Podcast appearances and mentions of brian terranova

It's the question on everybody's lips: what does David Tennant's return as Doctor Who actually mean to the show's ongoing story? And what's the deal with that new sonic screwdriver? To get to the bones of it all, we've teamed up with Brian Terranova once again to talk Tenth/Fourteenth (?) Doctors, Catherine Tate, sonic screwdrivers, and new shoes. Shownotes This week we discuss: Ncuti Gatwa cast as the Doctor David Tennant and Catherine Tate return to Doctor Who Tennant's new sonic Verity Lambert blue plaque re-unveiled Are Doctor Who's missing episodes being held to ransom in the Middle East?

Jodie Whittaker has announced her departure, and Doctor Who showrunner Chris Chibnall is also heading out the door. The cycle of change has once again been initiated, but we haven't got together to make endless speculation about "who's next?" Instead, we're looking at "where and what next?" What can Doctor Who do to survive in a world of Loki, The Walking Dead, and Midsomer Murders (no, really)? And while we're at it, why is everyone complaining about everything all the flaming time? Join Christian Cawley, Brian Terranova, and James McLean as they treat you to an in-depth conversation about where Doctor Who may or may not head next... Shownotes This week we referred to some of the following: Jodie Whittaker and Chris Chibnall Announce Departure from Doctor Who Twitter Reaction to Doctor Who Departures Could J.

Brian Terranova makes Doctor Who fan films; he also collects props and cosplays. Christian Cawley and James McLean have worked on fanzines. They all host a Doctor Who podcast. But why do these, and other, Doctor Who fans keep making stuff? In this podcast we look at the various ways fans express their love of Doctor Who and other shows and serials through art, writing, cosplay, and other things, along with what drives fans to create.We need your reviews!

It's the one you've been waiting for: our thoughts on Doctor Who's New Year special, Revolution of the Daleks! It's good to se John Barrowman back as Captain Jack Harkness, but it is too short a trip? Is it a sad goodbye to Ryan? Are we worried about Yaz - and if not, should we be? And why did the Doctor languish in prison for nearly 20 years? After all, she should be smart enough to escape. Join Christian Cawley, James McLean, and Brian Terranova for their thoughts, reflections, opinions, insight, and reaction to the the Daleks' latest attempt to conquer earth in Revolution of the Daleks.

Jodie Whittaker has quit Doctor Who. Or has she? Who is in the running to replace the Thirteenth Doctor? Is there even a new name being considered? And is Chris Chibnall also leaving the show? We don't know, but there is plenty of press speculation to discuss. Also: comedian John Bishop is cast as the show's new male companion, the Dark Dimension receives an audio adaptation, and we remember Mark Eden and Barbara Shelley, both of whom have recently passed. Shownotes Has Jodie Whittaker quit Doctor Who? (https://screenrant.com/doctor-who-jodie-whittaker-leaving-report/) John Bishop cast as new Doctor Who companion (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-55509582) The Dark Dimension audio adaptation (http://wearecult.rocks/doctor-who-the-dark-dimension-reimagined) The Dark Dimension podcast (http://kasterborous.co.uk/podkast-with-a-dark-dimension/) Mark Eden (Marco Polo) dies (https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/mark-eden-death-cause-age-coronation-street-b1781267.html) Barbara Shelley (Planet of Fire) dies (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-55531181) This week's show features Brian Terranova, James McLean, and Christian Cawley.

Following our previous podcast on how the Time War brings a whole new dimension to Rose, we apply the same thinking across the whole of Doctor Who Series 1. This time, Christian Cawley joins Brian Terranova and James McLean as they consider the impact of the events of the "previous season" (based on an idea that there is a Time War series that concludes with The Day of the Doctor) on the Ninth Doctor and Rose's exploits. Does the fact that the audience now knows that Gallifrey survived the Time War recontextualise the events of The End of the World or The Unquiet Dead? Is there any impact to Aliens of London, Father's Day, The Empty Child, or Boom Town? How do Dalek and The Long Game change the Doctor's exploits a few episodes earlier? And does the return of the Daleks in the year 200,100 represent the final end of the Time War?

We're back with another podcast, taking a look at the recent developments in the Doctor Who fan community during lockdown. Join your hosts Christian Cawley, James McLean, and Brian Terranova as they look at tweetalongs and other ways Doctor Who fans can deal with enforced downtime.

Join us as we look back on the opening episode of the Fifth Doctor's era, as Peter Davison makes his first full appearance as Doctor Who. James McLean and Brian Terranova are your hosts - why not get your DVD or streaming service ready and watch along with them?

