Too Much Information 5.4 - The Snows of Terror 1:12:43

1d ago1:12:43

1:12:43

Another episode of Doctor Who gets the deep dive treatment. This one again has no William Hartnell action whatsoever, and features a scene that would be unliklely to make it into a modern iteration of the show. Its main guest star gets the biographical treatment, as does an actor who appears at the bottom of the credits in this single instalment an…

Happy Times and Places 85.6 - The Sensorites 6 1:22:49

9d ago1:22:49

1:22:49

Well, this has been rather rewarding: a lesser known story has proved to have all sorts of interesting elements. And there's been some Patreon feedback too, so before embarking on the final desperate venture the listeners provide some interesting insights. This final episode has it all - new characters, some interesting plot developments, and a bit…

Happy Times and Places 85.5 - The Sensorites 5 48:17

16d ago48:17

48:17

Oh, a rare thing - where the episode title is the cliffhanger (yes, the Second Elder is kidnapped too but that really happened last week). There's a vitally iomportant moment in this humble story, as noticed by special guest Steve Lyons. Toby however, disappears down too many actor related rabbit holes to notice because he is an idiot. Still, there…

Indefinable Magic 33 - Halloween Special: Behind the Sofa 38:44

23d ago38:44

38:44

A topical podcast! Blimey! As it is Halloween why not have a little think about why Doctor Who is scary, and why that is comehow acceptable for children. What is it about us that has a need to be frightened, and why does this siully show have such a repuation for scares? Happy Halloween - hopefully this podcast is a treat rather that a trick. #doct…

Happy Times and Places 85.4 - The Sensorites 4 44:18

30d ago44:18

44:18

Well, the crew are in hot water (because Ian has been drinking poisoned water) and so they need to call upon a montage to help them to save the day. There's confusion afoot in Sensorites-ville, with one of them planning murder in the First Degree - or is that Second Degree? Hmm, not sure, we will have to look at what kind of sash the murder is wear…

Happy Times and Places 85.3 - The Sensorites 3 51:37

1M ago51:37

51:37

So... we move (very slowly, it is The Sensorites after all) from the space ship to the Sense Sphere but all is not what it seems on the peaceful planet. Some resent the travellers, and there's a danger so hidden that nobody - bar perhaps everyone watching the episode - will ever guess what it is. This under-celebrated Hartnell tale has charms all o…

1
Happy Times and Places 85.2 - The Sensorites 2 53:44

1M ago53:44

53:44

They may be Unwilling Warriors but they're still a terrifyung prospect - silent if not deadly, the Sensorites have to walk very slowly round the spaceship lest they run out of corridor. This story has a bad reputation and yet there's much to recommend about this : so will Steve Lyons (Doctor Who writer of note and wit) choose the same thing to cele…

1
Hapy Times and Places 85.1 - The Sensorites 1 54:54

2M ago54:54

54:54

Oh no. It's the story that everyone doing a Doctor Who marathon experiences their first stumble during. Indeed, it's the point where a number of people bail. Poor old The Sensorites. Even its advocate for this podcast, top Doctor Who writer Steve Lyons, confesses that it his least favourite story of the season. So join Steve as he guides your host …

Happy Times and Places 84.1 - Planet of the Ood 1:16:20

2M ago1:16:20

1:16:20

Remember - Toby Hadoke's Time Travels is currently weekly, not twice a week as is usual: normal service will be resumed in October. Academic and stand-up comedian Oliver Double chooses perhaps the least celebrated slice of Doctor/Donna Who, from a time when the show was riding high in the ratings, in the public eye... everywhere. But what five thin…

1
Too Much Information 5.3 - The Screaming Jungle 1:00:27

2M ago1:00:27

1:00:27

A gentle reminder that this month, Toby Hadoke's Time Travels will be weekly as opposed to fortnightly whilst batteries are recharged and general maintenance is carried out. The next key of Marinus is hiding in a jar in an old man's laboratory, but it's a jungle out there... and jungle that is trying to get in. Before the episode can be transmitted…

