Podcast appearances and mentions of brian a terranova

Doctor Who returned in 2005 with Rose. It was the first episode of the show since 1996... but in the show's continuity, The Day of the Doctor introduces new, unseen continuity to Rose. Indeed, Rose likely happens right as the regenerating War Doctor leaves the National Gallery. This podcast takes a look at The Day of the Doctor as a finale to Big Finish's Time War stories. How does this redevelop what we knew about the Doctor back in 2005? How does it change the Doctor's character in context to Rose and the subsequent episodes - all the way back to The Day of the Doctor in 2013, eight years later. Admittedly, it's timey-wimey, but we think you're on board for this. Your hosts this week are James McLean and Brian A. Terranova. They'll be watching Rose as they speak, so feel free to line up your copy and re-enjoy it along with them - assuming it starts on cue...

What did you think of Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror? Hold that thought, then ask yourself the more important question: what did *we* think of Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror? Doctor Who Series 12 has been a mixed bag so far, but was Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror the fizzy cola bottle or the unfizzy cola bottle? It's the PodKast with a K, in which forty-something male, pale, and stale anoraks chat largely about Doctor Who, a show they've no professional experience of but have nevertheless spent a large chunk of four decades watching. This week, Christian Cawley (a man who plays with phones for money) is joined by the ever-indecisive James McLean and swish trans-Atlantic man-about-suburbs Brian A. Terranova. We're here to reaffirm and challenge your opinions on Doctor Who in equal measure. Ready? Hit play!

Orphan 55 is arguably the most divisive Doctor Who episode since 2005 - if not longer. But was it really all that bad? Is there something of value to take from the episode that split fandom and demonstrated makeup that would look amateurish on a 1990s CBBC production of A Midsomer Night's Dream? Brian A. Terranova and James McLean are on hand to find out.

Hot on the heels of part one, part 2 of the Doctor Who Series 12 opener, Spyfall, has just aired in the show's usual Sunday evening slot. This week, Christian Cawley, Brian A Terranova, and James McLean discuss the story in-depth, along with a surprising realisation. PLUS: why was the sound quality so bad in portions of the last podKast? Christian explains all...

This week's show is a PropKast featuring Brian A Terranova telling us about how he and a group of prop enthusiasts built their own RTD-era sonic screwdriver. Tying in nicely with our RTD era sonic screwdriver PDF (http://kasterborous.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/RTD-Era-Sonic-Screwdriver-A-Compiled-History-Revised-June-2019.pdf) , Brian tells Christian Cawley how prop makers put their heads together, pooled resources, and built their own sonic screwdrivers. As if all that wasn't enough, there's even some chat about how the Star Wars fan community discovered how a lightsaber prop changed during Return of the Jedi. You'll also learn what a "Hero Prop" is, assuming you don't already know... Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter: look for @kasterbeyond (http://www.twitter.com/kasterbeyond) for show updates, interesting retweets, and wry observations about Doctor Who and other favorite shows.

Comic cons, book launches, interviews in Radio Times - former Doctor Who Christopher Eccleston is everywhere right now, opening up and talking honestly for the first time ever. So it should come as no surprise that this brand new Kasterborous PodKast is almost entirely about him. Oh, and Brian A. Terranova - he's back as well... Shownotes Christopher Eccleston's thoughts on the Doctor Who 50th anniversary (https://www.radiotimes.com/news/2019-10-05/christopher-eccleston-doctor-who-50th/) Eccleston's would have liked a second series (https://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2019-10-04/christopher-eccleston-doctor-who-exit-series-2/) Eccleston loves Doctor Who fans (https://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2019-09-20/christopher-eccleston-doctor-who-fans/) Clayton Hickman shares Roy Hudd as Ken Dodd as the Doctor photo (https://twitter.com/claytonhickman/status/1180897442801299463) Mission to the Unknown recreation on YouTube (https://thedoctorwhocompanion.com/2019/10/02/recreation-of-missing-episode-mission-to-the-unknown-to-be-released-on-youtube/) Don't forget you can follow us on Twitter @kasterbeyond (http://www.twitter.com/kasterbeyond) !

