    Episode 27 - A New To Who Christmas Special: Ho Ho Hum! (Our Crap Favourites)

    A NEW TO WHO CHRISTMAS SPECIAL: HO HO HUM! (OUR CRAP FAVOURITES) New to Who bring you gifts you probably didn’t really want this Christmas, and that you will only end up throwing out along with the wrapping on Boxing Day. Merry Crapmas - it’s our Ho Ho Hum special! Because it’s been that kind of year, Col, Dan, and Steven have taken to looking for the good in the Doctor Who stories that perhaps aren’t as loved by many as they are loved by them. Is there even one McCoy story that Dan can’t watch in rapt attention? (Clearly not!) Hear Steven ‘fess up to loving a Hinchcliffe and Holmes clunker that will have you shaking your head. And which piece of failed ‘60s avant garde surrealism is Col’s dirty little secret? It’s probably not the Christmas you were hoping for, but we’ve all got to band together and try to find something worth smiling about. We hope you like at least some of our rubbish faves. Merry Crapmas, Sweet Dorks! Theme by Our Colin (2019).  Much love and thanks, Col! ❤︎ Special thanks to Sarah Tout at Voice Box Media Training.  You can now find New To Who on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podbean, and PlayerFM.

    Episode 25 - Horror of Fang Rock

    NEW TO WHO and the HORROR OF FANG ROCK Off a remote rocky island a few miles off the Channel coast stands the New To Who lighthouses. There have always been tales of the three beasts of New To Who, but when the Tardis lands here with Leela and the Doctor, the force they must deal with is more sinister and deadly than the mythical beasts of the past. It is 2020, the threat of coronavirus is common, and the formless, gelatinous mass from the future must use the New To Who lighthouses’ generators to recharge its system. Nothing can stop this Rutan scout in its search and experimentation on humans… Theme by Our Colin (2017). Much love and thanks, Col! ❤︎ Special thanks to Sarah Tout at Voice Box Media Training.

New to Who materialises on Twelfth Night in a Parallel Whoniverse where the natural order of things has been turned upside down. It is in this shadow dimension that Parallel Dan, Parallel Col, and Parallel Steven have gathered to glare menacingly at each other through one eye while wearing eye patches over the other as they proclaim their picks for the stinkiest stories of Classic Who for our Worst.Episodes.Ever. Which redeemed ‘60s story does Parallel Col nonetheless believe is the worst of that decade? Which iconoclastic classic from 1976 can’t Parallel Dan stand?

    This episode of New To Who is dedicated to dedicated to Sir Terrance Dicks NEW TO WHO and THE SPEARHEAD FROM SPACE In this, their twenty-third incarnation, NEW TO WHO and Returning Friend of the Podcast, Pete, grapple with the nightmarish invasion of the AUTONS - living giant-sized plastic-modelled ‘humans’ with no hair and sightless eyes; waxwork replicas and tailors’ dummies whose murderous behaviour is directed by the NESTENE CONSCIOUSNESS - a malignant, squid-like monster of cosmic proportions and indescribably hideous appearance. ‘This NEW TO WHO adventure (televised as “Spearhead from Space”) wins my vote as the best in the lifetime of the series so far.”Matthew Coady, The Daily Mirror.‘NEW TO WHO, the children’s own podcast which adults adore…’Gerard Garrett, The Daily Sketch A TARGET ADVENTURE Theme by Our Colin (2019).

    Episode 22 - The TV Movie

    NEW TO WHO and THE TV MOVIE “We’re back - and it’s about time!” Late July, 2019: the brink of a new episode of New To Who. An anachronistic Australian podcast materialises in San Francisco (or is that Vancouver?) amid a hail of laughter which finds its intentional targets - three strange men who walk out of the pod. But Col, Dan, and Steven are not the only podcasters in Vancouver. Doctor Who royalty, Jeremy Radick - who appears as Gareth in the 1996 TV Movie - is there as well, joining New To Who for a very special episode. Seven years after disappearing from television screens everywhere, Doctor Who came back - but for one night only. The script for The TV Movie (also unofficially known as “The Enemy Within”) was written by Matthew Jacobs - whose father appeared in the William Hartnell story, The Gunfighters - while Philip Segal was finally able to bring his vision for Doctor Who to a US mainstream audience for the first time in his role as Executive Producer of this American co-production with Fox. Geoffrey Sax, another Englishman in Hollywood, directs this big budget movie intended as a pilot for a Doctor Who series on network television. Taking the mantle of the Doctor, this time in his eighth incarnation, was the dreamy Paul McGann. Daphne Ashbrook played his companion-in-waiting, Dr Grace Holloway, alongside Jee Yee Tso as Chang Lee, who falls under the spell of the Master - this time played fabulously by Eric Roberts. You can listen to and see the film clip for The Safety Dance by Canadian new wave outfit Men Without Hats here. Theme by Our Colin (2019).

    Episode 21 - The Ark In Space

    NEW TO WHO and THE ARK IN SPACE At a time in the far-off future, Earth has become uninhabitable. A selection of Humanity is placed, deep-frozen, in a fully-automated space station, to await the day of their return to Earth… Thousands of years later, New To Who return. Col, Dan, and Steven find things going suspiciously wrong, and the station under attack from the giant WIRRN, deadly creatures who, in their lust for power, now threaten the future of the whole Human Race… New To Who are back with a look at THE ARK IN SPACE, the first story proper of the vaunted Hinchcliffe and Holmes era of Classic Who (Seasons 12 to 14). The story is written by Robert Holmes, rewriting John Lucarotti’s original script, while Philip Hinchcliffe takes the reins from Barry Letts as producer for the first time – at the ripe old age of 29! It boasts some beautiful set designs by Roger Murray-Leach complemented by gorgeous direction by Rodney Bennett and a haunting score from Australia’s own Dudley Simpson, while Tom Baker, Elisabeth Sladen, and Ian Marter are wonderful as one of the all-time very best TARDIS teams. With echoes of 2001: A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick from 1968 and foreshadowing Ridley Scott’s Alien of 1979, THE ARK IN SPACE combines existential and body horror genres to tell the story of cryogenically frozen human colony that revives only to find themselves in the midst of an insectoid alien horror that feeds on their bodies and souls! The cover of the original imprint of the 1976 Target novelisation for THE ARK IN SPACE is used with the kind permission of Chris Achilleos. The novelisation is written by Ian Marter himself, and the audiobook is ready by none other than Tom Baker. Theme by Our Colin (2019). Much love and thanks, Col! ❤︎ Special thanks to Sarah Tout at Voice Box Media Training. You can now find New To Who on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and PlayerFM. NEW TO WHO WILL RETURN
