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 - 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. After eight episodes, the Doom Coalition arc seemed to be going nowhere really, merely laying hints for the future that didn't really seem that interesting or exciting. 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...

DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF PAUL SPRAGG 1975-2014 Brotherhood Of The Daleks can sometimes get lost amongst the myriad number of Dalek stories that are out there, but it's probably one of the greatest ones. It's a psychological examination of the Daleks, it's a tense, thriller style piece where yo...
