Podcast appearances and mentions of Toby Whithouse

Transposing the premise of The Wicker Man to a six-part TV serial set in Wales, is Toby Whithouse's latest any good? Presented by J.R. Southall, with Matt Barber and Jim Cameron The Red King on Wiki Where to Watch The Red King

The middle story in Series 7A (like, don't get excited man) is Toby Whithouse's Western, A Town Called Mercy: but will we find it OK Corral, or Last Chance Saloon? Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold and Matt Barber

This week my new series re-watch reaches Doctor Who: Under The Lake/Before The Flood, a fascinating two parter from the mind of Toby Whithouse.   You may wish to contribute to the show's running costs, it's Patreon is here https://www.patreon.com/tdrury or buy me a coffee here https://ko-fi.com/timdrury   The show is also on Facebook please join the group for exclusive behind the scenes insights and of course also discuss and feedback on the show https://www.facebook.com/groups/187162411486307/   If you want to send me comments or feedback you can email them to tdrury2003@yahoo.co.uk or contact me on twitter where I'm @tdrury or send me a friend request and your comments to facebook where I'm Tim Drury and look like this http://www.flickr.com/photos/tdrury/3711029536/in/set-72157621161239599/ in case you were wondering.  

Happy New Year! This month, Erik and Kyle embark on the first of what they're calling "Getting Whithoused," which is looking at the stories written by Toby Whithouse in the Steven Moffat era. Up first, "The Vampires of Venice" from series 5 and "The God Complex" from series 6.

This week, a bone Vervoid joins in the fun as we travel back in time to Wales in 2015 pretending to be Scotland in 1980 pretending to be somewhere in the Soviet Union. And it's hard to say which time paradox is the most annoying, the bootstrap one or the predestination one. Thank goodness Frazer Gregory is here to help us sort it all out — it's Before the Flood. Notes and links Like Steven B in our episode on Flatline, Frazer uses the Christopher Nolan film The Prestige (2006) as a way of understanding what Toby Whithouse is doing by setting up the bootstrap paradox at the start of this episode — it's a magic trick. Likewise, Frazer compares this story's unresolved conclusion with the way that the Season 9 episode of The Simpsons Das Bus throws its ending away with a hilarious voiceover from James Earl Jones. El Sandifer refers to the Fisher King as a Bone Vervoid in her TARDIS Eruditorum essay on this story. Bone Vervoid. Warning: she is considerably less kind to these two episodes than we have been. Of course, A Long Tradition of Doctor Who Monsters That in Some Way Resemble Human Genitalia is the title of Flight Through Entirety Episode 168, and it refers to Human Dalek Sec in Evolution of the Daleks. It is currently the record-holder as the longest title of any episode of Flight Through Entirety. We refer to some of Peter Serafinowicz's earlier work, including his role as the voice of Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace (1999), In 2002, he appeared in Look Around You, a spoof of educational science programmes for schoolchildren. And in 2007, he appeared in his own sketch comedy show on BBC Two, The Peter Serafinowicz Show, which introduced his character Brian Butterfield, who he continues to play on tour this year. The Butterfield Diet Plan is a must see. Picks of the week James Fans of weird time paradoxes will also enjoy Douglas Adams's Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (1987), which, through a time paradox of its own, was the inspiration for Adams's own Doctor Who stories, City of Death (1979) and Shada (1979, but in a nearby parallel universe). Peter Fans of weird time paradoxes will also enjoy the Sex in the City sequel TV series And Just Like That. Nathan Nathan picks the podcast Strong Songs, where enthusiastic and talented musician Kirk Hamilton analyses the music that he loves, in order to discover what it is that makes it great. Highly recommended. Frazer Like Nathan two weeks ago, Frazer recommends that you watch the wonderful new Star Trek series Strange New Worlds, which finished its second series earlier this year.