Wow. That was a cliffhanger, wasn't it? In terms of Series 12, it is certainly where everything changes - but before we get to The Timeless Children, we need to talk about Ascension of the Cybermen. Christian Cawley, Brian Terranova, and James McLean have put their heads together and produced what can only be described as a very low-tech Cyberium. Did we love Ascension of the Cybermen or hate it? Click play to find out! (Quick reminder: we're taking a break for a few weeks in mid-March. Don't fret - we're be back after Easter. In the meantime, look out for some classic podcasts and old articles republished on the website.)

Doctor Who rumbles towards the end of Series 12 with this "base under siege" type episode - but this time, it seems the base itself, Villa Diodati on the bank of Lake Geneva, is the enemy! Hear James McLean and Brian Terranova's thoughts, feelings, and reactions to The Haunting of Villa Diodati, and the Doctor's encounter with the future Mary Shelley, along with Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, and Mary's step-sister Claire Clairmont - as well as the haunting figure of the Lone Cyberman! Listen out, too, for how The Haunting of Villa Diodati conflicts and contrasts with other stories set in the same location on the same night from the Big Finish catalogue.

Christian Cawley, James McLean, and Brian Terranova reconvene for another in-depth chat about the latest episode of Doctor Who. Can You Hear Me? is an episode featuring a mix of time travel, classic-style villains, and a message of the week. Is the topical aspect of the show too heavy handed, as many have suggested? Or is there more to that approach? Hopefully we're some way to scratching at the answer to this question. Meanwhile, there is plenty more to talk about, not least the falling ratings of Doctor Who. What can the BBC do about it, short of forcing people to watch the TVs that they pay for and petition the government to ban Netflix? We jest... or do we? There's only one way to find out - hit play!

This week's Doctor Who episode is Praxeus, in which the show takes another Lettsian view of man's relationship with the planet Earth. But was the message too heavy handed, or did it work as part of the plot? Christian Cawley and Brian Terranova discuss this point and many others on this week's podcast. PLUS: Nicholas Parsons and Rotten Tomatoes. Shownotes Facebook threat on Praxeus (https://www.facebook.com/podkasterborous/posts/2771330356276796?__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARBQyGjQd_xGSZhwGzC5eN82IOcg2LFawv9cTS9L5sw2ymmtWITAW14lHC4unWA1erh3dYuU7pezWTHD2fayRjbuaUgAun_34hr_jSgvCM6oCoM5axAlErNX40fqjwwUkB94DcXHeNKzJeKoNCETBl8C1BVgDsV7aofdURr4Cdoq7DkvMjk3Gbmcv81OzEd6QDVf4gHN_U-gRos3G4Ncj1O59tkKAO4pfOp7IrleF1Ctlo3MoP_M-Mb-CsGv8ElmPoBanOVR0BlPHFg83Hb_RC_A5TOsBpeAqae5XuSZR3-wzBMzEVRSFsegkHj2oCUkaDvkZp3SlxrD_cSH9tM-7A&__tn__=-R) RIP Nicholas Parsons (https://thedoctorwhocompanion.com/2020/01/31/nicholas-parsons-1923-2020/) Has Rotten Tomatoes removed Doctor Who Series 12 reviews?

Time travel back to 2006 with Christian Cawley and Brian Terranova as we talk all the way through The Runaway Bride, starring David Tennant and Catherine Tate. Merry Christmas, and a happy 2020 from all of us.

Doctor Who's new trailer for Series 12 and the shows's 56th anniversary are the topics of conversation this week. Some interesting thoughts about the future and the best anniversary stories, too... With Christian Cawley, James McLean, and Brian Terranova!

This week's show is largely a chat about the comparative lack of necessity for the Star Wars "Origins" movies, Rogue One and Solo. Meanwhile, coming soon on BBC 1 is a new adaptation of H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds. But of more immediate interest is whether Brian Terranova has experienced Jeff Wayne's seminal concept album... Shownotes Guy Henry as CGI Grand Moff Tarkin in Rogue One (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlSn50_BePU) Star Wars vs The Dambusters (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNdb03Hw18M) War of the Worlds BBC TV series (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME4r3tF6zaM) Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds (https://amzn.to/2pzVvCE)

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.

PodKast with a K co-founder Brian Terranova has decided to step down from the BeyondKasterborous team. This week, Christian Cawley remembers some of the high points of his pan-Atlantic collaboration with Brian, covering their work together on Kasterborous.com, the Time Leech comic strip, and of course, the PodKast with a K. Listen out for some clips from the first few podKasts back in 2007.

