Happy Times and Places 48.5 - The Dominators 5
We add a bomb to the bickering in part five of The Dominators, and muse at what might have been had this had the planned sixth instalment. Full Circle writer Andrew Smith has been a terrific guest - will the positives be shared between host
Happy Times and Places 48.4 - The Dominators 4
Well there's plenty of fun to be had here if your like exploding buildings and the destruction of cute robots. And two men arguing a lot whilst trying to remain dignified under big shoulder pads and tassled limbs. The Doctor is trying to sa
Too Much Information 4.2 - The Singing Sands
There's a problem en route to Kublai Khan's palace both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. There's a sandstorm to negotiate in Studio D, but a key cast member falls in requiring a hasty change in direction. But they're a doughty
Indefinable Magic 20 - Defining The Magic
These Indefinable Magic monologues are usually the result of writing, re-writing, recording, retaking, re-jigging and finally assembling. That's why they take a long time. However, something was needed for Doctor Who's birthday and this is
Happy Times and Place 48.3 - The Dominators 3
The TARDIS crew are on another planet but they aren't having much of a chance to play away as the council of Dulkis seem unable to defend themselves against the might of two men with very large shoulder pads and some squeaky robots who can
Happy Times and Places 48.2 - The Dominators 2
So there's a pair of giant turtle men and their pet malevolent box-children sucking up the radiation from a planet inhabited by peaceful men dressed in ballgowns. What's not to love? Well, quite a lot according to general fan opinion. So ca
Happy Times and Places 48.1 - The Dominators 1
Well, even our guest admits that this isn't even one of his favourite stories, so host Toby Hadoke might well have out work cut out singing the praises of this Troughton story everyone seems to try to forget about. Said guest, by the way, i
Happy Times and Places 47.1 - The Girl in the Fireplace
Snogging, Booze, Love - that's not what Doctor Who is about! Is it? Well, this tuned out to be a very popular episode, but will comedian Kathryn Mather - from a different generation a female perspective - appreciate the same things as host
Happy Times and Places 46.3 - Survival 3
And so it ends... the very last episode of Doctor Who to be broadcast during its original run. And it might all be host Toby Hadoke's fault. Ben Cook is far too young, as he proves when he ages himself in this podcast - but that is nothing,
Happy Times and Places 46.2 - Survival 2
The last episode you host, Toby Hadoke, saw go out live - for reasons that will be explained. Who is on the Cheetah People's menu and how many of them have been Toby's neighbours? And why is Anthony Ainley smiling like the cat who has got t
Happy Times and Places 46.1 - Survival 1
It's the end ... of the Classic Series anyway. How can such a moment be prepared for? Well, with a very special guest : young over-achiever Benjamin Cook has given us a very cheery and effusive advocacy of Survival. Can he and host Toby Had
Too Much Information 4.1 - The Roof of the World
And so Doctor Who's fourth adventure kicks off with the first episode that we cannot actually see. But there's plenty to examine in terms of the large amount of filming done for this episode, the last minute changes to the script which give
Indefinable Magic 19 - From Boy to Fan
Toby Hadoke can trace the moment he went from being a normal human being who liked Doctor Who, (you know, watching it on TV, reading the stories, enjoying it) to becoming a fan (you know, finding out about behind-the-scenes facts, learning
Happy Times and Places 45.1 - Kill The Moon
Bergcast host and TV and film historian Jon Dear chooses and episode that has got a bad press in various parts. He defends it here, as does host Toby Hadoke. And if that weren't enough, we have a key member of the team behind adding his tho
Happy Times and Places 44.4 - Four to Doomsday 4
What a peculiar thing this story is, but this episode contains much enjoyable laser gun action and one of THE GREATEST EVER LINES IN DOCTOR WHO AND WE DON'T KNOW WHY. James Goss has to choose his favourite thing about this episode and the s
Happy Times and Places 44.3 - Four to Doomsday 3
So finally the story starts to tell us what it is all about but it's still quite difficult to get to grips with quite what is going on here. As Monarch meanders towards Earth with his myriad of dance troupes and pot plants, how easy is it g
Happy Times and Places 44.2 - Four to Doomsday 2
Writer and wit James Goss has chosen a most beguiling slice of Doctor Who. But will host Toby Hadoke need much persuasion to choose the same best thing about the story as he has, or is the way to enlightenment fairly well signposted?
