Happy Times and Places 46.1 - Survival 1 Oct 31, 2022

Show notes

It's the end ... of the Classic Series anyway. How can such a moment be prepared for? Well, with a very special guest : young over-achiever Benjamin Cook has given us a very cheery and effusive advocacy of Survival. Can he and host Toby Hadoke both reach across the generations and agree on what is best about this story: what do they think is the cat's whiskers? And let's not get in a flap disagreeing : this is surely where old series meets new?

Too Much Information 4.1 - The Roof of the World Oct 28, 2022

Show notes

And so Doctor Who's fourth adventure kicks off with the first episode that we cannot actually see. But there's plenty to examine in terms of the large amount of filming done for this episode, the last minute changes to the script which give the story a unique flavour, and two of its actors who span from the top to the bottom of the guest guest list and who both had very different careers that coincided here, in Lime Grove Studio D, back in January 1964.

Indefinable Magic 19 - From Boy to Fan Oct 24, 2022

Show notes

Toby Hadoke can trace the moment he went from being a normal human being who liked Doctor Who, (you know, watching it on TV, reading the stories, enjoying it) to becoming a fan (you know, finding out about behind-the-scenes facts, learning the history, being unnecessarily angry with it). It was when he received a certain book, a gateway to unimaginable riches. The book was Peter Haining's Doctor Who - A Celebration, and it led him on a journey of discovery, of joy ... and eventually ... of disappointment. Will I ever learn to recapture that innocent love again? Have a listen and find out.

PEDANT ALERT: Message from Toby : There's a mistake in here: William Hartnell died in 1975, not 1973 (as stated here at one point) of course. I know that, you know that, but in the flurry of recording and editing and uploading and all that, my brain was clearly temporaily muddled. Forgive me.

Happy Times and Places 45.1 - Kill The Moon Oct 21, 2022

Show notes

Bergcast host and TV and film historian Jon Dear chooses and episode that has got a bad press in various parts. He defends it here, as does host Toby Hadoke. And if that weren't enough, we have a key member of the team behind adding his thoughts too. So, is it possible they could be egging you on to give this one a second chance? Go on, you know you want to...

Happy Times and Places 44.4 - Four to Doomsday 4 Oct 17, 2022

Show notes

What a peculiar thing this story is, but this episode contains much enjoyable laser gun action and one of THE GREATEST EVER LINES IN DOCTOR WHO AND WE DON'T KNOW WHY. James Goss has to choose his favourite thing about this episode and the story as a whole, which he will do with his trademark insight and wit. Host Toby Hadoke has neither of those things, so Lord knows what he'll be choosing.

Happy Times and Places 44.3 - Four to Doomsday 3 Oct 14, 2022

Show notes

So finally the story starts to tell us what it is all about but it's still quite difficult to get to grips with quite what is going on here. As Monarch meanders towards Earth with his myriad of dance troupes and pot plants, how easy is it going to be for host Toby Hadoke and his guest James Goss to agree on what the best thing about this episode is?

Happy Times and Places 44.2 - Four to Doomsday 2 Oct 10, 2022

Show notes

Writer and wit James Goss has chosen a most beguiling slice of Doctor Who. But will host Toby Hadoke need much persuasion to choose the same best thing about the story as he has, or is the way to enlightenment fairly well signposted?

Happy Times and Places 44.1 - Four to Doomsday 1 Oct 07, 2022

Show notes

Well no-one is a big fan of this funny old story - well, apart from Doctor Who novelist and audio writer (and documentary maker and all sorts of other things) James Goss. Who could wish for a more charming advocate for this under-celebrated slice of 80s Who? And it is very 80s. So sit back and enjoy a (very) leisurely journey through some of Doctor Who's best ever corridors, as Chief Inspector Barlow off of Z-Cars inspires Tegan to become the best draughtsperson an airline could hope for.

Happy Times and Places BONUS - The Idiot’s Lantern Oct 05, 2022

Show notes

This bonus episode is being parachuted into the schedule because special guest Gemma Arrowsmith has a show out there right now so the gap between her recording her contribution and the release of this episode is perhaps the shortest ever (sorry anyone who has been waiting for their contribution to appear - some of you for two years!). Gemma's a brilliant comedy writer and performer with a sketch series currently airing on Radio 4 (check it out on iPlayer : Gemma Arrowsmith's Sketched Out) : but as she proves in this episode, she also has a lot to bring to the table in terms of knowledge of TV history and several of the themes of this Doctor Who adventure. Let's hope it leaves you HUNGRY for more...

Happy Times and Places OMNIBUS - Terminus Oct 03, 2022

Show notes

There's going to be a bonus release in the middle of this week so here's an omnibus to keep you going until then.

Since partaking in the podcast - and, I'm sure, entirely as a result of doing so - our special guest Laurence Clark has written a comedy pilot that was aired on Dave recently and is now awaiting the green light for a series. Fingers crossed he gets one. It was called Perfect and featured Juliet Cowan from The Sarah Jane Adventures amongst others.

Anyway, as ever the brief with this podcast is to try enjoying even one of Doctor Who's less celebrated stories. And, in this case, one that was actually visited by our guest who, it's fair to say, has gone on to greater things.
