Who's He? Podcast

This week and with some trepidation, the Who's He? Podcast reviewing duo take a look at The Caretaker, episode 6 of series 8 of Doctor Who. But why the trepidation? Well, Phil is not exactly Gareth Roberts biggest fan, so his usually well balanced (ahem) critique is under scrutiny, while Paul is much more reserved and ponders over the plot and wonders whether the alien of the week needed to be there at all? And Phil gets caught off guard by being pleasantly surprised not once but twice!

And in the news, the sad loss of Maggie Stables, more stats than you can handle, more DVD news and in Omega's Tat Corner it's rare tat time and quite possibly the most expensive and biggest item of tat ever!

In this weeks episode Phil and Paul tackle the Stephen Thompson and Steven Moffat penned story Time Heist, the latest in this series of Doctor Who and oh dear! Phil and Paul get a bit tetchy with each other during in what proves to be a fairly bumpy discussion and sit on opposite sides of the fence throwing stones at other. Yes, after what seems an eternity, a disagreement on the Who's He? Podcast!!

And in the news this week, the sad passing of Angus Lennie, loadsa stats, DVD releases that have been named "quasi tat" and in real tat news, the official 12th Doctor figure is released.

This week Phil and Paul have to pay attention and listen to this weeks episode of Doctor Who with erm...Listen. In what has been described as the scariest episode of Doctor Who ever, does the weight of expectation bear down too heavily on this story or does it live up to the hype? Phil and Paul give you their opinion in a somewhat different format this week as they are actually in the same room to record and also they attempt this review directly after watching the episode on the night of broadcast!

And in the news the sad passing of Jane Baker, a new Guinness World Record holder for Doctor Who tat, Omega's Tat Corner and as this week they are recording before the overnight viewing figures were released, they play What's The Stats for possibly the first and last time!

Foldy roldy ray do day!! Tis another week for the Who's He? Podcast and this time they review Mark Gatiss's take on ye olde legend of Robin Hood, Robot of Sherwood. And verily did Phil wax and wane with opinion of this story, the knave, while young Master Paul doth quip merrily on this episode, the Prince among fans that he is.

Meanwhile, back in the 21st century world of news items, stats, stats and more stats, the decision by the BBC to make an edit to this weeks episode, Peter Capaldi wins TV Personality of the Year at the GQ awards and in Omega's Tat Corner some tat that enables Phil to get some cheap laughs.

The Doctors arch nemesis is back in episode 2 of series 8, Into The Dalek. Does this story add anything new to the Dalek mythos and does it make the nations favourite bad guys bad again or reduced to fairground ride status? Join Phil and Paul as they dissect this story from the returning pen of Phil Ford (and Steven Moffat) and look inside a good Dalek. Or a bad Dalek, a shy Dalek, a coy Dalek, an embarrassed Dalek, a coquettish Dalek, a romantic Dalek....(alright, get on with it!) And in the news, the sad passing of Bill Kerr which leads Paul and Phil to reminisce about the golden age of British radio comedy and yep, you guessed it, more stats!!

After months of anticipation the wait is finally over, Doctor Who is back!! Yes this week Phil and Paul review Peter Capaldi's first episode Deep Breath by Steven Moffat. But was this worth the wait? Well, Phil and Paul flip flop all over the place during their discussion over what appears to be a divisive story with each of them taking turns wearing the grumpy hat. But you will hear such topics as convincing fans of a new Doctor through the companion and past Doctors, dead end plot devices and Pauls experience with Smell-O-Vision at the cinema.

And in the news, rumours fo Jenna Coleman leaving the show at Christmas, Ordnance Survey listing locations of Police Boxes and after all this time it's the return of the dreaded stats!!

In this special episode of the Who's He? Podcast, we take a look back at Matt Smith's time in the Tardis and discuss the impact he had on the show, how he could lift mediocre stories and Paul and Phil each reveal their favourite and least favourite Matt Smith performances. However, it's not just their opinions being aired this episode as we have plenty of listener feedback as well.

And in the news this week, the Symphonic Spectacular returns down under in 2015, a teaser trailer for Deep Breath and because it's the height of summer, Omega's Tat Corner has a festive feel.

In this weeks episode Phil and Paul tackle The Spectre Of Lanyon Moor from Big Finish, released in 2000. What do they make of this 6th Doctor story of ghostly moors, evil Baronets, archaeology, nasty tea ladies and of course the Brigadier!! But be warned, this review is full of spoilers so for those of you who haven't listened to this particular story, enter at your peril!

And in the news this week, Deep Breath to be shown at the cinema, the Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular, Peter Capaldi's interview with the Sunday Times and from the world of cheap merchandise it's news from the San Diego Comic Con and Forbidden Planet in Omega's Tat Corner.

In this weeks show it's part two of the lads commentary for Castrovalva, episodes 3 and 4. Yes, as this was recorded last week, the trio bravely continue in the sweltering London heat, drinking wine and talking nonsense as usual. However, it appears that the heat gets to Phil as he completely misses the point of the Shardovan and becomes attached to a Scotsman.

And in a hastily inserted news section, another series 8 trailer, Philip Morris and the ongoing talk of missing episodes, news on the Deep Breath DVD release in North America, the enormous DVD/Blu-ray 50th Anniversary boxset and the DWAS honour Verity Lambert.

On this weeks edition of the Who's He? Podcast they've gone beige with an audio commentary for episodes 1 and 2 of Castrovalva. During the dissection of this story, they bravely try to bring you facts of the day of original broadcast and make Tony play the guess the ratings game. The lads are also fuelled with wine which causes Phil to make a rather naughty comment!

And in the news, they catch up all the leaks from the BBC, news of a BFI showing of Deep Breath and in Omega's Tat Corner, action figures that seem to get worse the more they make.
