The Doctor Who Podcast #421 – Warning! Geekout!

Play

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Subscribe: RSS

Join James and Michele for an unplanned, unscripted episode of the DWP! Mainly because we didn't find the time to record the content for the *scheduled* Episode 421!

Inevitably with this presenter pairing, conversation heads towards Big Finish, but then takes an unexpected turn into the use of comedy in Doctor Who! Jump on the board and enjoy a cosy fireside chat about when comedy has worked at other times, fallen flat.

Most importantly, don't forget to check out Ian's Just Giving page and donate - as this episode goes live, Ian has just seven sleeps until he undertakes the London Marathon! That's a whole lot of running.....

Enjoy!

It's only a week to Christmas!! Here in the DWP Campervan, we are getting into the Christmas spirit - by watching films that remind us of this wonderful time of year. However, given its impossible for us to sustain conversation about films (or indeed ANY subject) without refencing Doctor Who, James, Brent and Phil draw parallels between the films they've selected with Doctor Who stories! Can you guess the Who connection before they do?! It won't be hard....!

We'll be back on Sunday with our review of the Finale to The War Between The Land and the Sea, and then again in just a few days time ON CHRISTMAS DAY - with our own very Christmas Special! If the BBC can't provide a Doctor Who Christmas celebration, then we will! Hooray!

Enjoy the madness! :-)
