(00:07:44) According to free newspaper The Metro and The Daily Star (not organs fames for their investigative journalism),Doctor Who is planning a Christmas special for this year after previously confirming that the show would not return until 2020. However, it may not be insignificant that the article linked here says that “Metro.co.uk have contacted Doctor Who representatives for comment” and then moves on without suggesting that Doctor Who has even replied.

(00:11:41) Evidence of Hayden’s 10km practice run can be found on our Tumblr page here for any doubters.

(00:24:31) John Freeman is a writer, editor and creative consultant and publisher of the comics and other media news site downthetubes.net.

DIDDLY DUM PODCAST 131 – Gallifrey Falls – Capitol Stands

Doctor Who: Diddly Dum Podcast

04/03/20 • -1 min

We’ve done podcasts about past and future conventions. We’ve done podcasts about organising conventions. We’ve done podcasts about attending conventions. The only topic remaining was postponing conventions during global pandemics. Oh, that old chestnut, we hear you cry. Tony Jordan returns to The Whoseum to relate the palaver of having to postpone “Terrance Dicks: A Celebration” and “Capitol 5” during lockdown.

SHOWNOTES

(00:40:00) “Inside No. 9” is a British black comedy anthology television programme that first aired in 2014. It is written by Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton and produced by the BBC. Each 30-minute episode is a self-contained story with new characters and a new setting, and all star at least one (usually both) of Pemberton and Shearsmith. Aside from the writers, each episode has a new cast, allowing Inside No. 9 to attract a number of well-known actors.

(00:41:40) The Doctor Who Appreciation videos which Tony mentions can be found on the DWAS Online Youtube page here.

(00:02:13) In 1988 Bluebird Toys UK released ‘Doctor Who in the Domain of the Daleks’. This playset was the shape of a Dalek and when opened it became the Dalek Headquarters. It contained a TARDIS with doors opening outwards and inside you could see the console room, a silver Dalek (with a ball bearing in its base) the 4th Doctor and at the top the Emperor Dalek. You could push back the front of the Emperor Dalek’s dome to reveal Davros (as seen in ‘Remembrance of the Daleks’ 1988).

It was produced to coincide with the return of the series to BBC Television screens in 2005, and was intended to present a potted history of the original Doctor Who series, broadcast between 1963–1989, in a manner which would be entertaining to new viewers, unfamiliar with the original series.

(01:13:35) “The Frame” was a 24-issue fanzine that ran from February 1987 to Spring 1993. It was different from most other fanzines in that its articles tended to focus on production personnel — especially designers — who had previously been ignored by the fan community. It was further significant because its writers went on to publish professional Doctor Who works, some of which re-used the content of The Frame. It was edited and published by David Howe, Mark Stammers and Stephen James Walker. The cover which the Rev refers to here is that of issue 8 which can be seen on our Tumblr page here.

(01:23:39) The “Television is bad for your eyes” sketch from S03E07 of “Monty Python”.
