Happy times and Places 38.2 - The Daleks’ Masterplan 2 Jun 29, 2022

Show notes

Oooh, this episode exists! Hooray. Host Toby Hadoke remembers when it didn't, so it still all seems a bit new to him. And what a gorgeous episode it is, with its superb aliens and its even more superb human villain, Mavis Chen. Make sure you've worked out your special hand movements as Toby sits down with long term fan Ian McLachlan and see if there's a bigger candidate for Silliest Sod in the Universe than stroppy alien Zephon, marvel and the odd delivery of Katarina, and fall in love with Nicholas Courtney all over again.

Happy Times and Places 38.1 - The Daleks’ Masterplan 1 Jun 27, 2022

Show notes

Strap yourselves in - it's the start of an epic, largely missing Doctor Who story. We have 12 instalments of this, and being perfectly honest with you, host Toby Hadoke was worried this would be a bit of a chore. Yet thanks to the events of this mammoth tale, and the brilliant perspective provided by guest Ian K McLachlan, one of the fans who was there at the very beginning, this has proved to be one of the most popular commentaries in the series if feedback from patrons is anything to go by.

Happy Times and Places Omnibus - Inferno Jun 24, 2022

Show notes

Well this is an epic. Strap on your eyepatches as Doctor Who TV movie actor Jeremy Radick chooses, from an alternative universe, his favourite things about this classic tale. How close will he and host Toby Hadoke be in their choices - will they run parallel? Or will the whole thing turn out to be one massive bore?

Indefinable Magic 16 - You’ve Maddened It... Jun 20, 2022

Show notes

We can be an angry bunch, we Doctor Who fans. What is it about the unifying joy of a silly old show about fun and adventure that can cause so many scarlet faces and unpleasant outbursts? It seems odd that a show about a benign and kindly alien can cause such vitriol amongst its admirers. or is that seething anger within us all, and the programme just a healthy outlet for it. Host Toby Hadoke proffers some opinions - but don't be cross if they're not the same as yours!

Happy Times and Places 37.4 - The Macra Terror 4 Jun 17, 2022

Show notes

Your host Toby Hadoke is very tired on this one, so he barely has the energy for a Highland fling. Hopefully he makes up for his lack of energy in the post-commentary coda. And fortunately, brilliant guest Michael Dennis (who wrote for Mark Gatiss' excellent Queers anthology of monologues) is on hand to be far more interesting, eloquent and, well, awake than Toby is. Hopefully those of you less familiar with this story come away with a newfound appreciation for it after this. And that one of you has it in your attic.

Happy Times and Places 37.3 - The Macra Terror 3 Jun 15, 2022

Show notes

It's funny doing these with the old telesnaps. Bit of a challenge. But fortunately we have an excellent guest in the form of writer and Man of the Theatre Michael Dennis, and the script and production of The Macra Terror throw up plenty of things to talk about. So hopefully host Toby Hadoke will be able to claw some enjoyment from this...

Happy Times and Places 37.2 - The Macra Terror 2 Jun 13, 2022

Show notes

"There is no such thing as Happy Times and Place 37.2" etc.

Of course there is. And this is it. a rewarding look at an under appreciated story with special guest Michael Dennis, who has worked extensively in theatre as a company manager and is an excellent writer too. But will host Toby Hadoke manage to stay in control...?

Happy Times and Places 37.1 - The Macra Terror 1 Jun 10, 2022

Show notes

Your host Toby Hadoke to work himself up to do this one - a story he has always enjoyed (and really had a good time with in his book Running Through Corridors). This time though, it felt like it was going to be a chore as it is all telesnaps and guesswork. So he grits his teeth and off he goes, with the delightful and insightful Michael Dennis - playwright and theatre fellow - as company... and boy are the results worth it. Not a story many people talk about, The Macra Terror, and that's a shame, because there's a lot to like. There's also a lot to guess!

Too Much Information 2.6 - The Ordeal Jun 06, 2022

Show notes

And so the first Dalek story comes to the part of Terry Nation's storyline that took up the leats space in his initial breakdown. There's not a lot of plot but plenty of jeopardy as Ian and co traverse the maze of tunnels on the mountainside. Behind the scenes there's a new director and designer and the Daleks are starting t made an impact on surrounding popular culture. So enjoy the who, What and Where of the penultimate episode of this epic tale, and then drop in with one of its guest stars who enables us to make this perhaps the only classic Doctor Who podcast to mention Donatella Versace and Naomi Campbell.

Happy Times and Places 36.4 - Pyramids of Mars 4 Jun 03, 2022

Show notes

Now then, there is no doubt that this is one of the best Doctor Who stories of all time but... (whisper it) ... part four isn't really the story's finest 24 minutes. It's a lot of wandering around on a set. Your host Toby Hadoke approaches it with trepidation, not having had a lot of the padding of this episode as part of his childhood viewing on VHS (it was cut from the BBC release). So will this end on a damp squib, or can guest Richard Bignell's enthusiasm get everyone to the finish line?
