play

07/11/12 • 33 min

It's that time of week again, Kasterborites, where James McLean, Christian Cawley and Brian Terranova pluck one of the many subjects of Doctor Who and offer their thoughts about it.
This time around, we're dedicating an entire podKast (with a "K") to the legendary, oft-overlooked yet hugely important Ninth Doctor, as played by the statuesque Christopher Eccleston. From "Run!" to "Before I go..." we discuss his appearance in books, continuity, his legacy and the reasons for his mysterious departure...
You can listen to this week's podKast via the player above, where you will also find an option to download. ITunes users can find the podKast listed there.
Some audio issues are littered throughout the podKast this time - our apologies!

Christian Cawley brings you the latest news of upcoming releases in the world of classic TV and cinema.
We're trying something new this week, delivering details of some forthcoming Blu-ray, DVD, CD, and table top RRPGs that we think you might be interested in.
