Podcast appearances and mentions of Jacqueline Rayner

Send us a textIn this festive special Dylan is joined by Luke Molloy and Mark Donaldson to talk about some festive treats. First up they look at Christmas songs Doctor Who stars including John Barrowman's Christmas album. Then it's the short story 'The Christmas Inversion' written by Jacqueline Rayner and featuring The Third Doctor, Jo and Yates Jackie. And finally they listen to Tom Baker reading 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens. And as always answer the burning questions:Is David Tennant the next Bono? Is Santa Omnisexual? What is a Jazz pizza express? 

Join Joe, Andrew and Luke as we head back to the 1960s where it all began to read a short but powerful novella about how the Doctor touched the lives of one family, and a little boy called Gerry...

Siskoid and AJ. talk Ian Chesterton in a 1st Doctor adventure, where actor William Russell is reading the pros of writer Jacqueline Rayner.  Using the transit of Venus to find Australia not only makes for a wonderful plot and a look into history, but an interesting story about Susan's telepathic ability and a character study of the lead campanion and his role and purpose in the T.A.R.D.I.S. crew. We would love to get your feedback about this episode and previous episodes of Straight Outta Gallifrey.  Contact us at the following places:   www.thehuntresspodcast.com prydonian.post@gmail.com X @sogallifrey www.patreon.com/wrightonnetwork

  The Sixth Doctor returns, and he's thrown straight in at the deep end! Travelling the galaxy with Melanie Bush and their brand-new companion, marine biologist Hebe Harrison, there are wonders to see, dangers to face and plenty of peril beneath the waves. 1.1 The Rotting Deep by Jacqueline Rayner (2 parts) A mysterious SOS summons the Doctor and Mel to an oil rig in the North Sea where a dwindling group of survivors awaits rescue from a lethal menace. One of their number is Hebe Harrison, a wheelchair-using marine biologist who is definitely more than she seems. Can our heroes escape the rig? And just what is killing off the rig's beleaguered crew? 1.2 The Tides of the Moon by Joshua Pruett (2 parts) For Hebe's first trip in the TARDIS, the Doctor and Mel take her to the nearest available 'water world' – the Moon, two billion years in the past! Its advanced humanoid inhabitants, the Gilleans, are terrorised each night by their monstrous enemies, the Sheega. Even more worrying is that in a matter of hours, this ocean world will be laid waste by the gravitational interference of the blue-green planet next door... 1.3 Maelstrom by Jonathan Morris (2 parts) The Doctor, Mel and Hebe visit the archipelago world of Veludia, only to discover a planet beset by electromagnetic storms where three survivors traverse the seas in a ramshackle township. These survivors are 'corps' - bodies used as hosts for minds stored in the vessel's ‘mind-drive' - and the Doctor, Mel and Hebe are seen as welcome replacements. But there's something lurking in the waters below, something of rage and power that wishes to destroy them all: the Maelstrom!

Topics include: Moving to N'awlins, ketchup on hotdogs, JB's podcast anniversary, lurking thru the tweets from Gallifrey One, Paul Cornell gas lighting a fan on Twitter, apparently criticism now equals toxic fandom, the f*cking David Tennant rumors, Chris & Sean present The Doctor Who Book Club, Sean insults Gary Russell to his face, Chris gets triggered by Jacqueline Rayner's writing, JB gets dissed by Graeme Burk, what pronouns we should be using for the Doctor, the Venn diagram of the transgender community and the Doctor Who fan community, JB is the rim-shot king, Thasmine wasn't planned, the true definition of fangirls and fanboys, recording The TARDIS Tavern at a VFW, getting traumatized by a William Hartnell love scene, Sean can't remember Christopher Eccleston's name, Lydia West will probably be the next Doctor, farewell to Chicago motherf*ckers!