And more Jodie into Terror was our flashcast on every episode of the Whittaker era, recorded just a couple of days after the broadcast of the episode. Bondfinger is our James Bond commentary podcast, which also covers some of our favourite spy-fi TV shows of the sixties and seventies. Maximum Power is a podcast about Blakes 7, a co-production with the Trap One Podcast. It's on hiatus right now, but it will be returning with our coverage of Series C some time next month, we think. And finally, there's our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. In our most recent episode, we watch a credible and highly-regarded episode of The Original Series with a monster in it that makes that hydra thing in Time-Flight look horrifyingly realistic.

This week, we're playing Doctor Who madlibs — cowering in an UNDERWATER BASE, waiting for the ELECTROMAGNETIC GHOSTS to pick us off one by one. Fortunately, Peter Capaldi and some attractive young people are here to keep us entertained. We're Under the Lake. Notes and links The CEO of this base under siege is apparently called Richard Pritchard, a name some of us first encountered in Broken News, a 2005 comedy which replicated the exprience of channel hoping between 24-hour news channels during an emerging international crisis. On one of those channels, news anchor Richard Pritchard was accompanied by Katie Tate and Melanie Bellamby (Torchwood's Indira Varma). Nathan mentions an outstanding performance in Toby Whithouse's previous episode A Town Called Mercy. He's either referring to Adrian Scarborough as Kahler-Jex or Ben Browder as Isaac. The coordinate system Nathan refers to is called what3words: it divides the Earth's surface into 3 × 3 metre squares and assigns a three-word phrase to each square. At the risk of compromising my opsec, the pub I'm going to for dinner tonight has its front door in the square cross.paying.bucked.

And finally, there's our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. In our most recent episode, we watch the Series 5 finale and Series 6 premiere of Star Trek: Voyager — Equinox and Equinox, Part II — moderately entertaining episodes that fail in a very characteristically Voyager way.

This week, we're doing some judicially-mandated cleaning up around a council estate in Bristol when we make some terrifying discoveries about the source and nature of the graffiti we're painting over, and some even more terrifying discoveries about our own and our friends' moral characters. Also, someone left the TARDIS prop from Logopolis Part 3 lying around here somewhere. It's Flatline. Notes and links Brendan mentions Jamie Mathieson's film Frequently Asked Questions about Time Travel (2009), a film starring Chris O'Dowd, Dean Lennox Kelly and Marc Wootton as three friends in a pub coping with a weird Moffat-y time travel thing. Nathan mentions Toby Whithouse's series Being Human (2008–2013), originally about a ghost, a vampire and a werewolf flat-sharing in Bristol, and eventually about a completely different ghost, vampire and werewolf flat-sharing on Barry Island: Jamie Mathieson wrote four scripts, one for each of the last four seasons of the show. The idea of beings living in a two-dimensional world was explored as early as 1884 in Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, written by an English schoolmaster, which combines a lightly comic critique of Victorian social hierarchy with imaginative speculation about the weird experience of living in a two-dimensional world. Steven's description of Series 8's gradual development of the Doctor's character as a magic trick is explicitly based on The Prestige (2006), an early Christopher Nolan film in which two Victorian magicians, Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman, are pitted against one another in a quest for the ultimate illusion. In For Your Eyes Only (1981), Roger Moore's Bond tries to protect a young woman by dissuading her from killing the people who murdered her parents. That woman was Carole Bouquet, whose bottom and alarmingly long legs adorned the film's poster, six years before the first release of Adobe Photoshop.

And more We've got an exciting new Doctor Who project to launch at the start of 2024, but — annoyingly — we're not going to tell you anything more about it until later in the year. Stay tuned. In the meantime, you can find Jodie into Terror, our flashcast on the entirety of the Whittaker Era of Doctor Who, at jodieintoterror.com, at @JodieIntoTerror on Twitter, on Apple Podcasts, and wherever podcasts can be found. We'll be back with a new flashcast on the second Russell T Davies era in November. Our James Bond commentary podcast is called Bondfinger, and you can find that at bondfinger.com, at @bondfingercast on Twitter, on Apple Podcasts, and everywhere else as well. We can also be heard on the Blakes 7 podcast Maximum Power, which has completed its coverage of the first half of the show's entire run. Recording is continuing on schedule, and our coverage of Series C will be ready for you later in the year. There's also our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. In our most recent episode, we watched in stunned horror as Enterprise chief engineer Trip Tucker got unexpectedly pregnant, with predictable results.

