The Doctor Who Show

Whotiques Roadshow – Complete set of HARDBACK Target novels

For those of you who are unaware, Paul Scoones is the man behind the legendary New Zealand Doctor Who fanzine, Time Space Visualiser. He's also one half of the team who tracked down a missing episode of Doctor Who - specifically 'The Lion', a missing episode of the William Hartnell story 'The Crusade', back in 1999. He's the author of the excellent 'The Comic Strip Companion', dealing with Doctor Who comics, and he's also written the infotext subtitles on many of the classic era Doctor Who DVDs you've watched.

Rob sits down with Paul and asks him to choose an item from his extensive collection for the Whotiques Roadshow. Paul selects a complete set of Doctor Who Target novels with a delightful twist... they're all in hardback. This leads the two on a discussion of the Target novels in general, what attracted Paul to the hardbacks, their value, plus what came later in the form of the Virgin New Adventures and Missing Adventures, BBC 8th Doctor and Past Doctor ranges, right up to the current BBC New Series Adventures.

The Doctor Who Show S01 E10

0:00:00 Theme tune & Doctor Who chat with Rob @theDWshow and David @DkWedgetail

- The Doctor Who Show has been deconstructing itself. You could say it's now the podcast feed that's the show and former segments will now run as their own episodes during each month.

- We've been making Class review episodes. They're on the feed. Have you heard them?

- The Return of Doctor Mysterio. We discuss this year's Christmas special via the sneak peak video that's been released, commenting on super hero themes and Matt Lucas.

- Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. Rob and David are both avid fans of Samuel Barnett and have a talk about the new series from BBC America. Have you been watching it?

- Four new Doctor Who books are coming out... but not the books you were expecting! These are based on the Mr Men books for Doctors 1, 4, 11 and 12. Why does Rob think 12 is nude?

- Three novels based on Class are being released, too. We'll review them sometime.

- Matt Smith's new mega-budget series, The Crown, is about to drop on Netflix.

- Discussion of confirmed Series 10 writers, plus a classic era writer still un-named. Who would Rob and David like to see return to write the show? Also, what ancient world location will the new series take us to? Steven Moffat has confirmed we'll be going... somewhere.

- Power of the Daleks is getting a big screen release in Australia and New Zealand, but will it look any good? Will newcomers to this style of animation think it was worthwhile?

- David raises the question, "Is The Two Doctors Robert Holmes' worst Doctor Who script?"

- David announces his new podcast relating to The Goodies. Find more information about it on Twitter @pirategoodiespc or on Facebook at facebook.com/PirateGoodiesPC

- Friend of the show, Miles Northcott, is starting an episode commentary / improvised comedy podcast called Doctor Who's Line Is It Anyway? Find more information about it on Twitter @drwhosline or on Facebook at facebook.com/DoctorWhosLineisitAnyway

59:55 The Garlics - Ian has been shot by a Garlic with a vodka ray & is now inebriated. The Doctor has just been interrogated & has been returned to the cell. This is a short clip to give you a taste of a forthcoming episode of Doctor Who's Line Is It Anyway?

The Doctor Who Show S01 E09

0:00:00 Theme tune & Doctor Who chat with Rob @theDWshow and David @DkWedgetail

– David’s finished his New Adventures collection, leading to a discussion of the NAs, Target novels, the cost of postage from the UK, Doctor Who Magazine and collecting in general.

– Rob’s watched Tom Baker in The Hound of the Baskervilles from 1982, also featuring Barry Letts as Producer, Terrance Dicks as Script Editor and Caroline John as Laura Lyons.

– The rise and rise of Madman Entertainment.

– David’s watched some episode of THE DALEK MASTERPLAN and has some thoughts for fans on sitting back and just enjoying a good story.

– Star Trek is 50 years old and David’s wondering what the world would be like if there were missing episodes of the original era of Star Trek, in the same way Doctor Who is still missing episodes.

– Class. David digs up some new information on the show and even tunes into a repeat of a live stream Q&A that reveals quite a bit of news about the forthcoming series, including Peter Capaldi’s role.

– Steven Moffat denies John Barrowman claim he’s blocking the return of Torchwood to television. Is there a backlash against Barrowman, and is there a difference in attitudes depending on the country?

– POWER OF THE DALEKS. What did we get right and wrong from Episode 8? Is it in colour? Has the omnirumour taken a battering over it?

– Karen Gillan’s costume in Jumanji starts a controversy. Is it sexist? How is it different to Lara Croft’s? What is the context in the film, anyway? Even the Rock has to get involved.

– Listener email from John Hole. Discussion of which Australian locations and actors would be appropriate for Doctor Who.

– Listener question from Rob at 42 to Doomsday. “Name the encounter with a Doctor Who actor/production member that still gives you the happiest memories and why.” Rob tells a Katy Manning anecdote and David relates a story about Sophie Aldred. Plus more memories.

- Listener email from Philip Bull. What did he make of Episode 7 of the show?

- Discussion of 'Class' - the Doctor Who spin-off that's almost upon us, yet how much do we really know about it even at this advanced stage? When's the trailer going to drop?
