Who's He? Podcast

Yes, it's the second part of the Who's He? audio commentary for The Talons Of Weng-Chiang, episodes 4 to 6. And in this part, comparisions are made between Weng-Chiang and everyones favourite squid from Futurama and Tony sheds light on Weng-Chiangs succsessful recording career post Talons, though Tony had trouble with his vowels.

And in the news the final total on the auction of Matt Smiths Doctor Who costume for Children In Need and the continuing saga of the planned Doctor Who movie. Also, Phil and Paul try to justify why they are going to next years Doctor Who convention when most Who podcasters are staying away.

It's that time of the month!! The Who's He? three are back with an audio commentary for The Talons of Weng-Chiang, episodes 1 to 3. And as last month, Tony gets really excited with his facts but this time runs out of steam after episode 1. As Phil and Paul try desperately to calm him down, they valiantly try to continue with their own version of events.

They also go through the news this week that a Doctor Who film is in the offing and also announce that the Who's He? Podcast will be attending the official convention next year and talk about the trailer for the Christmas special. And Tony gets to hear Let's Save Confidential by No Touch Pod which fair takes his breath away.

The lads continue to plough on with the series 5 retrospective with one of their favourite stories from that series, Amy's Choice. Try as they might, they both felt they were struggling with this one as they both agree that this is still one of the best episodes of series 5 but there was nothing to moan about! And an episode of the Who's He? Podcast just isn't the same without someone whinging about something.

Oh I forgot, they whinged about one of this weeks news items, which is the announcement of an official BBC Doctor Who Convention next year which is going to cost the punters £99 per ticket! Still, aside from that, they'll see you there!

In this weeks episode, the retrospective of series 5 continues with The Vampires Of Venice. While neither Paul nor Phil were particuarly looking forward to re-watching this episode, they were both surprised at how much they actually enjoyed it. However, things wouldn't be the same if they didn't pick holes in something and this week it's perception filters!!

Also in a slow news week, the Who's He? Podcast news desk brings you Doctor Who Christmas decorations and the news of The Gunpowder Plot adventure game that Paul couldn't care less about. Things also go off on a tangent as usual by the end of the show and Phil admits to knowing a man in a rubber suit.

This week, a sleep deprived Paul and a chipper Phil continue their look back at series 5 with Flesh And Stone. Here they discuss whether this story proves that not all two part stories have weak second parts and whether Amy throwing herself at the Doctor does or does not seem out of place in what is essentially a childrens programme. And with the announcement that a clip of this years Christmas special will be on this years Children In Need, Phil wonders why we have to sit through hours of dancing newsreaders to see a couple of minutes of Who? Let's get this straight though, Children In Need is a worthy cause. Phil just doesn't like dancing newsreaders.

Now that there is no more new Doctor Who, the lads go back to their series 5 retrospective with The Time Of Angels. Nothing can be found wrong with this story as both Phil and Paul enjoyed revisiting this episode and both wax lyrical as to how great it is. Shame about the news section though. In another slow news week, they start off well with the Matt Smith leaving rumours and then end up shamelessly padding things out by talking about Jon Pertwee whilst on a trip down Doctor Who memory lane. All together now, "Memories....like the corners of my mind...."

After a long break it's audio commentary time and that means Tony is back to join Phil and Paul to have a good look at The Five Doctors. This time, Tony was set a challenge to come up with fascinating facts about this story and we'll let you decide whether he rose to the challenge or not. Also during this episode, the lads compare the coffee shop style of the Gallifrey High Council Chambers and the Club Tropicana look of the Tardis, the changes in depth of vision on Gallifrey and in a news section that is struggling for content, Drashig glove puppets and the merits of The Good Life underpants!

In a long edition of the Who's He? Podcast, Phil and Paul take a look back and see what they enjoyed and disliked about series 6 of Doctor Who. There's not many laughs to be had as the two of them take this rather seriously and go through the story arc of River Song as they see it and all the standalone episodes one by one. This was made especially difficult for Paul who has....the lurgi!! Yes, this show is unclean and riddled with germs but Paul managed to hold it together and not cough his lungs up and croak it live on air. Though that would have been a podcast first.

This week the Who's He? team cast their eye over the series finale, The Wedding Of River Song. Amongst the spectacle, do we finally get answers to the questions raised this series? All this is discussed in a rather serious edition of the show along with the sad news of the demise of Doctor Who Confidential this week.

On this edition of the Who's He? Podcast, the reviewing duo take a look at the penultimate episode of series 6, Closing Time. Unfortunately, after a run of cracking episodes, it comes to a halt with this episode which Paul and Phil are very disappointed with. During their discussion about the episode and this weeks news, they talk about pithy subjects such as the press's obsession with Doctor Who's viewing figures and cyber suits for the larger gentleman. However, they are both looking forward to the series finale, which Phil forgets the name of.
