The Pointless Witterings Podcast - 7 - The End Of The World

The Pointless Witterings Podcast - 7 - The End Of The World

Hi.

This podcast I'm looking at the Doctor Who TV story The End Of The World, and talk about the fate of Gallifrey, the set design and CGI of the new series' first 'alien' setting and ultimately, why does this story get a bad rep?

Doctor Who - Absent Friends

Starring Paul McGann, Hattie Morahan, Nicola Walker, Jeremy Clyde & Ian Puleston-Davies. Written by John Dorney & Directed by Ken Bentley. Earth. The late 20th century. Across the world, the mobile phone is gaining popularity as more and more people decide to join the digital age. But for the residents of a sleepy English town sitting in the shade of a new transmission mast, that ubiquity has a troubling cost. When the TARDIS veers off-course, the Doctor and his companions find themselves in the middle of a mystery. Sometimes the past comes back to haunt you. And sometimes the future does as well.

I hoped that, with this third box set, the questions that the first two sets had built up would begin to be answered. And, while Absent Friends is only one quarter of Doom Coalition 3, if this story is a...

The Diary Of River Song - The Boundless Sea

Starring Alex Kingston & Alexander Vlahos. Written by Jenny T Colgan & Directed by Ken Bentley. River Song has had more than enough excitement for a while. Deciding the universe – and her husband – can look after themselves, she has immersed herself in early 20th century academia, absorbed in writing archaeological theses. But when a mysterious tomb is found in a dry, distant land, excitement comes looking for River. Can Professor Song stop any more members of the expedition from dying? What deadly secrets lie buried within the crypt? And will British Consul Bertie Potts prove to be a help, or a hindrance? River Song, as a character, is one that polarises the fan base. To some, she's an excellent character, who enlivened the early Moffat era with her sass and complex arc. And, to others, she's a bug-bear: an irritant with virtually no personality beyond the few clichés that Moffat had thrown together, and an over-complicated arc with no real structure to it....
