Who's He? Podcast

In this the 200th edition of the Who's He? Podcast, Phil and Paul have selected a suitable Target book to review in the shape of The Five Doctors. As usual they make comparisions between the book and the televised version and try to ascertain what differences there are in this story from the pen of Terrance Dicks. Also, does anything make the book better than the broadcast story? But I'll let you...

In this weeks show, Phil, Paul and Tony continue with their commentary for The Gunfighters with episodes 3 & 4. And yet again they struggle to get through another 2 episodes of barely concealed English accents but they do bring you facts from the day of the original broadcast to liven things up and stop themselves dying from boredom. And in a replacement for the news, Phil and Paul take the opport...

It's the Who's He? Podcasts 4th birthday and what better than a commentary to celebrate! Yes, Phil, Paul and a returning Tony plough through episodes 1 & 2 of The Gunfighters, that well regarded William Hartnell classic from 1966. Well I say well regarded as the brave trio manfully struggle with phoney American accents and try to bring you facts from the day of the original broadcast. In fact, the...

In this weeks show, Phil and Paul look at Omega from Big Finish. This story was the first in a trilogy to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Doctor Who in 2003 and this tale featuring the 5th Doctor saw him going up against his old nemesis, Omega. But how does this hold up today? Well, if their reaction is anything to go by, not very well! And Phil is let down by Caroline Munro which makes him sad....

It's book review time once again on the Who's He? Podcast and this time they look at their first 7th Doctor novelisation with Battlefield. But oh dear, what is this? Phil starts off grumpy and sees fit to pick holes in the story? And Paul does too? And they can't help themselves with poking fun at the TV version as well? Will they change their tune before the end of the review? Listen to find out!...

Fresh from the Gallifrey One convention, the Who's He? Podcast come back down to earth with a bump as they continue their series 2 retrospective with The Girl In The Fireplace.

Not much really but it does lead Phil and Paul onto a discussion about whether Steven Moffat being the head writer, E...

It's the final day of the Gallifrey One convention in Los Angeles and Phil files his final report on events. In an episode that features tears and Phil's terrible hearing, he leaves you all with gushing but hopefully rousing reasons why you should attend this most fantastic of conventions.

However, do you remember yesterday when he said he would try to interview some cosplayers?

In this edition of the Who's He? Podcast, Phil quickly charts his first day of the Gallifrey One convention in Los Angeles (ooh, get him!), where he blathers on about the panels he attended and the cosplaying situation. Mind you, please be aware that this is just Phil talking on his own with no backup from anyone. It's like the podcast has done an unplugged session and by the end of this, you'll w...

In a special edition of the Who's He? Podcast, Phil chats to comedian, artist and cartoonist Robbie Bonham about the Peter Cushing Dalek movies, Doctor Who And The Daleks and Dalek Invasion Earth 2150AD. But along the way, Robbie tells Phil how he first got into Doctor Who, the wonders of VHS tapes, Amicus films and how dresssing up as the Doctor in public is a difficult look to pull off. If you w...

It's time for another Target book review and this time Phil and Paul have chosen Destiny Of The Daleks written by Terrance Dicks. Phil is not such a fan of this story, so his judgement is already quite clouded, while Paul tries to find the good story lurking beneath. While this book is the fastest release Target made after a story's transmission (and it shows!), the shabby nature of the TV serial...

In this week episode, the Who's He? Podcast look at another Big Finish title The Auntie Matter starring Tom Baker and Mary Tamm. In this tale of chinless wonders, maiden Aunts and apologetic murderous robot butlers, Phil and Paul lament the fact this is the first ever story that they have reviewed that features Mary Tamm and can't believe why they haven't featured her so far and they discuss wheth...

This week Phil and Paul finally return to their series 2 retrospective with the beloved School Reunion written by Toby Whithouse.  And what a story to return to! Sarah Jane Smith and K9 make their return to the Whoniverse in a tale of old friends and tasty chips. Other topics crop up along the way with reasons why Anthony Head should have been made the Master, Rose at her most possessive and spark...

