The Doctor Who Podcast: Re-Cutting The Key To Time 1 – The Ribos Operation and The Pirate Planet

07/06/14 • 14 min

Welcome to a brand new series of mini-DWPs! In Re-Cutting The Key to Time, good friend of show, Mr Stephen Elsden shares his thoughts about the stories that comprise The Key To Time season. Long term DWP listeners (yes, there are a few!) will remember Stephen from our 7^th Heaven and Re-Trial of a Time Lord featurettes where he talked about watching classic episodes of Doctor Who for the very first time many years after their original transmission.

In the first episode, he talks to James about The Ribos Operation and Ian about The Pirate Planet.

And this is in addition to your regular weekly DWP – we’ll be back next week with Episode 265!

The Doctor Who Podcast Episode #264: Regenerations 9: The End of Time

Join James, Stephen, Tom and very special guest Kyle Anderson as they convene to discuss the much maligned tenth Doctor swan-song, The End of Time. This story has is supporters – it finished 82^nd in the recent poll by Doctor Who Magazine – higher than A Christmas Carol, higher than The Snowmen and (criminally) higher than The Twin Dilemma; but do this week’s campervan occupants rate it?!

If you like sane, sensible and measured anaysis rather than our usual ramblings, Kyle regularly contributes to The Nerdist, usually about Doctor Who but he does dare to go off topic on occasion. He is also a co-host on both the Doctor Who: The Writers Room and WTF Are You Watching?! podcasts – go check out his stuff!

Join us next week when we get all Christmassy again (yes, in July) as we take on Time of the Doctor in our penultimate Regenerations review.

The Doctor Who Podcast Episode #265: Regenerations 10: The Time of The Doctor

Join Leeson, Ian and Michele as they travel back in time to Christmas last year, when the second of the two highly anticpated 2013 Matt Smith episodes aired for the first time. Has the relatively short period since broadcast had an impact on the Campervan’s occupants opinion of the story? Has the seven months been kind to it?! Find out in the final instalment of our Regenerations Series!

Ian and Michele also dive into a new Big Finish range, the third series of the Fourth Doctor plays. This time around, The King of Sontar is put under the microscope.