1
Happy Times and Places 83.7 - The Ambassadors of Death 7 1:19:19

2M ago1:19:19

1:19:19

For August and September Toby Hadoke's Time Travels will be released once a week. The twice weekly releases will resume in October. Thanks for your patience. Here we go chums. What a rewarding experience this has been. But can The Ambassdors of Death contnue to surprise, and to break the mould, and have host Toby pull off a rare victory? Or will th…

1
Happy Times and Places 83.6 - The Ambassadors of Death 6 50:22

3M ago50:22

50:22

The fortnightly releases of Toby Hadoke's Time Travels will recommence in October. Thanks for indulging the current battery recharge which is well needed x The Third Doctor's first trip into space (eat that Colony!) enables us to see the faces behind the masks and the ... whatever it is behind the Venetian (or maybe Martian) blinds. We have somethi…

1
Happy Times and Places 83.5 - The Ambassadors of Death 5 51:47

3M ago51:47

51:47

Toby Hadoke's Time Travels will be weekly during August and September- the twice weekly releases will return in October. So, the story steps up a pace: beginnning, as it does, with the death of another major character and having Liz held hostage and the Doctor jetting off into space. Will his journey be as wayward as the story itself is often writt…

1
Happy Times and Places 83.4 - The Ambassadors of Death 4 1:01:38

3M ago1:01:38

1:01:38

Toby Hadoke's Time Travels is reducing its release rate to once a week during August and September because it is very tired and overworked and needs a holiday (it won't get one, but at least this'll take the pressure off a bit). The plot gets thicker and thicker, but not as thick as Taltalian's accent... and thereby hangs a tale (but perhaps one th…

1
Happy Times and Places 83.3 - The Ambassadors of Death 3 1:08:20

3M ago1:08:20

1:08:20

Just a reminder that Happy Times and Places will be released once a week (rather than the usual twice) during August and September. Holidays innit? Let's hope there are no technical problems with this episode (there were for part two, sorry) but it wouldn't be a surprise if there were. This story seems compelled to make itself somehow unreachable, …

1
Happy Times and Places 83.2 - The Ambassadors of Death 2 1:00:33

4M ago1:00:33

1:00:33

There is much to love about this story, but the majority of fandom has never quite got to grips with it. This episode might help to explain why - it's a tricky one to watch because of the diffciulties restoring the pictures, and there are a couple of elements which sit awkwardly amonst the show's canon (the vanishing of the tape, Bessie's forcefiel…

1
Happy Times and Places 83.1 - The Ambassadors of Death 1 1:17:56

4M ago1:17:56

1:17:56

Now then, this is one of your host's favourite stories - one he thinks is probably the most underrated story in the whole canon. It was always rather apologetically dealt with in write-ups and fan word-of-mouth was that it was a bit of a mess. So Toby came to it quite late and with low expectations - and was bowled over by it. And it is a love that…

1
Indefinable Magic Bite Size 8 - Preparing for the Moment (after Empire of Death) 45:24

4M ago45:24

45:24

Endings are hard aren't they? So hard that it's taken a while to get this one out. It is all explained (which is more than can be said for some elements of the latest series) and, hopefully, not too disappointing. Resolving story arcs is very much a modern series thing... but can Doctor Who ever really satisfy as it does, after all... never end? Th…

1
Happy Times and Places Omnibus - Attack of the Cybermen 2:28:24

4M ago2:28:24

2:28:24

Robin Bunce, Cambridge academic and writer, whose father Roger was a legnedary BBC cameraman who worked with most of the classic Doctors, has chosen Attack of the Cybermen to celebrate in this positively inclined podcast series. What will he choose to celebrate about this contiunuity rich and somewhat violent story? And will host Toby Hadoke choose…

1
Happy Times and Places Omnibus - Marco Polo 5:51:06

4M ago5:51:06

5:51:06

One of the longest Doctor Who stories - both episodes-wise and in terms of real time within the fiction - gets one of the longest podcasts. This really is a trek - and one without a compass because there are no moving pictures at all from Marco Polo. But we have a reliable guide : J Jeremy Bentham, surely the elder stateman of Doctor Who fandom. He…

