No sooner had the recent Gallifrey 22 convention finished that we heard of the sad passing of Nicholas Courtney, most famous for playing Brigadier Alastair Lethbridge Stewart in the classic series of Doctor Who.

Nicholas gave so much to the program whilst playing the Brig that it would be remiss if we did not spend some time looking at the his contribution to Doctor Who.

Join us as we reminisce over the life and times of Nicholas Courtney.

WhilstJames and Trevor were at the Gallifrey convention recently, they challenged the fine folk at the Staggering Stories Podcast to a quiz showdown.

So, in the early morning of a typical Gallifrey convention day, the stage was set. Two teams, a set of microphones, and a willing and eager audience ready to cheer their side on to victory.

Hosted and presented by quizmaster Chip from the Two-Minute Time Lord Podcast, listen now to the two leviathians going head to head to claim the ultimate prize of quiz champion.

This week it is our great pleasure to bring you an interview with a man you may be familiar with. He holds the record as the longest serving editor of Doctor Who Magazine. He has written for Big Finish, The Sarah Jane Smith Adventures and Comic Relief. When he isn’t writing, he is contributing covers to the Big Finish audio range, or the 2Entertain range of DVDs. In his spare time he moderates the DVD commentaries on such releases as The Time Meddler and Frontier in Space.

He found time in his diary to speak toJames on an incredible variety of subjects, presented here in an hour long interview.

This is the last episode of the Doctor Who Podcast for the next two weeks or so. Trevor and James will be in Los Angeles this week at the Gallifrey 22 convention. As well as meeting each other face to face for the first time, they hope to secure interviews for you with the guests.

For those going to the convention, come up and say hi and get a Doctor Who Podcast ribbon (today at the convention, tomorrow on eBay!).

“I must know what happens when The Doctor Who Podcast touches human flesh”

When we are not recording the latest amazing episode of The Doctor Who Podcast, the titanic trio are on the DWP forums marvelling at a thread that has grown, Krynoid like, since Matt Smith took over the reigns as the Doctor.

The thread in question is the Who is River Song thread. In this magic part of the forum, our members have been wondering, discussing and disecting various theories, information and flights of fancy over who the character of River Song really is.

We thought it was time the podcast weighed in our ideas as well as discussing the ideas already present.

To round off the episode, James and Trevor review the DVD release for a classic Tom Baker story, The Seeds of Doom.

Keep those questions for the Gallifrey convention quiz showdown, details of who to send them to are in this episode.

The Mott is in the house! (campervan)

It is our great pleasure to bring you at The Doctor Who Podcast an interview with Wilfred Mott himself, Bernard Cribbins.James was lucky enough to speak to him recently.

Bernard’s time with Doctor Who stretches back as far as the second Dalek movie – Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150AD, all the way up to his most memorable Who role as Wilfred Mott, grandfather and sometime comapnion to the David Tennant Doctor.

In the rest of the podcast, Tom and James geek out about companion mix ups. What if Adric was a companion to the 9th Doctor? How would Nyssa fare alongside the Matt Smith Doctor?

Gallifrey 22 is not far away, and the DWP team needs your help! Full details are in the show.

Well, its certainly turning into a busy week at the DWP Campervan!

Trevor is back, and he has some things to say about the Christmas Special!

Stay tuned also later this week for an episode devoted to your feedback on the Christmas Special.

The first offering from the DWP Campervan for 2011 is the latest instalment in the mighty tussle that is the DWP Quiz.

Trevor, the perennial loser, is quizmaster again, relishing with gleeful delight his temporary power ofJames and Tom.

A titanic struggle of the wills not to be missed. Please note – this episode was recorded in late December 2010.

Now what else would any self-respecting Doctor Who podcast be doing this time of year?

Apart from fighting over the last scraps of christmas turkey and filling the recycle bins to overflowing with paper, James and Tom also review the Doctor Who christmas special for 2010, cunningly titled A Christmas Carol