In a special one-off return for a chat podcast, Doctor Who cosplayer Brian A. Terranova tells Christian Cawley about the research into his remarkable history of the RTD era sonic screwdriver, available to [download as a free PDF](http://beyondkasterborous.com/index.php/2019/03/02/rtd-era-sonic-screwdriver-history-free-ebook/). We can't possibly discuss everything about the PDF in this little box of text, but suffice to say Brian has been researching the device for over a decade, collecting replicas, analyzing photos and screen caps, and learning as much as possible about it. The end result is the PDF download, free to anyone, which we discuss in our latest podcast.

Welcome to the first of our special PropKast podcasts, in which James McLean and Brian A Terranova discuss props in TV and movies. To kick off, the focus is mainly on Doctor Who props, specifically those that have been reused across serials or found in other shows. (Featured image credit: Brian A Terranova)

As a second BONUS podKast this week, we've convened to pour over the latest #DoctorWho Series 10 trailer, which focuses on new companion Bill. Brian A Terranova and James McLean are your hosts.

Richard Hatch, former star of BattleStar Galactica, has sadly passed away. James McLean and Brian A Terranova recall his appearance in both incarnations of the show. Also, we spend some time considering the effect and impact of memes on social media.

This week we finally get the chance to sit down and talk about #Class, the first Moffat-era #DoctorWho spinoff, written by Patrick Ness, starring Katherine Kelly and features Peter Capaldi in the first episode. Although, it's probably closer to #Buffy than Doctor Who... Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian A. Terranova have all watched the first episode (Christian has kept up with the show since) and in this podKast we look at the implications of having a spinoff that is better than the parent show, and if Class is that program.

This week's podKast with a K looks back at the oft-derided Series 1 episode Boom Town. Set in Cardiff, with a return for Mickey Smith and Margaret Slitheen, this is a low-budget episode that was written when a script by Paul Abbot, "The Void", fell through. Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian A. Terranova are your hosts. We'd love you to listen to the podKast while watching the episode, too!

This week, Christian Cawley and Brian A Terranova try to decide which Doctor Who stories they've changed their opinions about over the years. Prompted by James McLean's schoolboy spreadsheet of scores from An Unearthly Child through to Survival, we consider how the reputations of various serials and stories have changed over the years.

We took a week off, but Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian A Terranova are back to mull over some recent #DoctorWho news, from the Moffat/Barrowman Torchwood revival spat to Tom Baker in #StarWars and standing on a roof naked. No, really. Shownotes Series 6 Episode 28 Moffat/Barrowman on Torchwood revival Eccleston regret BFI Power of the Daleks TV Movie upscaling Tom Baker in Star Wars: Rebels, Baker's End Hornet's Nest and Serpent Crest by Paul Magrs Doctor Who: The Mutants

It's podKast time! While we're busy working on our various satellite projects for BeyondKasterborous, we've got a #DoctorWho commentary for you, in which Christian Cawley, Brian A. Terranova and James McLean take a look at the oft-maligned, original Doctor-lite episode, Love & Monsters...

In this week's PodKast with a K, Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian A. Terranova reveal the latest stage in the podKast's evolution: BeyondKasterborous, our new home on the web! Familiar name? Well, maybe, but if you want to know why we selected it, and where we're going next, then it's time to hit play. And welcome a new era (which will, no doubt sound exactly the same as the last...)!

James McLean and Brian A Terranova steer the podKast with a K back in time this week, as the adventure continues for the TARDIS travellers, fresh from the loss of Adric, as they arrive at Heathrow and find themselves tracking a lost Concorde... Shownotes: Planet Earth (Thomas Yardley Box at the Planet Earth website) http://www.thisplanetearth.co.uk/page84.html Tardisbuilders.com - Thomas Yardley thread one (pages 1,2,6,7,8) http://tardisbuilders.com/index.php?topic=966.0 - Thomas Yardley Thread two (pages 1 and 13) http://tardisbuilders.com/index.php?topic=6858

We bring our occasional series of #DoctorWho kommentaries into the 21st century this week with Rose, Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper's first appearance in NuWho's debut episode from March 26th, 2005. Inspired by our recent discussions about the late McCoy era, and with the obvious comparisons with the setting of Survival (another story set in a London suburb), we decided to return to Russell T Davies' triumphant re-introduction to everyone's favourite Time Lord. What would Christian, Cawley, James McLean, and Brian A Terranova be inspired to observe and discuss? Hit play to find out...

James McLean and Brian A. Terranova talk you through 1987 #DoctorWho serial Delta and the Bannermen on this week's podKast, covering everything from token Americans with bad accents to Brian's secret origins...

