For this week’s Friday Night Who we return to the 3rd Doctor’s era for Frontier in Space! It could be part of an upcoming archive….**SPOILERS**

Join us at Midnight CDT and look for the hasttags #FridayNightWho #& #FrontierInSpace

In this week’s episode we explore another Adversary Archive, this time with a look at The Rani. We review two classic stories, first the Sixth Doctor’s encounter with The Rani in The Mark of the Rani. Then we tackle the Seventh Doctor’s first story in Time and the Rani.

Then stick around after our portion for a look at the music of these two stories, brought to you by Dr. Phil from Adventures In Time, Space and Music Podcast.

Also, a look at this week’s news, and lots of feedback from our listeners this week.

Enjoy!

 

As mentioned in Mark’s feedback, the Marmite Rice Cakes!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The malevolent Rani returns for this week’s Friday Night Who. This time in the 7th Doctor’s first story, Time and the Rani.

We press play at Midnight CDT! Follow @travelvortex, @vortexshaun & @vortexkeith and look for the hashtags #FridayNightWho and #TimeandTheRani on twitter for all the fun!

On this week’s episode of Traveling the Vortex, we take a brief step out of the time vortex for a review of The Sarah Jane Smith Adventures, Series 2.

Also, it was superhero day for Keith and Shaun with a weekend trip to Omaha, Nebraska for Comic Book Day to meet “fake” Adam Baldwin (they swear he was real, but I’m still skeptical) then back to Topeka for a screening of The Avengers on the night of the “Super Moon”.

Also, a little spoiler action, as we talk Daleks in the new series. YOU’VE BEEN WARNED!

And of course your (er, Holly’s) feedback. Enjoy!

Tonight’s #FridayNightWho features the sixth Doctor, Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant as Peri in #TheMarkOfTheRani.  Please join us on Twitter and check in through GetGlue, we push play at midnight CDT!

Oh, and maybe we should beg @SawbonesHex and @thenicolabryant for a few re-tweets since they’re both on twitter? Be nice!

Greetings from the protectors and defenders of the vortex, with another homework update for those of you following along at home…

Friday Night Who this week on 5/4 is “The Mark Of The Rani” featuring the sixth Doctor, Colin Baker, and Peri.

Show number 71 is a comprehensive review of The Sarah Jane Adventures, Series 2.

5/11 sees Sylvester McCoy’s seventh Doctor return to Friday Night Who in his first story, “Time And The Rani”.

Our show that week (#72) is an Adversary Archive on The Rani, as we cover “The Mark Of The Rani”, “Time And The Rani”, and… sigh… I suppose we’ll feel obligated to mention that “Dimensions In Time” thing… again.

FNW on 5/18 jumps back to the third Doctor Jon Pertwee with “Frontier In Space”, the first story from the “Dalek War” box as it’s billed in North America.

And finally, our true discussion of all these Rogue Time Lords gets underway with Traveling The Vortex #73 as we discuss the life and times of The Meddling Monk, The War Chief, Omega, The Rani, The Master, and the Doctor himself in our adversary archive on Rogues and Renegades.

The last Friday Night Who of May, (5/25) concludes the Dalek War box with Jon Pertwee in “Planet Of The Daleks”.

And of course, what would episode 74 be without a horde of homicidal robots running amok? Our fourth Adversary Archive on the Daleks will cover “Frontier In Space”, “Planet Of The Daleks”, and Big Finish #7 “The Genocide Machine”

And beyond May?  Well, if all goes well expect a discussion on all things Shada, the return of Tom Baker to the schedule, our first Doctor Who book reviews, and more…

Hotel rooms for the 2013 Gallifrey One: The 24 Hours Of Gallifrey One just got harder to find.  While organizers insist rooms not only at the Marriott but surrounding hotels are still available, the ENTIRE block of discounted rooms set aside for the Con went on sale yesterday, and sold out in an hour, despite only being available to members who preregistered for the con who were notified via email.  Just goes to show the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who is going to start with a bang…

Read more about it on the Gally website.

And no, Shaun does NOT have his reservation yet. Sadface.

In this week’s episode we continue our look at Gallifrey’s baddies in our continuing overview of rouge Time Lords. This time it’s the co-creator of Time Lord society, Omega. We’ll first take an in-depth look at the Fifth Doctor story, Arc of Infinity, and then a review of the Big Finish Audio production of Omega.

Also, we get a tad off topic (what else is new?) and ponder a curious dichotomy in the Pooh-niverse. Plus, a peek at the news going on this week surrounding our favorite series.

And, of course, your feedback.

Enjoy!

Please join Traveling The Vortex in wishing Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures creator Russell T. Davies a very happy 49th Birthday today.  Huh, he’s the same age as that OTHER show he worked on for a while!

And apparently today is also the birthday of NEW Doctor Who companion Jenna Louise-Coleman. (Can someone PLEASE update the Tardis wiki page with all these new series birthdays! LOL) Happy 26th birthday!

For this week’s Friday Night Who we continue our look at Rogues and Renegades with Peter Davison’s Arc of Infinity.

We hit play starting at Midnight CDT!
