  • 442: How Doctor Who events have evolved over the decades

    442: How Doctor Who events have evolved over the decades
    Aug 21 2024
    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.

    441: House of the Dragon vs. LOTR: The Rings of Power
    Aug 14 2024
    n this week's show, Christian Cawley and James McLean face off with their preferred fantasy streaming shows. 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?

    Aug 7 2024
    Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr as Dr Doom? A Doctor Who spin-off with an incredibly long name? XXXXX XXXXX as Johnny Storm? It can only be the reveals at San Diego Comic Con 2024, and we're here to try and make sense of it all.

    Even if The War Between the Land and the Sea does sound like a George RR Martin epilogue...

    Christian Cawley and James McLean pull the bones out of the best bits of Comic Con 24.

    PLUS: When we chatted with Gareth Kavanagh in June, he shared with us some upcoming news about Cutaway Comics projects, plus a tease of their summer sale - now on!

    Jun 18 2024
    James and Magnus commit to an after-show omnibus with a five episode review of the latest season of Doctor Who finishing with the penultimate episode, The Legend of Ruby Sunday. And James misremembers his Pyramids of Mars.

    For shame.

    437: Go Figure, the Character Options figurine collection
    Jun 15 2024
    We're delighted to welcome Gareth Kavanagh to this week's podcast, in which we discuss Go Figure!

    This is the upcoming book detailing the entirety of the Character Options Doctor Who figurine range. It's already achieved its funding goal on Indiegogo, but you have 4 days left (as of June 15th, 2024) to help the project reach some tasty looking stretch goals.

    Go Figure! is edited by Gary Russell, designed by Will Brooks, and features high-quality photographs by Doctor Who collector Richard Lloyd (YouTube's @StetsonDoctor).

    Gareth joins Christian Cawley and James McLean to discuss Go Figure!, and recall a shared adventure at a convention 6 years ago...

  • 436: Contemporary Language in Sci-fi TV and Movies

    436: Contemporary Language in Sci-fi TV and Movies
    Jun 8 2024
    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.

  • 435: Remembering William Russell - The Adventures of Sir Lancelot Commentary

    435: Remembering William Russell - The Adventures of Sir Lancelot Commentary
    Jun 7 2024
    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.
