Who's He? Podcast

In this episode Phil is joined by the wonderful Erika Ensign from the Verity Podcast. And in the wake of Class being cancelled recently, they decided to sit down and chat about the various Doctor Who spin offs that have been made for TV starting with K9 and Company and right up to date with the aforementioned Class and also just how the TV stations in their respective countries treated some of these series. It might not be as different as you think!

Phil and Paul return once again to the past with their series 1 retrospective with a look at Aliens of London by Russell T. Davies. In this tale of alien invasion and copious amounts of farting, how does this story hold up now? Well, Phil thought time was kinder to it then he remembered but Paul, well, he's not a fan of soap operas it seems!

Also, we have an interview with Hayden Gribble from the Diddly Dum Podcast who talks about his new book Child Out of Time: Growing Up With Doctor Who in The Wilderness Years.

And in the news, Shada is getting the animated treatment and we say goodbye to Trevor Martin.

Find information on Hayden's book here.

In this episode Phil and Paul have another crack at a Target novelisation with The Greatest Show In The Galaxy by Stephen Wyatt. As neither Phil nor Paul are particular fans of McCoys era on TV, they were both afraid that this read would be a struggle. However, as Phil has a soft spot for this story and Paul doesn't it didn't bode well for this review but the pair of them surprised each other when they started talking and they also decide who Peggy Mount could take in a fight.

And in a change to the normal schedule, Phil talks to writer Andrew Smith about Doctor Who and most importantly his 10K run in aid of the Lily Foundation, a charity that is very important to him. So sit back and enjoy and don't forget to donate!

In this special edition of the Who's He? Podcast, a very nervous Phil talks to legendary Doctor Who producer Philip Hinchcliffe at the Whooverville 9 convention in Derby.

As well as discussing his time on Doctor Who, he also talks about writing scripts for Crossroads and the irritant that was Mary Whitehouse! Don't miss it!

In this edition of the Who's He? Video Podcast, Phil pays tribute to the Doctor Who Experience which has now sadly closed in Cardiff.

Phil also manages to slip in a bit of good old fashioned nepotism into the show as well!

Phil and Paul return to the Doctors audio adventures and this time they have selected David Tennant's and Catherine Tate's first audio adventure for Big Finish, Technophobia. In a bright and breezy review with no signs of either of them running for the hills at the sight of a microphone, both of our intrepid hosts find a lot to enjoy in this story and comment on whether this captures the essence of New Who and does it also recapture the 10th Doctor and Donna Noble relationship?

And in the news, rumour that Bradley Walsh is the new companion (which leads into a thread of "two handers"..... ooer!), RTD gets a lifetime achievement award and in Omega's Tat Corner and item of apparel that will make you stand out at any party!

After what feels like a lifetime, Phil and Paul return once again to their series one retrospective and The Unquiet Dead by Mark Gatiss. In a story that sees the writer, director and cast all on top form, it leads the pair of them to question whether Mark Gatiss output for Doctor Who requires a reappraisal. But they also question whether the alien in this story really deserved to become a villain at the end or whether the Doctors attitude towards the dead was story enough?

And in the news this week, Jodie Whittakers reactions to being cast as the Doctor, there's a Doctor Who actor celebrating a centenary, we say goodbye to Victor Pemberton and Hywell Bennett and in Omega's Tat Corner (or Tats Corner as Phil keeps saying!) it's Mr. Men tat.

It's Target time again and this time Phil and Paul have selected the behemoth that is The War Games by Malcom Hulke. So how can a 10 episode TV story translate into a very short book? Well, it appears that Paul and Phil have a difference of opinion on this one with topics such as characters that go nowhere, acting that is distracting, disappointment at the author and whether this book is best read while eating your favourite ice cream.

And in the news, the casting of Jodie Whittaker continues to be debated, the title of the Christmas Special is revealed, is Shada getting the animated treatment and the sad passing of Deborah Watling and Trevor Baxter.
