It's (not) the end, but the moment has been prepared for! Well, not as such but a press release from the BBC confirms what we long suspected: there will not be a Christmas special nor were plans for one ever seriously pursued. Sad news to be sure, but we've cobbled together industry and wider fan reaction along with our own lengthy takes tinged with what we'd like to think is both optimism and realism. More importantly, we have former Doctor Who Magazine editor Tom Spilsbury to give us his rather more informed take on the whole situation. Brave Heart, Tegan, after all somewhere the tea is getting cold.

This week on Expert, friend of the pod Yads Cauchi joins Sadaf while Tegan's away to discuss everything from wedding fragrances to getting rid of milia. First up, are AI beauty influencers changing the way we discover products? Sadaf and Yads unpack the trend, how to spot an AI influencer, and what it could mean for the future of beauty recommendations. Then, it's time for Win, Bin or Recycle, this time judging wedding perfumes. Is investing in a dedicated fragrance for your big day a beautiful memory-maker or an unnecessary expense? Yads and Sadaf have plenty of thoughts, plus some stellar recommendations. Then, Yads dives into one of the most common skincare concerns she sees in-clinic: milia. She explains what causes those stubborn little bumps, why they can be so difficult to treat, and the best ways to prevent them from returning. Plus, if you've ever felt overwhelmed by the world of fragrance, this episode is for you. Sadaf and Yads share their tips for discovering your signature scent, how to sample fragrances properly, and the perfumes worth adding to your testing list.

Please let us know what you thought of this season and which episodes were your favorites and least favorites.
Open the box, Pull To Open listeners—but be sure your mind is ready. Kinda is the kinda… er kind of Doctor Who story where the themes are so rich you don't care what it looks like. Which is just as well because the jungle looks like a garden center, the villain looks like an '80s music-video nightmare, and the real monster may be your own mind. Peter Davison's trip to Deva Loka banks hard into Buddhism, colonialism, feminism, telepathy, forbidden apples, silent men, and Hindle going so far over the top he may actually achieve orbit. But is this Mara tale a classic, a green-tinted mess, or somehow both? Join us as we face the dark places of the inside, ask why we didn't get more possessed Tegan, and try not to laugh at a giant pink snake surrounded by mirrors.

Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch the season finale of season 6 (Season 6 Episode 22), which was a potential series finale for Stargate SG-1. What a phenomenal episode! ⁃ This was a really great episode that generated a lot of great discussion, not to mention wrapping up the Abydos storyline. The hosts celebrate (almost) 5 years of the podcast and Eric claims he's been here the whole time! The hosts still have lots of questions, like how does ascended being magic work? What are the politics between the Oma faction and the opposing faction? Join the conversation on our socials!

Most salon owners think branding is the colours, the logo and the name above the door. Tegan from Moosh used to think that too. Then she realised her brand had quietly gone missing, not because she got the visuals wrong, but because she had stopped knowing who she was actually talking to.In this Mini Moment, Tegan joins Jen to pull branding apart in plain language. The thing that brought hers back was almost too simple. She stopped posting to everyone and started posting to one favourite client, a real person, as if she was talking only to her. From there the feeling, the team and the whole vibe of Moosh fell back into place.This is an honest, practical chat about why your brand is a feeling more than a colour, why your team is part of it whether you planned that or not, and why two salons right here in Australia can share the exact same palette and still feel like nothing alike.What we coverWhy your brand is a feeling, not just your colours and logoThe one client trick that makes your posts actually landHow a busy salon quietly loses its brand without noticingWorking out who you really want sitting in your chairWhy your team and their personalities are part of your brandPosting to attract the right client instead of everyoneThe difference between the look of a salon and the feeling of itYour colours were never the brand. The feeling people walk into always was.What makes up a salon brand? A salon brand is the feeling people get from you, not just your colours, logo or name. It comes from who you serve, how your team shows up and how clients feel in your space.How do I find my salon brand? Start by picturing one favourite client and speak only to her, the way Tegan from Moosh did. Once you know who you are talking to, your colours, tone and team culture fall into place around her.Why does my salon brand feel off? Most brands feel off when the salon gets busy and the owner loses sight of who they are speaking to. The fix is rarely new colours, it is getting clear on your person again.Mentioned in this episode:https://www.salonrising.com
Kia ora e te ball bags! Producer Arun on the tools today as Eds stood too close to a school and got mistaken as a student so is currently in year 9 maths.

