June 8th saw a pair of Whovian Birthdays slip past, both Carole Ann Ford (72) who played the Doctor’s granddaughter Susan Foreman through the first ten story arcs, and Colin Baker (69), who of course was the sixth actor to play the doctor. We wish them both the happiest of birthdays.
A short one this week as we take a look at the six part The Keys of Marinus story featuring the First Doctor, Ian, Barbara, and Susan. Then we give the Fifth Doctor and Turlough a listen in the Big Finish audio drama, Phantasmagoria. And Keith gives a full review of the Playstation 3 game, Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock.
Also, some discussion about Shaun’s new dream job, and a certain publicity photo that was released this week by the BBC.
And of course, your feedback.
Enjoy!

Congratulations go out tonight to Steven Moffat who picked up his BAFTA for “outstanding creative writing contribution to television”. Moffat was presented the award tonight by none other than Eleventh Doctor – Matt Smith and Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch.

Late again this week, but it’s finally here. In this week’s episode of Traveling the Vortex, we look back over the last few weeks of stories reviewed and focus on the rogues and renegades of Doctor Who. We focus our attention on The Meddling Monk, The War Chief, Omega, The Master, and The Rani. Also how The Doctor, and perhaps even Rassilon fit this title.
Also, our take on the news of the week, and of course your feedback.
Enjoy!

We apologize for our tardiness this with this week’s episode. Once again life gets in the way of fun and enjoyment here at Traveling the Vortex. Due to unforeseeable events, this week’s show is delayed. We hope to be able to record our Rogues and Renegades review tonight (Tuesday) and have the show on the feeds by tomorrow (Wednesday). Thanks for your patience.