Ben and Mark attempt to undo some bootstraps with a discussion of the second Series 9 two parter - Under the Lake/Before the Flood. Under discussion: Is there a link between the Fisher King and the Myrka? Is time travel really all that complex? Why Doctor Who can't do ghosts and whether base under siege stories light a fire beneath Peter Capaldi. Also: Being amongst the 25 tallest men, levels of fandom in guest actors and another of Mark's terrible Doctor Who anecdotes. If you enjoy the podcast, and would like to buy Ben and Mark a drink you can do so at buymeacoffee.com/onthetimelash or if you want to help us out in other ways, leave us a review on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

Being Human is a British supernatural comedy-drama television series. It was created and written by Toby Whithouse for broadcast on BBC Three. The show blends elements of flatshare comedy and horror drama. The pilot episode starred Andrea Riseborough as Annie Sawyer (a ghost), Russell Tovey as George Sands (a werewolf), and Guy Flanagan as John Mitchell (a vampire) – all of whom are sharing accommodation and attempting as well as they can to live a "normal" life and blend in with the ordinary humans around them, striving to fit in more.

Sophie Stone kicks the most ass, Late-Capitalism claims its worthiest victim yet, and the Doctor's cards tell us that "It was my fault. I should have known you didn't live in Aberdeen!"

When writer Toby Whithouse gives us a story that finally centers around Tosh, we should know better than to expect a 'very special episode' where things turn out lovely.

It’s nearing the end of the summer for us in the northern hemisphere, and thus our summer podcast time filling comes to an end with the second half of our Miniscope on modern series writer Toby Whithouse! But first, listen to Steven become cynical about streaming services, become more excited as the first Gallifrey One guest announcement looms, and enjoy the surfeit of Doctor Who audio releases soon to be playing in your ears (after you listen to us, hopefully).

Doctor Who writer Toby Whithouse is the Miniscope’s last victim for the year, and this week we’re looking at his work on “School Reunion”, “The Vampires of Venice”, and “The God Complex”. And it’s a good thing he has so much material, because the news this week was a study in minimalism. But if you want hot takes on the newest Black Archive release, the “Ghost Monuments” photo project and most importantly, a sneak peek at the LAX Marriott’a new carpet, then this podcast is for you!

The Lie of the Land by Toby Whithouse is a tale of mind control, propaganda, and seeking the Truth.  Siskoid and Ashford discuss some of the plot holes and problematic moments in this 3 part finale; however, Ashford was still able to walk out of this with some jollies.  

To celebrate 70 podcasts, Ben and Mark discuss the Doctor Who westerns 'A Town Called Mercy' and 'The Gunfighters' over a magnificent 70(ish) minutes of drinks and chat. Under discussion this month: Toby Whithouse's Wild West shopping list, the Western genre, comedy in Doctor Who, William Hartnell's comic chops, singing, childrens TV and a long overdue appreciation of some of the show's unsung heroes like cinematographers and directors. Thanks for joining us for 70 of these things, as ever, if you like the podcast, leave us a review on iTunes and/or tweet us @OnTheTimeLash

A new day, a new episode for the Bigger on the Inside crew with Geofaxx in tow to delve into. In this ep, we take a look at the last of the Monk trilogy with the Toby Whithouse-penned The Lie of the Land. And right after that, we determine the best of Series 7 Part 1. Daleks, dinosaurs, cowboys, cubes, angels, snowmen, oh my! Be sure to check out Geofaxx on Twitter: @C_St_M Aired: June 2017 Introduction: "Together or Not at All (The Song of Amy and Rory)" - Doctor Who: Series 7

Ben and Mark talk a load of bull in their fruity Scottish accents as they reach The God Complex and pair it up with 1979's The Horns of Nimon.  Expect Brexit metaphors, an impassioned defence of a much maligned classic, an embarrassing defeat in Degsey's Where Did it Come Game, the differing approaches to the comedy of Douglas Adams and appreciation for an animatronic minotaur, Amara Khan, Rory Williams and Lalla Ward. Praise them. Also this week: Ben and Mark discuss The Ghost Monument, the new TARDIS, and ponder where the new merchandise for the kiddies has disappeared to. 