Well, it's been a nice summer, but we're back! James McLean and Brian Terranova are in the hotseat this week, steering conversation from The X-Files to Star Wars: The Last Jedi via Spider-Man: Homecoming and comedy in order to try and work out why real life keeps permeating fiction. Why can't escapism be just that? We're not sure if the answer is out there (although the truth is, undoubtedly), but note that this week's podKast includes some spoilers.

Join Christian Cawley and Brian Terranova as they take a look at World Enough and Time, the penultimate episode of #DoctorWho Series 10. Will Bill survive? Have we finally understood time dilation? Will the Mondasian #Cybermen ever fly? And just how soon did we recognise John Simm? Click play to find out! #PeterCapaldi, #StevenMoffat, #TheMaster,

Later than planned, here's Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian Terranova discussing Mark Gatiss' #DoctorWho Series 10 Ice Warriors romp, Empress of Mars!

We're back! And so are the Truth Monks. But who are they, really? Could there be something more to them and their tech? Or is it all just a coincidence? Christian Cawley, Brian Terranova and James McLean discuss the latest episode of #DoctorWho Series 10, The Pyramid at the End of the World -- plus some of your own thoughts, collected from Facebook and Twitter.

Later than planned, it's time to take a look at Thin Ice, the third episode in #DoctorWho Series 10. This week's #podcast has an unusual format, which has been brought about by technical issues. In short, our original podcast failed to record, so we've put together a sort of vox pops show, with contributions from Brian Terranova, James McLean, James Lomond, and Gareth Kavanagh. Thanks to all involved. Hit play to hear our thoughts on Thin Ice.

In this week's #DoctorWho podKast, Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian Terranova land in a parallel universe in which they find the new series is great! OK, not quite: it's actually happening in our universe. Yes, you're genuinely listening to the podKast with a K, ladies and gentlemen, in which nice things are said about Steven Moffat, Doctor Who, and Frank Cottrell-Boyce's new episode, #Smile.

What happened to the Twelfth Doctor's character in #DoctorWho Series 9? James McLean and Brian Terranova look back at Series 8 and see some worrying developments in how Peter Capaldi's Doctor was written across his two series...

We're back in 2017 -- amazingly, our 10th anniversary -- and we bear sad tidings: you deserve better #DoctorWho. Sure, 'The Return of Doctor Mysterio' isn't bad, but neither is it good. Christian Cawley, Brian Terranova and James McLean are on hand to disseminate (and, indeed, detonate) a Doctor Who reality bomb in true Dalek style, and hopefully just remind you what the show needs to be for it's long-term survival: in short, popular.

Merry Christmas! To celebrate glad tidings on Earth and goodwill to all men - not to mention Time Lords defeating alien invasions -- we bring you our own commentary of The Christmas Invasion, 2005's very own season special that finally introduced David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor. James McLean, Brian Terranova and Christian Cawley are your hosts. So gird your loins, grab your remote controls, and try to hit play at around the right moment. Oh, and hope things don't go a bit timey-wimey...

Chris Chibnall's sweeping brush might be set to rebuild Doctor Who from scratch, but does that really include Peter Capaldi? And is John Barrowman returning to Doctor Who, or is there a Torchwood TV revival in the offing? Find out in this week's podKast with a K, with Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian Terranova...!

We've been looking forward to sharing our thoughts on the #DoctorWho classic serial Earthshock, from 1982 -- and this week, you've got almost TWO HOURS of commentary and discussion. Join Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian Terranova as they delve into the Peter Davison classic, which saw the departure of the tragic Adric from the TARDIS, and the return of the Cybermen. EXCELLENT!

We have a mammoth #DoctorWho podKast for you this week as Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian Terranova provide you with a minute-by-minute commentary of 1989 classic The Curse of Fenric (http://amzn.to/298bpLA), starring Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred. But we're not watching the standard four-part edit; rather, we're "going to the movies" and instead enjoying the special edition, which was included on the 2003 DVD release of the story. Want to join in? Get your DVD loaded up (it's on Disc 2), and get ready to hit play when we do...

We've got a new #DoctorWho commentary for you in this week's show, as Brian Terranova and James McLean bring you their scene-by-scene thoughts of the 1965 classic, The Space Museum. Whether you've got your DVD ready to watch alongside us, or you're listening in the car, enjoy their discussion, which even takes in ways in which Doctor Who might be rebooted or retooled...

You never expect it... then it happens. That's the secret of time travel, and in a weird, timey-wimey episode, Christian Cawley and Brian Terranova this week discovered the world of a 1980s #DoctorWho radio show, as a pair of radio hosts (with our names, bizarrely) chatted about their excitement over new Doctor Who star Colin Baker, and the excellent Caves of Androzani episode 3 that they had just watched...