1
Too Much Information 5.2 - The Velvet Web 1:09:07

4M ago1:09:07

1:09:07

The TARDIS team embark upon their quest for the Keys of Marinus and land in a place where everything seems to be perfect. An inventive, if slight, episode, this one features some interesting techniques employed by the prodcution team to pull off the unusual demands of the script. It is also notable because we never actually saw the original, 1964 v…

1
Happy Times and Places 82.4 - The Stones of Blood 4 53:44

4M ago53:44

53:44

And so we get stoned for one last time. So stoned we go on a trip to hyperspace for a complete change in style and content from the Hammer Horror of the early instalmnents. Often seen as the weaker part of the story, what will Steve Cranford like about it, and will he be able to convince host Toby Hadoke (and indeed, you)? Please support these podc…

1
Happy Times and Places 82.3 - The Stones of Blood 3 51:07

5M ago51:07

51:07

It's cold outside but there's plenty of atmosphere as The Stones of Blood enters what is commonly known as its hyperspace phase. The story takes an odd turn but there's much to talk about - from matador hi-jinks to imprisoned Wirrn via, of course, the doomed campers. Will Steve Cranford and your host go for the obvious choice of favorite thing here…

1
Happy Times and Places 82.2 - The Stones of Blood 2 58:33

5M ago58:33

58:33

Pack your sausage sandwiches and your thermos - but don't forget your truncheon as we might need it if we want to get to Plymouth. Photo ID? Well, there are a load of pictures to choose from in the priest hole - that's if we don't end up getting stoned before we start. It's all go in this skull smashing instalment : but will Steve Cranford choose t…

1
Happy Times and Places 82.1 - The Stones of Blood 1 51:37

5M ago51:37

51:37

The 100th Doctor Who story - maybe we should have held out and had it as the 100th Happy Times and Places! Gah - there's always clarity after the event! Anyway, this has been one that has never quite done it for yoiur host, Toby Hadoke: and he is open about this at the start... but of course, the whole point of the podcast is to get a special guest…

1
Too Much Information 5.1 - The Sea of Death 1:29:27

5M ago1:29:27

1:29:27

So, after the epic journey through Marco Polo let's fire the starting pistol on Doctor Who's next quest. We've gone from historical back to science-fiction, with the return of the writer who has proved himself a boon to the prodcution team. But it's fair to say it's an episode during which quite a lot goes wrong, and there were a few hiccups on the…

1
Indefinable Magic Bite Size 7 - Who's Afraid of the Big Bad - Woolf? (after The Legend of Ruby Sunday) 40:30

5M ago40:30

40:30

Not much about the episode (The Legend of Ruby Sunday) in this one really - as is Indefinable Magic's wont, it wanders of on a tangeant all of its own. This time the inspiration comes from that joy we feel when an element from the show's past comes back to reconnect us to our childhoods. It also takes in some of the convoluted ways these returns ha…

1
Happy Times and Places 81.2 - Resurrection of the Daleks 2 1:34:51

5M ago1:34:51

1:34:51

Ed Stradling revels in the many deaths that Eric Saward serves up in this very gruesome but highly entertaining story. Or is it a violent aberration that is too grim for a family fantasy show? Food for thought and for chat in the second part of this feature length adventure that is actually the same length as normal but doesn't seem like it is. Ple…

1
Indefinable Magic Bite Size 6 - You've Had This Place Redecorated... (after Rogue) 43:31

5M ago43:31

43:31

So, what to we do when we don't like an aspect of a Doctor Who story? Well, we are Doctor Who fans, so we behave utterly rationally of course. For this episode of Indefinable Magic, the way in which we are drawn to criticise the thing we love comes into the spotlight. Is there such a thing as objectively good and bad, and who has the monopoly on sa…

1
Happy Times and Places 81.1 - Resurrection of the Daleks 1 1:40:03

6M ago1:40:03

1:40:03

This one has been done as originally broadcast - as a pair of feature length episodes. So it's two things per instlalment that have to be chosen by special guest Ed Stradling. It's a story controversial for its tone and content, and one that would have an impact and influence on the future of the show. And for your host and Ed, it's one that they b…

1
Indefinable Magic Bite Size 5 - Bad Influencers (after Dot and Bubble) 43:31

6M ago43:31

43:31

Remember - these podcasts are not intended as reviews or value judgements on the latest episodes of Doctor Who. They are audio essays based upon some aspect of the story and weaved into a - hopefully - thoughtful and sometimes humourous monolgue. Dot and Bubble could provoke discussions about all sorts of different subjects, but for this edition of…