Christian Cawley and Brian A Terranova lead you through the world of #DoctorWho spinoffs that never were in this week's podKast. Or rather, the ones we would have liked to see. So no mention, for example, of Rose Tyler: Earth Defender, but plenty of chat about UNIT and Ian Chesterton's post-TARDIS adventures. Hit Play to enjoy - it would be wrong not to...

We're bringing you a mammoth 2 hour Doctor Who commentary podKast this week as Christian Cawley, Brian A Terranova, James McLean, and Gareth Kavanagh look back at the serial that closed Season 18 and Tom Baker's seven year tenure in Doctor Who, Logopolis! Did the team enjoy it? Perhaps it's not the classic they thought it was? Cue up your DVD, and hit play at the same time as the podKast team to enjoy a whole new commentary for Logopolis!

No, we really did. Christian Cawley, Brian A. Terranova and James McLean sat down in three different locations and actually volunteered to watch #DoctorWho 30 anniversary charity special Dimensions in Time together! And as if that wasn't amazing enough, we had a really good time. I mean, that's really weird, right?

We're back with a new podKast! Christian Cawley and Brian A Terranova this week guide you through the world of songs inspired by #DoctorWho from the era of the original series. In short, this is a TROCK-free zone (and rightly so, let's face it). But there's more! We also have a small "related news roundup" and spread the word about our former Kasterborous colleagues' new website, which we reckon looks superb. Brian also shares his thoughts about not cosplaying at L.I. Who this year, but in true disclaimer style, it's purely a bit of musing, and Mr Terranova is yet to make a decision about whether to go as the Tenth Doctor, or the Fourth Doctor after growing his hair and getting a perm. You heard it here first!

Yes, dear listener, we finally did it. After literally months of planning and promises, as well as a few hints, we've produced a kommentary (with a k) for the Graham Williams-era classic/rightly maligned nonsense The Horns of Nimon, starring Tom Baker and Lalla Ward as the Doctor and Romana, with Graham Crowden as Soldeed. James McLean, Brian A Terranova and guest podKaster Gareth Kavanagh gathered on Sunday to produce a fan commentary for the first two parts of the serial (well, all of it, but Audioboom upload restrictions mean we divide the kommentary into two parts) and it really does turn out to be a fascinating discussion. And although he couldn't make the recording, Christian Cawley is nevertheless present, introducing proceedings...

In a break from the usual #DoctorWho programming, this week's podKast takes a break from time travel (well, mostly - listen out for TV Movie references, as well as Christopher Eccleston's in-character message to a sick boy) and lands in the world of Mulder and Scully. #TheXFiles returns in January 2016, and Brian A Terranova and James McLean are keen to convince Christian Cawley that he should be tuning in.

#HeavenSent - the best episode of #DoctorWho Series 9? Has #StevenMoffat knocked it out of the park again? Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian A Terranova look at the evidence. ..

Wow. Face the Raven, episode 10 of #DoctorWho Series 9, certainly made the podKast team sit up and take notice! This week, it's Brian A Terranova and James McLean on a pre-recorded show, looking at the implications of Face the Raven and Clara's apparent departure. Was she well written enough as a woman, or did writing fall into the trap of "sassiness as a character trait"? And what sort of companion should come next? A male companion? An alien? Perhaps a younger companion?

Christian Cawley and Brian A. Terranova are James-less this week as they chew the eye snot over Sleep No More, #DoctorWho Series 9's ninth episode (already?! Yes). Surely, with the vast collection of derogatory comments and reviews for this episode, the two podKast founders will be in complete agreement with the received wisdom, right? Well, you'll have to listen to find out. In the meantime, if you want to hear about Brian's exploits at the LI Who convention (including being hugged by Carole Ann Ford), Christian meeting Professor Brian Cox, and a bunch of interesting news items, they're also in there. It's a bursting-at-the-seams, fat Elvis of a podKast (without the jumpsuit, cape or narcotics cocktail) - time to hit play!

The team are back to talk about the latest #DoctorWho - The Zygon Inversion! This week's show - with Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian A Terranova - was live on Google Hangouts, and features some in-depth discussion over the latest episode from Doctor Who Series 9. Later in the show, the chaps move onto discussing some recent news, and discuss guests at the forthcoming LI Who convention (Nov13th-15), as well as An Audience with Christopher Benjamin (Nov 29th, Fab Cafe, Manchester).

