The Doctor Who Podcast

This week a veritable feast of DVD reviewing as Trevor, James and Tom chow down on two classic era DVD releases.  The First Doctor story Planet of Giants and the Third Doctor story The Ambassadors of Death fall under the microscope of the DWP campervan team. Also included this week is a review of one of the more recent Tom Baker Big Finish audios, The Auntie Matter .

It’s another interview special!  This time, we are immensely proud to present an interview with the definitive tin dog himself, Mr John Leeson .  And if that wasn’t enough, we talk to the legend that is Chase Masterson about playing opposite both Tom Baker and Sylvester McCoy in recent Big Finish plays and how her portrayal landed her with her own spin-off series, Vienna . These are just...

Join Leeson and James as they present the final piece of our coverage from Big Blue Box 2, a Doctor Who Convention held in Tunbridge Wells earlier this year.  James hosts the writer’s panel in front of a theatre full of Doctor Who fans and talks to writers Andrew Smith, Simon Guerrier and Nigel Fairs.  How does it feel to have written the first words for a character that was killed off t...

Leeson is back from warmer climes and is in the campervan alongside a decidely pale James to talk about Doctor Who. Being a geek out, there is no script, no plan, and no idea.  The only clue we can give you about what they cover is that it has something to do with Doctor Who. We’ve said too much – just dive in and enjoy.

It is always a fun episode when we delve into the DWP mailbag, and this time is no different. In this episode Michele and Trevor listen to and read out feedback from all over our great planet regarding your thoughts on Series 7B.

On Saturday 1st June, the BBC annouced that Matt Smith is to leave the role of The Doctor in the 2013 Christmas Special.  So after three and half years, we have but two episodes of Doctor Who featuring Matt Smith left.  Join us in the campervan for this special edition of the DWP as Trevor and James assimilate, cogitate and digest the information. Feedback always welcome: send it to us a...

Now the dust has settled with the Name of the Doctor having screened and most (but not all!) of the secrets have been revealed, Ian and Tom push back in a lazy chair and discuss Series 7B as a whole.  Their highlights, their lowlights, what worked, what didn’t, and the magic time travelling properties of coffee. All this and so much more in another episode of THE Doctor Who Podcast.

We are finally here.  The long journey that began way back in September 2012 comes to an end with The Name of the Doctor.  Comes to an end, but also tantalises us with the voyage we have ahead of us in this anniversary. An eager Trevor, James and Tom are in the campervan this time around, all bursting at the seams to share their thoughts on the final story of Series 7. We also want to he...

This episode of the THE Doctor Who Podcast has it all.  Spoiler filled (and appropriately flagged) discussion, potted reviews of the episodes so far, and the return of The Onion Boy, Tom to the hallowed kitchen of the DWP Campervan. A truly wide ranging discussion on all things Who, an episode not to be missed.

It’s not just reimagined Cybermen making a return this week, Ian makes a return to the Campervan too.  Oh, and Stephen, after guesting on last week’s show has made himself comfortable and joins us once again  – the campervan is full this week!  Join the lads for for an ‘upgraded’ DWP as they appraise Neil Gaiman’s second Doctor Who script, Nightma...

It’s another episode of The Doctor Who Podcast and this time, Trevor and James are joind by Stephen Prescott of A Madman With  Box Podcast fame.  Join the lads as they talk about Mark Gatiss’ second script of this year’s run of episodes. What did they make of it?! They also take some time to talk about Doctor Who in the fiftieth anniversary year – just how is the celebr...

In this episode you will be treated to an array of feedback from our wonderful listeners for the stories The Bells of St John, The Rings of Akhaten, Cold War and Hide. Michele and Trevor take you though opinions, theories (kooky or otherwise), discussion and an unhealthy level of usage of the word Akhaten.

This week The DWP bring you a review from the very epicentre of the Campervan – the kitchen.  Joined by their good friend Michael from the Tin Dog Podcast  Trevor and James review Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS.