Happy Times and Places OMNIBUS - The Seeds of Doom 4:19:37

6M ago4:19:37

4:19:37

That fantastic documentary maker Chris Chapman only happens to have chosen one you host Toby Hadoke's favourite stories : so this is very much a love-in as the two of them get green fingered - pulling out the weeds, nurturing the precious components and displaying the glrouius blooms of The Seeds of Doom for all you listeners. But will they agree o…

1
Indefinable Magic Bite Size 4 - Fear Herself (after 73 Yards) 37:48

6M ago37:48

37:48

The past and the future both catch up with us quicker than we'd like. Toby's response to 73 Yards is a contemplation of fear and just how Doctor Who is scary. It also examines the nature of the unexplained and has some personal recollections of childhood fears that reflect the themes and methods of this sparse and spine-chillling instalment. As eve…

1
Happy Times and Places 80.2 - The Doctor Falls 2:02:56

6M ago2:02:56

2:02:56

Good Lord. Look at the size of this one Doctor. Jonn Elledge - who has a book out right now - has chosen Peter Capaldi's pre-regeneration story which says goodbye to Bill and Nardole (well, for a bit), has two Masters vying for our attention (not to mention three different kinds of Cybermen) and arms its humans with exploding apples. Laughter, tear…

1
Indefinable Magic Bite Size 3 - More Than Just Words (after Boom) 31:03

6M ago31:03

31:03

He's not the Messiah, Steven Moffat, and sometimes he is a very naughty boy. But he's definitely a writer whose work deserves a closer look - an explosive (ahem) talent whose scripts can be mined (ahem, ahem) for subtext and jokes (boom boom!). But what did Boom have to say about faith? And should it be taken at face value? Or is there actually mor…

1
Happy Times and Places 80.1 - World Enough and Time 1:26:30

6M ago1:26:30

1:26:30

Right, come on Hadoke, do some new series stuff were you don't have the comfort blanket of 50 years of acquired trivia. Fortunately this edition's special guest - columnist and writer Jonn Elledge - is smart and interesting so will make up for any of you host's many deficiencies as they look at John Simm in disguise, Mondassian Cybermen, and a big …

1
Indefinable Magic Bite Size 2 - Play On... (after The Devil's Chord) 30:44

6M ago30:44

30:44

After a hiatus you get two episodes on top of each other. So it seems only appropraite to do the same... Indefinable Magic Bite Size are immediate reactions to the latest Doctor Who episodes, but instead of being straightforward reviews they consider an aspect of the fresh adventure and use it to examine life, fandom and Doctor Who in general. Toni…

Indefinable Magic Bite Size 1 - Mewling and Puking (after Space Babies) 27:50

6M ago27:50

27:50

Welcome back. Toby Hadoke's Time Travels has been on holiday. Thanks for bearing with its much needed rest and recuperation. But now... it has returned with something brand new. Indefinable Magic, whimsical essays based on some aspect of the show, has decided to turn its attention to the new Doctor Who episodes as they are broadcast. There will be …

Happy Times and Places 79.4 - The Greatest Show in the Galaxy 4 1:30:43

7M ago1:30:43

1:30:43

In its attempts to entertain you or die this edition of Happy Times and Places does go on a bit. And interestingly, despite this being a much loved story in Hadoke Towers, your host struggles with this finale - and in this broadcast, does so at length - whilst trying to remain upbeat about its intent. Will guest Connor Adkins have similar reservati…

1
Happy Times and Places 79.3 - The Greatest Show in the Galaxy 3 1:19:05

7M ago1:19:05

1:19:05

Here we are then, lots of festive fun for Doctor Who in this episode broadcast just after Christmas 1988: suicide, strangulation, the murder of a teenage boy, lycanthropy! Blimey. So, lots to enjoy if you're minded to splatter your tinsel with blood. But which particular aspect of this exciting epsiode will particularly impress guest Connor J Adkin…

