Straight Outta Gallifrey

Remembrance of the Daleks is an excuse to cover Ace.  Ace!  Actually, we are covering this serial, for there is Time Lord Lore in here that is getting augmented, reformed, and celebrated for the Silver anniversary season.  Yes, the Doctor and Ace land in London, November 23, 1963.  And this return to old is not met with rose colored lenses.  Oh no.  A closer look at racial purity, biases, and bigo...

The Rani returns in Time and The Rani.  A regeneration story that ushers in Sylvester McCoy as the 7th incarnation as the Doctor.  Siskoid and Ashford discuss this story, flaws and all.  We both agree that this one deserves a second look.  Anyone that "hate" on this story should revisit the serial.  I mean, c'mon.  Kate O'Mara alone is worth the watch.  The Rani, an amoral, scientist Time Lady, br...

Siskoid and Ashford discuss The Curse of the Fatal Death to recognize the 2nd Anniversary of Straight Outta Gallifrey.   

  The trial continues...this time with a new companion that the Doctor hasn't met yet.  Yes, defending himself in the court of his peers, an independent Time Lord inquiry, the Doctor unwittingly, yet quite characteristically, incriminates himself, if you will, by showing footage where he accidentally commits genocide. Yikes!  Yes, this is one podcast with two serials to discuss!  The Ultimate Foe....

Joe Dredd and Siskoid join Straight Outta Gallifrey to discuss the second chapter of the Trial of a Time Lord series entitled Mind Warp.  Brian Blessed is bombastic, shocker, Colin Baker is taken out of the action, and Peri has faced her demise...Question Mark.   Let us know what you think about Mind Warp by e-mailing us at prydonian.post@gmail.com  or on Twitter @sogallifrey If you would like to...

Mysterious Planet is the first chapter of the Trial of a Time Lord saga.  Robert Holmes is back with his verbal word play, double act routine, and poking fun at the establishment.  Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant are back as the Doctor and Peri.   Siskoid of the Siskoid Blog of Geekery returns to assist Joe Dredd and Ashford on this story of this primitive future, deceit, and courtroom drama.  We al...

Siskoid of the www.fireandwaterpodcast.com  Network and the Siskoid Blog of Geekery joins the Straight Outta Gallifrey podcast to discuss the Two Doctors by Robert Holmes.  Jaime and the Second Doctor return to the legendary show in 1985. The ultra talented Jacqueline Pearce, who Ashford is fawning over for her performance as Servalan in Blake's 7, is featured in the 6th Doctor story, playing a 3...

Kate O' Mara is on Straight Outta Gallifrey.  Well, not technically, but we are covering the Mark of the Rani!  Peri, the return of the Master, Luddites, and The Rani's Awesome TARDIS!  Joe Dredd and Ashford discuss Pip and Jane Baker's first contribution to the Doctor Who mythos.   What is interesting about this serial is that save for the 3 Time Lords, this is an earthbound non-supernatural stor...

  Yes, we are in the 6th Doctor Era!  Colin Baker time...and an opening story to boot!  Siskoid, of the Siskoid Blog of Geekery and the www.fireandwaterpodcast.com , joins us to discuss The Twin Dilemma.   Ashford also discusses the Big Finish audio play, Gallifrey: Enemy Lines.  

Planet of Fire is the introduction of Peri Brown, played by Nicola Bryant.  Yes! And we have to say good-bye to Chameleon and Peter Davison.  Before I place a sad face down, I am quite sure Straight Outta Gallifrey will find a reason to do another 5th Doctor Story.  *wink*  And how could I forget..Turlough is returning to his beginnings, and leaving the TARDIS crew, but for good. You may be thinki...

We discussed the 50th Anniversary on our 50th episode of Doctor Who.  Then we moved into the future to go back and discuss the 20th.  How is that possible?  Because Doctor Who. For this special occasion we have Ruth and Darrin of the RAD Network as well as Tim Wallace over at the Blue Beetle podcast, Beetlemania.   If you would like to donate to the show, please visit www.patreon.com/wrightonnetwo...

Straight Outta Gallifrey is back with episode 52.  King's Demons is what we are covering this time, which means we get Anthony Ainley and Chameleon.  TARDIS team in this one is as follows: The Doctor, of course, Peter Davison that is, Tegan, and Turlough.  The Magna Carter is at stake, and we even get a sword fight to boot!   Please write your opinions about our show to www.prydonian.post@gmail.co...