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to. This is a collection of highlights from shows thirteen to eighteen, featuring Will Maclean on Once Upon A Time... Man, Una McCormack on Screw-Top Virgin Marys, Rae Earl on Codename Icarus, Jacqueline Rayner on Pippa Dolls, Samira Ahmed on Nurdin & Peacock Own Brand Cola, and Steve Berry on school hymn book Morning Has Broken. Along the way we'll be finding out why you can’t hide a pierced ear from Jesus, just how far you can balance a hymn book on the edge of a church balcony, what measures to take when a runaway horse smashes into a bathroom factory, and what precautions you should take whilst within twelve thousand square feet of anywhere that may or may not have played host to agricultural pesticide at some indeterminate point in history. Plus there’s also something you may not have heard before – Tim on the radio talking about Georgie Fame's long-forgotten theme from The Amazing Adventures Of Morph…

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to. Joining Tim this time is writer Jacqueline Rayner, who wants to know who else remembers ITV panto Quincy's Quest, lurid soft drink Quosh Tropical, comedy battle game Klonks, Bernie Clifton's character El Bandido, Pippa dolls and Honey Bear Spread. Along the way we'll be finding out how to tell if Morecambe And Wise are coming to murder you, the best adventure Doctor Who never had, what happened when a runaway horse smashed into a bathroom factory, and why you should avoid German Smarties at all costs. And if you can tell us the name of Jac's mystery scary children's programme, or alternately who said 'bastards' on Radio 4, please let us know...!

@TinDogPodcast review Simply Smashing and the sort of tales that will stay with you for a long time oh and Kevin Rocks   This title was released in January 2018. It will be exclusively available to buy from the BF website until March 31st 2018, and on general sale after this date. 3.1 The Lady in the Lake by Nev Fountain On Terminus Prime, clients choose their own means of demise. Something exciting, meaningful, or heroic to end it all. But when River discovers that there are repeat customers, she knows something more is going on. She begins to uncover a cult with worrying abilities. Its members can apparently cheat death, and that’s not all they have in common with River… 3.2 A Requiem for the Doctor by Jac Rayner River has joined the Doctor and his friend Brooke on their travels, and they stop off in 18th century Vienna. Brooke thinks history is dull. Until people start dying. Mozart’s legacy is not just his music. River has more than one mystery to solve before a killer is let loose on the people of Vienna – and on the Doctor. 3.3 My Dinner with Andrew by John Dorney Welcome, Mesdames et Messieurs, to The Bumptious Gastropod. The most exclusive, most discreet dining experience outside the universe. For the restaurant exists beyond spacetime itself, and the usual rules of causality do not apply. Anything could happen. It is here that the Doctor has a date. With River Song. And with death. 3.4 The Furies by Matt Fitton Stories of the Furies abound across the cosmos: vengeful spirits hounding guilty souls to death. Madame Kovarian taught them to a child raised in fear, trained to kill, and placed inside a spacesuit. Kovarian knows the universe’s greatest threat, the Doctor must be eliminated. An assassin was created for that purpose. But if Melody Pond has failed, Kovarian will simply have to try again… Written By: Nev Fountain, Jacqueline Rayner, John Dorney, Matt Fitton Directed By: Ken Bentley Cast Alex Kingston (River Song), Frances Barber (Madame Kovarian), Peter Davison(The Doctor), Ian Conningham (Kevin / Rindle), Julia Hills (Sharon / Rindle), David Seddon (Mr Quisling / Tarn 2), Leighton Pugh (Lake 2 / Dave / Tarn), Sophia Carr-Gomm (Lily), Joanna Horton (Brooke), Issy Van Randwyck (Giulia), Rosanna Miles (Antoinette / Maid / Constanze), Teddy Kempner (Viktor / Mozart / Stefan / Apothecary), Jonathan Coote (Maitre D' / Chef / Assassin), Nina Toussaint-White (Brooke 2), Francesca Zoutewelle (H-One / H-Two / Mission Captain), Pippa Bennett-Warner (O / The Deterrent).

Kevin and JG return to the early days of Big Finish this week and tackle The Marian Conspiracy, which is notable for two reasons. Firstly it's the debut audio from stalwart Jacqueline Rayner, and secondly it's the first story for fan-favourite Sixth Doctor companion Evelyn Smythe. But will Evelyn live up to the hype? And just how do Big Finish fare with the first historical since Black Orchid back in 1982 (and/or The Highlanders in 1966, feel free to take your pick...)?