1
Happy Times and Places 79.2 - The Greatest Show in the Galaxy 2 59:59

7M ago59:59

59:59

Artist Connor Adkins has chosen this partcular story to celebrate, but he doesn't need to do too much to make host Toby Hadoke eulogise this one - it's long been a favourite. All the fun of the fair (or all the curse of the circus) is to be had in this spooky and surreal slice of Sylvester. Script editor Andrew Cartmel (whose latest Vinyl Detectove…

1
Happy Times and Places 79.1 - The Greatest Show in the Galaxy 1 1:05:26

7M ago1:05:26

1:05:26

To tie in with the release of Andrew Cartmel's latest novel - released on March 19th in the UK and April 9th in the US (by Titan Books) - he's gusting on this edition to respond to host Toby Hadoke and guest Connor J Adkins' reactions to The Greatest Show in the Galaxy. This one has always been something of a favourite of Toby's so it's a bit of a …

1
Happy Times and Places 78.4 - The Celestial Toymaker 4 53:25

7M ago53:25

53:25

The Celestial Toymaker puts guest Kieran Highman and host Toby Hadoke to the Final Test: which is episode four of this story which - and the podcast has been very honest with you about this - Toby has tended to find a bit of a struggle. But with Kieran as a plaything, will he realise that the toybox is actually full of joy? Please support these pod…

1
Happy Times and Places 78.3 - The Celestial Toymaker 3 48:00

7M ago48:00

48:00

This was recorded very much in between all sorts of other things but everyone seems to quite enjoy it when it's all a bit shambolic so nopthing has been done to hide that. Let's be honest, The Celestial Toymaker itself is a bit shambolic - and host Toby Hadoke has gone on record before to say that this episode might be the worst instalment of Class…

1
Happy Times and Places 78.2 -The Celestial Toymaker 2 47:40

8M ago47:40

47:40

And we're on to the second instalment of The Celestial Toymaker, with doughty advocate Kieran Highman doing his best to eprsuade host Toby hadoke that this is an underappreciated story. It is also, it has to be said, a controversial instalment, and this idsm picked ovr in some (and some qould say excruciating) detail. Ah well - we mean well. We're …

1
Happy Times and Places 78.1 - The Celestial Toymaker 1 57:03

8M ago57:03

57:03

Well, as all tongues are a-wagging about the new animation of The Celestial Toymaker, here is a podcast recorded just before the news of its resurrection was announced, which takes us back to the source material. Now then - and here's the catch - this is a happy-clappy podcast about how wondeful Doctor who is, and the last time you host Toby Hadoke…

1
Happy Times and Places OMNIBUS - Black Orchid 1:22:22

8M ago1:22:22

1:22:22

Steve O'Brien, cool sci-fi columnist of many years standing, offers his somewhat uncool opinion that Black Orchid has more to offer than a screwdriver and Peter Davison taking a wicket. And so here, in one tidy package (with new opening and closing credits, natch: why would Toby make it easy for himself?), is a ripping adventure in topping time and…

1
Happy Times and Places 77.1 - Sleep No More 1:32:21

8M ago1:32:21

1:32:21

Host Toby Hadoke keep putting off the more recent stories becasue they intimidate him: he hasn;t watched then several dozen times like he has the Classic Series. However - he has bitten the bullet and stayed awake through the whole of this Capaldi standalone instalment... one that has a number of unique features. It's generally considered a bit of …

Happy Times and Places Omnibus - Silver Nemesis 1:57:12

8M ago1:57:12

1:57:12

Dalek and Cyber expert Gavin Rymill advocates for one of Doctor Who's less celebrated adventures : but one which comes with a lot of expectation due to it being an anniversary story. This one has it all - Nazis, Cybermen, Time Lord secrets, and Skinheads who don't like social workers. So, with this being a positive podcast, will gavin and host Toby…

1
Too Much Information 4.7 - Assassin at Peking 1:13:48

8M ago1:13:48

1:13:48

And so the epic that is Marco Polo comes to a close. There's a pre-filmed fight, a new cast member who has worked with the director before, and a few attempts at a closing scene that don't make it into the finshed episode (which is the first instalment of Doctor Who not to end with a cliffhanger). It is also Waris Hussein's last contact with the pr…
