Doctor Who: The PodKast with a K

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 podKast It's Your Turn: Review US! We need your reviews! He

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...

Christian Cawley and James McLean discuss Torchwood: Miracle Day episode 1 The New World from a UK perspective as well as other Torchwood subjects, such as: Is Torchwood still part of the Whoniverse? We attempt to sort it out, and recognise the differences between Torchwood Series 1 and 2 and the later Children of Earth and Miracle Day. Would the Eleventh Doctor look out of place in Torchwood: Miracle Day? We also have a brief chat about forthcoming Doctor Who original title, Dan Abnett's The Silent Stars Go By, which features the Ice Warriors.

Brian Terranova, James McLean and guest Patrick Riley are in the hotseat this week for the latest podKast (with "K"). This time around, the main subjects are the great news about Big Finish's licence renewal, the future of Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor and the current trend for exclusive merchandise releases.

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? Remember to leave a review.  

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, makin

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. Also don't forget that we will address any comments that you have and give you a mention, so feel free to leave your thoughts below!

This week's Kasterborous podKast features a fascinating discussion with Gareth Kavanagh about the second Doctor Who Magazine love-in that is Vworp Vworp! #2! Long-term readers of Kasterborous will recall that the first issue of Vworp Vworp! featured a couple of contributions from this very site, not least in the shape of part 1 of Time Leech, our own Doctor Who comic strip. But Vworp Vworp! was much more than a fanzine with a comic strip in it - rather it was a thing of beauty, with the professional quality design, printing and writing contributing to a pinnacle of fanzine production. In many ways it was like a copy of DWM that is itself about DWM. One of the key characters in the early days of Doctor Who Magazine (back in the Weekly/Monthly days) was Abslom Daak, the insane Dalek killer, and his band of Star Tigers. Daak features heavily in the next issue of Vworp Vworp!, and Gareth Kavanagh tells us a little bit about this and some other features coming up in the magazine. EDITOR'S NOTE: This i

Here's a treat for you all: the chance to listen to our first podKast with a K from 2007, with Christian Cawley and Brian A. Terranova discussing a few contemporary Doctor Who events. Listen out for the first appearance of our butler, Gerald Slitheen... Looking forward to your feedback... :O
