Happy Times and Places 49.1 - The Sea Devils 1
Monday Dec 05, 2022
Monday Dec 05, 2022
Well, there was something in the air... well, alright, in the sea (and on the land... so actually not in the air at all). And that something was the Sea Devils because of course they recently returned to Doctor Who. So I thought why not remind ourselves how they were originally done? And they were done well, as convention organiser and writer Steve Hatcher attests. He has a few personal connections with the story too, so will that make it easier or harder for host Toby Hadoke to identify his favourite things...?

Happy Times and Places 49.2 - The Sea Devils 2
Friday Dec 09, 2022
Friday Dec 09, 2022
This has it all - a bit of comedy, a lot of character, and Roger Delgado looking pretty spiffing as a naval officer. Add to that some comedy wiring, an epic sword fight and the famous rebranding of the Silurians as the equally inaccurate Eocenes and there's a lot to talk about ... even before we get to Jabba the Hutt. But will special guest Steve Hatcher choose the same things as your host - Toby Hadoke - when it comes to nominating the best thing about this episode?

Happy Times and Places 49. 3 - The Sea Devils 3
Monday Dec 12, 2022
Monday Dec 12, 2022
The Doctor and the Master end their sword fight, the Master makes contact with his allies, and Donald Sumpter gets something in his eye. It's time to dive beneath the surface and see what special guest Steve Hatcher likes about this particular instalment of The Sea Devils, and whether your host Toby Hadoke agrees with him.

Happy Times and Places 49.4 - The Sea Devils 4
Friday Dec 16, 2022
Friday Dec 16, 2022
Well now, there's a lot of submarine chat which hopefully propels the conversation into interesting waters, and there's also a very welcome actor fact relating to one particularly likeable performer. But what do we think guest Steve Hatcher will like about today's instalment? There's plenty to choose from ... but not, alas, a safety catch.

Happy Times and Places 49.5 - The Sea Devils 5
Monday Dec 19, 2022
Monday Dec 19, 2022
The one instalment of this story is easy to overlook - because it's between the prison stuff and the final battle. There is loads to enjoy here though, including Sea Devil deaths, Sea Devil cloaks and Sea Devil eyes. And a guest star with lots of interesting stories to tell... if only host Toby Hadoke would stop interrupting himself. What will Steve Hatcher choose as his favourite thing, and can he and Toby get through the episode without wanting a full English breakfast...?

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...?

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... :)

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 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).

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.
