Doctor Who: The PodKast with a K

The latest Kasterborous podKast (with a "K") discusses the Missing Believed Wiped event in December and the discovery of long-lost 1960s episodes of Doctor Who. With Christian Cawley, Brian Terranova and James McLean

After a short break we're back with a review of the 2011 Doctor Who Christmas special, The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe.Regular listeners will know that we took a break from the podKast (with a "K") in mid-December to let the core team of Christian, Brian and James to buy presents and prepare for the big day.But now we're back and naturally we're looking at the latest Doctor Who Christmas special, The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe which aired on Christmas Day around the world.Did we like it? Did James throw Brian's new cricket ball through the Kasterborous Towers TV screen when Amy Pond appeared at the end?Well you'll have to click play to find out...If you're new to our podKasts you can find us on Apple Podcasts where you can also leave a review!We hope you enjoy our first chat for a few weeks - we certainly enjoyed it and you might be interested to find out just which members of the team enjoyed the episode...

It's a Christian-free zone in the latest Kasterborous podKast (with a "K") as our great leader makes plans to continue the expansion of our noble Doctor Who website.As a result, this will be the final podKast until the week following The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe, but fear not as this week's podKast features Brian A Terranova and James McLean discussing the sonic screwdriver and its impact and place in Doctor Who lore.From humble beginnings in 1968's Fury from the Deep to its modern-day place as a Tricorder-like device, James and Brian discuss the way in which the device is used, has been brought in and out of the Doctor's box of tricks over the years and pick favourite sonic screwdriver moments.

A little later than intended, the latest Kasterborous podKast (with a "K") features Brian Terranova, James McLean and editor Christian Cawley discussing the recent events in the Doctor Who universe, notably the Christmas episode title reveal and trailer from the Children in Need event last week.Of course, we had to have a chat about harry Potter director David Yates' supposed Doctor Who movie project, a topic which we suspect will run and run over the next few months.Whether The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe is a good title or not doesn't really come into it - we're more interested in the inclusion of heavy Christmas trappings for a second time. While Russell T Davies' Doctor Who tended to place Christmas in a more day-to-day context, Steven Moffat seems to place a greater emphasis on the traditional western view of snow, ice, hot fires, dark, creepy rooms, celebration and feast.You can find out just what we think and hope for via this player:

This week's podKast (with a "K") brings the conversation around to the TARDIS, as Christian and James discuss the magic behind the Doctor's bigger-on-the-inside blue box, its various external configurations and the varying interior dimensions that it has enjoyed over the years.Meanwhile, Brian A. Terranova gets to grips with Siri to find out what she/he thinks about the design of the TARDIS interior... before things get a little personal, that is.We've also got a special treat for our listener - if you wouldn't mind scrolling down to the bottom of this page, madam, you will find a couple of useful links that will inform and entertain after listening to this week's show.Shownotes Police Box at Kiosk Korner An Account of the First Prop at the Centre of the TARDIS Remember, if you enjoy the show, find us on Apple Podcasts, where your reviews will help the show considerably.

This week's show is our much expected The Wedding of River Song review. What's the deal with eyepatch lady? Does the trailer give away too much or not enough?The great thing about Doctor Who is that there isn't a single story that is completely, 100% universally loved. With fans being very opinionated about what makes "great" Doctor Who, it is only right that we should get a podKast (with a "K") that features three very different attitudes...So join Christian Cawley, Brian A Terranova and James McLean as they discuss the Series 6 finale, The Wedding of River Song, how much of it made sense, whether there was really a wedding in it and just what the attraction is for the Doctor when it comes to humans...Meanwhile, we also praise the wonderful tribute to Nicholas Courtney, observe some initial similarities between the opening moments of The Wedding of River Song and the Time Leech comic strip and provide a brief preview of next week's podKastIt's Your Turn: Review US!We need your reviews!

So, why did Craig take little Alfie with him to the department store when he knew that Cybermen were stomping around? How did that huge Cyber-chestplate fail to fit the stocky young father, and just why don't Cybermen live up their names and actually try conquering Earth via the Internet (as opposed to "earpods")?Christian, Brian and James discuss Closing Time in-depth this week, with particular attention played to Stormaggedon, Dark Lord of All, Cybermen, and somehow we even got onto the Doctor's age...Our weekly Kasterborous podKast (with a "K") continues with analysis of the penultimate episode of Doctor Who Series 6 and some speculation about the finale, The Wedding of River Song.We would hope that our listener recalls that we have different options for listening.If you’ve enjoyed the show, please head to Apple Podcasts to leave a rating and review.

This week James McLean and Brian Terranova discussing the brand new Doctor Who episode Let's Kill Hitler.You'll find both sides of the argument here - James wasn't impressed with the episode and the ongoing River Song story, while Brian loved it. Interesting how a show like Doctor Who can be so divisive, isn't it?They also chat about the Torchwood: Miracle Day episode Immortal Sins, in which we get an interesting insight into Jack's past, much like a classic Torchwood episode...Remember, if you enjoy the show, find us on Apple Podcasts, where your reviews will help the show considerably.

