Happy Times and Places 57.1 - The Haunting of Villa Diodati May 01, 2023

Show notes

Well this is a first! The only Jodie Whittaker/Chris Chibnall adventure to thus far be given the Happy Times... treatment, and it's one set in a haunted house at the birth of a literary classic. Host Toby Hadoke is nervous about this: not as familiar with the newer stuff as he is with the old, and not always the most comfortable traveller on the Chibnall express. But guest Steven Schapansky (contender for the title of THE Doctor Who podcaster, so prolific and high quality is his output) is a good guy and he's bound to make the journey a smooth one... who knows, Toby might suddenly go back and watch them all now. Stephen might have created a monster...!

Happy Times and Places OMNIBUS - The Curse of Peladon Apr 28, 2023

Show notes

A genuine Doctor Who writer is the special guest for this omnibus edition, and it's off to Peladon for a story that you host Toby Hadoke first saw in a sort of omnibus form : merged into two 50 minute episodes as part of the Doctor Who and the Monsters season back in the day. This has it all: monsters, sword fights, romance, gloomy tunnels. But which bits will Paul Cornell, the genius behind Father's Day and Human Nature/Family of Blood, identify as his favourites?

Indefinable Magic 22 - They Can’t Get Up The Stairs You Know Apr 24, 2023

Show notes

Monologues about Doctor Who: not too serious or heavy, but something to be entertained by (hopefully) and to muse on (hopefully)...

This episode is examination of disability representation in Doctor Who, hopefully done with some insight and a lightness of touch. Not a lecture by any means - part history lesson, part anecdote, part observation, it hopefully sheds some light on a subject often overlooked or ignored. As ever though, the main intention is to amuse or divert ... albeit by doing a deep dive into the minutiae of a certain aspect of a particular television show about running a lot and sometimes blowing things up.

Trigger warning: Issues of disability is discussed, including some unpleasant experiences at the hands of others.

Happy Times and Places OMNIBUS - The Daleks’ Masterplan 7-12 Apr 21, 2023

Show notes

The second part of this epic trek was originally released back in July/August 2022 which was when its guest contributor, Ian McLachlan, sadly passed away aged 68. He is such a valuable contributor and really helped to make the difficult task of commentating over 12 episodes of often lost Doctor Who go so much easier. And the story itself is pretty bloody good too! Will Ian and your host Toby Hadoke get anywhere close to agreeing on what they like best about this sprawling and eclectic (and largely lost) adventure from so long ago?

Too Much Information 4.5 - Rider from Shang-Tu Apr 17, 2023

Show notes

A new character enters proceedings, played by an actor we knew nothing about ... until now. But Ling Tau, the eponymous emissary from Kublai Khan, isn't the only person with a story to tell. William Russell's agent needs reassuring and a scene needs to be reshot, but it's a Reithian episode and series creator Sydney Newman is very happy. So saddle up for another episode of this lost classic from 1964, which has been unearthed with the help of someone behind the discovery of another long lost historical find, the skeleton of Richard III... Oh yes, it's all go here!

Happy Times and Places OMNIBUS - The Daleks Masterplan 1-6 Apr 14, 2023

Show notes

This was a daunting task but turned out to be one of the most rewarding to do and - if your feedback is anything to go by - one of the most enjoyable listens as well. Its assets are in no small part to the special guest, Ian K McLachlan, who was there watching at the time of its only UK transmission and kindly revisited this largely lost classic so many years later. Sadly, since this was released, Ian has died, so it's a bittersweet pleasure to hear the thoughts of one of the pioneers of Doctor Who fandom.

Happy Times and Places 56.2 - Attack of the Cybermen 2 Apr 10, 2023

Show notes

It's very much a game of two halves this story - cashing in gritty urban film work in order to collect chilly tombs and finger twiddling moustache ladies from space. Fortunately, academic and writer Robin Bunce is on hand to celebrate and contextualise in order to ensure that this commentary is not torture - even if what's going on on screen sometimes is, literally.

Happy Times and Places OMNIBUS - The Macra Terror Apr 07, 2023

Show notes

"There is no such thing as The Macra Terror Omnibus..." etc.

Michael Dennis is an excellent guest on this attempt to capture The Macra Terror's best attributes in some sort of pincer movement using him and hoist Toby Hadoke.

Happy Times and Places 56.1 - Attack of the Cybermen 1 Apr 03, 2023

Show notes

Robin Bunce, academic and Doctor Who scholar, whose father Roger was also a cameraman who worked with most of the classic Doctors, chooses a rare Colin Baker entry into this series. Fancy some time travel in an organ with some gritty Euston film, a camouflaged Cyberman and a Northern star? Then you've come to the right place. Even if it is a bit smelly.

Happy Times and Places 55.7 - Marco Polo 7 Mar 24, 2023

Show notes

They made it! 7 episodes, no moving pictures, no monsters, and not a lot of pre-knowledge. But an expert guide, some fabulous insight, and much to enjoy means that this epic lost classic has been a most rewarding experience. The chances are guest Jeremy Bentham won't be choosing the same favourite things as your host but that's OK. It's all about the journey...
