James and Trevor are in review mode this week as they tackle a recent box set from those bods at 2Entertain.

The Mara Tales set, comprising the stories Kinda and Snakedance from the Peter Davison era have been released in a shiny cardboard case. James has already laid his cards on the table numerous times in professing his love for these two snakey stories, but what does Trev think?

We also take time to review the first episode from the new series of Torchwood.

Also included is a bit of left over rambling from a recent recording session – all to do with some thoughts on Series 6.

We also draw the winner of one of our recent competitions.

Quite a packed episode this week, a mixture of reviews and some cracking interviews, bringing to a close the second of our special Big Finish related episodes.

James and Trevor review the first two stories from Big Finish’s range of 7th Doctor “lost” stories – Thin Ice and Crime of the Century. These two stories were to kickstart the proposed Season 27 in 1990, before the axe of cancellation fell on the series and the entire season was abandoned.

Now Big Finish have lovingly created these scripts in audio format so all Doctor Who fans can hear what might have been if Doctor Who continued in its televised form into the 1990s.

Find out what the boys make of the first two offerings from this very special series of releases from Big Finish.

We also have interviews with Sophie Aldred, who played Ace alongside the Seventh Doctor, and also in these new Big Finish audios. Also on the interviewing roster is Beth Chalmers, who plays the new companion Raine Creevey.

A jam-packed show this week asJames comes back to the campervan, having brought back from his holiday a lovely little painted shell from the seaside.

James shares his thoughts on the Doctor Who Experience with his co-host from the Dad’s Army Podcast, Oliver Crocker. Just what will you, ah, experience at the Doctor Who Experience?

We also review a book by author Alwyn W Turner, The Man Who Invented the Daleks. As the title cunningly says, it is a book about the life and times of Terry Nation, who contributed to Doctor Who and a wealth of other British genre shows.

We also have some copies of the book to give away in our most fiendish competition yet! Thanks go to Ross from the Creeping with Armstrong podcast for donating an additional prize as well.

Well, the good man has gone off to war (or has he), and has left the DWP Campervan at a sligthly loose end about just what to do for the next few months until he returns.

Luckily Chip from the Two Minute Timelord Podcast has some ideas on what we can occupy ourselves with, and in this episode he gets together with our Tom to provide some much needed analysis to what we have seen so far this year.

Join Chip and Tom for some fascinating insights and theories on just what this is all about.

The Doctor Who Podcast Episode #83: Review – The Almost People

I almost forgot to add this bit

It is almost time for you to listen to our review of The Almost People. Almost. All you have to do is read this little show note intro to our episode. You should be able to read either all or most of it. We are now almost half way through the show notes.

Unless of course you started downloading the episode before reading the shownotes, which probably means you are almost finished.

It is too confusing. Almost baffling. Just listen to our review of The Almost People, and see if you understand it. Most of it anyway.
