Who's He? Podcast

After starting this months ago, Phil and Paul finally reach the end of their journey with a look at The Big Bang, the finale of series 5. Paul and Phil can't help themselves and start to pick holes in the plot and characters but don't worry folks, they really do love this episode and both agree that this is probably the best series finale ever. Or EVAH as the youth of today like to spell it.

And in this weeks news, Doctor Who tat and a fake Matt Smith proposes to his girlfriend. Who wasn't a fake, she's real.

In their never ending quest to get through series 5, Phil and Paul look back at the penultimate episode of this series, The Pandorica Opens. Will they still enjoy this barnstorming episode or has time taken its toll on these two jaded podcasters?

Also, in this weeks news, Matt Smith and Karen Gillan triumph at the National Television Awards, toy and DVD news and the latest update to the official Doctor Who Convention that has got Phil and Paul (and a few others besides) a little perplexed. Just don't send them your milk bottle tops.

It's audio commentary time again! This week the lads bring you the second part of their commentary for The Invasion parts 5 to 8. This time they run out of steam as Tony was all facted out and Phil resorts to making sexist comments about women of the sixties (and tries to justify it) whilst Paul keeps a dignified silence. Tony also does something that makes Phil swear which results in the use of a "beep", the first in the history of this podcast.

It's audio commentary time folks! This month the commentary trio of Phil, Paul and Tony tackle the 2nd Doctor story, The Invasion parts 1 to 4. During this audio romp through this classic Patrick Troughton story, the lads discuss such weighty topics as Tobias Vaughn's unhealthy obsession with watching his henchmen on the toilet, Sparky The Magic Piano, action figures of the Queen and Tony's disappointment at animated skirts blowing in the wind.

All this plus Doctor Who news from the last week where we also discover Tony's seedy private life.

After last weeks show, the lads are back in their comfort zone with their continuation of their series 5 retrospective and this week it's the turn of The Lodger. However, not all went according to plan as they were beset by technical problems, which made each other think their connection had dropped which lead to a bit of confusion. But once things got back on track, they rattled through but couldn't help but keep making comparisions to Closing Time (well, Phil did anyway) and why discovering Matt Smiths comedic talents in this story was a slippery slope for the programme makers.

In a change from the usual programme, the Who's He? team bring you the Who's He? Podcast awards 2011, celebrating the best and worst that Doctor Who and Torchwood had to offer over the last year in a star studded show from the Norwich Theatre Royal (though this may be a lie). The lads apologise in advance for the tongue in cheek approach but unfortunately there are no refunds as they need the money to get out of the country.

Thanks to: Josef Kenny for the Doctor Who theme remix.

Stuffed full of turkey and Christmas cheer (that means booze), Phil and Paul let rip on this years Doctor Who Christmas special, The Doctor, The Widow And The Wardrobe. Did they like what they saw or were they not that struck on this years festive offering? As well as giving their opinion on the special, they go wildly off tangent and start discussing Doctor Who Confidential (again!!) and also announce the next podcast from the Who's He? team.

All this plus the latest news that's now over a week out of date. So that would be the latest olds then.

In their last podcast before Christmas, the Who's He? team delve back into series 5 with a look at Vincent And The Doctor. During their discussion of this episode, Phil and Paul ask should Richard Curtis come back and again for Doctor Who and they also rename the Space Chicken to Space Turkey in light of the festive season. They also give sound advice on what to do with the carcass of a dead giant Space Turkey that can feed an entire village for months.

Also in the news this week, the Ponds are leaving Doctor Who, no two part stories in series 7, more movie rumblings and the first classic Who DVD releases of 2012. And not forgetting a very merry Christmas to all our listeners!

This week, Paul and Phil take a look back at Cold Blood in the continuation of their retrospective of series 5. However, they are a little distracted this week as shortly before recording, official confirmation came through from the the BBC that two long lost episodes of Doctor Who had been rediscovered. And what with the announcement this week of a Doctor Who game for consoles and the PC, Phil was on cloud nine. Pity then that they had to talk about a bit of a damp squib of a Who story afterwards. It ruined the mood somewhat.

After two weeks of audio commentary, Phil and Paul return to reviewing duties with a look back at The Hungry Earth. However, neither of them can work up much enthusiasm for this story as not a lot really happens apart from some gaping holes in logic. So the result is an underwhelming and rather dull podcast. Sorry folks.

But during this weeks news items, Phil makes his own entertainment by convincing Paul that he's always wanted to keep fish in a Doctor Who themed aquarium.

We also have to apologise for the sound quality in the news section as Phil had his micrphone on the wrong setting. The berk.
