We've had a few weeks' rest and recuperation but we're now back with a rare pleasure: former Doctor Who producer Philip Hinchcliffe (1974-1977)!There is a bit of a story behind this one. Back in 2018, Gareth Kavanagh invited James McLean and Christian Cawley to do some live podcasting and panel interviews at the VworpCon event, held at the PrintWorks in Manchester.Philip Hinchcliffe was supposed to be one of several guests on a panel discussing the TARDIS and its evolution throughout Doctor Who's history, but on the day the dice didn't roll quite as planned.As a result, James ended up with just Philip Hinchcliffe, along with a few technical challenges. However, thanks to AI audio fixes and judicious editing by Christian, we've ended up with quite an interesting - and rare - chat with Philip, who gives some quite unique answers and stories on a topic that he doesn't usually get drawn on.Enjoy!Shownotes VworpCon Tardisbuilders.com The DNA of Doctor Who: The Philip Hinchcliffe Years Get in touchIf you subscri

Over the past few years, we've had the chance to attend all manner of Doctor Who events. It's fair to say that the whole world of conventions and interactive experiences has evolved considerably.From Dimensions 2005 to VworpCon in 2018, and The Crash of the Elysium to Escape Hunt: A Dalek Awakens, we've been very fortunate to have attended a whole host of different events. They have covered different sizes of venues, different types of guests, and offered a wealth of differing experiences. This week, Christian Cawley and James McLean discuss how Doctor Who events have evolved over the decades. We also discuss A Dalek Awakens, an escape room experience in Norwich, which James was fortunate enough to visit recently.Shownotes Podcast: Previewing VworpCon (2018) Podcast: Tom MacRae tells us about The Crash of the Elysium (2012) Podcast: James McLean attends The Crash of the Elysium (2012) Recommendations: A Dalek Awakens RoboCop: Rogue City (videogame) Shogun (Disney+) Get in touchIf you subscribe to our p

In the Black corner, Christian is in favour of House of the Dragon... in the Elf corner, it's James, with Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.Which is the best show? Why have Christian and James settled on those shows and not the others? And does James really care whether Christian watches The Rings of Power?Shownotes House of the Dragon (Now TV)Matt Smith's career since Doctor Who Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power The Hobbit The Hobbit video game The Boggit spoof video game An Unearthly Child is still offline... again Holy Flying Circus Get in touchIf you subscribe to our podcast, please head to Apple Podcasts to leave a rating and review.

In this podcast, Christian Cawley and James McLean commence a conversation that takes them into an unexpected direction, namely language.Why is representation of contemporary language so poor in TV and movies? Beyond expletives in Hollywood movies, the representation of what we archaicly refer to as "street talk" is in most cases laughable.Get in touch If you subscribe to our podcast, please head to Apple Podcasts to leave a rating and review.

Esteemed British actor William Russell sadly passed away on June 4th, 2024, at the age of 99. An actor with a career spanning 73 years, his final screen appearance was, of course, in a 2022 Doctor Who episode, The Power of the Doctor.Over the years, Russell (who also acted under the name Russell Enoch) accumulated a remarkable 109 screen and audio credits (based on an IMDb figure which we suspect is incomplete) dating back to 1949.In this podcast, we take a look at Russell's most famous role before Doctor Who. 30 episodes of The Adventures of Sir Lancelot were recorded, a show that was a hit on both sides of the Atlantic. Such a hit, in fact, that some episodes were recorded in colour, way back in 1956!So, join Christian Cawley and James McLean as they watch, and talk over, episode 1 of The Adventures of Sir Lancelot.ShownotesThe Adventures of Sir Lancelot, episode 1, on YouTubeGet in touchIf you subscribe to our podcast, please head to Apple Podcasts to leave a rating and review.