Silvana and Eric watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 21 "Prophecy." Jonas isn't well, and he's seeing into the future. What will the SG-C be able to do about it, and can he prevent the deaths of SG-1 in time? Eric and Silvana find it refreshing that they believe Jonas immediately when he provides them with evidence, instead of doubting him, like they normally do. Tegan was sorely missed for this episode but will be back next time! What's the money system for goa'uld? How do these villains not have capitalism? It kind of makes sense the Tok'ra are communists. Check out Silvana's article about the lack of women statues in America on her Substack "To Be Kindled". Eric and Silvana go on a tangent about highly intelligent, capable women that history forgot just because they had vaginas. Eric and Silvana start a nap time cult. Tegan will have to figure out if it's her jam next time. This episode just be vibin'.

It will be exclusively available to buy from the Big Finish website until 31 May 2026, and on general sale after this date. Field of Miracles by Lauren Mooney and Stewart Pringle The Doctor, Tegan and Turlough arrive in the quaint village of Heatherington in 1951. But something strange is happening. In an England of post-war austerity, Heatherington is thriving - the shops are full of produce and everyone seems to have everything they've ever wanted, even if what they've wanted is the dead to return to them. The Doctor and his friends must stop the creeping invasion of the Asteri, wish-granting crystalline organisms of awesome destructive power, before they extract a terrible price from the villagers. Helter Skelter by James Moran When a bio-engineered planet and amusement park undergoes a critical malfunction, the entire planet tears itself apart - and the Doctor, Tegan and Turlough are thrown back to their arrival, trapped in a repeating time loop. But for some reason, only Tegan can see the loop, not the Doctor - it has been hidden from him somehow. So why can Tegan see it, and how is she going to fix it? Land of Fools by Lauren Mooney and Stewart Pringle The TARDIS arrives in London, 1980, but something has gone wrong with the timeline. The city is a quasi-police state, overseen by a mysterious new company, Luqos, which promises miraculous gifts to its followers. As Tegan takes off to reconnect with an old friend, and the Doctor teams up with young activist Zan, Turlough is pulled into the heart of Luqos by the shadowy 'M', where they discover an old enemy at work beneath the city. Please note: the collector's edition CD box set is strictly limited to 1,500 copies Recorded on: 15-17 October 2025 Recorded at: The Soundhouse and The Video Factory, New Zealand Producer Sonny McGann said: "Turlough, Tegan and the Doctor are back! We're returning to Earth, where a new threat has emerged wielding immense psionic power. In an England suffering from post-war austerity, one village appears to have everything they've ever wanted. Some will pay any price to see a wish fulfilled - a choice which may ripple through time. "Meanwhile, when a visit to an amusement park on a bio-engineered planet traps the Doctor and his friends in a time loop, one of our companions will have to step up to prevent the planet from tearing itself apart. Three new stories full of wit, emotion, and good technobabble, according to Peter Davison!" Producer Stewart Pringle, co-writer of the first and third episodes, said: "Tegan and Turlough are just great, aren't they? It's so lovely that this set is coming out around the time of Season 21 landing on Blu-ray because it's such a glorious period of Doctor Who. Field of Miracles is our tribute to The Android Invasion with shades of The Wicker Man." The second episode's writer James Moran added: "I will always refer to this story as Tegan Jovanka's Groundhog Day, which tells you all you need to know up front. It made me endlessly amused that I'd come up with a plot almost custom designed to make Tegan as angry as possible. And that was pretty much deliberate, to see how Janet would run with it!" The box set's other writer Lauren Mooney said: "Land of Fools is the Fifth Doctor in the 1980s with shades of Resurrection of the Daleks, but also a vibe of the Sylvester McCoy years. It's a proper little dystopia in a Back to the Future Part II mould, and it leads somewhere that we hope is unexpected. It's a thrill to write for this TARDIS team – the bickering, friction and lack of bonhomie gives this era such a delicious flavour of its own."
Rocky, Tegan and Brian sign the lease and take possession of their new game shop. How big is 3000 sq. feet?
Silvana and Tegan review the HBO Series "His Dark Materials." The host talk through all 3 seasons of the TV series and compare to the book series. They also talk favorite characters and moments. There was a lot to cover and we definitely missed some things so please tell us what you think and what else you love about the show or other criticisms you may have. We rated this show a 7 in all of our categories! Highly recommend.

