Happy Times and Places 85.2 - The Sensorites 2 53:44

3d ago53:44

53:44

They may be Unwilling Warriors but they're still a terrifyung prospect - silent if not deadly, the Sensorites have to walk very slowly round the spaceship lest they run out of corridor. This story has a bad reputation and yet there's much to recommend about this : so will Steve Lyons (Doctor Who writer of note and wit) choose the same thing to cele…

Hapy Times and Places 85.1 - The Sensorites 1 54:54

10d ago54:54

54:54

Oh no. It's the story that everyone doing a Doctor Who marathon experiences their first stumble during. Indeed, it's the point where a number of people bail. Poor old The Sensorites. Even its advocate for this podcast, top Doctor Who writer Steve Lyons, confesses that it his least favourite story of the season. So join Steve as he guides your host …

Happy Times and Places 84.1 - Planet of the Ood 1:16:20

17d ago1:16:20

1:16:20

Remember - Toby Hadoke's Time Travels is currently weekly, not twice a week as is usual: normal service will be resumed in October. Academic and stand-up comedian Oliver Double chooses perhaps the least celebrated slice of Doctor/Donna Who, from a time when the show was riding high in the ratings, in the public eye... everywhere. But what five thin…

Too Much Information 5.3 - The Screaming Jungle 1:00:27

24d ago1:00:27

1:00:27

A gentle reminder that this month, Toby Hadoke's Time Travels will be weekly as opposed to fortnightly whilst batteries are recharged and general maintenance is carried out. The next key of Marinus is hiding in a jar in an old man's laboratory, but it's a jungle out there... and jungle that is trying to get in. Before the episode can be transmitted…

For August and September Toby Hadoke's Time Travels will be released once a week. The twice weekly releases will resume in October. Thanks for your patience. Here we go chums. What a rewarding experience this has been. But can The Ambassdors of Death contnue to surprise, and to break the mould, and have host Toby pull off a rare victory? Or will th…

The fortnightly releases of Toby Hadoke's Time Travels will recommence in October.

Happy Times and Places 83.5 - The Ambassadors of Death 5 51:47

2M ago51:47

51:47

Toby Hadoke's Time Travels will be weekly during August and September- the twice weekly releases will return in October. So, the story steps up a pace: beginnning, as it does, with the death of another major character and having Liz held hostage and the Doctor jetting off into space. Will his journey be as wayward as the story itself is often writt…

Happy Times and Places 83.4 - The Ambassadors of Death 4 1:01:38

2M ago1:01:38

1:01:38

Toby Hadoke's Time Travels is reducing its release rate to once a week during August and September because it is very tired and overworked and needs a holiday (it won't get one, but at least this'll take the pressure off a bit). The plot gets thicker and thicker, but not as thick as Taltalian's accent... and thereby hangs a tale (but perhaps one th…

Hello, and welcome to THE PODSUADERS! - a podcast celebrating the Golden Age of ITC drama. Hosted by the man who speaks seven languages and only uses them to order cocktails – John Rain.

1:08:20

Just a reminder that Happy Times and Places will be released once a week (rather than the usual twice) during August and September. Holidays innit? Let's hope there are no technical problems with this episode (there were for part two, sorry) but it wouldn't be a surprise if there were. This story seems compelled to make itself somehow unreachable, …

Happy Times and Places 83.2 - The Ambassadors of Death 2 1:00:33

2M ago1:00:33

1:00:33

There is much to love about this story, but the majority of fandom has never quite got to grips with it. This episode might help to explain why - it's a tricky one to watch because of the diffciulties restoring the pictures, and there are a couple of elements which sit awkwardly amonst the show's canon (the vanishing of the tape, Bessie's forcefiel…

DRACULA (1958) with Ashley Blaker 53:09

This week we’ll be holidaying in not-so-sunny Transylvania, where we’ll take in the sights, the sounds, the bites and the grounds, as we try and find out just who has been necking all the pints, and just who ate all the brides . Yes, it’s Dracula! Joining me ask if I know what he MINA’S is Hammer enthusiast, and I don’t mean a fan of Peter Sutcliff…

Happy Times and Places 83.1 - The Ambassadors of Death 1 1:17:56

2M ago1:17:56

1:17:56

Now then, this is one of your host's favourite stories - one he thinks is probably the most underrated story in the whole canon. It was always rather apologetically dealt with in write-ups and fan word-of-mouth was that it was a bit of a mess. So Toby came to it quite late and with low expectations - and was bowled over by it. And it is a love that…

Indefinable Magic Bite Size 8 - Preparing for the Moment (after Empire of Death) 45:24

2M ago45:24

45:24

Endings are hard aren't they? So hard that it's taken a while to get this one out. It is all explained (which is more than can be said for some elements of the latest series) and, hopefully, not too disappointing. Resolving story arcs is very much a modern series thing... but can Doctor Who ever really satisfy as it does, after all... never end? Th…

Robin Bunce, Cambridge academic and writer, whose father Roger was a legnedary BBC cameraman who worked with most of the classic Doctors, has chosen Attack of the Cybermen to celebrate in this positively inclined podcast series.

