This is a truly epic discussion with a man who has created so many iconic sounds from Doctor Who. The TARDIS, the Dalek voices and many, many more. Brian Hodgson did special sound for Doctor Who between 1963 - 1972 and returned to the Radiophonic workshop in the 1980's. But like all our guests, there is much more to him than Doctor Who. We'll also chat about some of Brian's other projects over the years.

Hell is empty and the she-devil is here, dearest listeners. As Colin puts a ring on a very inky finger, we'll be joined by an impending sense of doom for our S3E6 rewatch of Deceiving - uh, we mean Romancing - Mister Bridgerton. We'll be chaperoning with Portia, matchmaking with widows and making an announcement of an announcement with a newly-betrothed Frohn. Elsewhere, Minster Hughes will be taking us to church for a reading of the banns, a Creloise break-up and an impromptu loved-up waltz. Seems like Sunday service is the perfect time for confession. Right, Pen? As we discover that ladies do not have dreams and Wills do not have bars, we'll be burning our life's work with Pen and burning the midnight with Colin and his...implements. And with the scribe herself ready for her big entrance, we'll be heading to the Mondriches for the revelation of the Season's greatest secret: a giant flowery Dalek. With a viper on the loose and a fiancé on our tails, we'll be grabbing our pens and carriages for a late night dash to the printers. But has anyone been keeping an eye on Colin? Prepare to unfold, Lady Whistledown.

This week on the Veg Grower Podcast we're embracing the arrival of autumn. I've been reflecting on the kitchen garden, making plans for the allotment through the colder months, and sharing why leaf mould is one of the most valuable resources we can collect at this time of year. Kitchen Garden Update The kitchen garden is still full of food. Kale, turnips, radicchio, beetroot, parsnips, leeks, spinach, cabbages, cauliflowers, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts are all growing strongly — not to mention the fruit scattered throughout the space. That said, this week I've felt a little overwhelmed. The grass had grown long, crops were finishing, and I wasn't sure where to begin. Clearing away spent summer crops was my first job. Beans and peas were cut at ground level, leaving the roots in place to enrich the soil. This not only feeds the soil with nitrogen but also helps improve its structure. I've been topping beds with leftover compost from seed trays and pots, giving the soil a boost of organic matter. It's a reminder that soil health underpins everything — and why no-dig gardening and constant mulching are at the heart of my approach. Pumpkins have also started coming in, with my first small but perfectly ripe one harvested this week. Properly stored, squashes and pumpkins will last us right through winter, making them one of the most rewarding crops to grow. Root crops like beetroot, carrots, and turnips are also ready, while parsnips will be left until after the first frost for extra sweetness. Allotment Update Down on the allotment, colder mornings are a reminder that autumn is well and truly here. Much of my work has focused on weeding and sowing green manures in empty spaces to protect and enrich the soil over winter. Leeks and parsnips have finally put on a growth spurt, thanks to recent rainfall. It's highlighted the importance of organic matter in the soil, something I plan to improve with more compost and possibly manure in the months ahead. An unexpected globe artichoke appeared in an empty bed — self-seeded from somewhere — which I've potted up rather than waste. Meanwhile, a beefsteak tomato plant has produced some enormous fruits that stubbornly refuse to ripen. I've stripped away leaves to encourage ripening, but if the cold comes first, they'll be picked and ripened indoors with a banana. Perhaps most importantly, I've sat down and written a full winter to-do list for the allotment: compost bins, greenhouse repairs, shed tidying, and more. I've added it all into Notion, creating a timeline to keep me on track. Having that plan in place makes the workload feel manageable and ensures I'm ready for spring. Recipe of the Week Chef Scott returns with something special: Spiced Poached Quince with Vanilla Ice Cream. Quinces may not be a common sight in shops, but they're worth growing or seeking out. Slowly poached with cinnamon, star anise, and lemon, they develop a deep red colour and an incredible fragrance. Served hot with vanilla ice cream, it's a true autumn treat. You'll find the full recipe on the blog. In the Podding Shed – Leaf Mould With leaves now falling fast, it's the perfect time to collect them. Leaf mould may not be high in nutrients, but it's a fantastic soil conditioner, seed-sowing medium, and mulch. I collect mine from recreation fields where leaves would otherwise be wasted, never from woodlands or roadsides. At the allotment I use homemade bins from wood and chicken wire to store and rot down the leaves. Over time they break down into a crumbly, woodland-like compost. Leaf mould can be used to mulch fruit trees, protect rhubarb crowns, or improve soil structure. It reduces significantly in volume as it rots, so I also use spare Dalek bins to handle the surplus until it can be transferred. It's a free, abundant resource that really shouldn't be wasted — and one that makes a big difference to the garden.

