The Doctor Who Podcast

During the London Riots earlier in the year, our very own James tried to find a quiet table and sit down with Simon Guerrier , a name that you might not all be familiar with but one that has been cropping up in the world of Doctor Who for many years now. Simon has written for Big Finish for the Fifth and Seventh Doctors. Contributed stories to the Short Trips range. He has written original novels...

Time to delve into the wonderful universe of Big Finish at the Doctor Who Podcast. The latest fifth Doctor trilogy of Heroes of Sontar , Kiss of Death and Rat Trap make their way across the DWP Campervan kitchen bench for us to slice, dice and boil down to its constituent parts. We also announce another competition in which you can win some major prizes. We meant to announce this competition last...

This episode is all about the reviews, as the DWP Campervan rips off the shrinkwrap from a couple of Doctor Who DVDs and Big Finish audios. On the DVD front, Day of the Daleks and Paradise Towers are reviewed by Trevor, Tom and James . And making their first appearance inside the DWP Campervan, DWP forum moderators Ian and Michelle review the Big Finish audio Find and Replace .

It has been a while since we have done one of these things, but The Doctor Who Podcast quiz is back! Tom is quizmaster to a nervous Trevor and James , who are being assaulted under the barrage of ten exquisitely chosen questions courtesy, in part, from our wonderful listeners.

The DWP like nothing better than a good ‘ole geek out – a chance to let our hair down, sit back with a warm, or indeed cold beverage, and talk about whatever pops into our heads. And that is exactly what we do in this episode. Unburdened by the shackles of BBC programming, Trevor and Tom geek out about a whole manner of things, far too lengthy to list here. We also play an interview th...

Season 6 is over, the Doctor lives and Amy and Rory are reunited with their daughter and live happily ever after.  What now? We have received a lot of feedback for the last few stories of Series 6 which we just haven’t had the chance to play on the show. In this episode we attempt to rectify that. We present to you a double length episode with feedback, spirited discussions, arguments,...

They say good things come to those who wait, and we thank you for waiting patiently for this latest episode of what is simply the finest Doctor Who podcast in existence. In this episode all three hosts review the season finale – The Wedding of River Song. We also have a bit of a chat about the recent axing of Doctor Who Confidential. Get your feedback about Series 6 in now, we want to know w...

Closing Time brings us to the penultimate episode for Seres 6 of Doctor Who, and it falls to Trevor and Tom to discuss and share their thoughts on this story. Not content with talking about the episode, they ended up talking about all manner of things other than the story itself! Rest assured there are no spoilers for non-screened episodes, so please enjoy!

With James and Tom abandoning Trevor this week some extra special help was called upon to review The God Complex . Chip from the Two Minute Timelord podcast answered the call to action and joins Trevor in the campervan for the review. We also play your feedback from the last couple of stories.

With a title like The Girl Who Waited, it wasn’t hard to figure out who this episode would focus on. Doctor Who presents us with another standalone episode, which Trevor, James and Tom share their thoughts on this week. We also announce details of an exciting competition!

Whooverville 3 recently took place on Saturday 3rd September 2011 and The Doctor Who Podcast was there! As where a lot of other podcasts, as part of the Doctor Who Podcast Alliance representation at the event. Our James , along with Michael from the Tin Dog Podcast and Luke from the Minute Doctor Who Podcast were lucky enough to interview 80s Who Girl herself, Nicola Bryant . Enjoy this very inter...

After checking the front door to make it was locked, leaving a light on and having the phone handy we settled down to watch Night Terrors, a creepy entry into the Season 6 lineup. All three DWP hosts are in the campervan this week – Trevor, James and Tom.  Hear what they have to say about this story.

Possibly the most misleading title in the history of Doctor Who (right up there with The Doctor’s Daughter, The Doctor’s Wife and The Happiness Patrol) Let’s Kill Hitler marks the return of Doctor Who to our screens for the second time in 2011. James and Tom review this most interesting episode. We also draw the winner of our competition from Episode 95 . Your feedback, as always...

Trevor and James are in prediction mode this episode and we take a look at the rumour, speculation and tasty titbits about the return of Doctor Who this coming weekend. Warning to all listeners – we discuss what we have learnt about Series 6B, some is fact, some is rumour.  But if you don’t want to be spoiled then we suggest you join us next week. Torchwood episode 5 and 6 are rev...

A quick glance at the Wikipedia entry for Joe Lidster will show that he knows his Doctor Who and related spinoffs. He has written for Big Finish, Torchwood and Sarah Jane Adventures, as well as the Bernice Summerfield ranges. When he isn’t writing for them he is producing short stories on, you guessed it, Doctor Who. This incredibly talented and busy man sat down with our James recently to t...

Our second episode for this week concludes the DWPs look at our favourite Doctor Who stories from each era of the show. This episode starts with the umbrella carrying, question mark wearing 7th Doctor Sylvester McCoy, and finishes of course with the stetson sporting, custard loving 11th Doctor, Matt Smith. We also review the latest episode of new Torchwood, episode 4.

In response to requests from many of our listeners the DWP presents the first part of our two-part nostalgia trip through the DWP hosts favourite Doctor Who stories.

James and Trevor are in review mode this week as they tackle a recent box set from those bods at 2Entertain. The Mara Tales set, comprising the stories Kinda and Snakedance from the Peter Davison era have been released in a shiny cardboard case.  James has already laid his cards on the table numerous times in professing his love for these two snakey stories, but what does Trev think? We also...

Quite a packed episode this week, a mixture of reviews and some cracking interviews, bringing to a close the second of our special Big Finish related episodes. James and Trevor review the first two stories from Big Finish’s range of 7th Doctor “lost” stories – Thin Ice and Crime of the Century. These two stories were to kickstart the proposed Season 27 in 1990, before the a...

We also review a book by author Alwyn W Turner , The Man Wh...

Tom is all alone in the campervan this week so he dug into the mailbag to see what you have been sending our way regarding Series 6 Doctor Who. And you have been very busy! Thanks so much for all your thoughts and comments. Tom attempts to make a sizeable hole in the mountain of envelopes and emails as we listen to what our listeners thought of the second year of Matt Smith and Co.

Well, the good man has gone off to war (or has he), and has left the DWP Campervan at a sligthly loose end about just what to do for the next few months until he returns. Luckily Chip from the Two Minute Timelord Podcast has some ideas on what we can occupy ourselves with, and in this episode he gets together with our Tom to provide some much needed analysis to what we have seen so far this year....
