Happy Times and Places 60.4 - Horror of Fang Rock 4
"Aye though we hunted high and low, and hunted everywhere..." It's a pretty grim conclusion to this lighthouse saga, but there is still plenty opt enjoy. Will guest Martin Geraghty and host Toby Hadoke, who have been pretty much on the same
Happy Times and Places 60.3 - Horror of Fang Rock 3
Ooh host Toby Hadoke has really enjoyed this one. The bodies start piling up and the story gets a bit like The Thing (having already got a bit like The Fog) and the characters are all getting their moments to shine. And surely, surely, ther
Happy Times and Places 60.2 - Horror of Fang Rock 2
Things are getting foggier outside the lighthouse, and inside its getting busier and testier and, in places, funnier. Tom Baker is at the height of his powers, even if he hates the director and is being mean to his co-star, whilst the write
Happy Times and Places 60.1 - Horror of Fang Rock 1
It's oil verses electricity, man verses beast, Tom Baker verses the director. Quite a few battlegrounds then, yet each provokes great creativity using the simplest of ingredients - an isolated setting, a small cast, an angry leading man. An
Indefinable Magic (Bonus Episode) - Time and Race (Part Two)
The second part of a chat with Professor Tom Attah about race and representation in Doctor Who. Amiable, well-informed, and interesting is what is being aimed for. A good faith conversation which hopefully isn't afraid to explore some of th
HappyTimes and Places OMNIBUS - The Power of Kroll
Omnibus time again, this time with poor old The Power of Kroll, a rather unloved entry into the Tom Baker canon, and indeed the Robert Holmes one. There's thunder (and that's not just the expression on Philip Madoc's face), lightning, and n
Happy Times and Places 59.6 - Fury from the Deep 6
So it's goodbye to Victoria, but not before there's a loop-de-loop and a screaming fit, and time for quite a long supper and a protracted farewell. Oh it's a uniquely paced story is Fury from the Deep. Will Jess choose the same things as yo
HappyTimes and Places 59.5 - Fury from the Deep 5
So it's adios Oak and sayonara Quill - but hello helicopter - as the story picks up a pace (and the music too) as it bubbles to its climax. Have Megan and Robson got a dirty secret? Was this story as good as legend occasionally says it was?
Happy Times and Places 59.4 - Fury from the Deep 4
Maggie's beneath the sea, van Lutyens is going down the impeller, and Victoria has gone under ... things need to look up! So the Doctor is grateful for the arrival of Megan Jones from Gavin and Stacy, but what has put a smile on Jess Jurkov
Happy Times and Places 59.3 - Fury from the Deep 3
A very short episode of Doctor Who doesn't get very short shrift because it's got a lot of things in it that are loved by your host, Toby Hadoke. So, you know, we don't want it to get in the sea... like some poor sod has to at the end of th
Happy Times and Places 59.2 - Fury from the Deep 2
"It is down there ... in the darkness... waiting." And while it waits, host Toby Hadoke has to guess what brilliant musician and You Tube maestro Jess Jurkovic likes about this missing Troughton classic, long held up as one of the scariest
Happy Times and Places 59.1 - Fury from the Deep 1
This is a very special story for your host Toby Hadoke so he is delighted the marvellous musician Jess Jurkovic (for goodness' sake follow him on Twitter and go to his You Tube) has chosen it, the first HT&P to come from Troughton's Season
Happy times and Places OMNIBUS - Bad Wolf/Parting of the Ways
The ever-delightful Jenny@bluebox99 has chosen an epic and important story. Think back to when Russell T Davies had brought back Doctor Who and everything was talking about it, we had a new Doctor to get excited about, and we only had a few
Indefinable Magic (Bonus Episode) - Race and Time (Part One)
A (hopefully) nuanced and insightful conversation about race and representation in Doctor Who, with special guest contributor Professor Tom Attah. A change from the usual monologue, for obvious reasons, but something that looks to provide o
Happy Times and Places 58.6 - Planet of the Spiders 6
It's the end of an era, as tall lightbulb Jon Pertwee glitters for the last time. Your host is all discombobulated by an unexpected move from illustrious guest Annie Wallace last time, so his choice of favourite thing will be slightly compr
Happy Times and Places 58.5 - Planet of the Spiders 5
The penultimate on Pertwee episode in a story that has - appropriately - been born anew in the eye ion your host Toby Hadoke thanks to this cleansing rewatch and the positive counsel of Hollyoaks star Annie Wallace. So brush away those cobw
Happy Times and Places 58.4 - Planet of the Spiders 4
Well now, this is where the story presents some of its most interesting material, but also where the production starts to go a bit wayward. So there's much to admire but a fair amount to lament - but as you know, host Toby Hadoke and specia
Happy Times and Places 58.3 - Planet of the Spiders 3
And so finally we get to the planet Metebilis III, the eponymous Planet of the Spiders. It's never going to be Planet of the Oscars though, but can host Toby Hadoke continue to be positive about this story, or is the air about to turn blue.
