The Doctor Who Podcast Episode #357 – Doctors Six and Twelve Will See You Now! Jul 29, 2023

Show notes

Join James and Phil as they get together (after what feels like a suspiciously long time – we suspect a time eddy of some kind) to discuss the news that Season 20 will be the next to receive the blu ray treatment!

Michele and Drew pop up on no fewer than three occasions to review the Sixth Doctor, Mel and (new companion) Hebe box set from Big Finish, Water Worlds.

And not to be outdone, Brent and Ian dial back the clock to the Peter Capaldi’s story, Smile!

All that – and more irreverent Who banter besides – don’t miss it!

The Doctor Who Podcast Episode #356 – To Infinity – and Beyond! Jul 02, 2023

Show notes

Join Drew, James, Brent, Michele and Ian as they take the DWP campervan for it’s latest spin around the Whooniverse!

Arc of Infinity is the subject of Debut Who – a story from 1983 that Ian has somehow managed to avoid seeing, despite being on this earth for fifty years and a Doctor Who fan for thirty! Imagine seeing an Ergon for the first time in 2023?!

The first volume of Big Finish‘s The Diary of River Song comes under scrutiny from Michele and Brent.

As well as random campfire discussions about theme music arrangements, the new approach to marketing the show has taken, a pitch to Big Finish for an audio story featuring the Ergon and the Garm, Mark Hamill’s Joker, spreadsheets and ex-possums – join the team for a feature length edition of the DWP!

Enjoy the show.

Show notes

Well, that was a surprise! This week saw the announcement that Bonnie Langford will reprise the role of Melanie Bush in the series of Doctor Who alongside Ncuti Gatwa’s 15th Doctor Who! Sadly the news broke too late for us to cover in any great detail, but Phil and James do discuss briefly at the top of the episode.

Michele then joins James to talk about the latest trailer, the titles of the upcoming specials and the latest casting news.

And feedback! We have a brand new Facebook Group (20 years late, we know) so we talk about some of the messages our wonderful listeners have been posting.

Then – it’s soapbox time! James and Michele talk about the Ninth Doctor range from Big Finish Productions. It’s been a while since we had a chinwag about the output from Big Finish without reviewing a specific release. So how has Christopher Eccleston’s return to Doctor Who landed with fans now we have nine box sets?!

Join us later this month for part two of our series, Once and Future Review! Chapter Two is being released on 14 June – our review will be online as soon as possible after that!

Get in touch with the Campervan in the usual ways – feedback@thedoctorwhopodcast.com, on Twitter or via Facebook.