Our reviews of #DoctorWho Series 9 continue with this latest podKast, recorded live on Google Hangouts on Sunday. The Zygon Invasion - hit or miss? Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian A. Terranova look at the evidence, and come to an unusually mixed conclusion... And did Harry really switch from Genesis of the Daleks survivor to chemical weapons developer? Really? Also, look out for some of the more interesting news, including a charming Facebook update from Daphne Ashbrook...

Christian Cawley and Brian A. Terranova are here for this week's #DoctorWho podKast, in which they are overwhelmed with the news of the K9 vs Omega movie, satisfied with The Woman Who Lived, thrilled by David Tennant and Catherine Tate taking the DoctorDonna to Big Finish, and disappointed with the modern UNIT.

We're back with a live #DoctorWho Series 9 podKast on Google Hangouts! This time, Christian Cawley, Brian A Terranova and James McLean discussed The Girl Who Died on Sunday afternoon, with the help of various viewers contributing their own thoughts about the episode. It was, quite simply, our most enjoyable live podKast yet. The podKast theme tune is by Russell Hugo.

This week, the #DoctorWho podKast team of Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian A Terranova bring you a range of topics and conversation, ranging from insane rumours concerning the Thirteenth Doctor to why fandom doesn’t seem to like Martha Jones. This is particularly baffling, as we love her! Look out also for talk on TV marathons, some interesting new Doctor Who merchandise, our recollections of 1980s Doctor Who toys, and the possibility of spoiling Star Wars: The Force Awakens by buying all of the 13″ figures and listening to the dialogue they play…

In a diverse collection of discussions, this week’s podKast swings from Colin Baker’s apparent fall out with #DoctorWho Magazine to #RipperStreet series 3, and largely concludes – thanks to recent comments by Sylvester McCoy – with some in-depth thoughts about what introducing a female Doctor Who would mean to the show and what it might reflect in society. No, really. Christian Cawley and Brian A Terranova are your hosts, with tardy boy McLean rolling in late. Students, eh?

Doctor Who misconceptions can be amusing; they can also be embarrassing. We've all had them, those moments where our internalised canon (also known as "headcanon") betrays logic. But non-fans also have this, such as the notion that the Doctor is actually called "Dr Who", or that the Daleks are in every single episode (which would be slightly dull, right?) Backed up by a useful collection of Doctor Who misconceptions on Reddit, Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian A. Terranova discuss these and other, similar, confused logic and understanding about Doctor Who over the years. And we're looking forward to reading about yours, too!

You know when the Doctor does something immensely clever to solve a problem? It's one of the highlights of #DoctorWho. But what about when things are a little more... lucky? Do you get the same satisfaction from Liz Shaw unplugging and plugging something in to save the Doctor from the Nestene Consciousness, or the Doctor finding that the monstrous-but-susceptible-to-sonics Professor Lazarus has hidden in a cathedral that just happens to have some very loud bells in it? James McLean and Brian A Terranova discuss this and more...

It's a podKast without a Cawley this week, as James McLean and Brian A Terranova take the reins and discuss the importance of knowing when the next series of ##DoctorWho will air. Has that particular item of hype been sold down the river now? Should we not just accept now that a new series will be along soon, let's find something to do until it airs and not worry? Click play to find out...

Cast your mind back to 1999. There was no new #DoctorWho on TV, save four sketches: three by Mark Gatiss as part of a Doctor Who night on #BBC2 and one by Steven Moffat for Comic Relief, starring Rowan Atkinson, Jonathan Pryce, Hugh Grant, Richard E Grant, Jim Broadbent, Joanna Lumley and Julie Sawalha. These four amusing, affectionate and memorable sketches are thr subject of our podKast this week, as Christian Cawley and Brian A. Terranova uncover some remarkable similarities between The Curse of Fatal Death and Steven Moffat's era of Doctor Who...

It all started off so innocently. Christian Cawley and Brian A Terranova settled down to chat about some recent #DoctorWho news when it all got too much for the American. The news that Steven Moffat had declared the Doctor "not a role model" sent the Kasterborous associate editor over the edge, resulting in a foul-mouthed tirade that threatened to take the podKast off the air. Forever. Fortunately, however, the podKast is not bound by broadcasting rules, so click play below to hear what Brian had to say about Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat's very odd statement. Also, please note (if you hadn't realised already) that this podKast contains adult language.