In this week's show, we take look at the difference between Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat's approach to Doctor Who. What separates these eras?Taking a week off from the podKast (with a "K"), I was delighted to find that Brian and the other chap (James McLean, who else?) had done such a good job that I'm currently contemplating retirement!After all, what is a chap to do when his two subordinates are getting along very well without him? Sit back, I say, and let them get on with it. This time around, the discussion covers Torchwood scheduling, and some interesting views about the differences and similarities between the Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat Doctor Who eras.Unsurprisingly, you will find nothing at all about Winnie the Pooh, Edgar Rice Burroughs or Voltaire, but of course, this is a Doctor Who podKast (with a "K"), so what do you expect...?Enjoy the show?

Back in 1996, the Doctor Who TV Movie struck TV screens on both sides of the Atlantic. At home it was a hit; in the USA, it was ignored.Now, 15 years later, we ask: has the Paul McGann-starring TV Movie dated badly?This week's podcast features Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian A Terranova discussing this in depth, while also taking a look at original design for Nephew in Neil Gaiman's The Doctor's Wife, and just what Danny Cohen thought he was playing at with his recent discussion about Doctor Who at the Church and Media conference.Here are a few quotes. On the matter of the Doctor Who TV Movie:"It did feel as though there were bits of The X Files in there but that the script and the tone of the show hadn't actually caught up with where The X Files was at that time."There is plenty to say on this, despite the episode being so old, and the era it represented failing to materialise. Christian and Brian are both massive fans of Paul McGann's performance in the Doctor Who TV Movie, making this a particular

It's podKast (with a "K") time again, and this week James McLean, Brian Terranova and Christian Cawley mull over the events of The Almost People, in particular THAT cliffhanger and speculate on how A Good Man Goes to War might play out... In addition, we have a chat about the issue of spoilers, and just when it is safe for a fan to go online, what sites to go to, etc., in order to avoid spoilers. We wonder if a "fascist spoilerphobia" has been borne out of Steven Moffat's recent (and unrelated) dismissal of the people who shared plot spoilers with the rest of the world following the preview screenings for The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon. We always want to hear from our listeners, and will address any comments that you have, so feel free to leave your thoughts below! Patreon benefits  Supporters of the podcast on Patreon got this week’s show ad-free and early.

It's that time of the week again, esteemed Kasterborous readers, where James McLean, Brian A. Terranova and Christian Cawley get together to discuss the week's happening's in the PodKast (with a "K")! As you may have guessed, this time around we share our thoughts on The Rebel Flesh as well as speculate on how we think it might conclude this week in The Almost People. Additionally, we speculate on the nature of ideas and fandom feeding Doctor Who, while Brian reveals that he ascended during the cancelled rapture last weekend. We also discuss Matthew Graham's previous story, Fear Her. We always want to hear from our listeners, and will address any comments that you have, so feel free to leave your thoughts below!Patreon benefits Supporters of the podcast on Patreon got this week’s show ad-free and early.

This week's podKast (with a "K") features Christian Cawley and James McLean (and improved sound quality!) discussing the wonderful episode The Doctor's Wife as only they can, as well as the recent Torchwood: Miracle Day teaser trailer and a couple of Dalek-related book releases!There is little criticism that can be levelled at The Doctor's Wife, but Torchwood is a different matter, so fans of the first two series of the out-of-control alien-sh*gging drama should probably avoid this section.However if you have £30 burning a hole in your pocket and like Daleks, The Dalek Handbook and The Man Who Invented the Daleks: The Strange Worlds of Terry Nation are both featured this week.

A little later than planned, it's time for the Kasterborous podKast with a K to cast its eye on last week's Curse of the Black Spot, as well as look forward to Neil Gaiman's The Doctor's Wife and even chat about the BBC Four tribute to the late Elisabeth Sladen this week in the shape of The Hand of Fear. Joining me this time are Brian A Terranova and Patrick Riley. Things went a little crazy this week; the slightly reduced sound quality can be explained away by the fact that we were in fact podcasting from 1976, for reasons that will become clear... We also chat about the recent controversy (or should that be storm in a teacup) concerning Doctor Who audience figures and the machinations of various printed organs to bash the series.

This week, Brian A Terranova and Christian Cawley discuss Day of the Moon and some of the remarkable implications of the episode, as well as looking forward to The Curse of the Black Spot! Patreon benefits  Supporters of the podcast on Patreon get the show ad-free, and early, and with extra material.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to this week's Doctor Who podcast, which features Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian A Terranova! The Kasterborous podKast team will be discussing, of course, The Impossible Astronaut and the various thoughts, impressions and ideas they got from the first episode of Doctor Who Series 6, in a wide-ranging discussion that takes in more than just a few observations about the Doctor's apparent death at the beginning of the episode. We also chat about various other related matters, and we reckon you will find this to be a fascinating discussion of The Impossible Astronaut. Oh, and look out for Christian Cawley's rant to the BBC One schedulers concerning the Scare the Hare/Doctor Who/So You Think You Can Dance scheduling. Let us know what you think! Patreon benefits  Supporters of the podcast on Patreon get shows ad-free, early, and with bonus content.
