    Gods and Monsters, Virtual Parky, Sherlock Holmes, and more Led Zeppelin...

    A little later than usual, our weekly podcast features Christian Cawley exploring the latest in classic TV news, publications, and film. This week, we look at Cutaway Comics' already funded Indiegogo campaign for the second phase of its Doctor Who-adjacent Gods and Monsters series. There is also news of the AI Michael Parkinson (we jest not) and some remastered classic Sherlock Holmes movies from the Cricklewood days. Oh, and we've also managed to shoehorn more Led Zeppelin news into proceedings.

    Doctor Who Series 16 rumours, new Beatles documentary, lost Thunderbirds found, and more!

    Hi! This week's podcast covers the confusion over Doctor Who Series 16, take a look at the upcoming Beatles documentary, and tell you about a missing episode of Thunderbirds, an unused edit, that has been rediscovered... Looking at the steady stream of newly recovered TV shows and movies long thought "lost" is pretty interesting right now. Maybe we've seen the last Doctor Who discovery, maybe not, but archive media is continuing to be a theme of the weekly podcast. This week's episode once again features Christian Cawley hosting solo, and went out first on Patreon. We've got additional, supplemental editions of the show planned, with interviews already recorded, and a giveaway coming up too. Shownotes What's happening with Doctor Who series 16?

  5. How Doctor Who events have evolved over the decades

    How Doctor Who events have evolved over the decades

    Over the past few years, we've had the chance to attend all manner of Doctor Who events. It's fair to say that the whole world of conventions and interactive experiences has evolved considerably. From Dimensions 2005 to VworpCon in 2018, and The Crash of the Elysium to Escape Hunt: A Dalek Awakens, we've been very fortunate to have attended a whole host of different events. They have covered different sizes of venues, different types of guests, and offered a wealth of differing experiences.  This week, Christian Cawley and James McLean discuss how Doctor Who events have evolved over the decades. We also discuss A Dalek Awakens, an escape room experience in Norwich, which James was fortunate enough to visit recently. Shownotes Podcast: Previewing VworpCon (2018) Podcast: Tom MacRae tells us about The Crash of the Elysium (2012) Podcast: James McLean attends The Crash of the Elysium (2012) Recommendations: A Dalek Awakens RoboCop: Rogue City (videogame) Shogun (Disney+) Get in touch If you subscribe to our podcast, please head to Apple Podcasts to leave a rating and review.