Happy Times and Places 44.1 - Four to Doomsday 1
Well no-one is a big fan of this funny old story - well, apart from Doctor Who novelist and audio writer (and documentary maker and all sorts of other things) James Goss. Who could wish for a more charming advocate for this under-celebrated
Happy Times and Places BONUS - The Idiot’s Lantern
This bonus episode is being parachuted into the schedule because special guest Gemma Arrowsmith has a show out there right now so the gap between her recording her contribution and the release of this episode is perhaps the shortest ever (s
Happy Times and Places OMNIBUS - Terminus
There's going to be a bonus release in the middle of this week so here's an omnibus to keep you going until then. Since partaking in the podcast - and, I'm sure, entirely as a result of doing so - our special guest Laurence Clark has writte
Happy Times and Places 43.2 - Family of Blood
This one gets quite serious but, frankly, it is an extraordinary episode. Paul Litchfield - comedian, actor, vocal genius - is on hand to provide some much needed frivolity. But let's face it - this is a slice of Doctor Who that provokes mu
Happy Times and Places 43.1 - Human Nature
Wonderful idiot Paul Litchfield is the guest on this affectionate look at one of the modern classics of Doctor Who. What will be to his liking - the murder of a young girl, public schoolboys being racist, or our hero advocating capital puni
Happy Times and Places Omnibus - The Two Doctors
Cannibalism, Spain, Melting Sontarans, Servalan, Johnny Ringo, Blood, Gore, Murder ... The Two Doctors has it all. But is there some of it that it shouldn't have had? Host Toby Hadoke and guest Matt Hayden throw themselves into this controv
Too Much Information 3.2 - The Brink of Disaster
Well, there aren't many sets and those that are are in the TARDIS, there are no new actors among the cast, and we don't have any drafts, storylines, or even much production paperwork. So here is, literally, everything we know about The Brin
Happy Times and Places 42.4 - The Power of Kroll 4
So there's a wobbly set and the main villain is killed off very early on in the episode, but host Toby Hadoke still can't bring himself to be down on the Power of Kroll. But will he choose the same things to love as our guest, writer and jo
Happy Times and Places 42.3 - The Power of Kroll 3
So things aren't looking too clever for our heroes, whilst the rest of the cast valiantly (depending on where they are) (a) try to maintain some shred of dignity whilst painted green or (b) try to inject some life into proceedings whilst lo
Happy Times and Places 42.2 - The Power of Kroll 2
The swamps get swampier, the rain gets wetter and Philip Madoc gets grumpier... but what's this? Doctor Who's biggest monster yet? Why does no-one walk about this story? Writer Ian Winterton and host Toby Hadoke fly the flag for no-one's fa
Happy Times and Places 42.1 - The Power of Kroll 1
A host of familiar faces populate the swampy environs of Delta Magna's moon, but one of them is green and another is scowling. Writer and journalist Ian Winterton has chosen an oft neglected slice of Doctor Who - and what will he choose as
Happy Times and Places 41.2 - The Parting of the Ways
It is a parting of the ways between the Doctor and Rose but will it be a meeting of minds between host Toby Hadoke and guest Jenny@bluebox99 (that's Jenny with a "y" by the way). There's only one way to find out... Please support these podc
Happy Times and Places 41.1 - Bad Wolf
Ray of sunshine internet presence Jenny@bluebox99chooses her favourite things about this landmark episode. Will host Toby Hadoke end up as the weakest link, or will he choose the same things as her? Please note: this episode was recorded be
