ADAM HENLEY talks about his TV history and THE WEST WING First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on February 2nd 2025. This week we welcome a new voice to VISION ON SOUND, that of ADAM HENLEY, an archive television fan who I first met when he offered to help out with some of my technical support when I was recording our live show on stage at WHOOVERVILLE in Derby last September. He expressed an interest in taking part, and suggested we might talk about THE WEST WING for the show. However, because he hadn't been on the show before, I also wanted to talk a little bit about his own life as a fan of television, so, whilst we do get to THE WEST WING in the end, it's on a journey that takes via LOGOPOLIS, the PYE TUBE CUBE. THE YOUNG ONES, EASTENDERS, BLACKADDER GOES FORTH, THE TIME MACHINE, and the films of POWELL AND PRESSBURGER to finally reach the Oval Office, which is certainly a very different route to the one taken by the current incumbent, and I hope that you'll stick with us for the full term of this edition of the show, which is, luckily enough, only going to take up an hour of your time. PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition. All the spoken word content remains (mostly) as it was in the broadcast version. Hopefully this won't spoil your enjoyment of the show.
In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast.... Welcome The First Doctor - An Unearthly Child Completely ignoring the fact that they did another version of this about 30 episodes ago, Phil and Scott celebrate Doctor Who Day start their series of looking at how good how each Doctor's inaugral stories were at introducing them to the waiting world, with An Unearthly Child, starring William Hartnell. This was also Scott's first time watching this story in its entirety, so were cavemen and fire a good way to introduce the world to Doctor Who? And in the news, Phil surprises Scott live on air with convention news and the announcement of Whooverville 16 in August 2025 and because Christmas is just around the corner, Doctor Who fans need gift ideas, so that means a long overdue peek into Omega's Tat Corner.

VISION ON SOUND live on stage at WHOOVERVILLE 15 with TOMMY KNIGHT, CHRIS CHAPMAN, & JASON QUINN. First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on September 8th 2024. Whilst VISION ON SOUND is a show where we do like to try to explore the wider world of archive television, and is not just about one specific television series that gets a lot of far better coverage in other places, it's hard not to admit that DOCTOR WHO was definitely the gateway into that wider world for a lot of people who grew up watching it. It is just one of those shows, I guess, that happens to have a lot of documentation written about it, and a lot of people who love it enough to want to find out more about it. Running on television for more than sixty years probably helps a little bit with that, too. This week, thanks to show regulars STEVE HATCHER and ANDREW-MARK THOMPSON, for the third year in a row, I was invited to record an edition of VISION ON SOUND live on stage at WHOOVERVILLE 15 the one-day DOCTOR WHO convention that they organise and run in conjunction with both their own fan group THE WHOOVERS, and with THE QUAD in Derby, which this year took place on the 31st of August 2024. I'm delighted to say that, for our afternoon VISION ON SOUND recording session this year, I was able to be joined on stage in Cinema 2 by TOMMY KNIGHT, the actor who, alongside other roles, played LUKE SMITH in THE SARAH JANE ADVENTURES. Alongside him, I was able to welcome CHRIS CHAPMAN, the television producer/director, and writer for Big Finish Productions, who is currently one of the team producing new content for the popular DOCTOR WHO COLLECTION Blu-Ray sets. We were also very lucky to be joined by JASON QUINN who is the latest editor for DOCTOR WHO MAGAZINE, and between us I think that we managed to have an interesting session discussing DOCTOR WHO in a slightly wider context, and I hope that the audience on the day enjoyed it, and, hopefully, those of you who are now tuning in will enjoy it too. You'll also hear STEVE introducing me at the beginning, but, because he is always having a very busy day when the event is running, he does have to slip quietly away to leave us to just get on with it. As ever, I'm always very moved and humbled that they are prepared to take that leap of faith in what we do here on VISION ON SOUND, and appreciate the trust that they have in me to do whatever it is that I do, and I can't thank them enough, once again, for allowing me to take part.

Hopefully this won't spoil your enjoyment of the show.