They weren’t important anyway. Weirdly enough, as I’m writing this, I just woke up from a dream about Blake’s 7. Which is weird because I’ve never dreamt about Doctor Who even though I’ve been watching it forever. Really disconcerting actually. Weird. It’s Amy’s Choice, written by Toby Whithouse and aired on May 15, 2010. DoctorContinue reading →

Happy New Year!  MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast is back for its 150th episode, a discussion of the DOCTOR WHO Series 6 (32) episode, "The God Complex", written by Toby Whithouse and directed by Nick Hurran.  We missed this episode on its original airing, during one of our (many) hiatus... hiatuses... hiati?, and it dovetails nicely with #148 on "The Horns of Nimon", so it gets that coveted spot as the sesquicentennial podcast! "God Complex" is an intriguing mix of creepy mystery/horror combined with a philosophical examining of our core faith/beliefs (be it in religion or other outside forces, or, in the case of Amy, the Doctor himself).  It features a Minotaur at the center of a maze, but a very different one from classic Greek Mythology (or even "Nimon", which is namechecked in this story, thus the idea to link this with "Horns of Nimon").   We dive deep in the story and its various elements, discussing what worked and what could have been fleshed out more.  We talk about the excellent guest cast, the denouement with the Doctor saying goodbye (apparently) to Amy & Rory, and even discussion about what the Doctor saw, which was a mystery at the time, but is actually revealed in the episode in a very clever way (and ultimately very clearly revealed in "The Time of the Doctor"). John has some great trivia as well, which is such a key part of our podcast!  It's a really fun discussion that we hope you'll enjoy!

Phil sits down with Kit Gonzo to chat mind control, monks, and Toby Whithouse.

In this week's episode my guest co-host is Jason McLaughlin (@jangomac72), and we discuss Lie of the Land by Toby Whithouse. Shownotes here.

MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast this week addresses "The Lie of the Land", the finale to the Monks trilogy, written by Toby Whithouse and directed by Wayne Yip.  We were both less than enthused by this episode individually as well as in its role as the culmination of the three-part story.  We will go in depth about what didn't work at all for us (as well as some stuff we did like - Missy, Bill's Mom).  John also makes some good points about how and why the trilogy doesn't hold together for him (nor me).  I lament the loss of the early-season momentum and express my dislike of the Monks in general as foes for the Doctor.  There's also trivia, of course!  

Toby Whithouse vuelve a Doctor Who para traernos The Lie of the Land, el final de la trilogía de los Monjes. ¿Ha resultado una resolución satisfactoria a estos tres últimos episodios? ¿Consideramos que Los Monjes han sido unos enemigos memorables? ¿Ha funcionado esta peculiar estructura de three-parter ahora que hemos visto el conjunto? ¿Qué nos parece el camino que parece llevar el arco de Missy esta temporada? Todo esto y mucho más en este programa.Volveremos en una semana con Empress of Mars, por Mark Gatiss. Podéis escuchar el programa a través de Ivoox: También podéis escuchar el programa directamente a través de este enlace.Los temas musicales usados en este programa se distribuyen a través de whomix:Rocked Radiophonic - Steve TitfordThe 12th Doctor - Phil Drury

It’s the end of the Monk Trilogy with the Toby Whithouse scripted and Wayne Yip directed “The Lie of the Land”…but what were the Hot Takes™ of the Three Who Rule (reunited, and it feels so good) on the curtain-draped corpses with the lightning and the brainwashing and the what not? What of Bill and Nardole and their quest to find the Doctor? And most importantly…what of Peter Capaldi’s new coat!? Plus we have news of stats, steelbooks and the Resurrection of Ruprecht!

