Listen to us reminisce about watching the Dalek movies on the big screen in glorious 4K where we were so close we could feel their fire, and then burrow our way down the nostalgia tunnel to the good old pirate VHS scene where we discuss how we got to see and acquire vintage Doctor Who and how technological advances along the way made it much easier to watch our favourite shows without waiting 18 months plus to hit Australia TV. Staff Xmas Party – The Eighth (Days a Week!) The dreaded metal pepper pots are the focus of our Target Book Club this episode! We whisk ourselves away via the power of prose to Skaro, Mechanus, Spiridon and…umm…Skaro again and too close things out we put forward our nominations for Fanwank of the Year Award!Īll this plus our tribute to the late, great Chris Boucher, find out which co-host’s bottom appeared in the DWB Compendium AND will Dave’s coffee table survive the channelling by Richard of Doctor Who’s number one fan? And let your mind boggle at the stories of fist fights in the men’s room! Gas as we regale you with tales of guests who made a beeline for the buffet lunch and then shout through. We reminisce about our favourite and not so favourite convention anecdotes where discuss our (naughty and nice) encounters with Doctor Who fans and guests alike. What other shows failed to escape the dreaded guillotine and ‘Holy censorship!’, we detail the cuts made to Caves of Androzani Part 4 and would have Mark’s ‘directors cut’ suggestion for the ending saved the show from cancellation?Īll this plus Rob goes back to the sweet, sweet 90s and gives us all a taste of Young Rob’s percolating bile against the New Adventures! 42 to Doomsday –And Cut it Now!Įpisode 107 – We are back (and just in time for Xmas!) While Rob is forages through the hoarder’s house for any fragments of Power of the Daleks, Mark, Dave and Richard reconvene! Was there any method to their madness? Or was it down to an individual’s view on how to protect fragile Australian minds from British filth and violence? We discuss the process of how episodes of Doctor Who and other TV shows were submitted for review before transmission and what needed to be excised to achieve a ‘family friendly’ rating during the 60’s 70’s and 80’s. In this episode we demonstrate how troubled with the able assistance of researcher Mike Pummel who has dug up a treasure trove of correspondence relating to the many cuts that were inflicted upon our favourite show! Episode 109 – Doctor Who has always had a troubled relationship over the years with Australian censors.
