Who's He? Podcast

This week Phil and Paul travel back in time and give their opinions on the next 2009 Special, The Waters Of Mars. Do they think that it still stands up as the classic that it is purported to be or is it another clunker following on from the Planet Of The Dead? All I will say is that for once, they both agree!! Also, the news this week sheds light on how the production of series 7 is coming along,...

The reviewing duo of Phil and Paul press on with the next phase of their retrospective with a look at the first of the 2009 Specials, Planet Of The Dead. This is a most divisive podcast and Paul rather enjoys it and Phil detests it but all this makes Phil wax lyrical about the rich tapestry of the human race but veers dangerously close to one those awful episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation...

Right, they're doing Time And The Rani this time. Ok? They're sorry, really sorry. The boys really suffer during this one, finding not much to be happy about but manage to keep their sanity by comparing the story's characters to long forgotten 80's pop groups, Rainbow and reminsicing about chocolate bars from yesteryear. And in the news this week, more guests confirmed for the Doctor Who Conventio...

Tis the season to be jolly!!  Well, not really to be honest but there is a lot of snow on the ground, so it's a good time for Paul and Phil to have a look back at A Christmas Carol, the 2010 Christmas special.  Fortunately after over a year, they both still really enjoy this festive offering and Phil tries to make connections to M.R. James Christmas ghost stories and The Eagle comic while Paul ins...

After starting this months ago, Phil and Paul finally reach the end of their journey with a look at The Big Bang, the finale of series 5. Paul and Phil can't help themselves and start to pick holes in the plot and characters but don't worry folks, they really do love this episode and both agree that this is probably the best series finale ever. Or EVAH as the youth of today like to spell it. And i...

In their never ending quest to get through series 5, Phil and Paul look back at the penultimate episode of this series, The Pandorica Opens. Will they still enjoy this barnstorming episode or has time taken its toll on these two jaded podcasters? Also, in this weeks news, Matt Smith and Karen Gillan triumph at the National Television Awards, toy and DVD news and the latest update to the official D...

It's audio commentary time again! This week the lads bring you the second part of their commentary for The Invasion parts 5 to 8. This time they run out of steam as Tony was all facted out and Phil resorts to making sexist comments about women of the sixties (and tries to justify it) whilst Paul keeps a dignified silence. Tony also does something that makes Phil swear which results in the use of a...

It's audio commentary time folks! This month the commentary trio of Phil, Paul and Tony tackle the 2nd Doctor story, The Invasion parts 1 to 4. During this audio romp through this classic Patrick Troughton story, the lads discuss such weighty topics as Tobias Vaughn's unhealthy obsession with watching his henchmen on the toilet, Sparky The Magic Piano, action figures of the Queen and Tony's disapp...

After last weeks show, the lads are back in their comfort zone with their continuation of their series 5 retrospective and this week it's the turn of The Lodger. However, not all went according to plan as they were beset by technical problems, which made each other think their connection had dropped which lead to a bit of confusion. But once things got back on track, they rattled through but could...

In a change from the usual programme, the Who's He? team bring you the Who's He? Podcast awards 2011, celebrating the best and worst that Doctor Who and Torchwood had to offer over the last year in a star studded show from the Norwich Theatre Royal (though this may be a lie). The lads apologise in advance for the tongue in cheek approach but unfortunately there are no refunds as they need the mone...

Stuffed full of turkey and Christmas cheer (that means booze), Phil and Paul let rip on this years Doctor Who Christmas special, The Doctor, The Widow And The Wardrobe. Did they like what they saw or were they not that struck on this years festive offering? As well as giving their opinion on the special, they go wildly off tangent and start discussing Doctor Who Confidential (again!!) and also ann...

In their last podcast before Christmas, the Who's He? team delve back into series 5 with a look at Vincent And The Doctor. During their discussion of this episode, Phil and Paul ask should Richard Curtis come back and again for Doctor Who and they also rename the Space Chicken to Space Turkey in light of the festive season. They also give sound advice on what to do with the carcass of a dead giant...