MUTTER'S SPIRAL Podcast 131 talks all about "The Pyramid at the End of the World", written by Peter Harness & Steven Moffat, directed by Daniel Nettheim.  It's part 2 of the "Monks" trilogy, and, candidly, it's not our favorite.  John and I discuss what worked, what didn't, and the big flaws we each found in the episode.  We will go into various theories we have, as well as real world issues that affected the creation of this episode, while holding out hope that Part 3 next week (and Toby Whithouse) can save this story. There's also discussion of the first batch of guests announced for 2018's Gallifrey One convention - classic stars, new series stars, writers, directors, and annual favorites of us all!  Gally may be 9 months away, but we are already eagerly anticipating it!

It's the Who's He? Podcast Christmas Special! And as the lads have run out of TV Christmas Specials to review (at least until The Feast Of Steven is recovered), they turn to Big Finish for help with a listen to Flip Flop featuring the 7th Doctor and Mel in a Christmas set story. It's the lads first Mel Bush audio story, so how will they find Mel now in this rather unique take on a time travel story, toned down or just as shrill as before? And just how festive is this story, does it reach the heights of an Andy Williams Christmas spectacular or as festive as a Seaside Special hosted by Peter Powell (ask your parents)? And in the news this week, Class confirmed for a late night slot, Toby Whithouse confirmed for writing duties on series 10 and in Omega's Tat Corner it's time piece tat! And finally, it just leaves us to say a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our listeners. Thanks for sticking with us! 

It is the week before the Advent of Doctor Mysteriousness, and so the news is a little light as fandom sits in the eye of the hurricane. But there is word of both Toby Whithouse musing on Twitter about his upcoming Series 10 episode, and Leela joining the War Doctor in his audio adventures in the new year! And speaking of Leela, both Louise Jameson and John Leeson are featured this week as Steven interviewed them at the recent Chicago TARDIS convention! Savage Tin Doggerel, ahoy!

Toby Hadoke - comedian, actor and TV expert - provides another free podcast and download in which he tracks down someone associated with a Doctor Who story from the last 53 years of the show's TV history for a conversation...

Neste programa comentamos sobre os episódios da 2ª temporada, Tooth and Claw e School Reunion, escritos por Russell T. Davies e Toby Whithouse, respectivamente.

Toby Hadoke breaks the fourth wall and raises a glass as part of his range of interviews with people involved with the past 52 years or Doctor Who. The resulting chat is presented here as a free podcast or download. Merry Christmas!

In Minisode 4: Just Like The Ten Commandments Or X-Men 2, the boys ponder Before The Flood by Toby Whithouse. Topics of discussion include electric guitar, breaking the fourth wall, Arthurian myth, and more metaphysical horror. But all that pales in comparison to the big question… Could Kelvin's crackpot Kill The Moon theory be coming […]

Wibbly wobbly timey wimey, just how we like our Doctor Who. We are back with another episode of Bad Wolf Radio. Those eyes. We talk about David Tennant's kind of appearance in the new Jessica Jones trailer. Big scary monsters. We walk through all the Toby Whithouse written episodes and discuss similarities with Before the Flood. Remember when. Aaron talks about a couple Doctor Who episodes (Rose, Utopia) he went back and recently rewatched. Explain it to me. We review the latest episode of Doctor Who, Before the Flood.

Hello hello hello!Time for a good look at how to properly write some Doctor Who!Needless to say, we here at The Happiness Patrol had a wonderful time watching Under The Lake and Before The Flood.Sit back and relax with your headphones as we discuss everythingToby Whithouse on this week's installment of The Happiness Patrol Episode 150: Let's Get Wet

Nesta edição falamos sobre o episódio Before the Flood, da 9ª temporada, escrito por Toby Whithouse. Ele compõe o arco juntamente com Under the Lake. Ouça ao podcast anterior.

I really enjoyed "Before the Flood"–except for one thing that seems to be coming dangerously close to a trend in Doctor Who. And in this episode, as the Radio Times revealed, it was no accident.