This week on Expert, Tegan is jetting off to Italy for a beauty training program, but before she leaves, Mel shares her best tips for vintage shopping in Italy! Then it’s time for a divisive round of Win, Bin or Recycle: veneers. Are they the ultimate confidence-boosting dental upgrade, or are we heading toward a future where everyone has the same ultra-bright 'Barbie teeth'? Mel and Tegan unpack the veneer boom, what makes good veneers look natural, and when cosmetic dentistry can go very wrong. Plus, Tegan is making a very passionate case for bringing toner back into your skincare routine. Forget the harsh, stinging formulas of the early 2000s! Today’s toners can hydrate, calm, exfoliate and support your skin barrier. She shares her favourite toner recommendations for every skin type and concern, whether you’re dry, oily, sensitive or dealing with breakouts. And in this week’s listener question, the team help someone struggling with crepey under eyes. From dehydration and irritation to concealer mishaps and fine lines, Mel and Tegan break down what could be causing that creased texture and the products and techniques that can help smooth things out.

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon breaks down the key themes in Tegan's story, including early shame, love bombing, sexual coercion, emotional debt, and post-separation control. Brandon explores how fear, obligation, guilt, and shame worked together in Tegan's story. He discusses how sexual coercion can happen through guilt and pressure, how “I helped you when you were low” can become emotional debt, and how leaving does not always end control when someone still has access through calls, fake numbers, shared bills, social media, work proximity, and other people.

Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch Stargate: SG-1 Season 6 Episode 20 "Memento." It's agreed among the hosts that this episode should have been called "Going To Other Planets." Stargate goes for a bit of a Star Trek feel with bringing back the Prometheus. Jack isn't acting like himself, again, and isn't respecting the established hierarchy of the ship. An interesting dynamic is established with the Tagreans but isn't really delivered on in a satisfying way. This episode was severely lacking a Daniel! Join the discussion on our socials.

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Tegan shares her story of growing up in a family system where shame, criticism, and cultural excuses taught her to minimize her own pain. When she met her ex, the relationship felt like proof that she was finally chosen, wanted, and loved. But over time, the relationship became tangled with addiction, guilt trips, sexual coercion, intimidation, and fear. Tegan discusses how her ex's drinking and drug use created chaos, but how the abuse also showed up in the arguments, the pressure to have sex, physical intimidation, the way he used her lowest moments as emotional debt, and the stalking that continued after the relationship ended. It is a story about self-worth, family shame, coercive control, addiction, fear, obligation, guilt, shame, sexual coercion, stalking, post separation abuse, trauma bonding, love bombing, future faking, mirroring, self worth, verbal abuse, physical intimidation, physical abuse, and boundary violations.

Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch Stargate SG1: Season 6 Episode 19 "The Changeling." This is the second episode written by Christopher Judge and the hosts enjoyed it much more than the first episode he wrote ("The Warrior"). This episode is really a firefighting ad for a bit of the episode as Teal'c is living an alternate life in a dream state as a fireman. Teal's is switching between 2 dream lives, one of being a firefighter waiting to donate his kidney to his stepfather and one where he is a member of SG1, but the truth is much darker. The hosts have a few ideas for what have been a better dream-world than Teal'c being a firefighter but overall really liked the episode. The hosts also wonder, was this ascended Daniel in Teal'c dream-world all along? Stargate fans may never know!

