Doctor Who: The Pharos Project Podcast Christopher Ellis & Paul Heath

A mere two months late, we have a look at the 15th Doctor's debut in the 2023 Christmas special, "The Church on Ruby Road".

Fresh from an extended stay in the Balkans at His Majesty's pleasure, the Projecteers are back to look at the 60th anniversary Doctor Who gubbins. Brace for collision with a heady mix of unfiltered Who chat, middle aged people being confused by technology and good old fashioned vulgarity.

In a change of plans, we delve into the 1977 Doctor Who story "Image of the Fendahl". This episode is dedicated to Jasper, who was the best dog ever and who passed shortly before this recording. He is f*****g missed.

Ahoy, mateys! In this episode, Michael Caine has a shocker when he decides to take his horrendous child with him to investigate disappearances on the ocean waves. They run afoul of pirate David Warner, pirate Don Henderson off that bit in Star Wars and Pirate Tinker out of Lovejoy. It's 1980's "The Island".

Nothing says 80's movie like a huge fella nipping about and shooting people willy-nilly. Here, we talk about the daddy of them all, 1985's Commando. *This episode was recorded before the big Doctor Who casting news this week, which we all knew about anyway, but were sworn to secrecy.

Bonjour et bienvenue to a very French episode of the podcast. Join us as we watch "Brotherhood of the Wolf", a film about a French, horny, old time David Attenborough type fella chasing a monster around in the rain.