Happy Times and Places 58.2 - Planet of the Spiders 2
Yes, it's this one, the one with the chase. Not everyone loves the chase. But then again, not everyone loves The Chase and we had a ball with that on Happy Times and Places. So jump aboard whatever crazy vehicle you like and see if you can
Happy times and Places 58.1 - Planet of the Spiders 1
Another Pertwee! This is so much fun, because host Toby has always been a bit hard on the Pertwee era, perhaps the one that looked most disappointing compared to the images conjured by those Target novels, and only recently has he learned t
Happy Times and Places 57.1 - The Haunting of Villa Diodati
Well this is a first! The only Jodie Whittaker/Chris Chibnall adventure to thus far be given the Happy Times... treatment, and it's one set in a haunted house at the birth of a literary classic. Host Toby Hadoke is nervous about this: not a
Happy Times and Places OMNIBUS - The Curse of Peladon
A genuine Doctor Who writer is the special guest for this omnibus edition, and it's off to Peladon for a story that you host Toby Hadoke first saw in a sort of omnibus form : merged into two 50 minute episodes as part of the Doctor Who and
Indefinable Magic 22 - They Can’t Get Up The Stairs You Know
Monologues about Doctor Who: not too serious or heavy, but something to be entertained by (hopefully) and to muse on (hopefully)... This episode is examination of disability representation in Doctor Who, hopefully done with some insight and
Happy Times and Places OMNIBUS - The Daleks’ Masterplan 7-12
The second part of this epic trek was originally released back in July/August 2022 which was when its guest contributor, Ian McLachlan, sadly passed away aged 68. He is such a valuable contributor and really helped to make the difficult tas
Too Much Information 4.5 - Rider from Shang-Tu
A new character enters proceedings, played by an actor we knew nothing about ... until now. But Ling Tau, the eponymous emissary from Kublai Khan, isn't the only person with a story to tell. William Russell's agent needs reassuring and a sc
Happy Times and Places OMNIBUS - The Daleks Masterplan 1-6
This was a daunting task but turned out to be one of the most rewarding to do and - if your feedback is anything to go by - one of the most enjoyable listens as well. Its assets are in no small part to the special guest, Ian K McLachlan, wh
Happy Times and Places 56.2 - Attack of the Cybermen 2
It's very much a game of two halves this story - cashing in gritty urban film work in order to collect chilly tombs and finger twiddling moustache ladies from space. Fortunately, academic and writer Robin Bunce is on hand to celebrate and c
Happy Times and Places OMNIBUS - The Macra Terror
"There is no such thing as The Macra Terror Omnibus..." etc. Michael Dennis is an excellent guest on this attempt to capture The Macra Terror's best attributes in some sort of pincer movement using him and hoist Toby Hadoke.
Happy Times and Places 56.1 - Attack of the Cybermen 1
Robin Bunce, academic and Doctor Who scholar, whose father Roger was also a cameraman who worked with most of the classic Doctors, chooses a rare Colin Baker entry into this series. Fancy some time travel in an organ with some gritty Euston
Happy Times and Places 55.7 - Marco Polo 7
They made it! 7 episodes, no moving pictures, no monsters, and not a lot of pre-knowledge. But an expert guide, some fabulous insight, and much to enjoy means that this epic lost classic has been a most rewarding experience. The chances are
