Podcast appearances and mentions of Paul McGann

We name the stories we think Matthew Jacobs might have chosen, had he been asked to supervise a season of Paul McGann episodes in the wake of the TV movie Presented by J.R. Southall, with Matt Barber, Simon Brett and Steve Hatcher

Jingle bells are probably silent this Christmas as, if RTD's hinting in the UK media has led the Three Who Rule to conclude, after Mr. Davies stating he won't be filming anything this year, so…whither Doctor Who Christmas Special? We get after it! We also look into the spectacular looking 4K release of the 1996 TV Movie, our thoughts on the Mandolorian and Grogu, the usual Big Finish Zaprudering, and an interview with Sophie Aldred, Paul Cornell and author Adrian Tchaikovsky and their involvement in the Salvation's Child graphic novel!

Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman, marking my 109th episode of VideoFuzzy titled "Luther, Earnest and The Doctor," reporting the progress I've made in cataloging thousands of VHS transfers and digital recordings, and as of this coming month, June of 2026, I'm marking nine years of VideoFuzzy! [2:20] I celebrate that milestone in part with Part 2 of my conversation with musician, media critic and longtime friend Mikey Heinrich from Minneapolis. Part 1 posted as part of sister podcast effort VideoFuzzy the Soundtrack "Ep. 17: Long Way Down" at https://bit.ly/3MJkPkK  In part 2, we chatted primarily about "Knives Out 3: Wake Up, Dead Man" and "Doctor Who." [IG] Mikey Heinrich can be found at his YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MikeyHeinrich and blogs Doux Reviews: https://www.douxreviews.com/ and 42nd Vizsla: https://the42ndvizsla.blogspot.com/ [31:06] My Fuzzy Feature talked in some detail about the series premiere of BBC's "Luther," [IG] starring Idris Elba in the title role, Detective Inspector John Luther. CONTENT WARNING: Some discussion of animal cruelty was critical to the investigation and therefore unavoidable. I talked about the child abduction case he took on at the top of the episode, and the parents of astrophysicist Alice Morgan, played by Ruth Wilson. They were found shot dead in their home along with the family's dog. Luther's investigation loops in his supervisor, DSU Rose Teller, and his new partner, DS Justin Ripley, and coincides with developments in his separation from Zoe, his wife, played by Indira Varma, namely her lover Mark North, played by Paul McGann. [1:01:30] In Cross Connections, I trace connections for Idris Elba and Ruth Wilson through my media collection. I identify Stephen Root, Jon Curry and Ben Schwartz as Golden Threads. Also Colin Salmon, David Allan Grier, Robert Englund, Ken Jenkins, Rob Morrow, Maura Tierney, Tzi Ma, Patrick Fischler, Todd Stashwick, Caterina Scorsone, Frances Conroy, Diane Farr and Christian Clementsen. Fond Reflection to Eric Dane and his many years on "Grey's Anatomy." [1:14:14] In my Classic Collection [VHS-to-DVD transfers], I cataloged discs 2001 through 2025. Comments on "Grey's Anatomy," Chelsea Handler's appearance as host of the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards and comments at the recent roast of Kevin Hart on Netflix. Also, "The Simpsons," [IG] "Glee," [IG] "Mike & Molly," "Undercovers," "Castle," "Rubicon," "The Office" and "Community." [1:29:38] In my Current Collection [direct to digital], I archived the National Theatre presentation of Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest" [IG] starring Ncuti Gatwa, Hugh Skinner, Sharon D. Clark, Ronke Adoluejo, Eliza Scanlen and Amanda Lawrence. [1:31:28] In Book Reports, I chat about Charlotte Brontë's "Jane Eyre," Emily Brontë's "Wuthering Heights," Daphne du Maurier's "Rebecca" and Margot Douaihy's "Scorched Grace," all of which I can trace as recommendations at one time or another by the "All About Agatha" podcast. Quite enjoyable! SPREADING THE WORD! "VideoFuzzy: The Video - Celebrating 100 Episodes!" is posted at https://youtu.be/eWfcCDiOZ2I.

