Monologues about Doctor Who: not too serious or heavy, but something to be entertained by (hopefully) and to muse on (hopefully)...
This episode is examination of disability representation in Doctor Who, hopefully done with some insight and a lightness of touch. Not a lecture by any means - part history lesson, part anecdote, part observation, it hopefully sheds some light on a subject often overlooked or ignored. As ever though, the main intention is to amuse or divert ... albeit by doing a deep dive into the minutiae of a certain aspect of a particular television show about running a lot and sometimes blowing things up.
Trigger warning: Issues of disability is discussed, including some unpleasant experiences at the hands of others.

Happy Times and Places OMNIBUS - The Daleks’ Masterplan 7-12
The second part of this epic trek was originally released back in July/August 2022 which was when its guest contributor, Ian McLachlan, sadly passed away aged 68. He is such a valuable contributor and really helped to make the difficult task of commentating over 12 episodes of often lost Doctor Who go so much easier. And the story itself is pretty bloody good too! Will Ian and your host Toby Hadoke get anywhere close to agreeing on what they like best about this sprawling and eclectic (and largely lost) adventure from so long ago?

Next Episode
Happy Times and Places OMNIBUS - The Curse of Peladon
A genuine Doctor Who writer is the special guest for this omnibus edition, and it's off to Peladon for a story that you host Toby Hadoke first saw in a sort of omnibus form : merged into two 50 minute episodes as part of the Doctor Who and the Monsters season back in the day. This has it all: monsters, sword fights, romance, gloomy tunnels. But which bits will Paul Cornell, the genius behind Father's Day and Human Nature/Family of Blood, identify as his favourites?
