Episode 418 – Outside Continuity

February 14, 2019 0 Comments

In this week’s episode of the podcast, we take a journey to another part of a project that almost was. This time we review the Sixth Doctor and Evelyn story, Real Time, which was a BBCi venture along with Big Finish for the web. We discuss the visual story and the audio version that was released shortly after.

Also, some awards news.

And, of course, your feedback.

Enjoy!

Early Spring Schedule (Or, The Groundhog Lies Like The Doctor)

February 11, 2019 0 Comments

As winter continues to keep most of us in its icy grip despite the prognostications of a certain rodent who is on my list right now, we present the next bit of scheduling or a few things to do while you try and keep warm:

Tonight (2/11) we’ll record our thoughts on the “animated” audio adventure “Real Time” for TTV 418.

TTV #419 offers up a couple of Big Finish Companion Chronicles: 5.5 “A Town Called Fortune”, and 5.7 “Peri and the Piscon Paradox”

Alternate Who in TTV #420 as we return to the world of Torchwood with Titan Comics “Torchwood Vol 2”, and Big Finish “Torchwood: Fall to Earth”.

The month of March kicks off with our thoughts on Big Finish #115 Forty-Five for TTV #421. 

 A long-delayed book review finally hits in TTV #422: Doctor Who and The Krikkitmen by Douglas Adams and James Goss

TTV #423 has some more Big Finish with mainline story Big Finish #120 “The Magic Mousetrap”

Discussion topic time as we tackle the idea of Desktop Themes and The Evolution of the Console Room for TTV #424. This also happens to be Planet Comicon Weekend, so we’ll give you a few highlights of that. 

TTV #425 starts off April with Big Finish Short Trip 9.01 “The Revisionists”, and Andy Frankham-Allen, keeper of the Lethbridge-Stewart flame, drops by for an exclusive interview and update on the state of the Brigverse. 

Another long-delayed book review in TTV #426 as we take a look at Lethbridge-Stewart The Laughing Gnome: Fear of Web by Alyson Leeds. 

My goodness. More Big Finish? It’s almost like we were building up to something… TTV #427 has our take on mainline story  #121 “Enemy of the Daleks”.

Am I Blu? With three classic series Blu-ray box sets available, we take a look at whether or not it’s worth upgrading in TTV #428.

And a not so long-delayed book review hits in TTV #429, as we take a look at the just-released Doctor Who Meets Scratchman by Tom Baker.

Yes, that’s a lot of Big Finish and books we’re tackling in a three-month span. But rest assured, constant listener, there is a method to the madness and a master plan behind it all. On the horizon? That would be telling…

Happy New Schedule!

December 31, 2018 0 Comments

A Couple of quick revisions and updates as we look out into the wilds of 2019…

For TTV #413 (which will be recorded late on Wednesday due to the premiere of the New Year’s special) we’ll take a look at Resolution (S11x11). 

We flip-flopped a couple of weeks here, so this is the seventh Doctor gets some love for TTV #414. We’ll take a look at the recent Titan Comics mini-series Operation Volcano, and Big Finish #109 The Death Collectors / Spider’s Shadow 

Another Candy Jar Book Review in TTV #415 with Lucy Wilson Mysteries: Curse of the Mirror Clowns by Chris Lynch 

Back to Big Finish to start 2019 in TTV #416 by finishing off the 8th Doctor Adventures Season 3, #7 The Eight Truths, #8 Worldwide Web 

 And something we’ve been looking forward to for a long time finally comes to fruition in TTV #417 as we look at the BBCi and Big Finish co-production of “Real Time”. We’ll be covering both the 90 minute animated webcast version, AND the extended audio for comparison.

That gets us into February with TTV #418, a look at the book Doctor Who and The Krikkitmen by Douglas Adams and James Goss.

As always, thanks for sticking with us!

Don’t worry, we will do a little something special for Christmas, we just don’t know what yet.

For TTV #413 we celebrate the New Year with the as of yet untitled New Year’s episode (S11x11) 

Back to Big Finish to start 2019 in TTV #414 by finishing off the 8th Doctor Adventures Season 3, #7 The Eight Truths, #8 Worldwide Web

Another “short schedule” post, as we edge ever closer toward the start of the new series, we don’t want to get too far ahead of ourselves and have to change it.

*NOTE – This schedule can change at a moment’s notice with new series information.

This week’s TTV #395 is a pair of Book Reviews: Lethbridge-Stewart: The Lost Skin by Andy Frankham-Allen, and the short story Cow Pats and Comfort by Tim Gambrell (from the LS Quiz Book) 

 In TTV #396 we’ll take a look at Big Finish 4th Doctor Adventures Series 3: #1 “The King of Sontar” and #2 “White Ghosts” 

Titan Comics returns to our line up in TTV #397. We’ll finish off the10th Doctor Year 3 with issues #11 – 14, AND take a listen to Big Finish 10th Doctor Adventures #1 “Technophobia”. 

 TTV #398 has some more Torchwood action. Titan Comics Torchwood Vol 2 and Big Finish Torchwood #2: “Fall to Earth” are on the docket.

 TTV #399 is a real treat, in real time. We’ll listen and watch the Big Finish audio and BBCi versions of “Real Time”. 

 A big epiversary looms! Time for some fun and games in TTV #400 with Doctor Who Fluxx (LIVE!) AND some GIVEAWAYS!

Candy Jar Books is back in TTV #401 with a Book Review of the start of the next phase, Lethbridge-Stewart The Laughing Gnome – Scary Monsters by Simon Forward.

And that takes us into October when the fabled new season is set to start, so we’ll pause there. Again, thanks to everyone for checking in. 🙂
