If rumor and speculation are true this week’s series 8 episode has scenes that were filmed in Lanzarote, so we thought it was only fitting we watch the other story filmed there “Planet of Fire”
Friday Night Who continues along with Series 8, and since the second episode of the season is called “Into The Dalek” we figured it would be fitting to do a Dalek story this week, and since we recently did “Resurrection of the Daleks” it makes sense to do Colin’s installment “Revelation of the Daleks” series.
In this week’s show, we head back to France in the 1600’s for the Big Finish audio play The Church and the Crown. This one features The Fifth Doctor, Peri and Erimem. We share our impressions on this historical depiction of the King, the Cardinal and the famous Musketeers.
But first, the new lines of Doctor Who comics launched last week, and we have copies of The Tenth and Eleventh Doctors’ stories. We review the Titan relaunch to the series as well, featuring new companions for brand new adventures.
Plus, our reactions to some of the news items of the week.
In this week’s podcast we finally get around to reviewing the story that much of fandom has panned and constantly finds its way at the bottom of “best of” lists.
However, we decided to give a fair chance to the Sixth Doctor and Peri story, The Twin Dilemma.
Find out whether we judge the story as harshly as the populace, or if we come down on the side of favor.
Plus, a look at another of the 50th anniversary e-book releases, Something Borrowed, also featuring The Sixth Doctor and Peri and the return of a favorite villain.
In this week’s show we FINALLY take a look at a story that has always been held in high esteem by fans of Doctor Who. We evaluate the story The Caves of Adrozani, featuring the Fifth Doctor and Peri.
We’ll break it down and examine some of the finer points of the story.
Also, a look at the news of the week, including more guest announcements from LI Who, and the possibility of The Five(ish) Doctors coming to DVD sometime soon.
And, of course, your feedback – including Rachel’s visit to Pop Con over the weekend.
Come celebrate Valentines Day and commiserate with other NOT at 25 Years Of Galifrey One with a story featuring some of the guests, “The Mark of the Rani”

In this week’s show we look at two Sixth Doctor stories, starting with the first in our four week examination of Trial of a Time Lord – The Mysterious Planet. Next the sixth installment of of the IDW series Doctor Who: Prisoners of Time. We’ll fill you in on our thoghts on both.

In this week’s show we look at the Fifth Doctor story, Planet of Fire, as we say goodbye to Turlough and hello to the stunning Peri. Then we continue the adventure with Five and Peri in the Big Finish audio story, Eye of the Scorpion.
Also, a little announcement from the Vortex Boys regarding the next Doctor and a look at other items in the news this week.
Tonight for Friday Night Who we visit the fifth Doctor and Turlough, say goodbye to Kameeilion, and introducing Peri as the Doctor… er, sorry, still have “The Name Of The Doctor” on the brain.
I mean we introduce Peri to team Tardis.
And what an introduction it is. Tame by today’s standards, but Nicola Bryant sure set the hearts of the fan boys racing at the time. Don’t know what we’re talking about? Then be sure to join us on twitter for the conversation, follow @travelvortex, @VortexKeith, @vortexshaun and @vortexglenn and look for the #FridayNightWho and #PlanetOfFire hashtags.
