Shownotes

An incredible new phenomenon within the world of Doctor Who has occurred. Fans around the planet are watching the show online via free streaming service Twitch.tv. Known more widely as a platform for esports streaming, the Amazon-owned service, more colloquially known simply as Twitch, is streaming Doctor Who's first 26 years, from 100,000 BC to episode 4 of Survival. Fans can simply visit the site and start watching!

Better still, this streaming service offers live text chat. What this adds to old episodes of Doctor Who that you've seen again and again is the benefit of new eyes, of youth. Many of the current viewers are millennials, largely fans of the modern show. They have their own interpretations, different frames of reference, and most importantly, no knowledge of the flaming that the early years of the show received throughout the 1980s and 90s.

In this week's podKast, Christian Cawley and James McLean watch episodes one and two of The Enemy of the World, and discuss just why everyone should be watching Doctor Who on Twitch.

How does a Doctor Who illustrator get spotted and end up working on DVDs, murals, magazine features, and book covers? To find out, Christian Cawley chatted to Anthony Dry, and recapped the artist's career since 2005, from his start on Kasterborous.com with Christian, right up to date with the recent Target book signing at Forbidden Planet's London Megastore with Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat.

Along the way, listen out for mentions of work with Abba, Iron Maiden, and Simple Minds, as well as a deep insight into how Anthony works, from initial paper outline to execution in Adobe Illustrator.

As an adjunct to our recent look at the best Dalek stories of each era of Doctor Who, Gareth Kavanagh joins us to look at the candidates, and discuss some of his favorite Dalek adventures, and move the conversation towards the most recent.

What went wrong with The Magician's Apprentice/The Witch's Familiar?

Listen out also for definitive decisions from James and Christian on their all-time favourite Dalek stories.

This week's podcast looks at recent #DoctorWho news, including the sale of a William Hartnell script, the audio reunion of Torchwood, new location shoots in Sheffield, and Russell T Davies' reaction to Christopher Eccleston's recent comments concerning his departure from Doctor Who in 2005. PLUS a look at the controversy surrounding the new DWM Time Team...

With James Baldock and Christian Cawley.

Presenting stories with multiple incarnations of #DoctorWho is always a treat... but it sometimes doesn't quite work out. Christian Cawley and James McLean put their heads together to work out just which of these stories is the best. Is it the one you're expecting, or do they have a surprise for you? 

Featuring discussion of:

The Three Doctors; The Five Doctors; The Two Doctors; Dimensions in Time; Time Crash; Day of the Doctor; Twice Upon a Time; countless novels and Big Finish adventures. Oh, and a few words about a wonderful parody account based on the idea of Big Finish exploring every narrative nook and cranny in Doctor Who...

• PodKast live reaction to Peter Capaldi casting

We've had years of debate over who is the best Doctor, or what is the best adventure... but what about the real stars of Doctor Who? It's about time we discussed the true importance of the Daleks, and their adventures. Which Dalek story is the greatest? Christian Cawley and James McLean consider... but will they end up dressed as Robomen by the end?

Probably not, but with 25 true "Dalek stories" since 1963, it's probably time we talked about them in depth.