Brian Terranova, James McLean and Christian Cawley welcome you to another #DoctorWho podKast with a K, this week talking about Class, the BBC's scheduling concerns, and whether Doctor Who should move away from the format established in 2005 and embrace some of the changes in TV drama since. What do you think? Click play below to listen, and then let us know.

Episodes 3 and 4 of the four-part 1979 adventure The Horns of Nimon get the kommenatary treatment this week. James McLean, Brian Terranova and Gareth Kavanagh await your company, so cue your DVD, and hit play...

We're back with our first podKast of 2016. And while it looks as though we won't have any #DoctorWho until the final quarter of the year at the earliest, there is a heck of a lot of stuff to talk about. So join Christian Cawley, Brian Terranova and James McLean as they weigh up everything that's piqueing their interest in the first half of 2016, such as The #X-Files, Ripper Street, #GameofThrones, Death in Paradise, Midsomer Murders and more. PLUS: plenty of Doctor Who, a #Sherlock review and even some Monty Python talk!

Couldn't #DoctorWho Series 9 have finished with a less contentious episode than the disappointing but not really all that bad #HellBent? Capaldi was wonderful once again, as was Coleman - but did the Doctor - and Moffat - really have to go that far with the storyline only to wind up not killing Clara after all? With Christian Cawley, James McLean - and through the wonder of timey wimey editing, Brian Terranova.

So, that was an odd week. In the midst of some conscious uncoupling from Kasterborous, James McLean and Brian Terranova embark on a discussion of Doctor Who Series 9, episode 3: Under the Lake. Considering elements like direction, theme, and even whether the episode should have a different name, James and Brian also spend a few moments trying to get their heads around Class, the new Doctor Who spinoff that nobody was calling out for... Look out for cameos from Christian Cawley and Gareth Kavanagh.

We have a packed podKast for you this week, dear listener, as Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian Terranova attempt to get their heads around daylight savings time, the 12 (now 13) covers offered by Titan for their Ninth Doctor #DoctorWho #comic mini-series and Steven Moffat's claims that the BBC would do a Paternoster Gang spin-off "in a heartbeat". The centrepiece of the podKast is probably Christian's chat with Kenton Hall about his upcoming movie, A Dozen Summers, which features Sixth Doctor Who Colin Baker, and look out, as ever, for our recommendations...

A two-part #DoctorWho season finale?! It's like the halcyon days of the RTD era, with Cybermen and the Master wandering around, isn't it? Except, of course, the Master has a new name, #Missy, and a brand new look, and the Kasterborous team isn't quite unanimous on the gender switching of the Doctor's Time Lord rival. Join Christian Cawley, Brian Terranova and James McLean as the discuss Dark Water, the Master/Missy transition and give their recommendations for stuff to enjoy between episodes.

Is #Flatline the new Blink? Was the #DoctorWho podKast team wowed, or did bad CGI take them out of the moment? Join Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian Terranova for a new podKast in which they discuss the latest episode from Doctor Who Series 8 and cover a few recent news items. Look out for their recommendations at the end of the show!

It's time to set it straight: was Mummy on the Orient Express the best episode of #DoctorWho Series 8, or has everyone just gone mad, seeing things that aren't there and only living for another 66 seconds? Christian Cawley, Brian Terranova and James McLean find out...

It's time to sit back and enjoy this week's #DoctorWho podKast, in which Brian Terranova and James McLean consider the events of the past few days in fandom, focusing on the third episode of Series 8, Robot of Sherwood!

Here it is: our final podKast before #DoctorWho Series 8 changes the show forever! Previewing Peter Capaldi's first 12-episode run this week is Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian Terranova, who are literally chomping at the bit to watch and enjoy Deep Breath on Saturday! So, you know the topic - but what else is in store? Well, we cover the full confirmed list of episode titles and writers, the leaking of Robot of Sherwood on Bittorrent, press (and our own) reports that Jenna Coleman is leaving Doctor Who, and as ever we have our trio of recommendations. Finally, don't miss the details for the big news: next week's podKast will be recorded LIVE on Google Hangouts and we'll be inviting feedback and discussion from our listener(s)!

