I almost forgot to add this bit It is almost time for you to listen to our review of The Almost People. Almost. All you have to do is read this little show note intro to our episode. You should be able to read either all or most of it. We are now almost half way through the show notes. Unless of course you started downloading the episode before reading the shownotes, which probably means you are a...

It is not often we can bring you something this exciting and exclusive on The Doctor Who Podcast. This episode though is very special as we interview what was possibly the youngest writer ever to write for classic Who – Mr Andrew Smith. At the tender age of 17, Andrew had his story, Full Circle commissioned and turned into the story we know and love today. James had the opportunity to speak...

The DWP Campervan is alive with dopplegangers this week as the combined mental powers of twin James ‘s, Trevs and Toms pass their opinion on The Rebel Flesh.

So it’s time to see what the fans thought of the latest two offerings from Series 6 – Curse of the Black Spot and The Doctor’s Wife. But it was a task that was too difficult for the DWP to tackle so James got together with Steven from the Radio Free Skaro podcast to see if they could work it out. As well as the usual scintilating banter about ratings and AI levels, we listen to a...

Roll up roll up, what is my bid for this lovely bit of merchandise? The Doctor’s wife – only 52.7 trillion miles on her, and doesn’t she look good? Looks like she just stepped out of the showroom!

Sponsored by Jacktar Rum, presumably… nobody is going to get that reference, nobody… Season 6 keeps barrelling along and with a yo ho ho we come to the third episode – Curse of the Black Spot. Trevor, James and Tom discuss the merits and otherwise of this story. We also play some feedback we have already received about this very episode!

I know what I think, but what do you think? It is all very well and good for the fine folk in the DWP Campervan to rabbit on about the episodes, but what do you out there think? Trevor has the campervan all to his own this episode and covers the fan reaction to the first two episodes of the season. And something a little different this episode we eavesdrop on a few fellow podcasters shows to find...

The resolution (or is it?) to many of the perplexing questions raised by the season opener are within Day of the Moon. James and Tom try to make sense of it all and pass judgement on this episode.

Nearly typed “planet” there…. What else would any self-respecting Doctor Who podcast be doing straight after Easter. Why, reviewing The Impossible Astronaut of course! The DWP is no different, and it is with a spring in our step and a thrill coursing our entire bodies that we review the season opener. We also announce the winners of a couple of competitions we have had going over...

With the premiere of Season 6 just around the corner (my gosh it’s exciting, isn’t it?) Tom and James sift through the mountain of rumours, heresay, facts, whispers and information surrounding what we are in for. Needless to say, this episode is crammed with spoilers, both confirmed and unconfirmed. If you are in any way allergic to them, play this episode in about six weeks time. This...

Fresh from their victory and humiliating defeat at the Gallifrey 22 convention, the DWP team decided it was time to pit their wits against each other again, and hence the DWP Quiz 9 was born.

Well, The Aztecs stand even today as one of the most shining examples of Doctor Who. It is a story that fulfils Doctor Who’s original mandate to educate, whilst at the same time it entertains. This story has always been a firm favourite of the DWP, and we devote our episode to talking about it. We also have an interview with one of the cast from, Ian Cullen , who played Ixta.

In this episode we look at a side of Doctor Who that isn’t discussed very much – the partners of devoted Doctor Who fans. Whilst we are all away at conventions, producing podcasts, watching DVDs, knitting scarfs and submitting scripts, just what do our partners do and what do they think of our obsession? We bring in opinions from all over the globe, courtesy of podcasting friends.

We like talking about Big Finish audios here in the DWP Campervan – over the years they have produced some fantastic stories, featuring the vocal talents of the 5th-8th Doctors. We thought it was about time to talk about Big Finish themselves. How have they fared since there beginnings during the Doctor Who “wilderness” years in 1999, through to their triumphant releases today. W...

In what is the DWPs last bit of Gallifrey 22 coverage, we present the epic quiz showdown between the DWP and the Oodcast .

No sooner had the recent Gallifrey 22 convention finished that we heard of the sad passing of Nicholas Courtney, most famous for playing Brigadier Alastair Lethbridge Stewart in the classic series of Doctor Who. Nicholas gave so much to the program whilst playing the Brig that it would be remiss if we did not spend some time looking at the his contribution to Doctor Who. Join us as we reminisce ov...

Whilst James and Trevor were at the Gallifrey convention recently, they challenged the fine folk at the Staggering Stories Podcast to a quiz showdown.

Hosted and presented by quizmaster Chip from the Two-Minute...
