Missing episodes – it’s something of a grokking topic for Doctor Who fans. One minute they’re lost, the next they turn up.

Indeed, even for the Kasterborous PodKast (with a “K”) we recently unearthed lost material that we had intended to bring to you today… only for it to vanish from the K Towers Matrix Databanks when it came to editing.

Fortunately, thanks to former Ugandan despot Idi Amin (unlikely as it may seem) and various BBC personnel (getting silly now, isn’t it?) we at least have the fascinating discussion about the likelihood of 90 missing Doctor Who episodes turning up.

What’s more, we even has references to alien invasions and the four minute warning.

So, click play below to listen to Christian and James discussing the whole bizarre saga as it is at this point in time…

James, Christian and Brian are back with another podKast, this week discussing just who John Hurt is, and what his “Doctor” might mean to the series.

Yes, it’s more of the 50th anniversary speculation that has consumed fandom over the past few weeks (Matt Smith’s departure aside) and the podKast team certainly have a lot to say on the matter.

As you may know, there are several theories as to who or what John Hurt is playing in the anniversary special. Is he the Time War Doctor? Does he precede the William Hartnell incarnation?

Or is he the Valeyard?

The post The John Hurt PodKast appeared first on Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews.

WOW! What a weekend.

Regular listeners to the Kasterborous podKast (with a “K) might have been expecting The John Hurt PodKast this week, but thanks to a leaked memo forcing the BBC’s hand over the past couple of days, we’re putting that podKast back a week to discuss the shock news of Matt Smith’s departure from Doctor Who.

That’s right, the popular Eleventh Doctor is close to the end, even if it may not be at Trenzalore, and this week’s hosts James McLean and Christian Cawley have plenty to muse over.

To start off with, there’s Matt Smith’s recent haircut and the potential continuity issues this might bring. There’s the possibility of female Doctors and young Doctors, older actors and even – for the brave among you – the reformatting of the show, 1970-style, into running with an ensemble cast.

As you’ll hear, Steven Moffat (if he’s staying around…) has plenty of ways in which to refresh things for the new Doctor.

Oh and finally – a big hello to our listener, Don from Philly!

In this week’s slightly-later-than-usual podKast with a “K”, the full team of Christian, Brian and James discuss the highs and lows of Doctor Who Series 7, comparing all episodes from The Bells of Saint John through to The Name of the Doctor.

What will prove particularly interesting is just how the episodes are judged at the end, when we apply a 1960s Saturday tea time Jukebox Jury “Hit or Miss” rule to each…

Will The Name of the Doctor prove to be our favourite episode? Will The Rings of Akhaten turn out to be still loved, two months on?

Could it be that only four episodes are unanimously admired by the team?

Oh and one last thing: it would seem that James’ rant in the Nightmare in Silver podKast has proved rather popular – someone, somewhere has been sharing it, to such an extent that we’ve seen a massive number of listens (three times the usual) for that single podKast!

So welcome to all of our new podKast subscribers, we hope you stick around!

We’ve fast-tracked this week’s Kasterborous PodKast (with a “K”) for our loyal listeners and newcomers to the site to hear our thoughts on The Name of the Doctor and John Hurt…

This week, Christian Cawley and James McLean celebrate the end of Doctor Who Series 7, chatting affectionately about the finale. But what did they really think about The Name of the Doctor? Did it make sense?

We also discuss the confirmation from the BBC that Series 8 is “go” (although we don’t know in what shape or form as yet) and bring you our usual weekly recommendations.

It’s a full house this week as the Kasterborous podKast (with a “K”) team is reunited for the penultimate episode of Doctor Who Series 7, Nightmare in Silver.

You might like to place your bets now as to how the team come out in support or criticism of the episode, but one thing is for sure – we’ve got new Cybermen whether we like it or not!

Also up for discussion this week is Steven “The Once Grand Moff” Moffat’s revelation about Series 8, the accidental release of The Name of the Doctor on DVD/Blu-ray and a general chat about the finale.

It’s a two-hander this week with James McLean providing company for Christian Cawley – and you, dear listener – as we look in-depth at a few important Doctor Who topics.

First and foremost, we discuss The Crimson Horror. You should really have worked that out from the title of this week’s podKast (with a “K”), of course.

Following this, Christian makes a revelation – that he feels there is something not quite right with Doctor Who Series 7b…

We also chew over the recent rumours concerning Steven Moffat’s continued presence as Doctor Who Executive Producer as well as spending a few moments on the end of shooting on the 50th anniversary episode.

Perhaps most importantly, we want our listeners to tell us what they know about any cinema screenings of the 50th anniversary 3D episode. Our initial research into which cinemas and chains will be taking part have so far drawn a blank… Get in touch using our news contact page.

This week’s recommendations include The Mind of Evil, the special edition DVD release for June.

Christian Cawley, Brian Terranova and James McLean are back with another podKast (with a “K”) in which they discuss the most recent episode of Doctor Who, Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS!

In addition, we have chat about broken toasters (don’t worry, it’s relevant – sort of), the “fan TARDIS”, which classic serials you would show a nuWho viewer, and our usual recommendations.

It’s podKast time again, and as befits such a download while Doctor Who is on air, we’re discussing last week’s episode Hide as well as finding out what Brian Terranova has been up to recently (turns out he’s making a fan film!).

There’s also room for discussion about #Spidergate, the mispronunciation which splintered Doctor Who fandom on Sunday, as well as a few words about State of Decay, this week’s recommendation.

There are no spoilers, but we’ll also be looking forward to Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS using our traditional “yes or no” system of questioning editor Christian Cawley.

It’s time for the Kasterborous podKast (with a “K”) to turn its attention to Doctor Who‘s triumphant return of the Ice Warriors in Cold War.

Once again without Brian Terranova, this is another two-hander with James McLean and Christian Cawley mulling over the Mark Gatiss episode, discussing the casting and the monster redesign.

But we’re not going to simply talk about the new episode – after all, the 50th anniversary episode has been shooting in London recently, and Paul McGann has been making “come and get me” noises to BBC Wales.

Oh, and then there’s the issue of scheduling. Brought to you in an unscheduled rant.
