Episode 477 – A Christmas Carol, Revisited

December 22, 2020 0 Comments

In this episode we go way back to the beginning, No, we’re not talking An Unearthly Child, The First Doctor, or even the beginning of Doctor Who itself.

We go back to our beginnings and revisit the very first Doctor Who material that we ever reviewed, Ten years ago, and way back in Episode 1 we gave you our thoughts on A Christmas Carol featuring the Eleventh Doctor.

And now we tell you what we think of the story all these years later.

 

Enjoy!

Episode 367 – A “Moffatspective”

January 29, 2018 0 Comments

A month has passed since the official end of tenure, and we thought we’d take a look back at the “Grand Moff” Steven era. We take a retrospective look at Steven Moffat’s time as showrunner on Doctor Who with a look back at Seasons 5-10.

Also, big news from Big Finish with the announcement of more Tenth Doctor stories and a reunion of sorts by the original Torchwood crew.

Enjoy!

TTV-Logo-1400-150x150

We are fresh back from all of the weekend excitement of Planet Comicon in Kansas City, Missouri.  Hear a recap of our experience at this wonderful convention on this week’s show.

Also, we had a chance to host a panel at the convention featuring Caitlin Blackwood, the actress who played young Amelia Pond on Doctor Who. And if you listen closely, you might recognize a surprise guest to the panel as well.

With us out of the loop this week, we have no news to report and react to, but be assured, we will be playing catch-up for next week.

And, of course…er.. well… there was no feedback either, so, never mind.

Enjoy!

“Pond Life” Mini Prequel Announced

August 23, 2012 0 Comments

The BBC has revealed five Doctor Who mini-adventures will be released online next week ahead of the new series.  Last season we got five “Night And The Doctor” minisodes that showed us life in the Tardis between the televised adventures.  This season they’ll act as a prequel to season seven.

According to CultBox.com:

Available on the official Doctor Who website and the BBC’s YouTube Channel, “Pond Life” is written by Chris Chibnall and will feature Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill, plus “some unexpected surprises”.

Says Chibnall: “Pond Life provides us with a lovely opportunity to catch-up with Amy and Rory since we saw them at the end of the last series. It opens with the Ponds at home and gives us an insight in to just what happens when the Doctor drops in and out of their lives. Travelling with the Doctor is one of the greatest things you can do, but it’s fun to spend a few moments looking at the chaos he can also bring.”

The first episode of Pond Life will be available to watch at noon on Monday August 27th, with new instalments released each day until Friday, August  31st.

More details can be found here.