In this episode, Daniel and Shana are highly amused (and at least somewhat impressed by) the second two-part story of Series 9, "Under the Lake/Before the Flood." A base-under-siege with a nifty Golden Age SF time travel twist, this story inspires discussion of subjugated peoples controlled by mental conditioning, the way that that metaphor might reflect modern-day patriarchal structures, and the use of time travel paradoxes in Moffat Who. Also: email about military adventurism in the Western world, discussion of the space opera elements of Blake's 7, and a rough definition of the word miniarchist. All that and a rubber monster, too.  Main Topic: Under the Lake/Before the Flood. Shana's Intro. Daniel didn't hate this. Where have these characters been? Semaphore. Sophie Stone. New producer. Our deaf listeners? An email from Henry, our miniarchist friend. Quote, unquote. Literally. "Don't ding a poet!" Blake's 7. The Underwater Menace DVD and the possibility of streaming. A letter from Tom and military metaphor. "Lean back and think of England." Toby Whithouse. Shana does her Susan Foreman impersonation for Jack Graham. Petroleum. I'm from UNIT. Pacing. O'Donnel versus Osgood. The Cold War. Prentiss and BDSM. The Tivolians and the Ood. Not Robin Williams. Daniel is an idiot. The love stories. Feels like a Classic Who four-parter. Still not a bossy control freak. Dynamic female characters. The bootstrap paradox. Breaking the fourth wall. Rock star anarchist Rod Serling. Our blind listeners. Doctor Who as a time travel story. Robert Osborne. Structure. Fixed points and Time Lords. Flood myths. Bigger pictures. "Can we call him Aladdin?" Consistent universes. Alien races in Classic Who. Trek vs. Who. "They can't say the Doctor's been racist for 2000 years." Future history. Creature design. The Fisher King versus the Graf Vynda-K. Screwdriver vs. Sunglasses. Next week: State of Decay.  Full Battle Rattle, a documentary mentioned in the show. Shana and Daniel discuss The Mind Robber and the God Complex. Find Our Stuff!  Find us on iTunes! Or Facebook!

Ben and Eugene review Toby Whithouse’s two-part Doctor Who adventure Under the Lake and Before the Flood. The Doctor and Clara investigate creepy happenings under the lake, then the Doctor takes  a jaunt back to 1980’s Scotland, as you do.

Far beyond wishing everyone at home a Merry Christmas, Toby Whithouse's "Before the Flood" opens with the show's most Fourth Wall-breaking moment yet, revealing once again how subversive the Moffat Era really is.

In Minisode 3: I'm Okay With Pseudoscience, the guys debate the merits of Under The Lake by Toby Whithouse. Listen as they discuss bases under siege, cabins in the woods, the metaphysical implications of alien ghosts, Kelvin's traumatic Kill The Moon flashbacks and much more! What did you think of Under The Lake? Let us […]

Reliably late in the week and painfully early in the morning, it's the Eleventh Hour Podcast! Let's take Toby Whithouse by the hand and go on a charming adventure under the sea, where hollow-eyed ghosts throw knives at you and there's a terrifying submerged village outside. Honesty time - I'm far too tired to write anything more than this. Listen to the podcast, willya? www.ehpodcast.com

Neste programa falamos sobre o 3º episódio da 9ª temporada: Under the Lake, escrito por Toby Whithouse.

Arriving at an underwater mining base in Scotland in the year 2119, the Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) discover a crew haunted by ghosts after bringing an alien vessel aboard. But are they really ghosts, or something else entirely?

A base under siege story from writer Toby Whithouse with the added twist of ghosts and an actor from the later episodes of Whithouse’s BBC Three hit drama Being Human combined to put us on the edge of our seats, my first thoughts review on this thrilling episode with a few additional missives from the Twitterverse.   The show is now on Facebook please join the group for exclusive behind the scenes insights and of course also discuss and feedback on the show https://www.facebook.com/groups/187162411486307/   If you want to send me comments or feedback you can email them to tdrury2003@yahoo.co.uk or contact me on twitter where I'm @tdrury or send me a friend request and your comments to facebook where I'm Tim Drury and look like this http://www.flickr.com/photos/tdrury/3711029536/in/set-72157621161239599/ in case you were wondering.  