It’s another interview special!  This time, James was fortunate enough to interview Louise Jameson on stage at the recent Big Blue Box 2 convention held in Tunbridge Wells.  As many of you will know, Louise appeared as Leela in forty episodes of Doctor Who with Tom Baker back in the seventies. Louise was an absolute joy to speak to and fondly reminisced about her time on Doctor...

James and Trevor have the absolute hide this week to bring you their review of the new story Hide. The review was recorded whilst hiding in their newly constructed duck hide, laying on the hides of at least 15 different animals.  This new addition to the Campervan complex is called “The Hideout”, though you will neither hide nor hair of a mention of this on the official drawings....

Two hundred!  Two hundred episodes of THE Doctor Who podcast!  One hundred and ninety-nine episodes since that review of The Eleventh Hour all the way back in 2010! Woo-hoo! How then, should we celebrate such a landmark? What would be appropriate?!  Hmmm.  We at The DWP thought long and hard on this.  There could be so many ways to celebrate this historic occasion and say...

Things get decidedly chilly in the DWP Campervan this week as Trevor, Leeson and James review the latest episode of Doctor Who – Cold War. Yes, it’s the highly anticipated return of the Ice Warriors and our intrepid reviewing team revel in the opportunity to discuss a new Ice Warrior story. To help prepare themselves for this episode, the boys sat in a cramped cupboard together for a week an...

James and Trevor are in the Campervan this week after tuning into watch the latest episode of Doctor Who, The Rings of Akhaten.  They might even try to sing their version of the choral song used throughout the story.  No, don’t worry, they don’t really. Or do they….. So what did the DWP Campervan crew make of this episode?  Innovative storytelling at it best or just plain stra...

In a very special episode of the Doctor Who Podcast, it’s time to take you back to where it all began. In 2009, two men had a dream, create an episode of the DWO WhoCast in which everything was made up, not a single thing was true. They even created a special day on the calendar to release this episode – April 1. The rest, as they say, is history, legend. Stories passed down through th...

It’s back! After what seems like an eternity (but in reality, is actually just three months) Doctor Who is back on our tellyscreens.  Huzzah! Typically, it’s at this time of year that Trev goes walkabout so James and Michele are left to steer the campervan – but are joined by the fabulous Laura (no, not the ood one), a long-term supporter of the show and has has kinda assume...

A big week here in the DWP Campervan here at the compound. Trevor, James and Leeson wrap their heads around the epic new series episode from last Friday night – Remembrance of the Spume.  As we see Season 14 coming to a close the revelations are coming thick and fast, and this story is no exception!  Is there enough in this story to keep long term fans happy and new fans entertaine...

As is customary at the DWP before we launch into a new series of Doctor Who, we have a look at the information we know so far about the upcoming stories and see if we can figure out what they are about. The investigation team of Trevor, James and Ian have scoured the internet, looked under the floorboards and tried a sneaky mind-meld with Stephen Moffat to bring you the good oil on Series 7B. As w...

We return to the deep bountiful well of Big Finish in this episode, with Michele and Trevor reviewing one of the latest trilogies from Big Finish.  Sylvester McCoy as the 7th Doctor takes centre stage in the audios Protect & Survive , Black & White and Gods & Monsters . We also feature the second part of our Seventh Heaven series, in which Stephen Elsden continues his journey thro...

James and Ian were lucky enough to attend the recent Big Blue Box convention at the Trinity Theatre in Tunbridge Wells. Attending were a whole galaxy of Doctor Who stars, including: Dan Starkey (Commander Strax) Toby Hadoke (Stand up comedian and writer/performer of Moths ate my Doctor Who Scarf) Simon Fisher-Becker (Dorium Maldovar) Nick Pegg (Dalek Operator) Andrew Smith (Writer of Full Circle)...

Its been ages since we have talked just news, news and more news on the Doctor Who Podcast.  In this jam packed episode we talk about the latest news in the Doctor Who universe. In this episode James and Trevor talk news.  And more news.  And then once they have talked about that, they talk about some more news. Also James has a chat to Stephen Elsden, organiser of Big Blue Box 2 ,...
