The Doctor Who Podcast #202 – Interview with Louise Jameson

Posted by James - April 24, 2013 - Big Finish, Classic Series, Interview, Podcast

It’s another interview special! This time, James was fortunate enough to interview Louise Jameson on stage at the recent Big Blue Box 2 convention held in Tunbridge Wells. As many of you will know, Louise appeared as Leela in forty episodes of Doctor Who with Tom Baker back in the seventies. Louise was an absolute joy to speak to and fondly reminisced about her time on Doctor Who. Join her and James as she discusses Leela, Big Finish, Tom Baker, directing Katy Manning and her forays into writing and directing.

Thanks to Stephen Elsden, the Commander-in-Chief of the Big Blue Box conventions which are run in aid of Compaid – a charity providing services to disabled people in the South East of England.

The Doctor Who Podcast Episode #201 – Review of Hide

Posted by Trev - April 21, 2013 - Modern Series, Podcast, Review, Series 7

James and Trevor have the absolute hide this week to bring you their review of the new story Hide.

The review was recorded whilst hiding in their newly constructed duck hide, laying on the hides of at least 15 different animals. This new addition to the Campervan complex is called “The Hideout”, though you will neither hide nor hair of a mention of this on the official drawings.

So find your favourite hiding place, pop your earphones in and join James and Trevor in their discussion of Hide.

The Doctor Who Podcast #200 – Interviews with Malcolm Hulke and Terrance Dicks

Posted by James - April 17, 2013 - Behind the Scenes, Classic Series, Interview, Podcast

Two hundred! Two hundred episodes of THE Doctor Who podcast! One hundred and ninety-nine episodes since that review of The Eleventh Hour all the way back in 2010! Woo-hoo!

How then, should we celebrate such a landmark? What would be appropriate?! Hmmm. We at The DWP thought long and hard on this. There could be so many ways to celebrate this historic occasion and say thank you to our devoted listeners. We came up with a couple of ideas:

humming the Doctor Who theme for five straight hours
reviewing Delta and the Bannermen and Unicorn and the Wasp whilst inhaling helium
perform an entire podcast in morse code
doing a commentary track for Planet of the Dead.

We rejected these plainly insane ideas, and after much discussion finally made a decision. How about a never-before-heard interview with an iconic Who writer who sadly is no longer with us? A writer who assisted in giving us War Lords, Draconians, Silurians and Sea Devils?! Yes. Yes indeed. That might be just the way to go!

It is therefore with immense pride that The Doctor Who Podcast presents an interview with none other than Mr Malcolm Hulke!

But why stop there?! Mac, as he preferred to be called struck up a collaborative writing relationship with a man who also went on to become a Who legend in his own right. Why not interview him too and ask him about his memories of Mac? We therefore also bring you a brand new interview with Mr Terrance Dicks!

So, sit back and enjoy an hour in the company of Messrs Dicks and Hulke as they talk about the show they help immortalise, all in one juicy, celebratory edition of The Doctor Who Podcast.

Happy 200 everyone. You may now provide cake.

The Doctor Who Podcast #199 – Review of Cold War

Posted by James - April 14, 2013 - Modern Series, Podcast, Review, Series 7, The Doctor

Things get decidedly chilly in the DWP Campervan this week as Trevor, Leeson and James review the latest episode of Doctor Who – Cold War.

Yes, it’s the highly anticipated return of the Ice Warriors and our intrepid reviewing team revel in the opportunity to discuss a new Ice Warrior story.

To help prepare themselves for this episode, the boys sat in a cramped cupboard together for a week and poured water over their heads every three minutes whilst watching The Hunt for Red October on a continuous loop.

They talk about submarines, the 1980s, Russians and what, just what – precisely if you please – is the correct definition of a cyborg.

Be sure to tune in midweek for the 200th edition of The Doctor Who Podcast – we have something really rather special for you…..

As always, feedback is MOST welcome – send it to feedback@thedoctorwhopodcast.com.

Posted by James - April 7, 2013 - Modern Series, Podcast, Review, Series 7, The Doctor

James and Trevor are in the Campervan this week after tuning into watch the latest episode of Doctor Who, The Rings of Akhaten. They might even try to sing their version of the choral song used throughout the story. No, don’t worry, they don’t really. Or do they…..

So what did the DWP Campervan crew make of this episode? Innovative storytelling at it best or just plain strange?! There’s only one way you’re going to get to find out……
