How did the Master seduce a young fan to the Dark Side using only a cricket ball? And why are the Doctor and Tegan suddenly so bitchy with each other?

Ahoy there, landlubbers! Come join Tony Whitt, Dalton Hughes, and Alyson Fitch-Safreed as we discuss Barbara Clegg’s novelization of ENLIGHTENMENT, leading to questions about what Eternals actually do when they’re not existing, whether Turlough is really a developed character or not, and why the White and Black Guardians are wasting their time hosting a race for Enlightenment (maybe they’ve got nothing better to do, either?).

When is a Time Lord not a Time Lord? When is an English schoolboy not an English schoolboy? And for the love of all that’s holy, when, oh when, were the UNIT stories actually set?!

We can dance, we can dance, everybody’s taking the chance, it’s the Snakeydance!

Omega’s back, and it’s about…something or other in Amsterdam, apparently. What is the Arc, and why is it infinite? Does it have f**k all to do with the plot? And who thought that giant pile of chicken bones was a good idea? Come join Tony Whitt, Dalton Hughes, Alyson Fitch-Safreed, and special guest J.G.

It’s often been said that the main reason that TIME-FLIGHT is considered such a poor story is its utter lack of budget. But the wonderful thing about novelizations is that budget is no longer a consideration, and when a writer adapts his own script for the page, it’s generally going to be much better than it ever was onscreen. Isn’t it? Come join Tony Whitt, Dalton Hughes, and special guest J.G. McQuarrie as we discuss if this is true. (Spoiler alert: It’s not.)

It’s the end of an era. Never again will we be able to make jokes about Matthew Waterhouse – at least, not any good ones, anyway. Come join Tony Whitt, Alyson Fitch-Safreed, Dalton Hughes, and special guest Jim Sangster as we discuss why we’ve all been unfair to Waterhouse, to Adric, and even to Ian Marter as we talk about his novelization of Eric Saward’s story EARTHSHOCK.

In our newest episode, Tony gets lost in the walls of a stately manor, Dalton gets lost in the labrynthine rules of cricket, and special guest Jason Miller gets lost in showing us just how much his podcast and ours are “Two peas in a pod…positively two peas in a pod.” It’s time for murder, cricket, and horticulture as we discuss the somewhat overgrown novelization by Terence Dudley of his script for BLACK ORCHID!

It’s the very first Peter Davison novelization, the very first novel by Eric Saward, and the very first photo cover that doesn’t suck. It’s also the very first appearance on our show of special guest Jim Sangster, as he, Tony Whitt, and Dalton Hughes discuss the novelization of the story that put gaudily decorated androids and plague mice on the map, THE VISITATION!

And you think you woke up on the wrong side of the bed... When Tegan takes a nap on an alien planet and wakes up in a bad mood, everyone has to deal with the consequences.

Alyson claims she’s never heard Tony sputter with rage before this episode. (She has, but that’s beside the point.) Come join them and Dalton as the three discuss the sheer stupidity that is FOUR TO DOOMSDAY, made only nominally better by the novelization by Terrance Dicks. As Adric would say, it’s “silly.” As Peter Davison would say of Matthew Waterhouse, it’s “stupid.” We are now a proud part of the Direction Point Podcast Network, including such fine shows as THE DOCTOR WHO COLLECTORS PODCAST, THE POLICE BOX IN A JUNKYARD PODCAST, and TIMESTREAMS.

It’s the beginning, and the moment…ah, you get it. Come join Tony Whitt, Alyson Fitch-Safreed, Dalton Hughes, and special guest J.G. McQuarrie as we discuss Christopher H. Bidmead’s introduction to the Fifth Doctor, CASTROVALVA, and try to figure out if the new guy is actually going to work out.

It’s wintertime, when all of our fancies turn to snowmen, gifts under the tree, and sacrificing virgin boys to Hecate. OK, maybe not everyone does that last one, but “religious freedom,” right?

It’s Chicago TARDIS weekend (or rather, it was), and so it’s time for a special live recording to mark a special occasion in our podcast…the debut of the Cloister Bell! (JK, LOL, as the kids say.) Come join the discussion with Tony Whitt, Alyson Fitch-Safreed, Dalton Hughes, and special guest J.G.

What exactly is it with the effed up society that Nyssa of Traken comes from? Maybe that weird figure in the Grove is doing us all a favor by getting rid of them all – but only if he also gets rid of the novelization by Terrance Dicks.

Get out your tourniquets and your butterfly syringes, and put those pesky crosses away – it’s time for the blood letting to commence!

EPISODE 123: FULL CIRCLE If Limahl had been cast as Adric, we could’ve made endless jokes about FULL CIRCLE being a Never-Ending Story. Instead, we get Matthew Waterhouse. F*ck.