Surprise! This week Mel steps in as guest host while Sadaf is away, and she’s bringing some very niche expertise with her... including a slightly terrifying nail polish hack. In Win, Bin, Recycle, the team tackles lash serums. Tegan is firmly in the “win” camp, while Mel sits cautiously on the fence. Then it’s time for some brutally honest beauty regrets. From bad balayage decisions to lash extension nightmares, there is plenty Tegan and Mel regret, and they'll tell you exactly why. Finally, they tackle a very practical beauty-adjacent dilemma: how to get pit stains out of your white tops. All the methods, myths, and solutions are here, so your favourite tee can live to see another day.

Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch Stargate SG1 Season 6 Episode 18 "Forsaken." Jack apparently forgot he is an amateur astronomer and no longer trusts strangers who have a chain of command (maybe because this alien is hitting on Sam?). You should definitely know to be suspicious of aliens flirting with you right away. This episode features Celtic peoples who have been kidnapped by the goa'uld. It also features VERY SILLY looking weapons. This episode features a prop from a Macgyver episode!

SPECIAL PATREON EXCLUSIVE THE OPENING: "Peter, Peter, please forgive me..." A countdown begins the most diplomatic disagreement in podcast history. BELATED BIRTHDAY & TIMING: John's birthday just passed! Next story is Attack of the Cybermen (aired January 5, 1986) - "the year I turned 18!" THE DREAD: John: "I'm filled with a little dread to talk about this with you, Jim, because I know where you stand." Jim: "Listen, we've made too much of it. Every fan has doctors they like and doctors they don't like." THE FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION: "Do you know anybody who likes every single Doctor?" JOHN'S CONFESSION: "I do to certain degrees. There are ones I'm not as fond of - Colin, Tom Baker. In fact, I might turn around and be like Colin Baker is better than Tom Baker if I keep feeling as excited as I did with Twin Dilemma!" The Tom Baker Problem: "Tom Baker was one who outstayed his welcome. He has the David Tennant complex. They're both fabulous but they overstayed their welcome where it diminished their appeal to me." JIM'S CORE PROBLEM: THE DOCTOR WHO DIDN'T WANT COMPANIONS The Comparison: Fourth Doctor with Leela: Great mentor/teacher relationship Fourth Doctor with Romana: Lots of warmth Fourth Doctor with Sarah Jane: Clear affection Fifth Doctor: "So few moments putting across that he really wanted people traveling with him. He seemed like he'd be so much happier if he was just by himself." Jim's Labels: "The grouchy doctor. The invisible doctor. He never seemed like a larger than life character, which the Doctor needs to be." JAMESON'S FRAMING LETTER: The Fifth Doctor Summary: "Nice, sweet, the more human Doctor. Almost purely reactive. Quiet, kind of bland, often seems to have hollow victories. An anti-Fourth Doctor. The Fourth Doctor breezed in and took control - the Fifth Doctor is one who no one seems to listen to." Jameson's Position: "I don't hate his Doctor, but he's not entirely a favorite. On audio he has mixed results, though lately really good with the Season 19 crew." The Missing Element: "One thing this era is missing is more humorous or lighthearted moments. It's always gritty and dark - nobody's allowed to crack a joke." THE COMPANIONS - A COMPREHENSIVE BREAKDOWN: ADRIC - "THE BOY GENIUS" Jameson's Take: Not a big fan. Works better with Fourth Doctor in master-apprentice role. Butts heads with Fifth Doctor. First Companion killed off since Sara Kingdom and Katarina (Season 3). Hope he works better in audios with hindsight, foreshadowing his departure and fears of not being good enough. NYSSA - "THE SCIENTIST" Jameson's Summary: Orphan from Traken who lost everything. Master stole her father's body. Sweet, quiet mediator between Adric/Tegan/Doctor. Most prolific audio Companion for Fifth Doctor. TEGAN - "THE AIR STEWARDESS" Jameson's Description: "Sarcastic, sassy, acts like she doesn't want to be there but kind of loves traveling. Australian air stewardess is fun, gives older high school sister vibes to Adric/Nyssa's middle schooler vibes. Janet Fielding is so fun to watch in modern special features." TURLOUGH - "HOLD MY BEER" Jim: "Hold my beer. We ain't seen nothing yet." Jameson's Take: "Interesting character - alien exile stuck as English schoolboy. Sneaky, untrustworthy, cowardly, yet underneath wants to do right. Gets rough arc, wish they hadn't waited until last story to flesh out backstory." KAMELION - "THE CURSED ROBOT" Jameson's Frustration: "I get JNT wanted the next K-9, but why introduce a shapeshifting robot if you're not going to capitalize on shapeshifting abilities? This is a character MADE for stunt casting! Instead, the inventor/controller passed away before it could be fully utilized. Introduction story, departure story, nothing else. Wasted opportunity. Why bother?" PERI - "THE AMERICAN STUDENT" Jameson: "Perpugilliam Brown, American botany student the Doctor rescues on vacation. With Fifth Doctor she's odd beast - introduced in one story, Davison leaves in next. Sassy but more upbeat and peppy than Tegan. Really comes into her own with Sixth Doctor. On audio, several adventures with Fifth Doctor, sometimes with new Companion Erimem (father/uncle with two daughters dynamic)." SEASON BREAKDOWNS: SEASON 19 - "THE SOAP OPERA SEASON" "Crowded TARDIS, JNT wants regulars always arguing and not getting along. Still good stories - Kinda and Earthshock standouts. Death of Adric, return of Cybermen shake things up." SEASON 20 - "THE ANNIVERSARY SEASON" "Two new Companions, Companion departure, tons of returning elements celebrating 20 years. Returning: Omega, the Brig, Mara, Black/White Guardians, Borusa, the Master." THE FIVE DOCTORS DEBATE: The Classification: More people saying it's its own thing between seasons (like Christmas specials). John always looked at it as Season 20: "Caps off Season 20 - after whetting appetite with Master and others, throw it all at you." Jim's Verdict: "Best Fifth Doctor story. He pretty much holds his own." SEASON 21: Jameson: "I don't really know what to say. Possibly Davison's strongest, but I don't really have anything else. I like Resurrection of the Daleks, Frontios, Caves of Androzani." THREE YEARS OF THE DOCTOR'S BEARD: "Three years of fun with the Doctor's Beard, somewhere in time and space." NEXT TIME: Monday (Patreon #153): Voyager (five-part Colin Baker epic), Ian Levine's Doctor Who theme (Eastway/Freeway?), Memory TARDIS spin Friday (Patreon) then Saturday (Main Feed): Attack of the Cybermen - first two-parter with 45-minute episodes for Season 22!

Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch the 2003 Film "Timeline." The hosts described this movie as jurassic park for archeologists instead of paleontologists. Eric Bana was dreamy as always in this intellectual movie made by non-intellectual people. The battle scene in this movie also really stood out. Silvana and Tegan educate on the problematic history of the depiction of consent in Hollywood. Overall, the hosts all enjoyed this movie and would definitely recommend it.

Send us Fan MailThis week on The Book Fix, we're reviewing Muscles & Monsters by Ashley Bennett, a cozy monster romance that combines gym culture, supernatural creatures, and a very sweet love story.The book follows Tegan, a cake decorator whose day goes completely off the rails when a wedding cake disaster leaves her scrambling—until she's helped by Atlas, a massive wolven who works at Leviathan Fitness. After their chaotic first meeting, Atlas invites Tegan to the gym anytime she needs help lifting her cakes. Instead, Tegan decides she wants to lift them herself and signs up for a membership to build her strength.As the two spend more time together at the gym, their friendship quickly turns into attraction. Between workouts, flirtation, and some very primal monster instincts, Tegan and Atlas begin exploring what a relationship between a human and a monster could really look like.But this episode also marks the debut of a brand new segment: The Bake Fix. Inspired by Tegan's cake decorating skills, we attempted to bake a cake that looks exactly like the cover of the book… and honestly, the resemblance is uncanny.Join us as we talk monster romance, gym monsters, and reveal our Bake Fix creation.
Silvana, Eric and Tegan watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 17 "Disclosure," a truly uninventive recap episode. However, a good jumping off point to talk about the culture and media of the early 2000s. In this episode, The SGC invites leaders from various nations to disclose to them the Stargate Program. Senator Kinsey is there to try to convince them that the NID would be a better organization to oversee the program. Thor swoops in at the last minute to have a sassy one liner and to convince everyone that keeping control with the SGC is the right call afterall. No need to confront any of the problems with the U.S. military overseeing such a program!

