Podcast appearances and mentions of Carole Ann Ford

The last episode of season two has aired and been reviewed, which means it's time for the wrap-up episode! Kat, Liz, and Tansy have gathered to give their opinion on Ncuti's time as the Doctor, the wonderful companion Belinda Chandra, and create their wishlists for the future of Doctor Who. As for the future of Verity! the podcast is taking a break for now, but we'll let you know what's next as soon as we know. Lynne and Erika couldn't make the episode, but they've given their Doctor Who future wishlists: Erika's Wishlist: 1. I want MORE WRITERS! My favourite eps have been the non-RTD eps, and I would like more of those (preferably from a very diverse set of writers). 2. I want new blood at the helm -- someone who grew up on the modern series not the classic series. And for the love of Susan, not a white dude, please. 3. Speaking of Susan, I'd like Carole Ann Ford to get an actual, proper appearance that genuinely works and isn't weird nonsense. (Yes, I'm referring to both her onscreen appearances and the rumours of what was supposed to happen before the rewrites. I think it's all nonsense.) Lynne's Wishlist: 1. I wish that the BBC would openly recognize Doctor Who as a unique and wonderful thing that only the BBC could have created and be proud of it instead of treating it more often than not as something they grudgingly tolerate. 2. I wish for a sufficient number of well-crafted episodes to directly match up with the time and money that are available to create them. 3. I wish for more bold and inclusive storytelling. This season felt like Doctor Who was starting to find its groove again, and I would hate to lose that momentum. 4. BRING BACK RIVER SONG! Dearest listener, what does your wishlist for Doctor Who look like? What have we missed in our reviews? Leave us a comment or join the discussion on Instagram and Bluesky.

With a new non-fiction Doctor Who book on the horizon, this time looking at the creation of Doctor Who back in 1963, Rob sits down for the third time in the life of the podcast with friend of the show and the book's author, Paul Hayes. Pull To Open: 1962–1963: The Inside Story of How the BBC Created and Launched Doctor Who is available from Ten Acre Films on July 24, 2023. = = = ‘Fresh and compelling… As definitive an account of those early years as I have read' Toby Hadoke When Doctor Who began on Saturday November 23 1963, few could have guessed that it marked the start of perhaps the most extraordinary story in the history of BBC television drama. But there had already been another story, equally extraordinary yet unseen, leading up to the transmission of that opening episode – the creation of the series itself. Pull to Open explores the behind-the-scenes saga of Doctor Who in 1963, when a chain of events at the BBC brought together a disparate group to launch what would become one of British TV's best-loved and most successful programmes. It's the story of why these events happened; the BBC creative culture into which Doctor Who was born; how television drama was made in the early 1960s; and an insight into the people who started this epic journey. Drawing from the BBC's written archives and new interviews with some of those who were there, including Doctor Who's first director Waris Hussein and original co-star Carole Ann Ford, Pull to Open is a detailed and comprehensive account of the programme's path to the screen. Immerse yourself in the world of BBC Television in 1963 and discover how a series which was almost cancelled before a single episode was shown survived to cement its place in the popular culture of a nation. Foreword by Toby Hadoke

Straight Outta Gallifrey made sure to go back, or forward, or sideways...I lose track sometimes, to revisit the Susan Foreman stories.  Is she a Time Lady?  Ashford is unsure.  Siskoid is convinced that she is.  No matter.  Covering these stories featuring the lovely Carole Ann Ford has been such a delight.   Listen as Ashford, Siskoid, and Joe Dredd discuss the Dalek Invasion of Earth!      

We celebrate Shannon's favourite Timelord, born June 8th, with a collection of goodies! Something Borrowed, a 50th Anniversary E-Shorts Story, Slipback, a BBC Audio Drama and Soul's Ark a small-budget horror/SF film starring Baker, Wendy Padbury and Carole Ann Ford.

Trailer! Teaser? Either way, a rather brief look at Series 11 of Doctor Who that shows the new friends Ryan, Yasmin, and Graham, a brief shot of Jodie Whittaker as Doctor Who #13, and several unhealthy food options was released to the world just before this podcast recording!

We bring our year of companions to a close by returning to the very first one, Susan. (Though apparently that distinction is up for debate, as is anything and everything in Doctor Who!) Join Deb, Erika, and Liz as we talk about Susan's tenure on the show and her place in the pantheon of companions. Does she reverberate throughout the history of the show? Or is she an outlier? It's a fun discussion! Then Deb interviews Carole Ann Ford herself at LI Who. Listen in as they chat about Susan from the perspective of the woman who brought her to life! What do you think of Susan? And how do you think she fits into the history of the show? Let us know in the comments! ^E Related links [on our site]:Lazy Doctor Who reviews "The Sensorites"An Earthly Child from Big FinishCompanion Piece: Women Celebrate the Humans, Aliens and Tin Dogs of Doctor Who"Dimensions in Time"

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!