Mawdryn Undead doesn't necessarily have a Time Lord that is not the Doctor in the serial, but Time Lord tech and mythos are broached, so we thought we'd cover this mind bending, Time Lord stealing, serial.  I enjoyed the show quite a bit, and we get another story with Tegan  Yea!   Contact us at prydonian.post@gmail.com    

  Wow!  Believe it or not, we got to 50, and we got the face we deserved. Jordan the librarian and Diane of the Helena Wayne blog join the podcast to discuss the Day of the Doctor.   e-mail us at prydonian.post@gmail.com Twitter: @sogallifrey Facebook Page: Straight Outta Gallifrey Instagram: sogallifrey     

Caps are " being bust " in this series 20 opener: Arc of Infinity.  Yep, Omega is back, Time Lord fashion is all the rage, and Nissa is not asking twice.  Tegan is finally out of the uniform and into her civvies. Who frowned me this face?  Yep, Colin Baker as Commander Maxil is just awesome.  Will the Doctor be able to prove his innocence and save reality before it is too late?  Of course he can,...

Bookend series with the Anthony Ainley Master returning for the finale we know as Time Flight.  Time Wallace of the Ted Kord Industries Blog and Beetlemania podcast joins Ashford to discuss this episode on the podcast and not the Concord.  *wink*   And in the second segment, we, Joe and Ashford discuss Zagreus.  www.prydonian.post@gmail.com Twitter: @sogallifrey www.wrightonnetwork.com

The moment has been prepared for, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.  Ha.  No, we here at Straight Outta Gallifrey have enjoyed discussing the 4th Doctor's adventures.  Look what we got out of it: A couple of Sarah Jane stories; Romana; Anthony Ainley's Master.  Hey, we even got to talk about K-9.  Not bad!   And don't forget our second segment about the Big Finish Audio play Neverland, whic...

    I trust that you all know the exciting news about Jodie Whitaker playing the Doctor.  Jordan, Ashford, and Diane, who runs the www.helenawaynehuntress.com  site, discuss the wonderful development over at the BBC.   Please continue the discussion with us on twitter @sogallifrey  E-Mail: prydonian.post@gmail.com   website: www.wrightonnetwork.com Like us on Facebook: Straight Outta Gallifrey

Keeper of Traken is a lot of things.  There is a theater type quality to it with the costume and sets.  This is the last serial for a while where there are no Earthling companions.  Of course, this episode had no Romana.   The return of the Master is the most notable highlight in my opinion.  Out the Ashes of the Deadly Assassins, and I do mean Ashes, the Master returns at his most desperate, gras...

Straight Outta Gallifrey is back!  Warriors' Gate is the topic of episode 44.  Unfortunately, this is good bye to Romana, as far as on screen appearances are concerned.  The adventures of Romana will continue to be a topic of discussion with the Big Finish audio plays and beyond.  Lalla Ward and Mary Tamm both deserve praise for breaking such new ground with playing the first returning, mainstay T...

Straight Outta Gallifrey discusses season 18's Full Circle as well as Big Finish's Apocalypse Element, which is a 6th Doctor Story, preluding to events that could set off the Time War.   In Full Circle, it is time for Romana to return to Gallifrey; however, she, K-9, and the Doctor are stuck in E-Space.  This particular serial is an introduction to the companion Adric, who wears a star for his mat...

Welcome to Straight Outta Gallifrey!  Here is the second episode of Series 18, Meglos.  Tom Baker is playing a dual role, Jacqueline Hill has return to play as Lexa. and a Cactus-like villain.  What else could you want in a Doctor Who episode?  Although I wasn't able to extract much from the story pertaining to Romana, the other Time Lord, or Time Lady, I still enjoyed this serial, but I just coul...

  Series 18 of Classic Doctor Who starts off with a new Title Sequence, New Coat, Scarf, but we have the same TARDIS crew: The Doctor, Romana, and K-9, of course.  With this being Tom Baker's last season, we can look at how meta all of t his is, especially with a story like the Leisure Hive, dealing with regeneration and preserving youth.   Get other episodes of Straight Outta Gallifrey and other...
