The Doctor Who Show

Rob and Dave from the Doctor Who Show podcast review episodes of the BBC series (and Doctor Who spin-off), Class.

This week: Co-Owner of a Lonely Heart

April starts to feel greater effects of sharing her heart with Corakinus, and is troubled by her newfound power. Meanwhile, something sinister is invading the streets.

Rob chats to Sophie Aldred about the audio series, Strangeness in Space, and the current crowd-funding for its two-part season one finale. Along the way they talk Doctor Who (of course!) and more.

If you liked this interview, why not support the crowd-funding of the new Strangeness in Space episodes? There's a stack of great rewards.

And, as always, you can write to us: hello@theDWshow.net

Strangeness in Space is written by, and stars, Saturday morning TV legends Trev & Simon, along with Dr Who’s Sophie Aldred, working with award winning producer Clare Eden. The first FOUR episodes are available now for you to hear for FREE! Listen directly to an Mp3 or via iTunes. It reached No6 in the iTunes comedy charts; has been nominated by fans for three awards in the Audio Verse Awards, and The Guardian listed it on "50 Podcasts You Need To Hear".

- 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?

1:02:00 The Letter Lords – Jim @KrynoidPodCast & Bob @BoFleming discuss letters, texts and tweets sent to Doctor Who Magazine as well as the wider magazine itself

This week: For Tonight We Might Die

When Coal Hill School comes under attack from deadly monsters, four alienated students must form an unlikely alliance to defeat them. But this incursion is only the beginning.

David sits down with Richard to discuss a screen-worn Ace earring from Remembrance of the Daleks. How did Richard get it? What was Sophie Aldred doing in Australia? How is the convention scene changing in Australia and overseas? Is there a big market for Doctor Who props? What other props has Richard seen out there? All of these questions, and more, will be answered on this first standalone edition of the Whotiques Roadshow.

Originally transmitted as part of The Doctor Who Show on this day, we've now extracted the Doctor Who A-Z segment into its own standalone episode here.

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.