This week’s podKast reunites Christian Cawley, Brian Terranova and James McLean as they mull over a whole host of recent news items. We get excited by the enthusiastic press reviews for Deep Breath, have a chinwag about the audacity of the #DoctorWhoWorldTour and celebrate 15 years of #BigFinish producing #DoctorWho adventures (and here’s to another 15!). Meanwhile, we have a think about just how Steven Moffat can possibly work in a decent explanation for Peter Capaldi’s face having appeared in Doctor Who previously, before agreeing (quite reasonably!) that IT DOESN’T ACTUALLY MATTER! Finally, we offer you a trio of recommendations, all Doctor Who and each interesting in their own right…

We're back, and my word what a packed podKast we have, brimming with #DoctorWho news from the past week - because, frankly, there has been a lot. From Steven Moffat's unusual comment about the Doctor not referring to himself as the "nth" (no one said he did, did they?!) to the recent Peter Capaldi interview in the Sunday Times Magazine, Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian Terranova cover a lot of ground and share their thoughts about these and many more topics. Recording this on Monday afternoon, the heat possibly played a part in some... confused comments from both Christian and James. We'll say it was the heat, anyway, and hope it was nothing to do with some saddening reliance on ginger beer. So, with all this in mind, it's time to hit play!

Hello, dear listener, and welcome to this week's podKast in which we cover some of the latest #DoctorWho Series 8 news and ask the question: if Doctor Who changed drastically (such as casting a woman Doctor or canning the #TARDIS), would you quit fandom? It's an interesting question, prompted by the actions of a fellow writer recently. As ever, we're looking forward to hearing back from you on this topic and everything else we cover this week, so feel free to comment below, tweet us or email. Sadly there is no Brian Terranova this week, who was sadly caught out with some time travelling freedom fighting on Peladon. Fortunately, Christian Cawley and James McLean are on hand to take your hand and guide you through some exciting, pre-new series news items. Just to remind you: Doctor Who is on air next month. Yes, I thought you would like that :) Here's something else you might like - press play to begin!

In what can only be described as a warm, fireside chat about #DoctorWho, Brian Terranova and James McLean take their lead from a couple of news and feature articles recently on Kasterborous and take them for a walk. Like a free-form Jazz duet, James and Brian lurch from classic to nuWho, the death of traditional fan meetups vs their modern Internet-driven successors and chat about Philadelphia Wizard World (where Brian was cosplaying the Tenth Doctor), Torchwood and the Master! You may well ask what else they squeezed, but we couldn't possibly tell you. Just hit play to find out :)

The podKast is back this week with a spinoff of our hugely popular on-site discussion - thanks to Andy Frankham-Allen - about the inherent issues with #Torchwood, the #DoctorWho spinoff that ran from 2006-2011. Following this we take a look at the issue of colourisation, and whether it should be used on any classic #DoctorWho serials (or indeed whether any of them should be decolourised!). Join Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian Terranova for an hour of Whoniverse chat and occasional madness.

Kasterborous #DoctorWho podKastWe've a special guest on this week's Doctor Who podKast in the shape of Gareth Kavanagh, who joins us for a full hour (and the rest) of news discussion and fanzine sparring. As well as covering Steven Moffat's recent comments at the Hay Festival, Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian Terranova also quiz Gareth on this thoughts about the possibility of Doctor Who ending back in 2008, the recent attempt to shift a 16mm film of The Wheel in Space part 3 on eBay and there's even time to have a chat about the amazing Doctor Who/Rocky Horror Show mashup by The Hillywood Show, which if you haven't seen yet should be clicked immediately in the shownotes below. After that, we still managed to squeeze in a little preview about Vworp Vworp! issue 3 (which features an interview with #AlanMoore), which is still in production, and Gareth had some interesting questions for Christian and James about Kasterborous Magazine 2, which is out now. Time to hit play!

It's the full podKast team this week as Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian Terranova look at the recent news and discussions in the world of #DoctorWho. We've got chat and speculation about Series 8 and the role of the volcanic island of Lanzarote, a return to the podKast of The Horns of Nimon, speculation about Colin Baker's rumoured casting in the new #StarWars movie and the very popular film episode from The Wheel In Space that appeared on eBay this week. If all of that wasn't enough, we also get sidetracked on several occasions, not least by the difference in names of toys and TV shows between the UK and USA, and in what may become a weekly thing, Christian manages to squeeze a mention of his favourite group #LedZeppelin into the podKast. Hit play to get started!

Brian Terranova rejoins the podKast this week with Christian Cawley and James McLean, ready to throw his thoughts into the ring on a number of topics, from David Tennant's US accent to how much healthier Matt Smith is looking since he quit #DoctorWho. Throw in some now-obligatory missing episodes talk, Brian's awesome TARDIS key collection and mention of his nemesis Paul McGann's Cat (a commenter in these parts) and you'll soon wonder how James and Christian ever manage to get to the end of a show when he isn't around. Indeed, it's enough to make you wish that Brian Terranova lived here in the UK. But if he did, we'd have to change the time we do the podKast. So, press play and enjoy!

