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.

"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.

This one is the real... deal.

It certainly has been a busy week here at DWP Towers, quizzes and commentary tracks keeping the 50th episode celebration week ticking nicely along. We have saved the best for last though - episode 50 is now yours to enjoy, and there is a lot to enjoy in this little file! First up is an interview with the Seventh Doctor and soon to be Lord of the Rings Wizard, Sylvester McCoy.

Back in the studio, the boys review the Seventh Doctor's first adventure, now unleashed on DVD - Time and the Rani. This much maligned story has been given the 2Entertain deluxe DVD treatment and we look at the release and the story itself.
