Happy Times and Places 73.1 - The Time of Angels
Monday Jan 15, 2024
Monday Jan 15, 2024
OK, out of host Toby Hadoke's comfort zone again - here we are with some of the first ever Matt Smith stuff to be recorded. Oh yes, Toby remembers when Mr Smith was new - seems like yesterday! Joe Lewallen, a friend from across the Pond (not Amy), is a fabulous and fascinating guest, and instead of plugging something for you to purchase, he has asked to link to a very good cause, which we are more than happy to do:

Happy Times and Places 73.2 - Flesh and Stone
Monday Jan 22, 2024
Monday Jan 22, 2024
This is one of those episodes that rewards the eagle-eyed viewer, but it works on a purely entertainment level as well, as Toby Hadoke and guest Joe Lewallen discover (friends who've yet to meet, such is the manner of modern relationships). But will they choose the same favourite things about this gripping instalment : or do their different backgrounds mean they will approach it from opposing perspectives...?
A reminder of Joe's good cause:

Happy times and Places 74.1 - The Mind Robber 1
Friday Jan 26, 2024
Friday Jan 26, 2024
One of the earliest fans to research and write-up the history of the show, publisher and writer (and collector!) David J Howe has chosen this atypical tale from the back end of the Troughton era. There's not much to this episode - the regulars, a white void, and some stock costumes ... and so in true Doctor Who fashion, it turns out to be quite a remarkable instalment. But what to choose as its best bit? Well, escape from reality and find out :)

Happy Times and Places 74.2 - The Mind Robber 2
Monday Jan 29, 2024
Monday Jan 29, 2024
So, Jamie's off his face, Zoe's out the door, and the Doctor's in a pickle as they find themselves inside a peculiar forest inhabited by strangely recognisable figures. Like much of the best Doctor Who, a lot of this episode's contents were the product of necessity - and who better than Doctor Who historian David J Howe to be our guide through this inventive and imaginative instalment? Your host has chicken pox and has been replaced for just one week by a totally different Toby Hadoke, but you'd never know if you weren't told.

Friday Feb 02, 2024
Back in the Land of Fiction for the replacement of the replacement Jamie, some stop motion snakery, and another excellent contribution from historian and fandom legend David J Howe. He has to choose a favoutite thing from this instalment of Doctor Who - but will your host Toby Hadoke be able to anticipate what that might be and choose the same?

Zoe has a fight, we meet The Master (not that one), and there's some gorgeous imagery ... it's Episode 4 of The Mind Robber, the choice of writer, collector and Whostorian David J Howe. But what does he like best about this particular chunk of Doctor Who? Host Toby Hadoke has to guess.

Happy Times and Places 74.5 - The Mind Robber 5
Friday Feb 09, 2024
Friday Feb 09, 2024
What an interesting and odd story - let's see what David J Howe, fan historian and publisher extraordinaire, likes about it so much. The shortest episode of Classic Doctor Who has - because of your chatty host Toby Hadoke - provoked one of the longest episodes of this podcast. But that's what happens when you weave the facts of fiction..

Happy Times and Places 75.1 - The Curse of Fenric 1
Friday Feb 16, 2024
Friday Feb 16, 2024
Now come on, surely everyone likes this one. It's a classic! Allan Lear was one of the very first people to submit a contribution to Happy Times and Places, and we have finally got around to him. Well - we couldn't do all the classics first could we? And as an added bonus, a key conributor to the story joins at the end for some personal insights. But will all three contributors agree about what is the best thing about this story, or will they sink to the depths in a flurry of differing opinions?

It's not just Allan Lear and host Toby Hadoke scrutinising The Curse of Fenric for its best bits but Andrew Cartmel, the story's script editor, pops in to react to what they pick, and to give his own insights into the story's assets. An Enigma no more

Host Toby Hadoke missed this episode when it first went out - parents' evening at school. So a friend taped it and missed the first seconds of the opening titles. And THIS time around, it failed to load up on Britbox, then someone knocked on the door, then... oh, it's cursed I tell you, curse- oh.
