Tim's Take On...

Another trip back to the Star Trek Generations convention in 1995, this week for actor Michael Dorn aka Worf in STTNG and as far as I know the earliest recording of me asking a question to a convention guest.   With TARDIS building currently a bit on hold here’s a recent video I shot about setting up and using my Ring Modular https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQNfVTrOsl4   If you want to send me com...

Our second and final show from the Radio Times Festival back in September features Peter Capaldi, Steven Moffatt and Brian Minchin appolgizes for the audio quality of this which was far from perfect even for those attending.   End Theme: Dr Who(Quacky and Bizarre mix) by Rat Souffle   You can see my photos of the Radio Times Festival here https://www.flickr.com/photos/tdrury/sets/72157659102892021...

A trip back in time this week for the first of two shows covering September’s Radio Times Festival held in London. This week a rare public appearance by Russell T Davies, who generously stayed behind for two hours after this interview and Q&A to meet fans. Apologizes for the audio quality which was far from perfect even for the audience on the day.   End Theme Russell Who by Dancing Rat   You Can...

You get three reviews for the price of one this week, as I get quite excited about the straight to video brit horror Howl, ramble on about Lego dimensions and get rather fan boy like whilst watching Doctor Who: Hell Bent this year’s season finale which brought back the Timelords in style and finally pleased people like me that have been longing for a proper TARDIS interior since the show returned....

Officially the oddest episode in 52 years of Dr Who was Doctor Who: Hell Bent, 55 mins of The Doctor stuck in his own Chronic Hysterisis aka his own private hell a story that literally took him billions of years for him to experience, some people will really hate this one, I loved how brave it was and only the BBC would have allowed Stephen Moffatt to pull this off it was clearly a writing exercis...

It was time to bid farewell to Clara in Doctor Who: Face The Raven, Maisie Williams also made a welcome return though some not me don’t seem to like her acting. Possibly a brave decision to kill off Clara but the character had gone beyond mere risk taker into arrogance and may have been heading for a fall.   End Theme: Dr Who Derbyshire 1980 Closing   The show is now on Facebook please join the gr...

Mark Gatiss’s contribution to Doctor Who this year is rather different, the story Sleep No More is told entirely through found footage which only adds to it’s claustrophobic atmosphere. I myself enjoyed it, but as you’ll hear it’s splitting others opinions.   The show is now on Facebook please join the group for exclusive behind the scenes insights and of course also discuss and feedback on the sh...

A long day of travelling but you’re tired host does his best to review Doctor Who: The Zygon Inversion, oh and stay tuned for an extra treat after this week’s review.   The show is now on Facebook please join the group for exclusive behind the scenes insights and of course also discuss and feedback on the show https://www.facebook.com/groups/187162411486307/   If you want to send me comments or fe...

The Zygons returned to the show this week with Doctor Who: The Zygon Invasion, Peter Harness somehow managed to write an urban thriller inspired by the current terrorist threat but also by cold war paranoia and Invasion of The Body Snatchers, next week’s show will be at least 24 hours late as I’ll be travelling when Dr Who airs but hopefully if everything goes to plan will include not only a revie...

Maisie Williams returned this week in Doctor Who: The Woman Who Lived a Clara lite episode with an interestingly alternative take on a Dr Who companion, also Rufus Hound was on guest star duties and provided a few laughs, second romp in a row I have a feeling the show will take a dark turn next week.   End Theme Doctor Who(Gypsy Guitar) by Thrip   The show is now on Facebook please join the group...

A review with a difference this week as I’m posting this show from the Dimensions convention so you’ll not only hear my views on Doctor Who: The Girl Who died but also a couple of fellow attendees.   End Theme Doctor Who(Gypsy Guitar) by Thrip   The show is now on Facebook please join the group for exclusive behind the scenes insights and of course also discuss and feedback on the show https://www...

The Doctor travels Before The Flood this week and this show travels to it’s 300th episode so there’s some feedback from listeners on that landmark, also this week a review of Doctor Who: City of Death audiobook which I’ve been enjoying recently.   End Theme Doctor Who(Gypsy Guitar) by Thrip   The show is now on Facebook please join the group for exclusive behind the scenes insights and of course a...

A base under siege story from writer Toby Whithouse with the added twist of ghosts and an actor from the later episodes of Whithouse’s BBC Three hit drama Being Human combined to put us on the edge of our seats, my first thoughts review on this thrilling episode with a few additional missives from the Twitterverse.   The show is now on Facebook please join the group for exclusive behind the scenes...

An episode so exciting that I forgot to mention that the Doctor gets to drive Davros’s chair, a return to form this week after a so-so start to the series.   The show is now on Facebook please join the group for exclusive behind the scenes insights and of course also discuss and feedback on the show https://www.facebook.com/groups/187162411486307/   If you want to send me comments or feedback you...

In a highly unusual move the “great” british press actully got a plot leak correct for a change and this episode began with the Doctor meeting Davros as a child, it’s enough to drive a timelord into hiding and Stephen Moffat’s epic opening episode certainly gives his friends a task to find him, Missy is back too thankfully a tad less insane and a smidge more scheming.   The show is now on Facebook...

Just over a week till Doctor Who returns as I type this but just enough time for a taster of this year’s Whooverville convention. As ever Stephen Hatcher and his team put together a fine event, this time with even more dealers than before so I can home with quite a few target books for the shelf. But as ever there was room for podcasters to talk to the guests I was joined by Jean of The Staggering...

The sun was up the sky was blue-ish so what better time of year to have another tour of the city centre locations from the sadly unfinished story Doctor Who: Shada, this time I expanded the tour to include a couple of extra sights Garret hostel Lane Bridge where Skagra confronts the Doctor in episode 2 and a non Shada sight Cambridge’s famous mathematical bridge.   You can see a few photos I took...

On this week’s show I recently returned to Cardiff for the first time in two years, so took the opportunity to track down another Dr Who filming location for Amy and Rory’s house seen in The Power of Three and Pond Life. I also visited the new look Dr Who Experience so you’ll hear my thoughts on that too.   You can see my photos of Cardiff here https://www.flickr.com/photos/tdrury/sets/72157657340...