The Fifth Doctor, Tegan, Turlough and Kamelion feature in today's book club release, The Crystal Bucephalus. Kenny and guest co-conspirator Si Hart discuss Craig Hinton's first Doctor Who novel, from the Virgin Missing Adventures range. We feature two archive interviews with Craig, which are read for us, plus we're delighted to be joined by Craig's old friend and colleague Peter Anghelides, who shares his memories of the writer.
Tread Perilously begins its annual Doctor Who month with a Fifth Doctor tale called "The Visitation." The Doctor manages to get Tegan to Heathrow Airport, but 300 years too early. Taking a look around, they find the nearby village is caught in the grips of a plague outbreak. But does the mysterious illness have anything to do with a meteor storm actor/highwayman Richard Mace saw a few days previously? Complicating matters is a seemingly abandoned manor house, an android disguised as Death, and a trio of aliens looking both to escape Earth and subdue it with advanced biological weapons. Erik and Justin continue their backwards journey through season 19 of classic Doctor Who. They enjoy the story's unusual cold open, going into detail about the sequence. Richard Mace (played by Michael Robbins) easily becomes the MVP. Nyssa also acquits herself well for once. Adric, meanwhile, seems to sense how little anyone wants him there. Mrs. J continues to be awesome. The Great Fire of London becomes a key topic. Flintlocks are also examined. Erik relates some tales from the episode's commentary track with Davison, the main cast, and director Peter Moffatt. Justin understands the director's bafflement about the story. The pair try to determine why boy genius characters rarely work and Tegan's hairdo becomes a point of conversation.

Where do you start when building a men’s skincare routine? Are lip tattoos actually worth the hype? And what can new mums do about postpartum hair loss? This week on Expert, Tegan and Sadaf are covering practical beauty advice for real life, from on-the-go essentials to the hair changes that can happen after having a baby. First up, if you’ve ever realised you forgot deodorant, lip balm or a hair tie right when you needed it most, you’re probably not Tegan, who runs us through her extensive 'car beauty must-haves'. Then, for Win, Bin, Recycle, it’s all about cosmetic lip tattoos. They’re back and all over social media, promising long-lasting colour without the constant reapplication. Do they actually work? We break down how lip tattoo products work, who they’re best suited for and whether they’re a beauty hack worth trying – or one to skip. Then, it’s a men’s intervention. If you’ve got a guy in your life (or you’re a male listener keen for a skincare refresh), we’ve got you covered. Tegan and Sadaf run through a straightforward men’s grooming routine, covering the essential products that make the biggest difference, from cleanser and moisturiser to shaving essentials and SPF. There are plenty of product recs in the mix, too! Then on Adore Anon, this week’s listener question comes from a new mum experiencing postpartum hair shedding. We explain why it happens, how long it typically lasts, and share haircare tips and product recommendations that can help support your hair through the annoying regrowth phase.Everything mentioned: Ultra Violette Preen Screen SPF50 Reapplication Mist Skoop Babe Blotter Blotting Papers NYX The Brow Glue K18 Airwash Dry Shampoo Cosmedix Skin Thirst Moisturising Hyaluronic Acid Cream We Are Feel Good Inc Good Morning Daily Face SPF50 Hada Labo Men’s Gentle Face Wash Hydrating Foam Cleanser Hada Labo Men’s Aqua Booster Revitalising Hydro Gel Clinique For Men Face Scrub Medicube Zero Pore Pads Innisfree Forest For Men Anti-Ageing All In One Essence Clinique For Men Maximum Hydrator Activated Water Gel Concentrate Weleda Men’s Moisturising Cream Aspect Purastat5 Cleanser Virtue Flourish Density Booster JS Health Hair + Energy Vida Glow Hairology Advanced Repair Done Haircare Ultimate Root Retouch Kit Olaplex Repair Trio Bundle Read Sadaf’s car essentials article on Beauty IQ here.

