Doctor Who is fabulous

A couple of weeks ago Tom got a day pass from the DWP campervan and went on a bit of a field trip. He visited beautiful downtown Manchester to take part in the Fab Cafe event being held there.

Fab Cafe is a wonderful little bar/convention location which occasionally plays host to guests from the world of Doctor Who. Tom was lucky enough to speak to a few of the guests, and it is our pleasure to present some of these interviews in this episode of the DWP.

First up is Rob Shearman, most notably the writer of the episode that brought the Eccleston Doctor face to face with the Daleks. He has also written for Big Finish and recorded audio commentaries for the official DVD box set releases.

Tom also spoke to Charlie Ross, who has provided many extraordinary character voices for the Big Finish range.

Tom, James and Trevor are in the caravan (all at the same time!) to review the latest episode, Amy’s Choice.

This is an episode not to miss, as it turned out to be a very lively and entertaining conversation about this most interesting of episodes.

The fan reaction to Vampires in Venice is on our mind this episode, and joining us in the DWP Caravan is Simon from theWaffle on Podcast.

Simon, James and Trevor look over what the you thought of the episode.

We also play the feedback from the DWP listeners and their thoughts on this episode.

They aren’t all evil, you know

Big Finish recently released a fantastic trilogy of audio dramas, loosely called the Klein Trilogy. They all share a common character, Klein, a Nazi officer, who was first introduced in the Seventh Doctor audio, Colditz, released in 2001.

The character is back for this trilogy, and the Doctor Who Podcast has a look at these releases – A Thousand Tiny Wings, Survival of the Fittest and The Architects of History.

James provides some background to the Klein character and reviews Klein’s first story, Colditz, whilst Tom and Trevor talk about the recent trilogy. Trevor also had the chance to chat with John Ainsworth and Alex Mallison, two of the creatives involved with this trilogy.

Lucky they didn’t land in the Australian outback…

Vampires. Rory. Amy. The Doctor. Pick which one of these is not in the latest episode the Doctor Who Podcast boys are reviewing this week – Vampires of Venice.

Trevor and Tom mull over their thoughts on this excitingly soggy adventure in beautiful Venice.

The Myths and Legends box set also gets a look over. Contained within are the stories The Time Monster, Underworld and Horns of Nimon. Worth the purchase? Find out in this ep!

The multi-talented songstress Laura from the most superb Oodcast Podcast join Tom in the DWP Campervan to look over the fan reaction to the finale to the two part story – Flesh and Stone.

Laura and Tom sift through the forums and message board reaction to this story, and also play listener feedback.

Once you have listened to this episode, you wouldn’t go far wrong by dropping over to the Oodcast website and sampling their wares. It’s worth the journey.

The DWP team leaveJames along in the campervan this episode so he ropes in Seb from the Dr Who Online Website website to keep him company.

James and Seb look at the fan reaction fo Time of Angels. Just what did the fans think of the episode, and canJames and Seb find anyone who thought the episode was awful?

And as always, we cover the Kooky Fan Theory of the Week!

Before we look at the fan reaction to Time of Angels, we would like to share with you a fantastic interview Tom conducted with Writer, Actor and Comedian Toby Hadoke recently, right after a performance of his fabulous one man show, Moths Ate My Doctor Who Scarf.

Not so much an interview, but an entertaining and free-wheeling chat with the man who lays his geekness bare on stage each night for all to see.

Join Tom as he chats to Toby about a number of interesting, and surprising subjects.
