Too Much Information 4.3 - Five Hundred Eyes
Monday Jan 09, 2023
Monday Jan 09, 2023
It's the third instalment of Marco Polo - William Hartnell is back to full health, but whilst history proves this to be one of the most admired Doctor Who stories, all that the press can talk about is the Daleks... although we get the first ever public indication that being a member ion the TARDIS crew is not a permanent gig. Even less permanent is one of the key crew members, who leaves this week after some "creative differences"...

Happy Times and Places 52.1 - Silver Nemesis 1
Monday Jan 16, 2023
Monday Jan 16, 2023
Oh, so it's the "other" anniversary story. The one that people don't seem to talk about so much. Writer, artist, Dalek Prop expert, podcaster and all round renaissance man Gavin Rymill chooses what he describes as the "least popular" (according to the last DWM poll) Cyberman story. It's not one that's ever been high on host Toby Hadoke's list of Who's greatest achievements but will he learn to stop worrying and love the Nazis ... and the mad woman ... and the Cybermen ... and all that jazz? Well, he has to, that's kind of the point of the podcast.

Cyber gloves! Skinhead facts! An excellent tree! It's not always plain sailing accentuating the positive points of this relatively uncelebrated celebratory story, and your host Toby Hadoke might not always be successful this time around. But he tries! And there is plenty to like - especially as super guest Gav Rymill is a fabulous advocate for all that is great about this Cyber-Nazi-LoonyWoman fest.

Happy Times and Places 52.3 - Silver Nemesis 3
Monday Jan 23, 2023
Monday Jan 23, 2023
Things pick up a bit after last week (which was a bit of a struggle) and obviously Gav Rymill and host Toby Hadoke are united in their adoration of the universally admired comedy scenes featuring Delores Grey ... ahem. Well, maybe not, but they are actually spoiled for choice for favourite things in this action packed finale to the 25th Anniversary celebration story.

Happy Times and Places 53.2 - Black Orchid 1
Friday Jan 27, 2023
Friday Jan 27, 2023
Esteemed science fiction journalist Steve O'Brien has chosen this odd little story as his pick of the list of stories that take him to his Happy Times and Places - times and places involving cricket, fancy dress, screwdrivers and murder! The show's first pure historical for many years, there's something fishy going on at the buffet and Nyssa is seeing double, but what will be chosen as the best thing on offer here? One thing's for sure : we will try to have a hoot! Howzat??

Good laugh and excellent writer Steve O'Brien (or is it his uncanny double?) has chosen this historical interlude into the otherwise science-heavy Davison era as the story he would like to celebrate. What will he like best - the fact that the police sergeant is Odysseus from The Myth Makers? The slight overkill of trying to open a locked door by setting it on fire? Or maybe the line "strike me pink"? Who knows? Well, Steve does...

Happy Times and Places 54.1 - The Seeds of Doom 1
Friday Feb 03, 2023
Friday Feb 03, 2023
It's off to the Arc... the Antarc... the snowy place for one of your host's favourites : as chosen by one of his favourite collaborators, Chris Chapman : Doctor Who blu-ray documentary director. The setting is cold, and so is the Doctor, but there's a chill in the air as well, thanks to director Douglas Camfield. But for some, this isn't quite Doctor Who ... well, it's fair to say that "some" are not in accord with your podcasters as Toby and Chris pretty much love every minute of this... (apart from Moberley's flapping beard).

Ooh it's all a bit grown up and gritty. But fortunately, your host Toby Hadoke likes his Who grown-up and gritty (well, as grown-up as a show about a time traveller in a police box can be) and so does his brilliant guest, documentary maker Chris Chapman. But what on earth will the choose as their favourite thing in a story with an embarrassment of riches...?

One of the patron viewers, many of whom started to watch along with this commentary so buoyed were they by its enthusiasm, described the Seeds of Doom as "The Sweeney has a love child with The Avengers". Oh yes, that sounds about right. But will host Toby Hadoke and guest Chris Chapman enjoy the Avengers stuff best, or the Sweeney vibe? Get yer trousers on, y'er in a Doctor Who story!

What a wonderful episode, it's so violent. The Krynoid has touched human flesh which is bad news for Keeler, but it is great news for your host Toby Hadoke and his guest Chris Chapman (the man behind some of the best DVD and Blu-ray extras) who are spoilt for choice. Oh, and apropos of nothing - "Scooby - get Dunbar!".