Archetype, trope or formula? As we return to the "base under siege" style of Doctor Who storytelling, does writer Toby Whithouse do something fresh with it? And is it time for a serious talk about Clara?

This week Phil and Paul finally return to their series 2 retrospective with the beloved School Reunion written by Toby Whithouse.  And what a story to return to! Sarah Jane Smith and K9 make their return to the Whoniverse in a tale of old friends and tasty chips. Other topics crop up along the way with reasons why Anthony Head should have been made the Master, Rose at her most possessive and sparkling dialogue! And in the news, the sad passing of Bernard Kay and Fiona Cummings, yet more stats for Last Christmas and in Omega's Tat Corner some beverage tat news that descends into filth.

We missed a week there. Sorry! Having some difficulties with podcast scheduling and editing.  In any case, this week Shana and Daniel talk about two mindfuck episodes, The Mind Robber from the Second Doctor's run, and the God Complex from Series 6 of the new series. Also: Is Shana Daniel's spunky female companion? Tune in to find out. Show Notes Main Topic: The Mind Robber and The God Complex. Mind-fuckery. Is Shana Daniel's "spunky female companion?" Shana jumps into the gutter very early in the episode. The length of episodes in The Mind Robber. Daniel summarizes the story of The Mind Robber. The famous shot of Zoe's ass. "Sex pests." General kinds of enemies it's possible to send after the Doctor. Shana's feelings about Jame and Zoe. Sexualization of Zoe and her age. Zoe as the "new and improved Susan." Jamie's absence for a couple of episodes. The Doctor picking the wrong face (and being assisted in the correction by Zoe) as a revealing character moment. Back to Harry Sullivan and "old girl." Frazier Hines adding "Jamie-isms." Talkin' about the Karkus. Fetishy Rapunzel. We're on Tumblr too much. Admiring the Gulliver's Travels influence in the Mind Robber. Raiding the costume closet at the BBC. Daniel name-drops June Hudson like a boss. Summarizing the God Complex in a few sentences. The rich history of minotaurs in fiction. "The God Complex" makes Daniel's head hurt, and not in a good way. Not a Moffat-friendly podcast. Lazy writing. Daniel likes to surprise Shana with things on this podcast. Not wanting to revisit Moffat-era episodes. Rita as a great side character. Talking about Toby Whithouse, Being Human, and shallow characterization. Liking lots of stuff in The God Complex, but not much happens and there's a lot of padding. Pacing problems. Alien species as comic relief and make no sense otherwise. Shana thinks the God Complex is Not Scary. Personal fears as idiosyncratic choices. "The God Complex" as a sort of bottle episode. Perhaps the episode should have been a two-parter? Shoutout to the TARDIS Tavern. Talking about the ending. Rory could have solved the plot in ten seconds. The dying minotaur. Lots of sighing. Things we liked about The God Complex. Matt Smith's costume. A bit of confusing direction. Wrapping up.   

This week the "facts" are more than usually brutalised, most egregiously when John manifestly muddles up Toby Whithouse and Stephen Thompson.At least we all know what a gadfly is now.

Steven returns this week to the Radio Free Skaro fold after spending the previous week in a Doctor Who-less desolation in the form of the lakes area of Northern Wisconsin. A completely different desolate location (namely, Almeria, Spain) served as the backdrop of Episode Three of Series 7a of Doctor Who, A Town Called Mercy, a sharp-looking homage to the many spaghetti Westerns that were filmed in its environs. The Three Who Rule were surprisingly all on the same page when it comes to how well writer Toby Whithouse, director Saul Metzstein, and the rest of the team brought this episode to being... Also, an unexpected deluge of viewing figures dominates the news list, but is punctuated by the unqualified ratings success of Doctor Who on SPACE in Canada and the gradual realization that what has always been a niche show north of the 49th parallel is becoming part of the mainstream. And, no, we don't know how to deal with that, either. Check out the show notes at http://www.radiofreeskaro.com
