Strangers in Space
Broader and deeper than Doctor Who...Back in the early months of 2012 we started life as the Blue Box Podcast, a small team of three (then four, then five...) people podcasting our thoughts on Doctor Who, in the classic style of a bunch of friends the microphones were just accidentally eavesdropping on during a conversation in the pub.

There had already been three adaptations of Jack Finney's The Body Snatchers by the time Disney's Hollywood Pictures went back to the source, and produced a version of Robert Heinlein's original alien parasite novel The Puppet Masters.

The quotes coming out of Edinburgh this week might have made it feel like we're stuck in 1989 all over again (or is that 1985?), but this is a different century now - so what did we make of the idea that the TARDIS is "going nowhere"? Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold and Matt Barber

In this edition we're pairing up a couple of very different but equally unlikely vampires; firstly there's David Niven's urbane and terribly British Count Dracula, and then Alicia Silverstone in an undead rematch with Amy Heckerling, her director on Clueless.

Film Club Lite 81: Mimic (1997) 13.08.2025 31:38
After making a splash in his native Mexico with Cronos, Hollywood invited Guillermo del Toro to come and helm another in its cycle of mid-90s monster movies. The result was Mimic, but what do we think of it now? Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold, Simon Brett and Steve Hatcher
Who Review Extra 51: Human Nature 11.08.2025 46:11

Film Club Extra: The Fantastic Four: First Steps 28.07.2025 56:01

Film Club Lite 79: The Faculty (1998) 21.07.2025 40:58

Who Review Extra 50: Victory of the Daleks 14.07.2025 42:01
It was the Daleks' first appearance in Steven Moffat's Doctor Who and the first time Matt Smith's Doctor had come face to face with them - and it was very much Amy's first time too - but Victory of the Daleks has always divided opinions.