Happy Times and Places Omnibus - Marco Polo 5:51:06

3M ago5:51:06

5:51:06

One of the longest Doctor Who stories - both episodes-wise and in terms of real time within the fiction - gets one of the longest podcasts. This really is a trek - and one without a compass because there are no moving pictures at all from Marco Polo. But we have a reliable guide : J Jeremy Bentham, surely the elder stateman of Doctor Who fandom. He…

SMERSH HITS! HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE with Tom Crowley and Tom Neenan 2:07:37

A classic from the archive! This week we'll be heading to deepest King's Cross with a large bearded man on a motorbike who tells us that we're thumping good wizards, and capable of squeezing through tight entrances via magic.

Too Much Information 5.2 - The Velvet Web 1:09:07

3M ago1:09:07

1:09:07

The TARDIS team embark upon their quest for the Keys of Marinus and land in a place where everything seems to be perfect. An inventive, if slight, episode, this one features some interesting techniques employed by the prodcution team to pull off the unusual demands of the script. It is also notable because we never actually saw the original, 1964 v…

Happy Times and Places 82.4 - The Stones of Blood 4 53:44

3M ago53:44

53:44

And so we get stoned for one last time. So stoned we go on a trip to hyperspace for a complete change in style and content from the Hammer Horror of the early instalmnents. Often seen as the weaker part of the story, what will Steve Cranford like about it, and will he be able to convince host Toby Hadoke (and indeed, you)? Please support these podc…

3M ago51:07

It's cold outside but there's plenty of atmosphere as The Stones of Blood enters what is commonly known as its hyperspace phase. The story takes an odd turn but there's much to talk about - from matador hi-jinks to imprisoned Wirrn via, of course, the doomed campers. Will Steve Cranford and your host go for the obvious choice of favorite thing here…

Pack your sausage sandwiches and your thermos - but don't forget your truncheon as we might need it if we want to get to Plymouth. Photo ID?

The 100th Doctor Who story - maybe we should have held out and had it as the 100th Happy Times and Places! Gah - there's always clarity after the event! Anyway, this has been one that has never quite done it for yoiur host, Toby Hadoke: and he is open about this at the start... but of course, the whole point of the podcast is to get a special guest…

One from the archives, and the dark old days of 2020, when I had the pleasure to be joined by two of the suavest gentlemen in the world to chat all about Goldfinger, and what a pleasure it was. Joining me to hang around in, frankly too small, romper suits are a pair of the smoothest, suavest gentlemen actors you're likely to find at this time of th…

Too Much Information 5.1 - The Sea of Death 1:29:27

4M ago1:29:27

1:29:27

So, after the epic journey through Marco Polo let's fire the starting pistol on Doctor Who's next quest. We've gone from historical back to science-fiction, with the return of the writer who has proved himself a boon to the prodcution team. But it's fair to say it's an episode during which quite a lot goes wrong, and there were a few hiccups on the…

Indefinable Magic Bite Size 7 - Who's Afraid of the Big Bad - Woolf? (after The Legend of Ruby Sunday) 40:30

4M ago40:30

40:30

Not much about the episode (The Legend of Ruby Sunday) in this one really - as is Indefinable Magic's wont, it wanders of on a tangeant all of its own. This time the inspiration comes from that joy we feel when an element from the show's past comes back to reconnect us to our childhoods. It also takes in some of the convoluted ways these returns ha…

4M ago1:34:51

1:34:51

Ed Stradling revels in the many deaths that Eric Saward serves up in this very gruesome but highly entertaining story. Or is it a violent aberration that is too grim for a family fantasy show? Food for thought and for chat in the second part of this feature length adventure that is actually the same length as normal but doesn't seem like it is. Ple…

Indefinable Magic Bite Size 6 - You've Had This Place Redecorated... (after Rogue) 43:31

4M ago43:31

43:31

So, what to we do when we don't like an aspect of a Doctor Who story? Well, we are Doctor Who fans, so we behave utterly rationally of course. For this episode of Indefinable Magic, the way in which we are drawn to criticise the thing we love comes into the spotlight. Is there such a thing as objectively good and bad, and who has the monopoly on sa…

Happy Times and Places 81.1 - Resurrection of the Daleks 1 1:40:03

4M ago1:40:03

1:40:03

This one has been done as originally broadcast - as a pair of feature length episodes. So it's two things per instlalment that have to be chosen by special guest Ed Stradling. It's a story controversial for its tone and content, and one that would have an impact and influence on the future of the show. And for your host and Ed, it's one that they b…

5M ago37:48

37:48

The past and the future both catch up with us quicker than we'd like. Toby's response to 73 Yards is a contemplation of fear and just how Doctor Who is scary. It also examines the nature of the unexplained and has some personal recollections of childhood fears that reflect the themes and methods of this sparse and spine-chillling instalment. As eve…

Good Lord. Look at the size of this one Doctor. Jonn Elledge - who has a book out right now - has chosen Peter Capaldi's pre-regeneration story which says goodbye to Bill and Nardole (well, for a bit), has two Masters vying for our attention (not to mention three different kinds of Cybermen) and arms its humans with exploding apples.

He's not the Messiah, Steven Moffat, and sometimes he is a very naughty boy. But he's definitely a writer whose work deserves a closer look - an explosive (ahem) talent whose scripts can be mined (ahem, ahem) for subtext and jokes (boom boom!). But what did Boom have to say about faith? And should it be taken at face value? Or is there actually mor…