But is this really the best Doctor Who story as was voted for during the shows 30th anniversary year, or is it a long winded story, bloated with too many characters that serve no purpose other than to be Dalek fodder?

This week's episode of The Veg Grower Podcast is a true slice of life from the garden and allotment. As the height of summer brings its usual mix of challenges and opportunities, I share what I've been up to, what's working, and what I've learned. Here's what you can expect: Allotment Update: Back on Track After weeks of feeling behind, I've finally managed to get the allotment back under control. I spent time working through every bed, tidying, weeding, watering, and harvesting a satisfying haul – including potatoes, broad beans, raspberries, rhubarb, cabbage, gooseberries, and more. I also talk about thinning out my apples and pears by hand this year, due to a surprising lack of the usual June drop. Thinning feels counterintuitive, but the results in fruit size and quality are worth it. Dealing with Weedy Boundaries I touch on the ongoing battle with brambles spilling over from the neighbouring, abandoned allotment. It's a persistent nuisance and a reminder of how quickly things can get out of hand without regular maintenance. Straw Mulch Continues to Prove Itself The ongoing dry weather has made watering a near-daily task – but the beds mulched with straw are noticeably better at retaining moisture. I share just how well it's working, and why I'm planning to mulch all beds with straw after laying compost each year. Filling the Gaps – Mid-Summer Sowing With a few crops failing (including sweetcorn devastated by slugs), and others now harvested, I've started sowing again to avoid empty beds. I walk you through what I'm sowing in the potting shed to fill those gaps: Dwarf French beans Chard Spinach Lettuce Microgreens Plus suggestions for what to sow direct this month: Carrots Beetroot Radish Turnips Kohlrabi Salad crops My approach continues to favour starting in modules to avoid confusion with weeds – except for root crops, which go straight into the soil. Visitors, Filming & The Great Driveway Move It's been a busy week not just in the garden, but at home too. I hosted a filming day with the team from AutoPot, who make one of my favourite irrigation systems. We use their kit in the greenhouse and now in the potting shed – it's a game-changer for watering seedlings and young plants. On top of that, the front driveway is being replaced – a big job, and one that required relocating every single fruit tree and plant growing out front. I talk about what that process was like and why we chose a porous surface to help with drainage and sustainability. Compost Trial Update: HotBin vs Dalek I share the latest progress in our composting experiment between a HotBin and a traditional Dalek bin. The HotBin continues to impress – producing compost more quickly, breaking down volume effectively, and even generating more liquid feed than my wormery. I discuss materials, challenges with browns, and the signs that it's working well. Don't forget the discount code VGP10HB Recipe of the Week: Fennel Salad with Grapefruit & Capers Chef Scott celebrates our seed of the month, Florence Fennel, with a light and refreshing summer salad featuring grapefruit, lemon, capers and olive oil. A perfect pairing with grilled fish or pork – and another clever way to enjoy this bold-flavoured vegetable. Listener Comments & Questions We hear from: Annabel , who shares her support for the podcast and a bit of shed envy! Lynn, who's struggling to stop her pak choi from bolting. I offer some advice: keep the soil moist, offer partial shade, and try spring or autumn sowings when temperatures are cooler. Final Thought:The key message this week? Keep sowing, keep growing, and don't be afraid to try again. Whether it's replanting a failed crop, trying a new composting method, or moving a garden full of fruit trees, there's always something to learn.
In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast.... Random Who - The Mutants They're back! After a few weeks deserved rest, the Who's He?

Well, they certainly get excited about the breakfasts at the Chislehurst Caves! And in the news, the lads get excited at the announcement that season 13 is the next in line to the blu-ray collection treatment.

And so one of Terry Nation's few Dalek-less stories comes to an end, but this tricky production has a few more things to trip people (or Voords) up before it finally goes out with a bang. There are still script changes to be made, and typos to overcome, but two of its personnel went on to have very different but equally illustrious careers, and they are both profiled herein: and both kindly lent their assitance to the compiling of this episode. Sadly actor Michael Allaby passed away in between contributing to this podcast and its release, and so it is dedicated to his memory with thanks. #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary #doctorwhocomedian #tobyhadoke #doctorwhofacts #positivedoctorwho #classicdoctorwho Please support these podcasts on Patreon, where you will get advance releases, exclusive content (including a patron-only podcast - Far Too Much Information), regular AMAs and more.