You're returning to the world of Event Horizon after Dark Descent. At what point did you know you had the green light to continue this story, and was Inferno always part of your long-term plan, or did it grow out of the response to the first series? 2. The solicitation pitches this as “Aliens meets Dante's Inferno.” That's a big swing. How consciously are you leaning into the structure or themes of Dante's Inferno, and does this story descend through its own version of circles of Hell? 3. Setting the story two hundred years after the original incident gives you a massive time jump. What does that distance allow you to explore that you could not in Dark Descent? 5.5. You have a compelling mix of characters working for the billionaire. How do you balance their personalities and backstories? Do you flesh out a cast, then go, “hmmm i'm mixing X”? 4. The idea of a billionaire assembling a private star fleet to plunder the wreckage feels very modern in its cynicism. Were you intentionally tapping into contemporary anxieties about unchecked wealth and corporate ambition? 6. The gravity drive has always been the heart of the horror in Event Horizon. In Inferno, does the focus shift more toward the metaphysical implications of interdimensional travel, or are we going even harder into physical, visceral terror? 7. Rob Carey joins you on art for this series. What does he bring visually that makes this version of Event Horizon feel distinct from Dark Descent? 7.5. Love the suits these characters wear. How do you design something that's new, but also as cool as something we've seen in a sci-fi movie before? 8. After revisiting this universe twice now, how do you personally define what “Hell” is in Event Horizon? Is it a place, an entity, a force of nature, or something humanity carries with it into the stars?
John and Jim dive deep into one of the most tumultuous periods in Doctor Who history, exploring the fan response to the show's 18-month hiatus announcement and examining two very different productions from that era. Theme Song Discussion: The hosts review Chameleon Circuit's 2026 version of Peter Howell's 1980s Doctor Who theme. The hosts find it underwhelming, noting it fails to generate the excitement that should accompany the opening of a Doctor Who episode. They express mixed feelings about Chameleon Circuit's various covers over the years. LINK : https://youtu.be/oYyc00TKtCs?si=UUH4k9dMulobMh3o The 18-Month Hiatus: During the broadcast of "The Two Doctors," the BBC announced Doctor Who would be "rested" for 18 months to fund other BBC projects. The announcement made national headlines and BBC News broadcasts, creating major controversy among fans and the general public. "Doctor in Distress" - The Charity Single: Ian Levine, the show's unofficial historian and fan liaison, organized a charity single modeled after "We Are the World" to protest the hiatus. The hosts discuss the infamous recording featuring: Cast members: Colin Baker, Nicola Bryant, Nicholas Courtney, Anthony Ainley, Faith Brown (from "Attack of the Cybermen") Musicians: Justin Hayward and John Lodge (The Moody Blues), Phyllis Nelson, Bobby G (Bucks Fizz) Notable absences due to scheduling issues and Ian's impatience LINK: https://youtu.be/ege9lQecazo?si=yh0ROrCIbz9hf30a "A Fix with Sontarans": In stark contrast to "Doctor in Distress," this segment from the children's show "Jim'll Fix It" proved surprisingly professional. Young fan Gareth Jenkins wished to appear in a Doctor Who story, and writer Eric Saward crafted a nearly 10-minute adventure featuring: Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor Janet Fielding returning as Tegan (not Nicola Bryant as Peri) Two Sontarans (Clinton Grain and Tim Raime from "The Two Doctors") A surprisingly serious tone rather than sketch comedy Production notes include that the two Sontarans were named Nathan and Turner (a dig by Eric Saward at producer John Nathan-Turner), and that a remastered version exists with Jimmy Savile edited out and updated special effects. Colin Baker later stated he always found Savile "creepy." LINK: https://archive.org/details/a_fix_with_sontarans Doctor Who Magazine - "Voyager" Part 5: The hosts express deep frustration with Steve Parkhouse's comic story, calling it "hogwash," "claptrap," and "balderdash." They criticize: The pretentious writing style The Doctor's complete lack of agency Frobisher the penguin's unnecessary subplot The anticlimactic appearance of the villain Voyager The waste of artist John Ridgway's talents Jim suggests Parkhouse was attempting to emulate Alan Moore but failing spectacularly, creating "whimsy disguised as something deeper." The hosts note this isn't Doctor Who and wouldn't work on television. They express relief that only two more Parkhouse stories remain. Memory TARDIS: The wheel lands on "Mawdryn Undead," which both hosts remember fondly, particularly for: Nicholas Courtney's dual role as two different time versions of the Brigadier The strong integration of the Brigadier into the plot (not just a cameo) Nyssa and Tegan's interactions with the Brigadier The creative concept of keeping the two Brigadiers apart Big Finish News: The hosts briefly discuss Big Finish's move toward digital-only releases for many products due to poor physical sales and warehouse storage issues, sparking debate about collector markets and physical media in the vinyl revival era. Coming Up Next: Main Feed Episode: John and Jim tackle "Timelash" with special guest Alan J. Porter, continuing their journey through Colin Baker's controversial Season 22. Next Patreon Episode (158): The hosts continue with more theme music discussion, spin the Memory TARDIS again, and cover Steve Parkhouse's penultimate story "Polly the Glot" - a three-part adventure from Doctor Who Magazine.