It's the last podcast of 2014 and what else what Phil and Paul review but Last Christmas, this years Doctor Who Christmas special!! So do they make of this years festive offering? Well, they make the case for Shona McCullough to not be the next companion in the Tardis and Phil is not too sure whether the subect matter is suitable for a Christmas special and Paul, still recovering in his sick bed,...

Yes, it's the Who's He? Podcast Christmas Special and once again they look back at a Doctor Who Christmas Special of the past and this year it's the turn of The Runaway Bride.  And joining Phil this time is Martyn Havell from the Bad Wilf Podcast who fills in for an absent Paul.  So how kindly has time treated this story of giant spiders, jilted brides, robot Santa's and Tardis car chases?  Is it...

In this weeks episode of the Who's He? Podcast, Phil and Paul return to the audio stories of Big Finish with a look at the 7th Doctor story Thin Ice, the first in the Lost Stories series.

In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast we celebrate the 51st anniversary of Doctor Who as the BBC couldn't be bothered.

In this weeks episode of the Who's He? Podcast, Phil and Paul take a look back over series 8 of Doctor Who (not series 7 as Phil stated last week!) and deliver their opinion of the series as a whole. And for once they try and have some semblance of structure to the critique but this soon goes out of the window while talking about hot topics such as plot threads that went nowhere, the real plot arc...

It's the finale of series 8 with Death In Heaven by Steven Moffat. And did this finale deliver the goods and did Moffat keep his fairly good track record and deliver another quality series finish? Well, Phil and Paul really can't make their minds up in what proves to be a very argumentative episode. Yes, Phil and Paul seem quite content to contradict one another all through this and as usual Phil...

Dark Water, the penultimate episode of this series of Doctor Who. And this story has yet again caused fandom to to start infighting with perceived obvious plot developments and gender swapping being at the heart of all the complaints. But what of Phil and Paul? Are they also divided on their opinion? Do they agree with the complaints being levelled at this story? Listen to find out! And in the new...

In this weeks episode of the Who's He? Podcast, Phil and Paul take a look at In The Forest Of The Night, the latest and what seems to be the most poorly recieved episode in this series of Doctor Who. But what do the lads think of this one? Well to give you an idea, Phil comes up with a zombie attack ending, Paul casts a critical eye over the late night scheduling of Doctor Who - Extra and they bot...

On this weeks editiion of the Who's He? Podcast, Phil and Paul take a look at Flatline, episode 9 of this series of Doctor Who. Does this second story penned by Jamie Mathieson live up to the majesty of his first story Mummy On The Orient Express or does this episode live up to its title and flatline? During the discussion, Phil references a film that Paul hasn't seen and also a Playstation game t...

The Who's He? Podcast plough on with their review of series 8 of Doctor Who and this week it's the turn of Mummy On The Orient Express. After last weeks episode that divided fandom, is this a story that finds fandom reunited and more importantly do Phil and Paul show a united front also? Will Phil rant like he did last week or is it Paul's turn? One thing is for sure, they have longer than 66 seco...

Kill The Moon, the most divisive of episodes this series so far! Fans either love or hate this Marmite flavoured episode but what about the Who's He? Podcast? Well, they certainly don't sit on the fence and are quite clear on what they thought but after a very long time, Phil lets rip with a rant that will most likely lose this podcast listeners!  But they discuss the things that have divided opin...

This week and with some trepidation, the Who's He? Podcast reviewing duo take a look at The Caretaker, episode 6 of series 8 of Doctor Who. But why the trepidation? Well, Phil is not exactly Gareth Roberts biggest fan, so his usually well balanced (ahem) critique is under scrutiny, while Paul is much more reserved and ponders over the plot and wonders whether the alien of the week needed to be the...
