Kasterborous: Doctor Who PodKast (with a K)

375: 14th Doctor Who Betting Odds and Flux Trailer Reaction

Russell T Davies has been named as the new Doctor Who showrunner following the departure of Chris Chibnall in 2022. But does this mean a return to the show as it was in 2005, or could RTD have something more interesting planned. Well, what do you think? Christian Cawley and James McLean speculate on the future of the show now that it is finally moving away from BBC in-house production.

What Russell T Davies' Return to Doctor Who Really Means

Jodie Whittaker has announced her departure, and Doctor Who showrunner Chris Chibnall is also heading out the door. The cycle of change has once again been initiated, but we haven't got together to make endless speculation about "who's next?" Instead, we're looking at "where and what next?" What can Doctor Who do to survive in a world of Loki, The Walking Dead, and Midsomer Murders (no, really)? And while we're at it, why is everyone complaining about everything all the flaming time? Join Christian Cawley, Brian Terranova, and James McLean as they treat you to an in-depth conversation about where Doctor Who may or may not head next...

Brian Terranova makes Doctor Who fan films; he also collects props and cosplays. Christian Cawley and James McLean have worked on fanzines. They all host a Doctor Who podcast. But why do these, and other, Doctor Who fans keep making stuff? In this podcast we look at the various ways fans express their love of Doctor Who and other shows and serials through art, writing, cosplay, and other things, along with what drives fans to create.

371: Philip Bates Explains His Book, 100 Objects of Doctor Who

This week Christian Cawley chats with Cutaway Comics' Gareth Kavanagh about Lytton, Omega, Brian Blessed, and accidentally discovering crowdfunding. Doctor Who fandom has been gifted with rare treats over the years, from comics and novels to audiobooks, audio plays, and independent movies. Anyone engaged with Doctor Who is aware of at least one of these alternate spins on the so-called "Whoniverse" but such productions are often limited by licenses. After all, the BBC owns Doctor Who. But, the corporation does not own the characters created by non-BBC writers who worked on the classic series. That's where Cutaway Comics comes in.  In this week's show, Gareth Kavanagh tells us all about Cutaway Comics, its early success with the Eric Saward-approved Lytton, the development of Omega, and just how he got Brian Blessed involved to record the audio adaptation which was fulfilled thanks to support on Kickstarter.

370: Cutaway Comics, Lytton, Paradise Towers, and Brian Blessed as Omega

It's the one you've been waiting for: our thoughts on Doctor Who's New Year special, Revolution of the Daleks! It's good to se John Barrowman back as Captain Jack Harkness, but it is too short a trip? Is it a sad goodbye to Ryan? Are we worried about Yaz - and if not, should we be? And why did the Doctor languish in prison for nearly 20 years? After all, she should be smart enough to escape.Join Christian Cawley, James McLean, and Brian Terranova for their thoughts, reflections, opinions, insight, and reaction to the the Daleks' latest attempt to conquer earth in Revolution of the Daleks.

369: Doctor Who: Revolution of the Daleks Reviewed

Jodie Whittaker has quit Doctor Who. Or has she? Who is in the running to replace the Thirteenth Doctor? Is there even a new name being considered? And is Chris Chibnall also leaving the show? We don't know, but there is plenty of press speculation to discuss. Also: comedian John Bishop is cast as the show's new male companion, the Dark Dimension receives an audio adaptation, and we remember Mark Eden and Barbara Shelley, both of whom have recently passed. Shownotes Has Jodie Whittaker quit Doctor Who?

368: Is Jodie Whittaker Leaving Doctor Who?

Following our previous podcast on how the Time War brings a whole new dimension to Rose, we apply the same thinking across the whole of Doctor Who Series 1. This time, Christian Cawley joins Brian Terranova and James McLean as they consider the impact of the events of the "previous season" (based on an idea that there is a Time War series that concludes with The Day of the Doctor) on the Ninth Doctor and Rose's exploits. Does the fact that the audience now knows that Gallifrey survived the Time War recontextualise the events of The End of the World or The Unquiet Dead? Is there any impact to Aliens of London, Father's Day, The Empty Child, or Boom Town? How do Dalek and The Long Game change the Doctor's exploits a few episodes earlier? And does the return of the Daleks in the year 200,100 represent the final end of the Time War?

367: Time War: Doctor Who Series 1 Revisited

Doctor Who returned in 2005 with Rose. It was the first episode of the show since 1996... but in the show's continuity, The Day of the Doctor introduces new, unseen continuity to Rose. Indeed, Rose likely happens right as the regenerating War Doctor leaves the National Gallery. This podcast takes a look at The Day of the Doctor as a finale to Big Finish's Time War stories. How does this redevelop what we knew about the Doctor back in 2005? How does it change the Doctor's character in context to Rose and the subsequent episodes - all the way back to The Day of the Doctor in 2013, eight years later. Admittedly, it's timey-wimey, but we think you're on board for this. Your hosts this week are James McLean and Brian A. Terranova. They'll be watching Rose as they speak, so feel free to line up your copy and re-enjoy it along with them - assuming it starts on cue...

How the Time War and Day of the Doctor Changed Rose

Christian Cawley and James McLean are back with a new show. This time, we look at the redesign of the Daleks for Revolution of the Daleks, the New Year's Day 2021 episode of Doctor Who.  Comparing the design with earlier Dalek props, it's remote control/unmanned quality, and how the Dalek looks on clips and stills, we then proceed to compare the various models from over the years, all the way back to 1963. Don't forget to let us know what YOU think of the Revolution of the Daleks model. Shownotes Sol3: Spoof News From Around the Galaxy (http://sol.kasterborous.co.uk/) Christian Cawley talks to the DWC about Sol3 (https://thedoctorwhocompanion.com/2020/11/08/new-doctor-who-and-cult-satire-site-launches-and-weve-got-an-exclusive-interview-with-the-editor/) Lonely Robots in Space: Suitcase (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6RjxSV05Wk) Thunderbirds Are Go (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMzFOgY-OtY)

Are Dalek Redesigns Really Necessary - And Which Is Best?

The Daleks are back! Doctor Who is back! On New Years' Day, a new episode, Revolution of the Daleks will screen on BBC TV and around the world. With John Barrowman returning as Captain Jack Harkness, Chris Noth as Jack Robertson (last seen in Arachnids in the UK) and marking the departure of Bradley Walsh and Tosin Cole (Graham O'Brien and Ryan Sinclair), Revolution of the Daleks also squeezes in a stunning new look for the greatest threat in the universe... Christian Cawley and James McLean meet up in this week's podKast with a K to look preview the episode - and find themselves looking forward to it...

Looking Forward to Revolution of the Daleks

One of the key elements of our Shada month here at Kasterborous is the podKast (with a "K") in which we discuss the release of the new adaptation by Gareth Roberts, the original abandoned production, the attempts to remount with other Doctors, John Nathan-Turner's clever use of Tom Baker to narrate it in the mid 1990s and ultimate the audio version from 2003. We also try to get to the bottom of this fascinating question: if Shada had been completed, would we be thrilled by it as a classic? Frankly, for a TV serial that was never completed there is an awful lot to talk about!
