Article 7 is up! So, if you would like to listen to my sexy “I have a cold” voice while Scott and I discuss Vampires of Venice, be sure to start that download.
Incidentally, we have already recorded the next one, so hopefully it won’t be too long before that one is up, too. I hope that the USA-based folks enjoy the last episode of the series this Saturday. (Unless you are at Comic Con. Then…enjoy the episode, but I’m not talking to you right now. Except for Ken who is bringing me back a t-shirt. Yes. I am bribe-able it seems.)
We haven’t really gotten any feedback so far (though the computer stats tell me that folks are downloading the podcasts), so if you have a polite word or two for us, feel free to comment. We are also accepting squees and expressions of devotion at this time.
The first part of this video is a Doctor Who skit that was filmed for the show French and Saunders on 25 January 1987. It features George Layton as The Doctor, and French and Saunders as Silurian guards. It was never transmitted, according to the notes on the video, but it apparently appears as one of the extras packaged with The Curse of Fatal Death spoof written by none other than a certain Steven Moffat. Perhaps you’ve heard of him? Now, if only we could get Dawn French or Jennifer Saunders to play a part on Doctor Who. I bet they’d love it. They’ve made several references to the show in stuff they’ve done over the years after all. Just one thing, though. Do those “pods” in this video look a bit phallic to anyone else? No? Oh. Just me then.
After the French and Saunders skit is a another Doctor Who spoof from Victoria Wood As Seen on TV. This skit was transmitted in 1987, and according to the notes on the video, Jim Broadbent plays The Doctor. If you include his turn as The Doctor in The Curse of Fatal Death, he has played the part in at least two instances. Unfortunately for him, he seems to encounter rather unhelpful energy in both cases. Poor fellow. This spoof is also one of the extras packaged with The Curse of Fatal Death. I really need to get a copy of that DVD.
* Very spoilery photos from the the end of this season of Doctor Who may be found here. (And very nice ones they are, too.)
* This bit of art over at deviantART is so very much made of Win. SciFi and Superheroes of the 70s. To me it looks like there is way more Who than any other show shown.
*More spoilers! This time about this year’s Christmas special.
…And we finally have Article 6 up and ready to go. *Whew* I would like to blame the Weeping Angels for the delay if I may. After all, we covered their two-parter this time. This may be why the podcast is slightly over one hour in length.
In any case, as usual please let us know what you think. For those of you in the UK who have already seen the end…no spoilers, please.
That’s right, start gathering your pennies, according to this link, The 9th Doctor’s TARDIS is going to be auctioned. There is also going to be a Dalek from the’60s and a cyberman helmet.
* Article 6 is going to be a bit late. Sorry, all. I didn’t manage to get it finished before I have to leave on vacation. But to keep you all entertained, here are a few things…
…And we’re on to Article 5! Sorry that it took so long, but it is here at last. In this podcast we discuss Season 5, episode 3 – Victory of the Daleks. I would just like to note here a little something that we didn’t cover in the podcast. Did y’all notice that the Doctor told Winston that the Daleks should be “Exterminated”?
