Into The Time Vortex - A Doctor Who Fan Podcast

Doctor Who - The Faceless Ones is featured in this episode of our Doctor Who review podcast series. The 6 part episode only has 2 existing parts and so they went ahead and animated the entire story, which was released earlier this year. Battling an alien race that can take on the form of people, the Doctor faces a challenge set at Gatwick Airport. We talk in depth on the types of animation the BBC...

In 2019 a complete recreation of the missing episode "Mission to the Unknown" debuted on youtube. The production was handled by the University of Central Lancashire, complete with props and sets copying the original 1 part story that sadly no longer exists. Using screencaps (Tele Snaps)and the existing audio and scripts, the students recreated the story very accurately. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

This 2010 episode is a bit of a break from the frantic action of other episodes. The Doctor (Matt Smith) is stranded on Earth and is investigating weird happenings at a local flat. There he befriends Craig and becomes involved in his 'boring' life. Not boring anymore!

Colin Baker's debut story had everything going for it. Concluding a high quality season which included such stories as Resurrection of the Daleks and The Caves of Androzani, The Twin Dilemma certainly could do no wrong but did. Heralded by many, including a couple of us, as one of the worst Doctor Who episodes of all time, the story has little to praise and so this might be a short episode. Tune i...

Doctor Who continued to impress audiences in 1964 with a 6 part epic journey across the world of Marinus.

Does this story hold up years later? Listen and find out what we think!! Notes Music by PJM25595/Daleki...

In 2005 Doctor Who returned to our screens and this, the third episode featured the Charles Dickens in a tale of ghosts and walking dead.

The Doctor and Clara are robbing a bank but have no memory why. In a clever tale of mystery and deflating heads, "Time Heist" is an enjoyable story we liked.

This time out we talk about the entire "game changing" season 12, well, mostly about "The Timeless Children" but in general, what the season did well and what is screwed up. This is the first part of 2 parts of our discussion. We get critical of the decisions and the direction the show has taken and why 3 companions is too many. Thanks for listening.
