Welcome back.
Toby Hadoke's Time Travels has been on holiday. Thanks for bearing with its much needed rest and recuperation.
But now... it has returned with something brand new. Indefinable Magic, whimsical essays based on some aspect of the show, has decided to turn its attention to the new Doctor Who episodes as they are broadcast. There will be so many podcasts doing brillinat work reviewing and reacting to the new episodes, so we thought we'd do something a little different. Your host Toby Hadoke has reacted to his first viewing and written down his thoughts on a particular aspect of it, and how it affects his love of Doctor Who and all sorts of other related stuff. So rather than being a blow-by-blow account of each episode, it is his reaction to the instalment in question, but in a more circumspect and all-encompassing manner than a straightforward review. Something different then, but hopefully enjoyable, interesteing an good humoured.
This episode, after Space Babies, considers the nature of 'new" in a long running show with a vast old past, and muses on how tricky it is to keep a show fresh without bending it so out of shape that it is unrecogniseable.

After a hiatus you get two episodes on top of each other. So it seems only appropraite to do the same...
Indefinable Magic Bite Size are immediate reactions to the latest Doctor Who episodes, but instead of being straightforward reviews they consider an aspect of the fresh adventure and use it to examine life, fandom and Doctor Who in general.
Tonight, with the Fab Four (well, two of them) svaing the day and - of course - a twist at the end, your host Toby Hadoke looks at the Beatles and music in Doctor Who in general to see how the use of popular tunes has changed over the years and what they bring to the show. And he talks about mix tapes, recording off air, and tryng to get down and funky in the bedroom to Malcolm Clarke's Sea Devils score.

Right, come on Hadoke, do some new series stuff were you don't have the comfort blanket of 50 years of acquired trivia. Fortunately this edition's special guest - columnist and writer Jonn Elledge - is smart and interesting so will make up for any of you host's many deficiencies as they look at John Simm in disguise, Mondassian Cybermen, and a big bloody hole in Bill.
In a bit of exciting timey-wimeyness the episode starts with Jonn from the future plugging his new book, A History of the World in 47 Borders, which is out now.

He's not the Messiah, Steven Moffat, and sometimes he is a very naughty boy. But he's definitely a writer whose work deserves a closer look - an explosive (ahem) talent whose scripts can be mined (ahem, ahem) for subtext and jokes (boom boom!). But what did Boom have to say about faith? And should it be taken at face value? Or is there actually more in common with religiosity and Moffat's scripts than might first appear? Faith, hope and landmines in the latest instalment of these bite size musings inspired by the latest episode of Doctor Who. Not reviews remember, just thoughts, which simply aim to appreciate the episodes in a slightly dfferent way.

Good Lord. Look at the size of this one Doctor.
Jonn Elledge - who has a book out right now - has chosen Peter Capaldi's pre-regeneration story which says goodbye to Bill and Nardole (well, for a bit), has two Masters vying for our attention (not to mention three different kinds of Cybermen) and arms its humans with exploding apples. Laughter, tears and explosions in this tense climax (of sorts) to the Moffat/Capaldi era - Jonn and your host will do their best (because that's all one can do isn't it?) to be up to the task of celebrating it.

The past and the future both catch up with us quicker than we'd like. Toby's response to 73 Yards is a contemplation of fear and just how Doctor Who is scary. It also examines the nature of the unexplained and has some personal recollections of childhood fears that reflect the themes and methods of this sparse and spine-chillling instalment. As ever: this is not a review as such, just a way of looking at the story in a certain light and musing on related topics.

That fantastic documentary maker Chris Chapman only happens to have chosen one you host Toby Hadoke's favourite stories : so this is very much a love-in as the two of them get green fingered - pulling out the weeds, nurturing the precious components and displaying the glrouius blooms of The Seeds of Doom for all you listeners. But will they agree on what the best things are about this story: well, even if they don't, they could ceratinly play this story all day in their green cathedral.

Remember - these podcasts are not intended as reviews or value judgements on the latest episodes of Doctor Who. They are audio essays based upon some aspect of the story and weaved into a - hopefully - thoughtful and sometimes humourous monolgue.
Dot and Bubble could provoke discussions about all sorts of different subjects, but for this edition of Indefinable Magic we will stick our heads into the world of social media. It's not just the denizens of Finetime who distract themselves from reality by spending their lives in a curated online world. Doctor Who fandom does a lot of its appreciation of the show online too, and the Dot and Bubble has plenty to say to us about chums, chat and chapping in cyberspace.

This one has been done as originally broadcast - as a pair of feature length episodes. So it's two things per instlalment that have to be chosen by special guest Ed Stradling. It's a story controversial for its tone and content, and one that would have an impact and influence on the future of the show. And for your host and Ed, it's one that they both made a documentary about, so there's a little extra perspecive on the VAM as a nice bonus.

So, what to we do when we don't like an aspect of a Doctor Who story? Well, we are Doctor Who fans, so we behave utterly rationally of course. For this episode of Indefinable Magic, the way in which we are drawn to criticise the thing we love comes into the spotlight. Is there such a thing as objectively good and bad, and who has the monopoly on saying what "true" Doctor Who is? As ever, these are attempts to rationally examine an aspect of the show and the fan experience, and are not intended as vehicles for criticism or value judgements on a particular episode.
