* REVISED! In order to give the Vortex Boys just a bit more time to get though all the Shada goodies, we’ve flip flopped two weeks on the upcoming schedule. City Of Death has been bumped back a week, and The Keys Of Marinus and Phantasmagoria move up one.
Once again it’s time to update you all on the joyous goodness coming your way. (Or the giggle inducing horror of it all, whichever you prefer!)
Tonight we’ll record episode #74, an Adversary Archive on The Daleks (again). Can’t help it they’ve just got so many episodes. We’ll discuss the Jon Pertwee stories “Frontier In Space” and “Planet Of The Daleks” that make up the Dalek war box set, as well as Big Finish #7 “The Genocide Machine (Dalek Empire 1)” with Sylvester McCoy.
Next week’s Friday Night Who on 6/1 is the Matt Smith story “The Eleventh Hour”.
And then, the big massive spectacular 75th epiversary is our first set of BOOK REVIEWS! Glenn will be sharing his thoughts on Crooked World featuring the eighth Doctor by Steve Lyons, Shaun reviews Only Human with the ninth Doctor by Gareth Roberts, and Keith talks about The Story Of Martha with the tenth Doctor by Dan Abnett.
June 8th’s Friday Night Who takes us back to William Hartnell’s First Doctor with “The Keys Of Marinus”.
On Traveling The Vortex episode #76 we’ll review “The Keys Of Marinus” and Big Finish #2 “Phantasmagoria”.
Friday Night Who on 6/15 is the Tom Baker classic “City Of Death” written by Douglas Adams!
For episode #77 is an explosion of Douglas Adams, as we cover “City Of Death” and ALL THINGS SHADA: Shada The Book, Shada The VHS Reconstruction, Shada The Animated Story, Shada The Flash Animation, Shada The Big Finish, Shada The Flame Thrower!
Colin Baker makes a return to Friday Night Who on June 22 with the story “Timelash”.
And then we’ll review “Timelash” and Big Finish #3 “Whispers Of Terror”.
FNW 6/29 is one of Shaun’s all time favorite stories, “The Android Invasion” with Tom Baker.
TTV #79 covers “The Android Invasion” and the BBC Radio drama: “Torchwood: Lost Souls”.
And our first Friday Night Who of June ( 7/6) is the awesome series one two parter “The Doctor Dances / The Empty Child” with Christopher Eccleston.
Wait! …what was that? Did you say TORCHWOOD was on the schedule again? Can that mean? Yep. It’s time to subject Keith to the glory of “Torchwood: Children Of Earth” which we’ll cover in episode 80.
As always, an amazing thank you to all of our amazing listeners for joining us on these travels. Thanks for putting up with us!
It’s always sad to report on a death, but this time seems especially hard for me for some reason. Actor Bernard Horsfall has died at the age of 82. He appeared in 14 episodes of Doctor Who spread over 4 story arcs, appearing with the second, third and fourth Doctors. His first appearance came in the 1968 story “The Mind Robber”, where he played Lemuel Gulliver in the Land of Fiction. He returned as the First Time Lord in “The War Games” and again opposite Jon Pertwee as Taron the Thal in “Planet Of The Daleks”.
