July 28, 2023 0 Comments

In anticipation of Neil Patrick Harris potentially being revealed as taking on the role of The Toymaker, we have decided to present to our listeners another Adversary Archive. We break down some stories featuring him. First, it’s Doctor Who: The Nightmare Fair, released as the first in the ‘Lost Stories’ series from Big Finish, We will be contrasting and comparing with the Target novelization written by Graham Williams who also wrote the script of the television story that was never made,

Then we look at the short story, The Game written by Warwick Gray, and was featured in Doctor Who Magazine issue 192.

Finally, we review the comic story, The Great Gamble from Doctor Who Magazine and written by John Peel.

And Keith brings us another ‘Something New, 2 Minute Review’ of ‘The Lost Stories: Daleks! Genesis of Terror’ from Big Finish.

Plus, we discuss several Doctor Who-related news items from the past few weeks.

Enjoy!

2015 Scheduling

December 20, 2014 0 Comments

As promised, heres a look at the finalized schedule going into the new year!

Our last Friday Night Who tweet along for 2014 is on 12/26, the Christmas Story “The Next Doctor” with David Tennant.

And our last show review for the year will be all about the newest Christmas Special, “Last Christmas” with Peter Capaldi.

HAPPY 2015!

We’re a little late to celebrate the year of the snake, but then again, time has always been a little Wibbly Wobbly round here. So our first Friday Night Who of the new year on 1/2 is the fifth Doctor story, “Kinda”.

We review a pair of fifth Doctor audio stories in TTV #210, Big Finish #44 “Creatures Of Beauty”, and #66 “The Game”.

Then on 1/9 we present the second Mara story for FNW, “Snakedance”.

TTV #211 is an Adversary Archive on The Mara, and we’ll tackle both stories “Kinda” and “Snakedance”.

FNW 1/16 is Matt Smith in “Victory Of The Daleks”

And a quick turnaround for more Paul McGann audio in TTV #212, as we listen and start the Big Finish 8th Doctor Adventures #1, “Blood Of The Daleks” and #2 “Blood Of The Daleks Part 2”.

FNW 1/23 is one we’ve been trying to get to for a while, William Hartnell in “The Sensorites” Part 1-3.

Here we change it up a bit. Remember two years ago when we did a specific Doctor breakdown for our the run up to the 50th anniversary? And last year we did the E-Books each month to continue that celebration? Well we’re doing it again this year, with a twist! TTV #213 is something we’re calling Beyond The Doctor: William Hartnell. Instead of reviewing an episode, we’ll be discussing his role in the motion picture Carry On Sergeant! We hope to do a different staring roll for each Doctor each month all year long!

We’ll finish “The Sensorites” Part 4-6 on 1/30 for Friday Night Who.

and then TTV #214 has our reviews of “The Sensorites” as well as Big Finish #85 “Red”.

After that? Well it’s the start of Con season for us, with Gallifrey One and Kansas City Planet Comicion looming on the horizon, but we’ll have something hammered out for you all by then! As always thanks for listening and following along, and we’ll see you in the vortex…