Join Dave from the Doctor Who Show, Rob and Mark from 42 to Doomsday, and Richard from Spacefall: A Blakes 7 Podcast, after knocking back a few gin and tonics at Dave's place and watching 1996's Doctor Who: The Movie. This podcast goes out two days short of the movie's 30th anniversary. Developed as a co-production between Universal Studios and BBC Worldwide, it premiered on 12 May 1996 on the Canadian television station CITV in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, 15 days before its first showing in the United Kingdom on BBC One and two days before being broadcast in the United States on Fox. The movie follows the Seventh Doctor, played by Sylvester McCoy, who is shot shortly after arriving in 1999 San Francisco while transporting the remains of his old enemy, The Master. He regenerates into the Eighth Doctor, played by Paul McGann, and teams up with surgeon Grace Holloway to stop the Master from stealing the Doctor's remaining lives by opening the Eye of Harmony inside the TARDIS.

Have you ever seen Paul McGann at a Doctor Who convention?Until 2003, when he appeared at the 40th anniversary event in London, Panopticon, no one thought he would ever do fan events.Now, of course, he's a regular.Matt and Kenny share their memories of seeing Paul, and we bring you a recording of Paul at Whooverville 14, in 2023. He just so happens to be interviewed by our Kenny...The video of this is available on YouTube.

Send us Fan MailIn 1980, the Doctor Who episode, Shada, was started but never completed and was shelved never to be seen. In 1992, a VHS reconstruction of the episode was released with Tom Baker doing an introduction and filling in missing scenes via narrative description. In 2003, Big Finish did a remake of it with Paul McGann as the Doctor using limited flash animation. In 2017, a version was released as a movie (rather than in six episodic segments) with animated restoration and the original cast doing the voices for the missing scenes. The main focus will be on the 2017 movie, but Jeff and Bryan will touch on all the versions.This has been a Froods for Thought production.

We're heading back to the pages of Doctor Who Magazine for today's episode, as we look at the second comic strip adventure featuring Paul McGann's Doctor.The Keep was written by Alan Barnes and illustrated by Martin Geraghty, and we've a brief archival interview with Alan, plus Martin joins us to discuss his art on this two-part tale.Kenny and Matt discuss the adventure, with comic expert Paul Scoones popping by to share his thoughts too!

Time Ram changes Doctor Who forever as we take Peter Davison's 'Four to Doomsday' and re-adapt for Paul McGann! We also answer some vital questions along the way. How does the Doctor age? How many companions does he need? What do you do when your spear's missing? Velvet jackets on and let's space walk like it's 1996. Or 1982. One of them.

And as the emperor loses control, old friends become foes, old foes return from the dead, and Bokassa's day of judgement is at hand… A Noiser podcast production. Narrated by Paul McGann.

The former soldier in the French army who seized power in his African homeland. The leader of the Central African Republic who proclaimed himself emperor. The emperor who ruled as an avaricious dictator. Jean-Bédel Bokassa's time in power in the CAR began with promises of equality and justice. Hailed as a beacon of strength, he would go on to preside over a regime of eccentricity, excess and sadistic cruelty. But decades before the surreal coronation, the 17 wives and the vast collection of luxurious possessions, our story begins in a much humbler setting. In a forested village near the CAR's southern border, rebellion is in the air… A Noiser podcast production. Narrated by Paul McGann. Featuring Louisa Lombard, Richard Moncrieff, Gino Vlavonou.

Nick and John present... The Chat: Xmas... Behind-the-scenes: Eighth Doctor - Empty Vessels... Also Available and Drama Tease: The War Doctor Rises - Cybergene.

Tread Merrily 2025 begins with the annual tradition -- a Festive episode of Doctor Who. This one is called "The Time of The Doctor." When a signal broadcasts across all of time and space, The Doctor soon finds himself in orbit around a mysterious planet. But he is not alone with Daleks, Sontarans, Cyberman, and more also investigating the signal. Meanwhile, it's Christmas dinner at Clara's and she needs him to be her boyfriend. Are these two threads connected? Is the planet really Gallifrey? It's almost time for the clock to strike 12 and The Doctor is out of regenerations. Is this the final end? Justin determines Steven Moffat's third worst trait as a writer. The discussion centers on Moffat using his greatest hits throughout this story, leading to Tread Perilously's own greatest hits -- including Erik's belief about the real end of A Song of Ice and Fire, Twilight hot takes, and a determination about who has seen the light of the Two Trees. Erik tries to figure out why Paul McGann was seen recently shooting something in his Eighth Doctor costume. Justin stumbles on the secret sauce of Stranger Things. The true name of The Doctor is revealed. The Lord Humongous makes a trip to the market and Justin determines what the Sontarans really resemble.

The War Between the Land and the Sea is premiering Sunday, December 7! While that throws a wrench in our usually stable release plans, we're certain we can all cope through the first three weeks of December.
