Welcome to this, the 12th Hitchhiker's Guide to the Whoverse: Mostly Harmless Cutaway. Today Eric & special guest co-host Josh Zimon (@whomeJZ) break down the newest, latest, and greatest Doctor Whoepisode The Hungry Earth. Josh was an acquaintance we made at Gally 21 & we're so glad we did because it was a delight to have him appear on our show today .

"It's terribly kind of you, Fox, but no – I'm going to have lunch with a gruffalo." "A gruffalo? What's a gruffalo?" "A gruffalo! Why, didn't you know? He has terrible tusks, and terrible claws, And terrible teeth in his terrible jaws." "Where are you meeting him?" "Here, by these rocks, And his favourite food is roasted fox." "Crumbs, I'm off!" Fox said. "Goodbye, little mouse," and away he sped. "Silly old Fox! Why's he so manic, Doesn't he know the best motto's..."

T minus 2 days until The Hungry Earth.

Welcome to this, the 11th Hitchhiker's Guide to the Whoverse: Mostly Harmless Cutaway. Today Eric & special guest co-host Cat (@fancyfembot) break down the newest, latest, and greatest Doctor Whoepisode Amy's Choice. Cat is the hostess & creater of theSci-Fi Party Line Podcast where they talk about a currenty sci-fi in movies & television. Never fear, Megan should be returning soon as she got caught in a stray time eddy.

WARNING: This review/discussion contains very dreamy SPOILERS, ahh-choo!

Thanks so much to James (@JamesNaughton), co-host of the Doctor Who @Podshockpodcast for providing this episode's intro. He's one of the kindest, most jovial, benevelont people you could ever meet in person. We certainly feel his contribution puts the York in our Peppermint Pattie. Never have you met a kinder more sincere chap in person. Please follow the twitter links to check out their podcasts although chances are you already have because they're the oldest, longest running, & most downloaded Doctor Who podcast to date.

Disclaimer: Now here's the part where we list some of Eric's pathetic factual gaffes in this week's ep, or as we like to call them: 'Intentional' production errors or Easter Eggs: 1) Eric incorrectly refers to actor Toby Jones (The Dream Lord) as Tom Jones. 2) Eric calls her Mrs. Potter rather than Mrs. Poggit. 3) When Eric was referring to the wonderful violin piece composed by @murraygold he incorrectly pointed toward Rory's exit scene. While it too contains a wonderful piece of music, it is a piano which is heard prevalently at that point. The piece with the violin is actually played backing the beautiful kiss scene - Oh my hearts -

Disclaimer: We're finally getting on track back here in the editing bay. We had a few hardware hiccups, but things are really falling into place.

Please keep it coming as it's been pretty slim pickens since Victory of the Daleks. Just because it seems like you wrote & sent something in ages ago and we don't get to it doesn't mean we won't.

TT #17 Dalek Restroom Cutaway May 02, 2010

TARDIS Tavern #17: Dalek Restroom Cutaway

With a little help from our friends...

Podcest is such a wonderful thing; That interconnection we all share as part of the Doctor Who Podcast Alliance. We were recently listening to our pals Steve & Sean's latest TARDIS Tavern podcast. Since its inception back in November '09, their program has been steadily growing, improving, & finding it's own place among the pantheon of WHO 'casts out there now. This Blue Guy thuroughly enjoyed their recent Dalek potty humor sketch & immeditately asked for permission to publish it here on the Guide to the Whoverse feed for all of you to enjoy should you partake. This is only a small excerpt however, the bulk of this episode is actually a half druken review of the Second Doctor's first story Power of the Daleks. Honestly it was, but a mere coinicdence that the 'Two WHO Drool' just happened to preselect reviewing this classic story right on the heels of the newest Dalek story Victory of the Daleks airing.

Be sure to listen to the entire TARDIS Tavern Episode 17 The Victory of the Power of the Daleks which can be found here. Warning: This skit contains EXPLICIT language along with some crude humor, but honestly no more crude than that found in RTD's Aliens of London / World War Three.

We'd really like to thank Steve & Sean again for allowing us to feature this clip on our feed. (Mostly) every week they hit up their locak WHO tavern & review a classic story while inbibing Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters. Quite an interesting mix of conflicting interests if you ask us.

Disclaimer: Should you still have any more rants, complaints, or comments please direct them to:

ATTN: Sean -> tardistavern@gmail.com or reach him via twitter: @tardistavern

And for all those still wondering the answer to that ultimate question of life, the universe, and Megan's singleness all we can say is...

Show notes

T minus 5 days until Flesh and Stone.

Welcome to this, the 8th Hitchhiker's Guide to the Whoverse: Mostly Harmless Cutaway. Today Eric & Megan break down the newest, latest, and greatest Doctor Who episode The Time of Angels. WARNING: This review/discussion contains officia l Delirium Archive SPOILERS from the 63rd century!

Thanks so much to Eric (@sjcaustenite), 1 of the 'Three who Squee' fan creativity @ the Bridging the Rift podcast for providing this episode's intro.

Disclaimer: And that's it, I'm afraid. There's no more from you on the transcript, that's the last I've got. I don't know what stopped you commenting on the podcast, but I can guess: they're coming. The angels are coming for you, but listen, your life could depend on this: don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast, faster than you could believe. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and...

Shada Cutaway Apr 25, 2010

Show notes

T minus 6 days until Flesh and Stone.

Contrary to common belief, Eric & Megan set to record a mid-week Victory of the Daleks Cutaway this last Thrusday April 22nd. Unfotunately a conspiring cosmos was working against them. Firstly a certain producer of this show's computer decided to go on the Fritz Tuesday. Following which he proceded to stay awake for 26 hrs striaght before recording would commence.

It was not our brightest hour. What ensued was something little resembling our strandard podcast format. For 2.5 hrs the misery edured, failing attention + hallucinations leading to many and frequent resets, redos, and restarts. We had hoped that the edit bay might be able to salvage some carcass of a show from the wreckage, but alas fate & destiny weren't finshed with us yet. Apparently somebody forgot to push that little red button marked 'Record,' so all was for naught. So much 'Dalek Cutaway' prep & stress-work down the tube with the rest of the refuse.

Let us assure you that we feel thuroughly refreshed & recharged now and recording of our The Time of Angels shall take place later today as originally planned. Perhaps we shall produce an extra beefy mid-week cutaway in coming days to help atone for our carelessness. Despite our mishap, fortunately cooler heads prevailed as we made use of another red button within reach, this one imprinted with the bold words:

DON'T PANIC
