With Mike off to Vegas Ian & Dave take up diving, but soon give it up when they realize you can’t Drink & Dive. So the make there way back to to Dry Dock to dry off and get on with this weeks Commentary: Doctor Who – Cold War. Series 7 Part two
This has been my pet peeve since the series came back, but it seems to have gotten even worse as of late.
To add insult to injury, it is used like a magic wand. It seems to be able to do everything these days on the Doctor's whim.
I say this as a "gadget person" and as someone that always liked the Sonic Screwdriver, but it needs limitations (not just wood). It can't be the Doctor's magic wand.
Cultdom Commentary: Doctor Who – The Rings of Akhaten
Ian, Dave and Mike decide to do a bit of shopping at the local Market when Mike remembers he has to get to a singing lesson, which leaves Ian and Dave to hold up at the corner bar where they stumble across this weeks Commentary: Doctor Who – The Rings of Akhaten. Series 7b
The Rings Of Akhaten... obviously one of the best new series episodes to feature the Silence because I've watched it twice and have forgotten what it is about. It's sort of like watching a PBS documentary on the paintings of Norman Rockwell while eating steamed crabs... lots of evocative images but when you're done you're still hungry.
Cultdom Commentary: Doctor Who – The Bells of Saint John
Dave and Ian get busy looking up actor Bio’s online while Mike has trouble with his internet connection, just as they think he’s found a good connection he disappears… leaving the Wino Duo to tackle the Commentary: Doctor Who – The Bells of Saint John. Series 7 Episode 7
Well, now that the new series is starting I thought that I'd better check and update the titles for the remainder of the season. It's not so much a reshuffle as renaming.
Since thie series has already started I see no need to put these in white text, so here we go:
7. The Bells of Saint John (aired this weekend)
8. The Rings of Akhaten (previously unnamed)
9. Cold War (the Ice Warrior Story)
10. Hide (previously listed as Phantom of the Hex)
11. Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS
12. The Crimson Horror
13. Nightmare in Silver (previously called The Last Cyberman)
14. N/A (still no title? ...why?)
episodes 7 10 are confirmed by the "posters" that were released through the BBC's Doctor Who website found here:
News and Feedback episode – reviewing both the Buffy and Angel TV Series not covered due to numbers on audio. Anthony Burdge joins us at the end to talk a little Tolkien
Cultdom Episode 193 – From the Mind of J. R. R. Tolkien
In another of our ‘From the Mind of …’ series. Today J. R. R. Tolkien where we focus on both his written work and how later these great works such as The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings have been brought to life in audio recordings and on the big screen.
One day after registrations open for Gallifrey One: 25 Glorious Years (14-16 February 2014) we hear from cuddly Ken on his many convention experiences as he chats with Ian, Mike & Dave
BBC America has released when the next 'Revisited" will air. It will air on March 31st and the selected story that will air with the special is "Spearhead From Space" - the first auton story!
This will make for a busy weekend for Doctor Who, because the day before the new episodes will begin airing and then this too...
NOTE: They haven't announced it directly in an article but. it was announced in a link that led to a story that features "Best Qoutes: Third Doctor" You can view it here:
Cultdom Commentary: Doctor Who – The Tomb of the Cybermen Ep 3 & 4
Mike Dave and Ian are still hanging out in the Basement where we left them at the end of the last episode, the wine is almost gone and the bathroom is still occupied by the Cyber Leader… so the boys wait him out by finishing of the Commentary: Doctor Who – The Tomb of the Cybermen Ep 3 & 4.
Cultdom Episode 192 – The Doctor: The Doctors Revisited – Troughton TTOTC
50 Years of Doctor Who. Today its the 2nd Doctor as played by Patrick Troughton plus we review ‘The Tomb of the Cybermen’Note: from 13m to 33m there is some Dr Who spoiler talk.
According to BBC the title of the 7th episode (1st from break) is called 'The Bells of St. John'. It is also reported that this will be the point when Clara Oswin "officially" joins as a companion.
With that news comes a picture for the upcoming episode. You can find it here to download and save:
A WORD OF WARNING: The picture shows the 'redesigned classic monster" on it so if you don't want to be spoiled avoid looking too closely at the picture. A hint - they are the same ones referred to in the previous post. However if you want to see the returning monster you can see a close-up of the images from the picture here:
These are names given for 7 of the remaining episodes but most of them are not confirmed, so here is the list as it stands now. As usual I will have these in white text to avoid spoilers for those who don't want to know.
I repeat these are not confirmed (except for the 7th episode) so they may be subject to change.
A small note: In the previous post I mentioned that the returning "classic" monster was going to be in episodes 8 and 9 but so far I can only confirm that they will be in episode 9. The previous information I had may have been faulty.
BBC has announced that a classic monster will be returning in the second part of the season. For those who don't wan't to know, the following paragraph is in white text. If you want to read just click and drag over the blank area.
BBC has announced that the Ice Warriors will be returning in a story. They were first seen in the story "The Ice Warriors" (which features Patrick Troughton, Frazier Hines, and Deborah Whatlig) and haven't been seen since the story "The Monster of Peladon" (Jon Pertwee and Elisabeth Sladen).
Accoding to wikipedia it is slated to be a two-part story and will air as the eight and ninth episodes of the season (2nd and 3rd episodes when the show returns) .There are no titles given to the episodes yet but it's only a matter of time since we're less that two months away from the return.