It's #Doctor Who podKast time, and this week we have a nice long chat about the various looks that the Doctor has had over the years and ask: what would you wear? Faced with the prospect of chatting about a heckuva lot of Doctor Who news, Christian Cawley and James McLean cope admirably with the onslaught of interesting talking points with their usual irreverence and insight before getting stuck into the issue of time travelling attire in the classic and modern series. With no Brian Terranova this time around, you'll probably find that on this occasion his absence is almost unnoticed. After all, it's a topic that he might have ended up dominating, what with his cosplay tendencies... Listen out for lots of talk about Jon Pertwee's waistcoat, Peter Capaldi's real-life attire and Matt Smith and Benedict Cumberbatch denying interest in each other's shows. Oh and the recommendations are pretty good too!

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!

We're in contentious territory this week as #DoctorWho fans Christian Cawley, Brian Terranova and James McLean try to run the rule over the ongoing "should there be a female Doctor" debate. Yes. We know. Additionally, there is talk of steampunk in Doctor Who and how it pre-dates the TV Movie, and also a chat about the recent alleged episode synopses for Series 8. As always, we've got some recommendations for you too.

Join Christian Cawley, Brian Terranova and James McLean as they disassemble #DoctorWho and put it back together again - much like the TARDIS in the Mind Robber, or Frontios if you prefer. This week, we mull the lack of a real part 3 in rediscovered serial The Web of Fear, the evolution of the Cybermen and how this was influenced by design teams before it became a running theme in the show, and our usual recommendations.

Wow, so much to get through in this week's podKast, from Peter Capaldi's first #DoctorWho photoshoot to missing episodes - stopping off at the fascinating topic of "was John Hurt cast to replace Christopher Eccleston or not?" on the way. The podKast team of Christian Cawley, Brian Terranova and James McLean have an interesting hour of discussion for you, and just because we love you, dear listener, we've left in a segment in which Christian and James BOTH dry up, with hilarious consequences! We also have a nice collection of recommendations for you, from Wiffle Lever to Full by Bob Fischer to The Beginning from Big Finish.

This week, we set our sights on Christmas Day and Matt Smith's sad departure from #DoctorWho. It is, indeed, The Time of the Doctor, and there is much to discuss... Also, look out for news of Brian Terranova's new Doctor Who/Torchwood fan film series as well as the latest on our Daleks' Master Plan graphic novel and our usual recommendations. We also take a look back at 2013 and our favourite Doctor Who moments from the last 12 months (with one stipulation: no 50th anniversary stuff).

This week’s podKast (with a “K”) gets in an early celebratory mood for Christmas with a selection of recommendations, a chat about Brian Terranova’s latest Sonic Screwdriver prop and a look at new iPhone/Android game #DoctorWho: Legacy, in a section that also chats with the game’s developers.

James McLean, Brian Terranova and Kasterborous editor Christian Cawley discuss #DoctorWho's 50th anniversary feature-length episode The Day of the Doctor and also spend a few moments on An Adventure in Space and Time and The Five(ish) Doctors – Reboot. We also cover various continuity questions raised by the Doctor’s successful saving of Gallifrey. (This week's podKast was recorded in front of a live Google Hangouts audience.)

This week's Kasterborous podKast (with a "K") covers a lot of ground, so gird your loins dear listener and prepare yourself for a journey through time, space and vague grasps of copyright law! We kick off this week's show with a chat about the wonderful new trailers for The Day of the Doctor before focusing our sharp legal brains at Stef Coburn's claim that his father Anthony Coburn - writer of the first #DoctorWho story - invented the TARDIS and could the BBC kindly pay up. As unlikely as that might sound, we urge you not to get too upset about his attitude - after all, Brian Terranova will be regaling you with tales of chats with Simon Fisher-Becker, Ian McNeice and Sylvester McCoy at last week's L.I.Who event!

In our continuing but loosely-defined run up to the #DoctorWho 50th anniversary, we cast our minds back 10 years in this week's podKast to the 40th anniversary. Yes, there was a 40th anniversary of our favourite show, but you'd be hard-pressed to recall anything particularly significant about it. Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian Terranova give it a go, however, mentioning Big Finish audio Zagreus, Scream of the Shalka and even 35th anniversary novel The Infinity Doctors by Lance Parkin.

This week's podKast was a live event on Google Hangouts. If you missed it or can't catch up on YouTube, have no fear, the standard friendly audio-only version is here for you to enjoy! Listen as Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian Terranova recall 1973's The Three Doctors.

