Tim's Take On...

A trip back in time this week for the first of two shows covering September’s Radio Times Festival held in London. This week a rare public appearance by Russell T Davies, who generously stayed behind for two hours after this interview and Q&A to meet fans. Apologizes for the audio quality which was far from perfect even for the audience on the day.

You get three reviews for the price of one this week, as I get quite excited about the straight to video brit horror Howl, ramble on about Lego dimensions and get rather fan boy like whilst watching Doctor Who: Hell Bent this year’s season finale which brought back the Timelords in style and finally pleased people like me that have been longing for a proper TARDIS interior since the show returned.

Officially the oddest episode in 52 years of Dr Who was Doctor Who: Hell Bent, 55 mins of The Doctor stuck in his own Chronic Hysterisis aka his own private hell a story that literally took him billions of years for him to experience, some people will really hate this one, I loved how brave it was and only the BBC would have allowed Stephen Moffatt to pull this off it was clearly a writing exercise on Moffatt’s part and an acting one on Capaldi’s. Great television, great Doctor Who? The jury’s out, certainly unforgettable and unexpected so as far as I’m concerned not rubbish. Clearly thought provoking hence the lengthy show notes this week. Feel free to post comments to the facebook group it will be interesting to read listeners thoughts on this one. Love it or hate it folks?

It was time to bid farewell to Clara in Doctor Who: Face The Raven, Maisie Williams also made a welcome return though some not me don’t seem to like her acting. Possibly a brave decision to kill off Clara but the character had gone beyond mere risk taker into arrogance and may have been heading for a fall.

Mark Gatiss’s contribution to Doctor Who this year is rather different, the story Sleep No More is told entirely through found footage which only adds to it’s claustrophobic atmosphere. I myself enjoyed it, but as you’ll hear it’s splitting others opinions.

The Zygons returned to the show this week with Doctor Who: The Zygon Invasion, Peter Harness somehow managed to write an urban thriller inspired by the current terrorist threat but also by cold war paranoia and Invasion of The Body Snatchers, next week’s show will be at least 24 hours late as I’ll be travelling when Dr Who airs but hopefully if everything goes to plan will include not only a review of The Zygon Inversion but also a brief chat with some visiting fellow Dr Who podcasters.

Maisie Williams returned this week in Doctor Who: The Woman Who Lived a Clara lite episode with an interestingly alternative take on a Dr Who companion, also Rufus Hound was on guest star duties and provided a few laughs, second romp in a row I have a feeling the show will take a dark turn next week.

A review with a difference this week as I’m posting this show from the Dimensions convention so you’ll not only hear my views on Doctor Who: The Girl Who died but also a couple of fellow attendees.

The Doctor travels Before The Flood this week and this show travels to it’s 300th episode so there’s some feedback from listeners on that landmark, also this week a review of Doctor Who: City of Death audiobook which I’ve been enjoying recently.
