  • Average

    Once again a Who podcast that is tainted by the hosts & guests ghastly out of touch left wing brainwashing. These types of p seem unable to grasp the fact that the kind of twisted and untenable world view they hold is partly responsible for the demise of this once great franchise. These types only way the show is going to survive is for the next production team to turn their backs on all the hand-wringing faux fake virtue signalling and instead focus on adventure and thrill with a touch of dark ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sir Sherlock
Q: To what extent has the original Tom Baker Hound of the Baskervilles adaptation informed Tom Baker's performance of Sherlock Holmes in this one?
Eaton-Jones says Baker had not been fully satisfied with his earlier portrayal. The new scripts were written specifically for Baker, with lines shaped to his style, and Baker added his own wording and performance details during recording.
Sir Sherlock
Q: What is Sir Sherlock and how did it come about?
Barnaby Eaton-Jones says the project began with Ian Kubiak's idea for a Sherlock Holmes audio drama starring Tom Baker, with John Leeson as Watson. AUK Studios funded and produced the series, which expanded from three stories to four.
The Making of Whooverville
Q: What's the most satisfying parts of doing?
The organizers say the most satisfying moment is after the event has finished, when the venue is packed away and they can reflect on the people who came because of the work they put into the convention.
The Making of Whooverville
Q: What is the secret origin of the Whoovervilles?
The Whoovers grew from a local Doctor Who group that held monthly gatherings. Around 2008, members decided to create a convention and chose the name Whooverville as a playful reference to the Hooverville in Doctor Who's Daleks in Manhattan.
Paul McGann Interview
Q: Did you know, you probably knew this, that the TV movie was the most expensive episode of Doctor Who to be created, at least until Disney took over, because they're very hush-hush.
McGann says the movie's expense was evident in its cinematic look and 35mm film production, though he later accepts that it was also a substantial investment by U.S. television standards.