Welcome to the second part of our nuWho anniversary podKast, in which we recall the 2005 series of #DoctorWho. After all, it's only 10 years since 2005, not since 2006 and alll the other years since, right? This time, James McLean joins Christian Cawley and Brian A Terranova to discuss the remaining episodes from the 2005 run, Father's Day through to The Christmas Invasion. Time to hit play.

Yay, it’s podKast time! This week, Christian Cawley and Brian A Terranova open the anniversary discussion, remembering #DoctorWho Series 1 and mulling over the first 7 episodes, from Rose through to The Long Game. During the discussion, we recall the Rose leak, an event which had the potential to undermine the return of the show but instead had the fortunate effect of building interest!

In this week's podKast, things are a little timey-wimey. The recommendations section is first, in which Brian A Terranova and James McLean discuss classic #DoctorWho serial The Ambassadors of Death. Following this, things move towards a discussion on how Missy's return can work, without sacrificing the Doctor (who had little to do in the Series 8 finale) and wasting Michelle Gomez. Some interesting ideas in there, people. Don't miss it...

In a pleasant change from the usual podKast format, Christian Cawley and Brian A. Terranova broadcast this week’s show live on Google Hangouts. We appreciate it was short notice, and so you may have missed it, but worry not – you can watch the ensuing, freeform discussion (topped off with some recommendations). It certainly made a nice change to have the pressure of a live show (albeit for one live viewer!) and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. We’ll have the audio version for Audioboom, Sitcher and iTunes along a little later, but until then, click play above to watch Christian and Brian discuss props, Faye Marsay, #DoctorWho story formats and even Dapol figures…

While we to and fro, hither and thither throughout this week's podKast, on the whole the subject matter in The Time Warrior, the opening serial to the 1974 run of #DoctorWho, Jon Pertwee's last season and Lis Sladen's first. Oh, and it also makrs the first appearance of the Sontarans and reveals what the original Boba Fett would have looked like without his helmet. We'll be honest: The Time Warrior is no one's favourite, but neither is it as bad as, say, Time and the Rani or New Earth (or, for that matter, Kill the Moon). Instead, it seems to exist in a sort of middle rank of the show's stories, neither loved nor hated, just sort of ignored, really, as an event episode that is actually a non-event. Is this reputation deserved? Does The Time Warrior have hidden depths? Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian A Terranova find out...

Taking a turn away from the usual podKast format this week, we head back in time, not to 2005, but to 1985, and the much-maligned Colin Baker story Timelash. Over the past week, the Kasterborous team of Christian Cawley, Brian A Terranova and James McLean has watched Timelash (in varying degrees of completion) and they report back now, dear listener, for your interest and entertainment. Could it be that Glen McCoy’s script is, in fact, unfairly derided by fans, desperate to highlight a weak point of an already mixed run of episodes? For those of you who don't know, Timelash - this week's only recommendation - stars Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant as the Doctor and Peri, who find themselves on the planet Karfel were the population are terrorised by the sinister Borad. Guest starring Paul Darrow as the villainous Tekker and including a historical figure in the proceedings, the story has long been lambasted by fans.

This week's podKast takes the slow road; without Christian Cawley (no voice), James McLean and Brian A. Terranova choose to talk about props, specifically the sonic screwdriver and police boxes, as well as suggesting some redesign tips for the Daleks and Cybermen. So kick back and relax with James and Brian in a sort of timey wimey fireside chat. Hot chocolate might be in order, it's nice, comfy and warming, just like your hosts.

Russell T Davies would write a #DoctorWho movie, we learnt this week - but should we let him? Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian A Terranova are on hand to offer their thoughts on this and several other topics concerning the adventures of the Time Lord we know as the Doctor. Also, look out for an update on Contradiction, the new interactive movie game starring recent podKast guests Rupert Booth and John Guilor, as well as Blake's 7 star Paul Darrow, which is out now.

Amazingly it is a decade since #DoctorWho returned, sparked by a teaser trailer on New Year's Day. Interestingly on the same day Kasterborous.com launched. So, you can guess what we're talking about this week. As well as Doctor Who Series 1's exciting early build up, James McLean, Brian A Terranova and Christian Cawley also discuss the recent Mirror attack over a supposed ratings slump as well as offer their recommendations. Also, look out for news of next week's special guests...

