Friday Night Who 7/20/12

What is Friday Night Who?

Well, as an impromptu tradition that started accidentally, we watched a Doctor Who episode late one Friday night back in April of last year.  I commented to Glenn that it felt like the old days, when we used to watch Who on KCPT (one of our local public television affiliates that used to show omnibus editions of Doctor Who).  We decided to revive the tradition with a modern twist.  In addition to watching the episode, we’d tweet-a-long to it with other Whovians on Twitter.  And so, Friday Night Who was born.  It’s a fun way to share moments, thoughts and experiences with the Doctor, and make some new friends to boot.

Tonight is Jon Pertwee in Death To The Daleks, which was just released on DVD in North America last week. Join @vortexglenn, @vortexshaun, @VortexKeith and @travelvortex on twitter for the live commentary, and look for the #FridayNightWho and #DeathToTheDaleks hashtags. We push play at midnight, CDT!

As we enter into July, a few updates on the vortex schedule for those who like to follow along at home…

Friday Night Who on 7/6 will be eleventh Doctor Matt Smith fighting the weeping angels in the two part “The Time Of Angels” & “Flesh And Stone”.

Two new DVDs release on the tenth of July. We’ll cover both of them:  On 7/13 Friday Night Who covers second Doctor Patrick Troughton in “The Krotons”.  Our show that week (#81) sees our reviews of “The Krotons” and Big Finish #4, “Land Of The Dead”.

And then the following week we’ll cover the second release for July. FNW on 7/20 is “Death To The Daleks” with third Doctor Jon Pertwee and Sarah Jane.

Episode #82 becomes another Dalek archive, with reviews of “Death To The Daleks” and two Big Finish audio adventures, #11 “The Apocalypse Element” and #15 “The Mutant Phase”.

We round out july with a return of some fourth Doctor to our plates, as Friday Night Who on 7/27 is “The Horns Of Nimon” with Tom Baker and Romana II.

TTV #83 is a Nimon archive, with our reviews of “The Horns Of Nimon” and Big Finish #30, “Seasons Of Fear” featuring eighth Doctor Paul McGann.