This week's podKast covers a trio of topical Doctor Who news items AND gives you the chance to win a copy of Doctor Who: The Vault from BBC Books! James McLean, Christian Cawley and Brian Terranova are on hand to offer their thoughts and discuss the recent #SaveTheDay teaser, the sad tone to the rediscovered William Hartnell interview and Steven Moffat's suggestion that Fires of Pompeii's Caecilius and Torchwood: Children of Earth's John Frobisher resemblance to the Twelfth Doctor (for obvious reasons) will be written into the show. We'll leave you to listen to the show rather than challenge you to guess as to what we thought about these topics (although the word Atlantis is uttered with derision...) but note that the competition is towards the end. We need you email your answer christian@kasterborous.com.

Curious things took place at the K Towers virtual studio this week, resulting in an hour long podKast that somehow went unrecorded! Being the passionate Doctor Who fans that we are, of course, we pushed on, recording an approximation of the original that attempts to be as honest and genuine as possible. Sadly, one key result of this is the minimal presence of Brian Terranova, who could only hang around as long as the intro. However, we think you'll agree that his intro is perhaps one of our best yet, and is one that sets up the rest of the show perfectly. This week, we cover the San Diego Comic Con, namely the trailers for An Adventure in Space and Time and the Doctor Who 50th anniversary - and the crucial matter of Karen Gillan's newly-shorn locks. #doctorwho #sdcc #comiccon #podcast

It's time for the Kasterborous podKast (with a "K") to turn its attention to Doctor Who's triumphant return of the Ice Warriors in our Cold War review. Once again without Brian Terranova, this is another two-hander with James McLean and Christian Cawley mulling over the Mark Gatiss episode, discussing the casting and the monster redesign. But we're not going to simply talk about the new episode - after all, the 50th anniversary episode has been shooting in London recently, and Paul McGann has been making "come and get me" noises to BBC Wales. Oh, and then there's the issue of scheduling. Brought to you in an unscheduled rant.

Dear Kasterborite, it is March, Doctor Who is back within a matter of days, so to get you in the mood here is the latest Kasterborous podKast (with a "K")! The full team of Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian Terranova is on board this week to discuss a selection of topical and interesting subjects. If you're intrigued by the possibility of former companions turning up in the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special - then so are we! We're also excited by the Ice Warriors, although rueful that the great Russell T Davies won't be involved in the anniversary year. Have you been watching Broadchurch? James, Brian and Christian offer their thoughts on the new show starring David Tennant and The Eleventh Hour's Olivia Colman (along with David Bradley and Arthur Darvill) and for one week only we've introduced a new drinking game! All you need to do is prepare your favourite alcoholic beverage and take a swig each time you hear the input of Time Tot Erin-Rose Cawley, who makes several unscheduled appearances this week.

A little later than usual, it's time for the podKast! This week, Christian, James McLean and Brian Terranova discuss the horror that is.... Pip and Jane Baker! The husband-and-wife team had four sets of scripts on Doctor Who in the 1980s: Mark of the Rani, Terror of the Vervoids, The Ultimate Foe part 2 (both from the Trial of a Time Lord season) and Time and the Rani. Some of these adventures are considered okay... others the very nadir of the show's almost-fifty years. But: were they really to blame? Is their reputation as a pair of clueless hacks deserved? Was it simply a case of two capable and experienced writers left to do too much... has their reputation as professionals been sullied by Time and the Rani? It's a complex topic, one that we thought we should tackle! Please note that during the recording of this episode we were... let's say "challenged"...by circumstances beyond our control. As a result this podKast comes with warning as it includes adult language.

In honour of the late Caroline John, this Doctor Who podcast focuses almost completely (with a quick mention of Daleks and asylums) on Season 7, the make-or-break series from 1970 starring Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor, John as Dr Liz Shaw and Nick Courtney as the legendary Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart. This week, it's just James McLean and Christian Cawley, but don't let the absence of regular Brian Terranova put you off... Let us know if you have any thoughts of your own on this Season 7 or Caroline John!

What happens when to all intents and purposes, it seems that a Doctor Who costume is just wrong? This week's Kasterborous podKast (with a "K") turns its attention to the matter of the Doctor's sartorial elegance (or in some cases, lack of...) There isn't a single incarnation of the friendly Time Lord who hasn't raised eyebrows with his choice of attire. While some choices have been great, others have been... less successful, shall we say. Christian Cawley, Brian Terranova and James McLean have a right old chat about the situation in the latest podKast, concluding with a declaration of their individual favourite looks across Doctor Who's history. 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?

