Who's He? Podcast

In this edition of the Who's He? Video Podcast (originally released in May 2016), Phil looks at the role of women in Doctor Who over the years.

In this first Who's He? Video Podcast (recorded and released in March 2016), Phil ponders why certain mistakes were left in Doctor Who and reveals what his favourite mistakes are through the power of acting.

It's audio commentary time! Yes, after nearly a year, the trio of Phil, Paul and Tony reconvene to talk and drink all the way through both episodes of The Rescue! Marvel once again at Tony's spurious facts based on the day of the story's original broadcast, which causes Phil to become a little worried! And at some point along the way, they also talk about The Rescue!

And in the news, Tim Piggott-Smith dies age 70, the news that Bill Potts is Doctor Who's first gay companion and a spoiler that hit the press that is so spoilery, Phil and Paul won't even discuss it!

In this Who's He? Companion Special, Phil chats to podcaster, designer and media maverick Ash Farbrother (he told us to write that) about his favourite companion - Dorothy McShane, better known as Ace.

Also, they also talk about Ash's other obessions - horror films and wrestling!

It's Target time! Yes, Phil and Paul let rip on Eric Sawards novelisation of Attack of The Cybermen! A story where not much attacking happens and where the writer appears to be more happy writing an episode of The Sweeney than Doctor Who! However, the lads plough through and are pleased to note that there is feline action along with plenty of sewer action. And Paul cannot get Brian Glover out of his mind.

And in the news this week, a new series 10 trailer, Mondasian Cybermen return in series 10 and Phil and Paul come up with a theory as to when Peter Capaldi will actually leave Doctor Who.

Phil and Paul once again return to their series 1 retrospective with a look at The End of The World, written by Russell T. Davies. This time, Phil and Paul have varying views on this one with Paul enjoying it and Phil a little bit more critical then he has been of late! This makes Paul go the defensive and Phil makes an admission of what happened when re-watching this story!

And in the news this week, the sad passing of actor Neil Fingleton, a series 10 teaser trailer, unsubstantiated claims that Class has been axed and in Omega's Tat Corner it's high class crystal tat!

In this edition of the Who's He? Podcast, Phil and Paul delve into the cloning tanks and look into the face of The King of Sontar from Big Finish. Featuring the 4th Doctor and Leela, this story has a lot that Phil and Paul enjoy but they disagree slightly on a characters actions and Paul is obviously hungry during recording as he mistakes a character for an Italian dish.

In this the news week, the lads return to Peter Capaldi leaving and all the casting rumours for the 13th Doctor and there is news on a couple of returning foes for series 10.

Well, after the lads had finished recording, the news broke that Peter Capaldi announced that he was leaving the role of the Doctor. Despite being caught on the hop, this not entirely unexpected turn of events never the less shocked certain fans but also there was the earth shattering news that Sir John Hurt sadly passed away and we also lost Philip Bond.

But once the news is discussed, it's down to business with their review of the Target novelisation of The Curse of Peladon by Brian Hayles. This is story is held in high regard by both Phil and Paul and never more relevant than it has ever been, so it was with some trepidation that Paul approached this story as he didn't want to get caught out by an appearance of King Peladon's thigh boots!

In this edition of the Who's He? Podcast, it's back to 2005 where it all began again! Yes, this week Paul and Phil take a look at Christopher Eccleston's first appearance as the Doctor in Rose. So how does this story hold up after nearly 12 years? Just what was the impact back in 2005 and does it carry that same impact now? And are burping wheelie bins still not funny?

And in the news this week, audience figure woes continue for Class, director Rodney Bennett passes away and in Omega's Tat Corner, its board game tat!

Hooray! After what felt like an eternity, there was new Doctor Who to watch in the form of this years (or should that be last year now?) Christmas special, The Return of Doctor Mysterio. So, what do Phil and Paul make of superhero themed special? Is it Christmassy enough? Is it superhero..ee enough? Is it Doctor Who...eree (ok I'll stop now) enough? But most importantly after a year of no Doctor Who on our TV screens, was it worth the wait? Find out what they think, plus what our listeners thought of it too.

And in the news, it's the return of the dreaded stats, the series 10 trailer gets dissected by dedicated fans, more 4th Doctor adventures from Big Finish are on the way and there's New Years Honours news.
