Scheduling, Post Ponds…
As we approach the run up and end of Amy and Rory’s travels with the Doctor, despite our sadness, the show must go on. Here’s a look at what’s in the pipeline for after Pond…
Friday Night Who for 9/28 features the tenth Doctor David Tennant and Martha (long time no see!) in the Steven Moffat penned, “Blink” in (celebration?) of the return of the Weeping Angels.
Traveling The Vortex episode #92 will include our reviews of “The Angels Take Manhattan”, a mini retrospective of the season so far, and of course, a few tears at the farewell of Amy, Rory and new favorite Brian.
Fifth Doctor Peter Davison returns to Friday Night Who on 10/5, fighting the grim reaper and the Great Plague in “The Visitation”.
Better bring the ear plugs for episode #93. Not only will we cover “The Visitation” but we’ll have a deep discussion (and probably a little arguing) over the most over-used item in Doctor Who: The Sonic Screwdriver. Handy tool? Or a convenient get out of jail free card?
10/12 brings first Doctor William Hartnell back to Friday Night Who in “The Rescue” of Vicki.
We step away from televised adventures for episode #94 and return to the Big Finish audio series with three more stories featuring Charlie Pollard and Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor – #31 Embrace The Darkness, #32 The Time Of The Daleks, and #33 Neverland
Friday Night Who on 10/19 continues where we left off with Hartnell in “The Romans”.
Traveling The Vortex #95 will have our reviews of “The Rescue” and “The Romans”.
And then it’s time for Halloween! In our second annual “Hide Behind The Furniture Scary” edition of Friday Night Who on 10/26, we’ll introduce Keith to Tom Baker fighting a homicidal dummy and a giant rat in the fourth Doctor classic, “The Talons Of Weng-Chiang”.
But is it REALLY a classic? Traveling The Vortex #96 might just challenge that thinking as we cover “The Talons Of Weng-Chiang”.
And after that? Still shaping up, but I will say the K9 archive is VERY SOON to follow, along with another season of Sarah Jane… leading up to our all-star 100th epiversary…
