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...

Performed by David Troughton  Written by Foster Marks  Directed by Nicholas Briggs & Ken Bentley  Showing too much interest in a mining operation on an almost deserted planet leads the Doctor and his companions into danger.  My god, what an awful title! I don't think that there's many titles in the Doctor Who cannon that I would say that about. And the story isn't particularly interesting either, never really grabbing the audience in the way it should. It certainly seems as if The second Doctor got the sharp end of the Short Trips stick, as non of the his stories manage to be interesting or memorable.

It's pretty much Vengeance On Varos without the heart or the charm. Even David Troughton's performance seems less interested than usual. To be honest: there's ...
