Episode 385 – Following Our Nose

In this week’s episode of the podcast we review two offerings from Big Finish.

First we join Retired Captain Mike Yates for Companion Chronicle 3.10 The Magician’s Oath. This one, written by Scott Handcock features Richard Franklin delivering an adventure with Jo Grant, The Brig and the Third Doctor.

Next, we head back to the planet Peladon for the Companion Chronicle story 4.3 The Prisoner of Peladon as told by its King and played by David Troughton. Hear what we thought of this latest installment into the Peladon Saga this time written by Cavan Scott & Mark Wright.

Enjoy!

Episode 245 – All Praise the Great One

TTV LOGO NEWWhew! After some tense moments this week, we are finally able to bring you this week’s show. Following a few computer crashes, recovery of files, recording of some new ones, and a bit of editing wizardry, another podcast is in the books. This week, we surmount the curse and bring you our review of the Third Doctor’s final story, Planet of the Spiders. We share our opinions of the end of an era for the show. And be sure to stick around after the credits for a special piece by Dr. Phil of the Adventures in Time Space and Music podcast as he explores some of the music of Planet of the Spiders.

Also, we give our impressions of the recently released trailer for the first story in Series 9, The Magician’s Apprentice. We also chat about the announcement that River Song will return in time for Christmas, and more in the ongoing saga of the release of the Second Doctor story, The Underwater Menace to DVD.

And, of course, your feedback.

Enjoy!
