The Doctor Who Podcast Episode #43: Part 2 of the DWP Retrospective of the Second Doctor, Patrick Troughton

"When I say run, run!"

Last time, on the DWP.... Trevor and Tom began their look at the second Doctor, and got as far as the end of his first season. In this episode we move onto his second, and arguably most popular season to see what lies within. We also hear fromJames, and Luke from theMinute Doctor Who Podcast with a review of the DVD release of the Troughton story, The Dominators.

It’s all about time…..

Hi. James here. On discovering that I co-present a podcast, the friends and family who show any interest inevitably ask at some point, 'well, just how long do you spend on this'?! My answer is usually quite brief and goes something like, 'well Trev and Tom do all the editing, so not much'! And for the most part, that is absolutely true. However, for DWP #39, Tom and I sent Trev on holiday and we got stuck into reviewing two of the most derided classic who stories of all time - Revenge of the Cyberman and Silver Nemesis. What we thought of the DVD set you can hear on the podcast, but what I wanted to talk about here was the preparation required for this, 45 minute podcast. Read more

The Doctor Who Podcast Episode #42: Part 1 of the DWP Retrospective of the Second Doctor, Patrick Troughton

Oh my giddy aunt!

If there was a Doctor that many commentators said inspired Matt Smith in the creation of his Doctor's persona, it was one Patrick Troughton, the second Doctor. Trevor and Tom explore the era of this most brilliant of Doctors in the first part of our retrospective of his work before, during and after his time on Doctor Who. In this first part, we look at his time before Doctor Who, and cover his first season in 1966. Stay tuned, for later in the week we release the second part of our series on Patrick Troughton, the cosmic hobo.

The Doctor Who Podcast Episode #41: Tom and James and their Amazing Adventures at the Whooverville 2 Convention

or.. Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with some companions

Tom and James went on a works outing last week up to the wilds of Derbyshire to see what was going on at Whooverville 2, the convention that boasts being the only such event run in an engine shed. And they are right (we checked). Tom was lucky enough to be the on-stage interviewer for second Doctor companion and all round screamer Deborah Watling. Deborah played Victoria Waterfield alongside the 2nd Doctor from 1967-1969. With the kind permission of the Whooverville bods we bring that interview to you in this episode. The boys also managed to back Sophie Aldred (or Ace to her legions of fans) into a corner and ask her some questions. And to round off the day, Tom intimidated a Dalek.

Run for your life!

A very packed episode this week. First up is an interview with Alex Day, musician and pioneer of Trock, Time Lord Rock. We talk about the whole Trock movement, and listen to a few of Alex's tracks. Next up is an interview with Peter Jewell, who has emptied his cupboard of all his Doctor Who memorabilia and put them on display for all to see. Trevor talks with Peter about collection, collections and what to collect. Last up this episode is a piece we couldn't quite squeeze into last weeks Big Finish review ep. In response to a listener email the team lay their cards on the table and talk about their favourite Big Finish audios, and the audios a new listener needs to get their ears around, pronto!

The Doctor Who Podcast Episode #37: Review of the Big Finish “Jamie” trilogy & Barnaby Edwards interview

Does my backside look big in this kilt?

With no new Doctor Who to keep us busy, thank goodness that Big Finish keep providing us with audio releases to delight our ears during these lean months. The team focuses their attention to reviewing three audios that saw the return of Jamie McCrimmon to the Doctor Who universe. City of Spires, Wreck of the Titan and Legend of the Cybermen. We also have a fantastic interview thatJames conducted with Barnaby Edwards. Whilst he talks about his involvement with this trilogy, he also shares some hightlights of his extensive CV. We would put a copy of his CV up for you to look at, but it would overload the internet.

The Doctor Who Podcast Episode #36: The Proms, Creature from the Pit and some geeking

When in doubt, geek out!

Tom and Trevor are in the caravan this week and thought it was time for the DWP to start one of their quite famous geek outs. We did then quite a lot back when we were with the DWO WhoCast, so it only seems fitting to start them on the DWP. We discuss the recent release of the Creature from the Pit DVD, the Doctor Who proms, and just what is a companion? We also try and stump each other with some devlishly difficult Doctor Who quiz questions.

The Doctor Who Podcast Episode #35: Interview with Ryan Hendrick

Tom finds himself alone in the campervan this week and takes the opportunity to blow the dust and cobwebs off an interview he recorded at the Fab Cafe event in Manchester in June. 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 more in this episode of the DWP. Check out Episode 18 of The Doctor Who Podcast for more from this event. In this ep Tom talks to Ryan Hendrick, who is the driving force behind a superb new fan film, Besieged. Tom talks with him about how he put it together, and some promising news for the future.

Yes, stuff has happened in the Doctor Who world that doesn't involve Matt Smith!