Chewing the fat on what has been taking place in the Doctor Who world lately are Brian Terranova, James McLean and Christian Cawley, who despite their obvious, unrivalled professionalism on the podKast haven't received a Bafta lately (or, indeed, at all). Fear not, however, at least one of them has been in the same room as two of the subjects of this week's podKast with a K - Steven "The Grand Moff" Moffat (aka The Moffinator) and Matt Smith. This week we look at Steven Moffat's much-deserved Bafta award and some of the odd reaction to this on Twitter, as well as chat about Matt Smith carrying the Olympic torch (and being slightly distracted by the issue of blanket coverage of the subject).

This week's Kasterborous podKast (with a "K") features regulars Christian Cawley, Brian Terranova and James McLean discussing the legendary Robert Holmes, one of the classic series' most prolific and remarkable writers... ...or was he? Well, that's the crux of the conversation, which follows on from James' assertion that as good as Holmes was, a good portion of his serials weren't all that good and his reputation is slightly overstated. There begins a vast chat in which we discuss and compare Holmes, Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat.

The history of Doctor Who videogames is littered with good intentions, but sadly along the way there have been many disappointments. With the release of Doctor Who: Worlds in Time and Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock, BBC Worldwide hope to push the concept beyond the disappointment of Return to Earth or Dalek Attack. But just what will it take? Featuring an interview with BBC Worldwide's Simon Harris, this week's (delayed) podKast (with a "K") features James McLean, Christian Cawley (and Brian Terranova) discussing games such as Destiny of the Doctors and Doctor Who: The Adventure Games. Using the player above you can enjoy the podKast right now. Alternatively, you will also find this podKast listed on iTunes (http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/kasterborous-doctor-who-news/id428620617) , and most other places you can find podcasts.

Surprised by the discovery of a long-lost Doctor Who audio script recorded by Peter Cushing and written by Malcolm Hulke? We certainly were, and when contacted by the Nothing at the End of the Lane chaps last week we had to double-take. If like us reading about the new material in the Times wasn't quite enough for you, the latest edition of the most thorough of fan publications is probably where you should be heading right now (http://www.endofthelane.co.uk/magazine.html). No doubt like us you also felt that this has all come as something as a complete surprise. James McLean, Brian Terranova and Christian Cawley decided to tackle this particular topic in their latest podKast, dovetailing off occasionally to discuss the 1960s Dalek movies starring Peter Cushing. Not listened to our podKast yet? You can "entertain" yourself with our unique brand of anarchic Whovian whimsy for around 30 minutes by subscribing on iTunes, where you'll find a review. (We didn't write it.)

Last week Brian Terranova and Christian Cawley were both fortunate enough to be able to visit some live Doctor Who-related events, so we're focussing on discussing these topics this week. Brian was invited onto a Doctor Who panel at the Kotoricon event, so regaled the team with stories of cosplay and topics that were discussed. Meanwhile Christian travelled to Manchester to view the live (Doctor-free) performance of Russell T Davies' "Midnight". Poor old James did nothing, but that's okay on this occasion as he is able to ask the right questions on your behalf, dear listener. If you haven't listened to our podKast yet, our listener is getting lonely so if you do feel like trying it you can entertain yourself with Whovian whimsy for 30 or so minutes by finding us on Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/kasterborous-doctor-who-podkast-with-a-k/id1045277918) , where you'll find some surprisingly complimentary reviews...

The latest Kasterborous podKast (with a "K") discusses the Missing Believed Wiped event in December and the discovery of long-lost 1960s episodes of Doctor Who. With Christian Cawley, Brian Terranova and James McLean

A little later than intended, the latest Kasterborous podKast (with a "K") features Brian Terranova, James McLean and editor Christian Cawley discussing the recent events in the Doctor Who universe, notably the Christmas episode title reveal and trailer from the Children in Need event last week. Of course, we had to have a chat about harry Potter director David Yates' supposed Doctor Who movie project, a topic which we suspect will run and run over the next few months. Whether The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe is a good title or not doesn't really come into it - we're more interested in the inclusion of heavy Christmas trappings for a second time. While Russell T Davies' Doctor Who tended to place Christmas in a more day-to-day context, Steven Moffat seems to place a greater emphasis on the traditional western view of snow, ice, hot fires, dark, creepy rooms, celebration and feast. You can find out just what we think and hope for via this player:

This week James McLean and Brian Terranova discussing the brand new Doctor Who episode Let's Kill Hitler. You'll find both sides of the argument here - James wasn't impressed with the episode and the ongoing River Song story, while Brian loved it. Interesting how a show like Doctor Who can be so divisive, isn't it? They also chat about the Torchwood: Miracle Day episode Immortal Sins, in which we get an interesting insight into Jack's past, much like a classic Torchwood episode...

Brian Terranova, James McLean and guest Patrick Riley are in the hotseat this week for the latest podKast (with "K").
