2017 - 2. Smile/The Shakespeare Code/Alien Heart & Dalek Soul

2017 - 2. Smile/The Shakespeare Code/Alien Heart & Dalek Soul

In this, the second Pointless Witterings Podcast, I'll be looking back at the latest episode of Doctor Who, Smile, as well as going back in time to look at 2007's The Shakespeare Code. There's also a spoiler-filled review of April's Big Finish main range audio, Alien Heart/Dalek Soul. I tried to rate this podcast on the missability spectrum, but it unfortunately broke it. That's £300 pounds I'm never getting back...

Doctor Who At Big Finish: Throwback Thursday - The Flames Of Cadiz

Released: January 2013 Range: The Companion Chronicles  Range Number: 7.07 Starring William Russell, Carole Ann Ford & Nabil Elouahabi  Written by Marc Platt  Directed by Lisa Bowerman  The TARDIS materializes in Spain in the late sixteenth century. The country is at war with England – and the travellers find themselves on the wrong side of the battle lines. When Ian and his new friend Esteban are captured by the Inquisition, the Doctor, Susan and Barbara plan to rescue them. But these are dark days in human history. And heretics face certain death... If I hadn't been mistaken, I would have said that The Flames of Cadiz was a story originally brodcast during that very first year of Doctor Who. Every single element that makes up the story is incredibly reminiscent of the grand historicals of the time, such as The Aztecs or The Crusade, and this is this stories greatest blessing and curse. Unlike those stories, this one really strains under the weight of it's four ...

Doctor Who - Invasion Of The Dinosaurs

Starring Jon Pertwee & Elisabeth Sladen, with Nicholas Courtney, John Levene & Richard Franklin. Written by Malcolm Hulke. Directed by Paddy Russell.

For years and years, Invasion Of The Dinosaurs was just 'the one with the rubbish dinosaurs'. The reputation of this story was built solely on that one tiny detail, to the point where any other parts of this story were totally forgotten about. And it was uniformly terrible: everyone who...
