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 - Beachhead

Starring Paul McGann, Hattie Morahan, Nicola Walker, Rebecca Night & Julia Hills. Written by Nicholas Briggs & Directed by Ken Bentley. In an attempt to recharge his batteries after his confrontation with the Eleven, the Doctor takes Liv and Helen to the sleepy English seaside village of Stegmoor. But they find the village in turmoil and, to make matters worse, their arrival uncovers a mystery from the Doctor’s past which threatens the future safety of the planet. Can the Doctor prevent the Voord from invading Earth? And more importantly why have they come in the first place? After the huge success of Doom Coalition 1, there was a lot of onus on the second set of stories to deliver. While the first set is probably overall not Big Finish's best box set, there was a lot of really strong reviews about how it was a very well constructed set overall, with one of the best villain introductions for the Eleven. Even I found the first box set a great success, som...

Audio Review - Doctor Who: The Stones Of Venice

Starring Paul McGann, India Fisher & Michael Sheard Written by Paul Magrs Directed by Gary Russell The Doctor and Charley decide to take a well-deserved break from the monotony of being chased, shot at and generally suffering anti-social behaviour at the hands of others. And so they end up in Venice, well into Charley's future, as the great city prepares to sink beneath the water for the last time... Which would be a momentous, if rather dispiriting event to witness in itself. However, the machinations of a love-sick aristocrat, a proud art historian and a rabid High Priest of a really quite dodgy cult combine to Venice's swansong a night to remember. And then there's the rebellion by the web-footed amphibious underclass, the mystery of a disappearing corpse and the truth behind a curse going back further than curses usually do. The Doctor and Charley are forced to wonder just what they have got themselves involved with this time... The next instalment of...

The Diary Of River Song - The Rulers Of The Universe

Starring Alex Kingston & Paul McGann. Written by Matt Fitton & Directed by Ken Bentley. As shocking secrets are exposed, and a grand plan for the universe is revealed, River decides it’s time she took control of events once and for all. Out in deep space, a clandestine society faces off with an ancient and powerful alien force – but, for River, there’s an added complication. The Eighth Doctor has been caught in the middle, and she must make sure her future husband can arrive at his own destiny with all his memories – not to mention his lives - intact… And so, we enter the final part of The Diary Of River Song. After a slightly faltering start, the third story in the set really upped the game and so, with the stakes as high as they could be, the onus was on The Rulers Of The Universe to deliver. And, for the most part, I thought The Rulers Of The Universe did deliver, with a really strong story and some amazing acting. I wouldn't say it's perfect, and it does...