This week, the Doctor Who podKast (with a "K") discusses the build up to the 2014 Christmas special, Last Christmas. Before that, however, James McLean and Brian A Terranova discuss the rather interesting clip from 1985's BBC Children in Need, featuring virtually all surviving Doctor Who stars and their companions... with one very notable exception! The show ends with sage advice concerning your expectations for Last Christmas. Until next week, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

Instead of just mulling over the latest missing episodes news, this week's podKast brings in two guests, fans (who are also actors) John Guilor and Rupert Booth to talk about the omnirumour and much more. Brace yourselves, Kasterborites, for a podKast containing lofts, basements, penpals, appreciation society presidents, professional voice work, interactive movies but sadly, no James McLean. Hosted by Christian Cawley and Brian A Terranova. Warning - there is some adult language in this week's podKast!

Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian A. Terranova inadvertently take the podKast into adult territory this week as the #DoctorWho discussions find themselves dwelling on the idea of a sonic screwdriver sex toy. Obviously there is much more than this within the 51 minutes of this week's guest-less chat, but let's face it, that's the bit you'll be looking forward to so just hit play and wait, okay?

It's podKast time! This week we again relied on Google Hangouts for our weekly discussion of all things #DoctorWho, with guest Gareth Kavanagh, editor of the amazing Vworp Vworp! fanzine and producer of various Doctor Who flavoured productions in Manchester. Gareth joins usual hosts Christian Cawley and Brian A Terranova to talk Lego Doctor Who, whether Jenna Coleman is staying or going, and offer some very interesting recommendations.

We came, we saw, we were slightly befuddled. #DoctorWho Series 8 episode In The Forest Of The Night has left fans a little perplexed (although it has plenty of strong aspects to it) and it's now time to find out exactly what the podKast team of Christian Cawley, Brian A Terranova and James McLean thought of Frank Cottrell Boyce's unusual adventure.

n this week’s podKast, we chat about the surprisingly divisive new #DoctorWho episode Kill the Moon. Did Christian Cawley think it nonsense? Was James McLean left spellbound by its magic? Could Brian A. Terranova quit fandom over it? There’s only one way to find out…

What did you think of this week's #DoctorWho, The Caretaker, by Gareth Roberts? We liked it, and you can find out just how much by clicking play on our latest podKast. Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian A Terranova are your hosts. Look at out some chat about Pierce Brosnan as James Bond, too...

Instant classic #Listen is the main focus of conversation in this week's #doctorwho podKast, with Christian Cawley, Brian A Terranova and James McLean. We also cover Philip Morris' recent comments on the show's current status and recent overnight audience drop, and the passing of Angus Lennie and Jane Baker.

Welcome to this week's podKast, which was recorded live on Sunday, 24th August and features an in-depth discussion on #DoctorWho Series 8 opener #DeepBreath and of course #PeterCapaldi's first appearance as the Doctor! As a live podKast, we were able to feature and comments from some of the Doctor Who fans who watched Christian Cawley, Brian A. Terranova and James McLean's various musings on Hangouts or on YouTube.

In light of the recent leaked #DoctorWho Series 8 episodes & scripts storm, Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian A Terranova are here with another podKast in which we cover the shock leak and the impact of spoilers over the next few weeks. This leak is serious stuff. Some Facebook pages and websites are taking the spoilers to heart, sharing them with unsuspecting readers - completely unnecessary, you might think, but of course their aim is to increase hits and popularity. It might prove to be a double-edged sword for some. Remember, these are real spoilers, plot points, dialogue and twists. We're not talking about surprise casting or photos here, we're talking about the actual storylines from five Series 8 episodes. Also on the agenda today, the latest Doctor Who Series 8 trailer and we have a chat about Brian's collection of police box photos. Hit play!

The podKast trio of Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian A. Terranova are back this week with a selection of interesting chats about #DoctorWho Series 8 casting, sexism, the missing DVD release of #missingepisode The Underwater Menace and their collection of recommendations.

PodKasting as a duo this week, Brian A Terranova and James McLean give their thoughts on a couple of recent #DoctorWho news items before turning their attention to two Cybermen stories. Revenge of the Cybermen in 1975 was the cyborg race's first appearance since 1969, while Rise of the Cybermen/Age of Steel was their introduction to nuWho (a brief cameo in Dalek notwithstanding). Both stories attempted to rewrite the Cyberman legend, with varying levels of success, and also featured a Doctor with two companions. While it is difficult to establish which story is "best", Brian and James nevertheless have a great discussion about their likes and dislikes about the two stories.

