The Doctor Who Show

Welcome to the tenth episode of the podcast we’re dropping on the feed every month in between our regular monthly shows. Normally Rob sits down with his co-host Dave, or a guest, to talk about letters from classic issues of Doctor Who Magazine. In today’s podcast, however, Dave is presenting letters to Rob from a classic issue of Sonic Screwdriver – the fanzine of the Victorian Doctor Who Fan Club. This is Doctor Who without a safety net. The conversations could go anywhere the guest wants them to go. This is Primary Sources.

A new month means a new LIST MAKERS episode! This time, our top stories of the 1980s. These are 20m chats based around making a list related to a Doctor Who topic and discussing our similarities, differences, and whatever else comes up during the chat! If you’re enjoying this format, write in and let us know. Suggestions for future lists to be drawn from The Hat of Rassilon are also welcome; get in touch! Twitter, Facebook or email us old-school style at hello@thedwshow.net

Regular listeners will know we don't talk a lot of Big Finish on the show. We occasionally mention it in news stories and Rob recently reviewed the new Eccleston box set, "Ravagers", but on the whole we aren't a Big Finish podcast and often point our listeners towards the excellent, Sirens of Time podcast by fellow Aussies Dwayne Bunney and Philip Edney. Tonight, however, we talk about our backgrounds with Big Finish... what we have and haven't heard... what we'd like to do with our Big Finish listening in the future... and most importantly of all, we review THE HOLY TERROR by Rob Shearman, as voted by YOU. Before then, of course, we have some news from the past month in Doctor Who, and some mini-topics we want to discuss. You know the drill for our flagship show by now, dear listener. Hope you enjoy the episode. Contact us anytime, hello@theDWshow.net

Welcome to the ninth episode of the podcast we’re dropping on our podcast feed every month in addition to The List Makers and our flagship Doctor Who Show episodes. These are short podcasts where Rob sits down with a guest and reads letters – the primary sources of the title – about Doctor Who from the 80s and 90s, for the purpose of kick-starting a conversation. Vitally, the guest doesn’t know anything about the content of the letters before we record. In this episode, Rob talks to Richard Smith from the Something Who podcast about the letters in DWM from August of 1987! This is Doctor Who without a safety net. The conversations could go anywhere the guest wants them to go. This is Primary Sources.

A new month means a new LIST MAKERS episode!  This time, our top worst special effects in Doctor Who.

What started as an off-hand comment in an episode last season has grown into its own topic on today's show - Cool Spaceships in Doctor Who! Which are the ships we think are cool between 1963 and 2021... and why? Before then, we do our usual news and short topics which, this month, includes some commentary on both the Noel Clarke and John Barrowman situations. Topics we aren't happy to be talking about but which, as we say in the episode, would be conspicuous by their absence if we ignored them. We also look at the BBCs stance on fan-created content. Later in the episode it's over to our listeners for three great picks from our mailbag. And that's May! Hope you enjoy the episode. Contact us anytime, hello@theDWshow.net  

Welcome to the eighth episode of the podcast we’re dropping on the feed every month in addition to The List Makers and our flagship Doctor Who Show episodes. These are short (20 minute-ish) shows where Rob sits down with a guest and reads letters – the primary sources of the title – about Doctor Who from the 80s and 90s, for the purpose of kick-starting a conversation. Vitally, the guest doesn’t know anything about the content of the letters until the recording. In this episode, Rob talks to his Doctor Who Show co-host, Dave!  This is Doctor Who without a safety net. The conversations could go anywhere the guest wants them to go. This is Primary Sources.

Doctor Who: The Ninth Doctor Adventures - Ravagers is the mouthful of a title that is an umbrella for three audio adventures released May 13 featuring Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor, written by Nicholas Briggs.

On July 29, 2018, Rob and Dave released the popular, 'Classic Doctors in Nu Who Episodes' episode. Quite why they didn't follow this up with a sequel covering the reverse scenario question eludes them to this day. Enter listener Owen Prince (@kellogs24 on Twitter if you want to say hello), who recently suggested, ever so nicely, that making the sequel - the podcast you'll hear today - would be a really top idea. As you know, we love hearing from our listeners, and we took the idea to heart. Tune in to hear which classic stories we'd insert Eccleston, Tennant, Smith, Capaldi, and Whittaker into. Some choices might seem obvious, but some will definitely catch you by surprise. They're off the wall! Before we get to that, of course, there's our usual news and short topics. The feature content starts around the 25 minute mark if you're looking this up at a future date and want to skip the preamble.  Hope you enjoy the episode! Contact us anytime, hello@theDWshow.net
