Go Figure, the Character Options figurine collection
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...

Contemporary Language in Sci-fi TV and Movies
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.

Remembering William Russell - The Adventures of Sir Lancelot Commentary
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.

James McLean welcomes back the enigmatic Magnus to discuss the new adventures of Doctor Who. Series 14 is with us, but what is the Kasterborous take on Space Babies and The Devil's Chord episodes?
Well, there is only one way to find out. (Actually two, but unless you're prepared to track down James and Magnus and ask them face-to-face, listening to this podcast is your best option.)
