Episode 570 – Lost in the Dark Dimension

We mark the 60th Anniversary of Doctor Who this week with what could have been a 30th Anniversary special back in 1993. We are talking about the fabled Doctor Who lost media known as the Dark Dimension.

First, we look at a fan-made animated imagining of the special with Season 26B Productions’ Lost in the Dark Dimension.

We’ll also compare another fan production, Pharos Features’ Doctor Who: Dark Dimension, an audio drama presentation of the story.

We use these as a way to imagine what might have been and decide, in our minds what they might have gotten right and what they might have gotten wrong.

Plus we talk about the news of the week.

Enjoy!

Episode 442 – Beyond the Doctor: Spooky Time

In this week’s episode, we step away from Doctor Who just a bit to examine films that the actors who played the Doctor have starred in over the years. This gives us a chance to look at a greater body of work outside of the character we know and love. And, because it is almost Halloween, we decided to choose movies that could be considered a horror, a thriller, or just spooky in story and tone.

So this week we look at Fourth Doctor actor Tom Baker in the story anthology film, Vault of Horror and Ninth Doctor actor Christopher Eccleston in the Danny Boyle directed zombie film, 28 Days Later.

We hope you enjoy this little excursion.

TTV-Logo-1400-150x150In this week’s podcast, we review the final two part story that rounds out the Fourth Doctor and Leela’s foray into Big Finish audios. First it’s Trail of the White Worm, followed with The Oseidon Adventure.

We give our impressions on these two stories, and sum up the series as a whole.

Also, some news of the week, including a certain assumption that show runner Steven Moffat may be around longer than previously thought.