This week, Paul and Phil take a look back at Cold Blood in the continuation of their retrospective of series 5. However, they are a little distracted this week as shortly before recording, official confirmation came through from the the BBC that two long lost episodes of Doctor Who had been rediscovered. And what with the announcement this week of a Doctor Who game for consoles and the PC, Phil wa...

After two weeks of audio commentary, Phil and Paul return to reviewing duties with a look back at The Hungry Earth. However, neither of them can work up much enthusiasm for this story as not a lot really happens apart from some gaping holes in logic. So the result is an underwhelming and rather dull podcast. Sorry folks. But during this weeks news items, Phil makes his own entertainment by convinc...

Yes, it's the second part of the Who's He? audio commentary for The Talons Of Weng-Chiang, episodes 4 to 6. And in this part, comparisions are made between Weng-Chiang and everyones favourite squid from Futurama and Tony sheds light on Weng-Chiangs succsessful recording career post Talons, though Tony had trouble with his vowels. And in the news the final total on the auction of Matt Smiths Doctor...

It's that time of the month!! The Who's He? three are back with an audio commentary for The Talons of Weng-Chiang, episodes 1 to 3. And as last month, Tony gets really excited with his facts but this time runs out of steam after episode 1. As Phil and Paul try desperately to calm him down, they valiantly try to continue with their own version of events. They also go through the news this week that...

The lads continue to plough on with the series 5 retrospective with one of their favourite stories from that series, Amy's Choice. Try as they might, they both felt they were struggling with this one as they both agree that this is still one of the best episodes of series 5 but there was nothing to moan about! And an episode of the Who's He? Podcast just isn't the same without someone whinging abo...

In this weeks episode, the retrospective of series 5 continues with The Vampires Of Venice. While neither Paul nor Phil were particuarly looking forward to re-watching this episode, they were both surprised at how much they actually enjoyed it. However, things wouldn't be the same if they didn't pick holes in something and this week it's perception filters!! Also in a slow news week, the Who's He?...

This week, a sleep deprived Paul and a chipper Phil continue their look back at series 5 with Flesh And Stone. Here they discuss whether this story proves that not all two part stories have weak second parts and whether Amy throwing herself at the Doctor does or does not seem out of place in what is essentially a childrens programme. And with the announcement that a clip of this years Christmas sp...

Now that there is no more new Doctor Who, the lads go back to their series 5 retrospective with The Time Of Angels. Nothing can be found wrong with this story as both Phil and Paul enjoyed revisiting this episode and both wax lyrical as to how great it is. Shame about the news section though. In another slow news week, they start off well with the Matt Smith leaving rumours and then end up shamele...

After a long break it's audio commentary time and that means Tony is back to join Phil and Paul to have a good look at The Five Doctors. This time, Tony was set a challenge to come up with fascinating facts about this story and we'll let you decide whether he rose to the challenge or not. Also during this episode, the lads compare the coffee shop style of the Gallifrey High Council Chambers and th...

In a long edition of the Who's He? Podcast, Phil and Paul take a look back and see what they enjoyed and disliked about series 6 of Doctor Who. There's not many laughs to be had as the two of them take this rather seriously and go through the story arc of River Song as they see it and all the standalone episodes one by one. This was made especially difficult for Paul who has....the lurgi!! Yes, th...

This week the Who's He? team cast their eye over the series finale, The Wedding Of River Song. Amongst the spectacle, do we finally get answers to the questions raised this series? All this is discussed in a rather serious edition of the show along with the sad news of the demise of Doctor Who Confidential this week.

On this edition of the Who's He? Podcast, the reviewing duo take a look at the penultimate episode of series 6, Closing Time. Unfortunately, after a run of cracking episodes, it comes to a halt with this episode which Paul and Phil are very disappointed with. During their discussion about the episode and this weeks news, they talk about pithy subjects such as the press's obsession with Doctor Who'...

This is it folks, the last episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day for Phil and Paul to get their teeth into. And I am sorry to say that while Paul enjoyed this series, Phil is his ususal miserable self when it comes to Torchwood. While Paul has gone through this series with a spring in his step and laugh in his voice, Phil has gone through this series with lead in his boots and anger in his soul. Howev...