VoS live on stage at WHOOVERVILLE 14 with guests GARY RUSSELL, TIM TRELOAR, JONATHON CARLEY and STEVE HATCHER. First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on September 10th 2023 As an Archive TV fan, I'm always very impressed whenever I hear about any kind of organized event where fans of a certain type of television gather together to celebrate and appreciate any kind of archive television show. This is, after all, how we keep the memory of these classic series alive and pass on the knowledge of them to future generations. Some series, of course, have a bigger following than others, and are able to offer much larger events for people who love those shows to gather together, and so we get huge events that celebrate the great series that almost everybody in the “NOT WE” world have at least heard of like STAR TREK, THE PRISONER, and, of course DOCTOR WHO. Now, in STEVE HATCHER and ANDREW-MARK THOMPSON, we have a couple of regular contributors to this show who also happen to be the movers and shakers behind one of the more popular, inclusive, and friendly annual DOCTOR WHO conventions, in that every year on the Saturday after the AUGUST BANK HOLIDAY – pandemics permitting – for the past decade and a half or so, they've organized – with the help of their loyal fan group known as the WHOOVERS - a one-day gathering in DERBY for fans of DOCTOR WHO that is known as WHOOVERVILLE – and they've recently released their fourteenth WHOOVERVILLE into the world on SATURDAY THE SECOND OF SEPTEMBER 2023. Happily STEVE was also able in their busy schedule to arrange an afternoon slot for me to attempt to record this VISION ON SOUND so I could once again try to do a live show in front of an audience, with several of the guests who had been invited to WHOOVERVILLE made available to talk to me. Rather less happily, on the day, and entirely due to my own shortcomings, the gremlins got into the recording equipment, and so the sound quality of the following is rather sadly not the greatest, but hopefully you'll be able to hear enough of what this fantastic quartet of guests had to talk about on the day. And so, after hearing me explaining to the audience a little bit about what I think VISION ON SOUND is all about, you'll also hear STEVE HATCHER co-hosting the discussion with me from the safety of a necessary armchair, with GARY RUSSELL, JONATHON CARLEY, and TIM TRELOAR joining us on stage. GARY RUSSELL was the editor of Doctor Who Magazine between 1992 and 1995 and the original executive producer for Big Finish Productions from 1998 to 2006, and has written many Doctor Who comics and novels. In recent years he has been executive producer of one of the groups working on animations of missing Doctor Who stories. JONATHON CARLEY voiced the War Doctor and the Twelfth Doctor in the Doctor Who Lockdown webcast Doctors Assemble! In 2021, he took over the role of The War Doctor for Big Finish and has delighted audiences with his extraordinarily accurate recreation of the late Sir John Hurt, and you may also recognize him from the recent series THE POWER OF PARKER. TIM TRELOAR's interpretation of the Third Doctor has garnered great acclaim since 2015, including from many of those who worked with Jon Pertwee on television. Beyond Doctor Who, he has appeared in TV shows such as Casualty, Lewis, The Bill, Midsomer Murders, Doctors and Russell T. Davies' Mine All Mine. You may have seen him recently in Agatha Christie's Why Didn't They Ask Evans? and the six-part BBC miniseries WOLF. So, let's transport ourselves back to SEPTEMBER the SECOND 2023, and the stage of CINEMA TWO in THE QUAD in DERBY for our live discussion at WHOOVERVILLE 14. PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition. All the spoken word content remains (mostly) as it was in the broadcast version. Hopefully this won't spoil your enjoyment of the show.

First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on September 11th 2022 Two former guests on VISION ON SOUND happen to be the chief movers and shakers behind WHOOVERVILLE, an annual DOCTOR WHO convention held in DERBY in September, and this year they were kind and supportive enough to ask VISION ON SOUND to join them and take part. So, we packed up our trusty FAB GEAR and took VISION ON SOUND on the road for the very first time to do a couple of interviews in front of a live audience in the cinema at DERBY QUAD where at very short notice for them, I was kindly allowed to interview the well-known television actor FRAZER HINES (who you'll be familiar with from a whole host of shows including EMMERDALE and DOCTOR WHO) and the television writers ANDREW SMITH and STEPHEN WYATT who between them, amongst many other writing credits, wrote several scripts for DOCTOR WHO in its classic era. Any technical shortcomings in the recordings are entirely my own doing, but I hope you'll still be able to enjoy what they all had to say. With grateful thanks to FRAZER HINES, ANDREW SMITH and STEPHEN WYATT for their fascinating and entertaining insights, and STEVE HATCHER for dropping by. I've a long list of other people to thank for contributing to this week's show, including STEVE HATCHER and ANDREW MARK-THOMPSON for the invitation, kindness, and support, DERBY QUAD for all their help on the day, PAUL RIPLEY for lending us the FAB GEAR, PHILIPPA for acting as my assistant (and carer) on the day, SANDY McGREGOR for acting as my MINDER when asked, as well as all of those kind and wonderful people attending WHOOVERVILLE for just being fabulous and very supportive company, as well as FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL for all that they do, including supplying STEVE SOUTHERN's music. PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition. All the spoken word content remains (mostly) as it was in the broadcast version. Hopefully this won't spoil your enjoyment of the show. Episode segments Edit audio
The Fallow Times of No Doctor Who and Even Less Information continues, but our friends across the pond at least had events with real live Doctor Who people to meet at FCC Birmingham and Whooverville 13, Abominable Snowmen BFI excitement, and most importantly, our thoughts on Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, and even more importantly still a pristine copy of William Shatner in his 1978 performance of Elton John's “Rocket Man” in pristine 3/4-inch U-matic quality! All of which is mere lead in to The Timelash, hashing out key (and not so key) dates in Doctor Who history so you don't have to!

The News William Hartnell's 2nd season of Doctor Who is getting the blu-ray boxset treatment and we find out (sort of) when the Jodie Whittakers swansong as the Doctor in the centenary special. Whooverville Convention Report Scott and Phil attended the Whooverville Convention at the Quad Derby on 3rd September and in what was Scotts first Whooverville and Doctor Who convention. And a great time was had by both of them, so as soon as they got back to their hotel room, Phil switched on his portable mic and recorded their thoughts on their day out. Don't forget, Whooverville 14 is on 2nd September 2023!!
