A Doctor Who Podcast
For this week’s Friday Night Who, we visit a Time Lord victorious in the form of the 10th Doctor David Tennant in the 2009 special The Waters of Mars.
We press play at Midnight CDT, and as always follow @TravelVortex, @VortexShaun, @VortexGlenn & @VortexKeith.
Keep an eye out for the hashtags #FridayNightWho and #TheWatersofMars!
Ah. That time of year when you can smell New Who on the air like the coming of Spring, and all my scheduling work goes out the window and has to be cobbled together last minute to take those new episodes into account. Oh well.
Tonight’s Friday Night Who (3/22) is part of our monthly celebration of the second Doctor, “The Mind Robber”.
Episode #117 of Traveling The Vortex is all things second Doctor, and will include our reviews of “The Mind Robber”, IDW’s comic “Prisoners Of Time 2”, Big Finish: Destiny Of The Doctor 2: Shadows Of Death, our look back over the 2nd Doctor Era for our 50th Anniversary Discussion, and, if Keith gets it read in time, his review of the book “The Moonbase”
Friday Night Who on 3/29 gears us up for the new season by revisiting Matt Smith in “The Impossible Astronaut” and “Day Of The Moon”…
…which leaves TTV #118 reserved to devote our full attention to “The Bells Of St. John”.
On 4/5 FNW revisits “Doctor Who: The Movie” in celebration of Daphne Ashbrook coming to Planet Comicon that weekend.
Look for updates all weekend long, (and maybe a few special exclusives too,) but we’ll give you the full scoop on Planet Comicon 2013 in episode #119, as well as start the month of April with our celebration of Jon Pertwee’s third Doctor by reviewing IDW Comic’s “Prisoners Of Time 3”.
FNW 4/12 is “The Waters Of Mars” with tenth Doctor David Tennant.
Because of the hugeness of Planet Comicon, you may have noticed we didn’t review the new episode of Who last week. Well fret not, because you’ll get a two-fer in Traveling The Vortex #120, covering both “The Rings Of Akhaten”, and “The Cold War”.
and the plot thickens…
In this week’s episode we continue our review of the specials, starting with Planet of the Dead and then The Waters of Mars.
Also, an update on Gallifrey 23 – Gallifrey One’s Network 23. We’ll talk about a few schedule changes at this year’s convention.
Plus, we weigh in on the speculation that Sophia Myles may join the cast of Doctor Who sometime next season.
And of course, your feedback.
Enjoy!

Then Friday Night Who on 1/20 will be the delayed Patrick Troughton episode “The Seeds Of Death”
Our 56th episode will be an Adversary Archive featuring the fearsome Ice Warriors, as we go back and recap the last three weeks with “Curse Of Peladon”, “Monster Of Peladon” and “Seeds Of Death”
To round out January, join us on 1/27 for Friday Night Who featuring the last David Tennant story, “The End Of Time Part 1 and 2”
