Before I dive headfirst into the Series 10 reviews, I brought along my wife, Tammy, for a quick special to discuss the announcement of the 13th Doctor and her experiences at her very first convention this past weekend at Raleigh Supercon.  

And stay tuned after the credits for a short tribute to the lovely Deborah Watling, who sadly passed away this morning (July 21, 2017)...

It's the return of The Quest is the Quest and the Return of Doctor Mysterio!  Before delving into Series 10, let's take a look back at the 2016 Christmas special about a real superhero named Ghost....wait...Supernanny!....no....Grant.  It's a fun little Christmas special that really has nothing to do with Christmas - just a bunch of brain stealing aliens without pockets planning an invasion...with blue snot.  Thank you so much for ...

Here's something different:  I thought it would be fun to read a novel and then hear the adaptation from Big Finish.....so I did.  This month, it's The English Way of Death by Gareth Roberts.  Originally a book published in 1996 and now a Big Finish audio adapted by John Dorney featuring the Fourth Doctor, Romana, & K-9. 

See you in September!

So it's May, and at long last I finally sit down to watch the 60s Daleks films for the first time.  It's horror legend Peter Cushing doing a wonderful version of the Doctor, but do the stories and the unorthodox characterizations work?  Hang out with me for about 25 minutes and let's talk about it.

A rare venture into the foray of Big Finish in this year of almost no new Doctor Who takes this show into reviewing what you, the listeners, have been asking for - Only the Monstrous, the very first War Doctor audio starring John Hurt.  Joining me this time is special guest Paul Towsley of Towsley TARDIS, The Paul Towsley Show, and Tongue Tied.  Hope you enjoy!

So Series 9 has come and gone.  Man, that was quick.  Here's the review of the two-part finale, Heaven Sent and Hell Bent.  See you after Christmas!
