are) but it's a celebration of a programme that started exactly 59 years before the release of this podcast. It's not perfect, it's a little rough, but it has great music and hopefully it's entertaining and quite fun: so a bit like Doctor Who then.

Too Much Information 4.2 - The Singing Sands
Friday Nov 25, 2022
Friday Nov 25, 2022
There's a problem en route to Kublai Khan's palace both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. There's a sandstorm to negotiate in Studio D, but a key cast member falls in requiring a hasty change in direction. But they're a doughty lot who can improvise their way out of trouble, even if not everybody is on the same wavelength. On screen antics mirror off screen drama as Doctor Who's first lost adventure continues...

Happy Times and Places 48.4 - The Dominators 4
Monday Nov 28, 2022
Monday Nov 28, 2022
Well there's plenty of fun to be had here if your like exploding buildings and the destruction of cute robots. And two men arguing a lot whilst trying to remain dignified under big shoulder pads and tassled limbs. The Doctor is trying to save the planet Dulkis - but only inside. Outside, it's fair to say, he is not quite himself. Will Andrew Smith (a genuine Doctor Who writer who has written loads for Big Finish and, of course, TV's Full Circle) choose the same best thing about episode 4 as your host Toby Hadoke, or is their power running out?

Happy Times and Places 48.5 - The Dominators 5
Friday Dec 02, 2022
Friday Dec 02, 2022
We add a bomb to the bickering in part five of The Dominators, and muse at what might have been had this had the planned sixth instalment. Full Circle writer Andrew Smith has been a terrific guest - will the positives be shared between host and guest or will the differences of opinion be seismic? Hopefully there'll be a peaceful solution...