Should you actually sit on public toilet seats? It’s the debate dividing the team this week, as Tegan and Sadaf weigh in on whether it’s fine or whether hovering is the only option. Then, Tegan takes a deep dive into melasma, the stubborn pigmentation condition that can be incredibly frustrating to manage. She explains what actually causes melasma, why it’s so closely linked to hormones and sun exposure, and the key things you can do to help prevent it from worsening. Tegan also breaks down the treatment options available, from skincare you can use at home to the professional treatments that can help manage it in-clinic. Finally, in Adore Anon, a listener wants to know what she can actually do about split ends. Are there products that genuinely repair them, or is the only real fix a haircut? The team shares practical tips for preventing and managing split ends so your hair stays as healthy as possible between trims.

This week on Expert, Sadaf and Tegan are all about tough love. Got sunburnt? They’re not mad, they’re just disappointed! Still, it happens to all of us sometimes, but there are ways to cope with an accidental one. But first up, Sadaf shares a game-changing under-eye concealer trick from TikTok for amazing dark circle coverage, and Tegan jumps in with her own clever hack for setting concealer without the creases. How to avoid emphasising fine lines + concealer that lasts the distance? Yes, please. Then it’s Win, Bin, Recycle: lash curlers. Are the scary-looking contraptions an essential step or a relic from 2003? The team debates whether they’re worth the effort. And yep, we’ve all been there. Accidental sunburn. Sadaf and Tegan break down immediate steps to calm inflamed skin, ingredients that help vs ingredients that will make it all worse, the active skincare products to pause, and what in-clinic treatments you can and can’t get done while your skin is healing. Finally, a listener needs advice: she’s got the crotch sweats.

The pain of child abuse follows its victims to adulthood. Many seek therapy, but some internalize the pain and then inflict it upon others, continuing the cycle of abuse. Jason Vukovich chose a different path to exorcise the demons inflicted upon him by his adopted father. Jason consulted the sex offender registry of Alaska and physically assaulted known pedophiles in Anchorage. Jason's story is not a murder nor a mystery, but it is a true tale about a crime that is far too common and a victim who took the law into his own hands.
