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.

What are you waiting for? Use one of these three ways to download and enjoy this week’s podKast now!

2. Listen with the “pop out” player above, which also allows you to download the podKast to your computer.

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.

So, dear listener, the time has come once again for you to press play or download the podKast, using the button-pressy thing below or by following the instructions at the end of this update.

The post Journey to the Centre of the PodKast! appeared first on Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews.

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.

The post The PodKast that HIDEs! appeared first on Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews.

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.

The full Kasterborous podKast (with a “K”) team returns this week to discuss The Rings of Akhaten, the latest episode in Doctor Who Series 7!

Along with the main feature, we’ll be discussing Brian Terranova’s fan film shoot, James McLean will give us his thoughts on Clara’s character development and Christian Cawley will give vague answers to questions about Cold War, next week’s episode that sees the return of the mighty Ice Warriors!

We also cover the recent Sun-fuelled ratings controversy and Waris Hussein’s feelings about the “sexualisation” of the Doctor.

It’s time for this week’s Kasterborous podKast with a “k” in which Christian Cawley and James McLean discuss the amazing goings on in the world of Doctor Who fandom over the past 7 days.

Recorded on Sunday (and therefore too early to be able to talk about this photo), the podKast this week reviews The Bells of Saint John, speculates about the 50th anniversary while getting excited at the prospect of David Tennant’s return, hopes for an appearance by Christopher Eccleston while trying to suggest ways in which former Doctors might appear and also suggests some recommendations for you to enjoy, from Withnail & I to the extras on the new DVD of The Visitation.

Sadly we’re without Brian Terranova this week, but hope to have him reinstated for next week’s podKast.

From now on we will be sharing our shownotes – basically references and links that we have used in the creation of the current podKast.

The post The Bells of Saint John: PODKASTED! appeared first on Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews.

Following news that Steven Moffat considers his time on Doctor Who to be closer to the end than the beginning, and that he – like Matt Smith – takes things one year at a time, could it be that we are approaching the end of an era?

That’s the angle for this week’s Kasterborous podKast (with a “K”) in which Christian Cawley and James McLean discuss the current situation, with added recollection of common Moffat tropes (a companion met at several times throughout her life, for instance) and the recent departure of Caro Skinner thrown in for good measure.

We also look forward to the Spoonheads and The Bells of Saint John, and spend a bit of time chatting about what we’ve been enjoying recently in our recommendations section.

The post The “End of an Era?” PodKast appeared first on Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews.

Hi there, Kasterborites! Welcome to this week’s exciting podKast (with a “K”) in which we cover everything from crappy PR statements that talk down to us to fielding questions for a coming chat with a Doctor Who scriptwriting prodigy…

But don’t let any of that disturb you from your baked beans and chips, your soap operas and your wooly jumpers.

Instead, we’ll leave you wishing that you too could be attending an event featuring Terrance Dicks, Philip Martin, Andrew Smith and Keith Temple, in which the guests talk about their most popular episodes, interspersed with clips and fielding questions from the adoring audience.

Yes, next Sunday is Vworp 5:Writercon, so along with our chat about the shock resignation of Caro Skinner as Doctor Who Executive Producer and the recent Series 7b press launch, we’ll be talking to Gareth Kavanagh, organiser of the event!

Dear Kasterborite, it is March, Doctor Who is back within a matter of days, so to get you in the mood here is the latest Kasterborous podKast (with a “K”)!

The full team of Christian Cawley, James McLean and Brian Terranova is on board this week to discuss a selection of topical and interesting subjects.

If you’re intrigued by the possibility of former companions turning up in the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special – then so are we! We’re also excited by the Ice Warriors, although rueful that the great Russell T Davies won’t be involved in the anniversary year.

Have you been watching Broadchurch? James, Brian and Christian offer their thoughts on the new show starring David Tennant and The Eleventh Hour‘s Olivia Colman (along with David Bradley and Arthur Darvill) and for one week only we’ve introduced a new drinking game!

All you need to do is prepare your favourite alcoholic beverage and take a swig each time you hear the input of Time Tot Erin-Rose Cawley, who makes several unscheduled appearances this week.

How will you be listening? There are three options for you to enjoy the podKast:

1. Use the player in the top right of each page on Kasterborous.
2. Listen with the “pop out” player above, which also allows you to download the podKast to your computer.