James McLean, Brian A Terranova and Christian Cawley bring you their weekly discussion of all things Doctor Who in the latest podKast (with a "K"). This week, Brian regales with tales of the Louisville WizardWorld Comic Con in which he appeared in his cosplaying glory as the Tenth Doctor for a panel! We also discuss the latest casting and related rumours about Doctor Who Series 8, and offer our usual weekly recommendations. Oh and listen out for a few recollections of late 70s/early 80s Saturday morning children's show Swap Shop, nuclear drills and some special post-production horns... Ready? Click play below to get started!

Following last week's silly shenanigan with John Guilor, the PodKast with a "K" gets down to business with James McLean and Brian A Terranova discussing some recent news without the formatted interjections of lead host Christian Cawley. The result is a laid back chat about some recent #DoctorWho news. Some items you may have already heard discussed on the podKast, but not with Brian, so you'll be getting some all-new thoughts and a very different feel to the usual show.

It's a Christian-free zone in the latest Kasterborous podKast (with a "K") as our great leader makes plans to continue the expansion of our noble Doctor Who website. As a result, this will be the final podKast until the week following The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe, but fear not as this week's podKast features Brian A Terranova and James McLean discussing the sonic screwdriver and its impact and place in Doctor Who lore. From humble beginnings in 1968's Fury from the Deep to its modern-day place as a Tricorder-like device, James and Brian discuss the way in which the device is used, has been brought in and out of the Doctor's box of tricks over the years and pick favourite sonic screwdriver moments.

This week's podKast (with a "K") brings the conversation around to the TARDIS, as Christian and James discuss the magic behind the Doctor's bigger-on-the-inside blue box, its various external configurations and the varying interior dimensions that it has enjoyed over the years. Meanwhile, Brian A. Terranova gets to grips with Siri to find out what she/he thinks about the design of the TARDIS interior... before things get a little personal, that is.

This week's show is our much expected The Wedding of River Song review. What's the deal with eyepatch lady? Does the trailer give away too much or not enough? The great thing about Doctor Who is that there isn't a single story that is completely, 100% universally loved. With fans being very opinionated about what makes "great" Doctor Who, it is only right that we should get a podKast (with a "K") that features three very different attitudes... So join Christian Cawley, Brian A Terranova and James McLean as they discuss the Series 6 finale, The Wedding of River Song, how much of it made sense, whether there was really a wedding in it and just what the attraction is for the Doctor when it comes to humans... Meanwhile, we also praise the wonderful tribute to Nicholas Courtney, observe some initial similarities between the opening moments of The Wedding of River Song and the Time Leech comic strip and provide a brief preview of next week's podKast It's Your Turn: Review US! We need your reviews! Head to Apple Podcasts to leave a rating and review, and we'll read it out. Deal? Not on Apple Podcasts?

Back in 1996, the Doctor Who TV Movie struck TV screens on both sides of the Atlantic. At home it was a hit; in the USA, it was ignored. Now, 15 years later, we ask: has the Paul McGann-starring TV Movie dated badly? This week's podcast features Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian A Terranova discussing this in depth, while also taking a look at original design for Nephew in Neil Gaiman's The Doctor's Wife, and just what Danny Cohen thought he was playing at with his recent discussion about Doctor Who at the Church and Media conference. Here are a few quotes. On the matter of the Doctor Who TV Movie: "It did feel as though there were bits of The X Files in there but that the script and the tone of the show hadn't actually caught up with where The X Files was at that time." There is plenty to say on this, despite the episode being so old, and the era it represented failing to materialise. Christian and Brian are both massive fans of Paul McGann's performance in the Doctor Who TV Movie, making this a particularly interesting chat for them. On the original design for Nephew (http://www.kasterborous.com/2011/06/the-original-nephew/) : "The Nephew design is pretty stunning... they were having their lives augmented by House... it's understandable that the Ood might not have that, and I think that design would have much more suited the story." The recent statements by BBC One Controller Danny Cohen (http://www.kasterborous.com/2011/06/what-cohen-really-said/) concerning Doctor Who Series 7: "I think the whole...caboodle needs to be more responsive to the situation. Knocking it aside and saying "you've got to have faith" doesn't help the issue... I don't think using Twitter helps." Don't worry. We know that what you really want to do is listen to our thoughts on the 1996 Doctor Who TV Movie starring Paul McGann, Eric Roberts, Yee Jee Tso, Daphne Ashbrook, and Sylvester McCoy, Hit play above to get started.
