Doctor Who: Verity!

Latest Episodes:

Extra! - Moar Monsters! Aug 30, 2017

Show notes

Our end-of-summer Extra(vaganza) continues! Join Deb, Katrina, and Tansy as they prove they can be every bit as monstrous as the other Verities (if not more so)!

Extra! - Generous Jemma Aug 23, 2017

Show notes

We've pulled another delightful interview out of the vault! Deb had the pleasure of speaking with Jemma Redgrave at LI Who in 2016. Join Deb and Erika as we chat about the con and then listen as Deb talks to Jemma about how badly she wanted a part on Doctor Who, how she made her children watch the classic series, having a family of actors, and of course, lots about Kate Stewart! (And more!)

Extra! - This or That Aug 16, 2017

Show notes

This game may not be called You Monster, You, but boy did it end up making us feel like monsters! Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we make DIFFICULT and TERRIBLE choices that YOU made us pick between. Seriously, I have words for some of you...

Huge thanks to Sage and Kim of Head Over Feels! We blatantly and unashamedly stole borrowed "This or That" from them after their lolarious on-stage version with Paul McGann at LI Who. We appreciate the inspiration, lovely ladies!

As Deb said, there will be more ToT in the future, so feel free to fill this comment thread with suggestions for future editions. Or just yell at us (nicely) for the PAINFUL choices we made.

I'd like to close by apologizing to the 7th Verity, Marie Cat.

Episode 147 - Survival Kit(ling) Aug 09, 2017

Show notes

Our year of loves and lasts continues with a rather big "last". Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne as we discuss 1989's "Survival", which was a "last" in many ways, although it wasn't originally intended as such.

How do you feel about 7's last full story? What did you think of the Cheetah People's costumes? Is that infamous line really the nadir of Sylvester McCoy's performances on Doctor Who? Let us know in the comments!

Also covered:

Lynne had moving prep help from Michi Trota, Jesse Lex, and Dolores and Matt Peters (the latter two gave them Doctor Who LEGO Dimensions goodies), and Matt hosts two podcasts:
- Since Last We Spoke!
- Digital Dumpster Diving!
Erika
- discovers "What if John Carpenter did a Doctor Who Theme?"!
- cannot wait for LI Who and hopes to see you there!
Liz is filled with delight and squee and Great Emotion because the next Doctor is a woman!
Deb blatantly steals borrows a game from Kim Rogers and Sage Young at Head Over Feels and wants you to submit your ideas for "This or That" for future Verity fun!

Extra! - You Monster, You! Aug 02, 2017

Show notes

It's a new game show! Deb and her devious friends developed this doozy of a dilemma-based debacle. Join Deb as she torments Liz and Lynne with truly monstrous decisions. It's a delight!

So are you a monster? Why or why not? Let us know in the comments!

Episode 146 - The Pit of the Impossible Satan Planet Jul 26, 2017

Show notes

Now that series 10 is over, our year of loves and lasts continues with a love. A lot of love. Two episodes of love, in fact! Join Deb, Erika, and Tansy as we dip back into series 2 with a two-parter that Deb just loves: "The Impossible Planet" and "The Satan Pit".

Do you love these eps like we do? Do you find the same bits a tad uncomfortable? Other bits? No bits? Let us know in the comments!

Also covered:

Tansy's household is squeeful over the trailer for the Xmas special--especially because BILL IS BACK!
Erika recommends a couple videos from San Diego ComicCon:
- the BritBox classic Doctor Who panel hosted by our pal Kyle!
- Empire Magazine's interview with Steven Moffatt, Peter Capaldi, and Mark Gatiss!
Deb

Extra! - There's Nothing "Only" About Being a Doctor + Our Gap Months Jul 19, 2017

Show notes

It's official! We have a new Doctor! And she's a SHE. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we dive into our reactions to this truly momentous news. There were many tears, though not for all the same reasons.

But we won't see Jodie Whittaker in the role for months. And then after that, it'll be a lotta months before we get the next series. In our second timey-wimey segment we talk about what we're gonna do to fill those lonely, Who-less months. "Shadow cabinet of spreadsheets," anyone?

How do you feel about Whittaker's impending Doctorhood? And what will you be doing while we wait for the new Doctor and new series? Let us know in the comments!

Episode 145 - No Toxic Boyfriend Spiral Jul 12, 2017

Show notes

It's time to wrap up series 10. Le sigh. Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we talk about character arcs, friendships, favorites, least favorites, and lots and lots more about the finale.

Episode 144 - The Doctor Falls Over Jul 05, 2017

Show notes

That's it. Series 10 is over. None of us are happy to see it go, but many of us are happy about how it went. Join Erika, Katrina, Lynne, and Tansy as we hash over this finale and discuss what we might see (and what we want to see) at Christmas.

How do you think the Doctor fell? Let us know in the comments!

Tansy
- successfully Kickstarted Mother of Invention!
- discovered the excellent podcast The Web of Queer!
Kat and Chris nab two tumblrs related to John Simm's eyeliner!

- birthday-partying with Paul Cornell!
- and especially recording last week's Verity! with Caroline Symcox!

Episode 143 - Cool World Enough and Time Jun 28, 2017

Show notes

It's a rare on-location Verity! with an even-rarer special guest! Join Erika, Liz, and returning guest, Caroline Symcox as we discuss part one of the season finale story. It was some intense Doctor Who, and we have some intense reactions to it. We also have some wacky theorizing.

Warning: Wacky theorizing may cause disappointment when the show doesn't do what the wacky theory said it might. Or, at least, it will if you're Liz.

How did this part-one-of-two strike you? What are your theories? Tell us in the comments!

Also covered:

Liz is thrilled that Derek Jacobi will be playing the "War Master" in Big Finish!
Caroline is thrilled to have us as curry-eating visitors!
Erika is thrilled to see Liz's real-time reaction to this DW ep!
