John Halstead, voice of the Monoids (specifically the especially thick Monoid 2 and the rebellious Monoid 3) in The Ark has never been interviewed about his time on Doctor Who. He's not even done any conventions (but he has done one signing). John likes the "f" word and uses it liberally and it has been left intact herein. So be warned. This is a colourful one. And it has never been heard before. Worth the wait though - honestly, this one is GREAT fun! John should have his own show.

And so we get to the final showdown on Refusis but there are still plenty of questions to be ansered. Will the humans find the bomb? Can inter-species co-operation be fistered by a fruity-voiced alien? And where to the Monoids put their food when they are eating? Fortunately D Mark Aldridge is on hadn to provide some insight, but with your host 2-1 up going into the final furlong, can he stay the victorious course or will he snatch defeat from the mouth of victory. If victory has a mouth. Unlike the Monoids.

An unusual move for the Hartnell era, but business usual in Podcastville. The crew have moved forward in time but not space - so has everything changed beyond recognition, or will there still be enough good here that guest Mark Aldridge will be able to choose a popular Favourite Thing? And if he does, will he keep it a secret or accidentally give away his big plan?

A plague on both our contributors as guest Mark Aldridge and host Toby Hadoke have to see if their enthusiam for this episode of Doctor Who is infectious. But will they display a commonality of symptoms as they take the temperature of the installment and assess it for signs of good acting from pater Purves, the encouraging presence of Michael Sheard and a real spike in activity come the cliffhanger. It's contagious!

The podcasters went in two by two to weather the storm of Doctor Who opinion about this story. The Ark seems to be no-one's favourite entry in the canon but this fact baffles both your host and this edition's special guest, Mark Aldridge, an academic (so he'll be clever) who also has knowledge outside of the Whoniverse being, as he is, a huge expert on Agatha Christie. So let's apply those little grey cells to the best things about this instalment (one of which is grey itself - and is certainly memorable: and they never forget... ;))...

Susan's all on film, one of the sets goes missing, and Sydney Newman is not impressed with one of the regulars: all in a week's work for those heady pioneering days. The TARDIS crew argue about chaging history, blissfully unaware the history - well, television history - is what they are in the process of making themselves.

This blow-by-blow account covers the making of the second episode of The Aztecs and introduces us to two of its key cast members, one at the beginning of his TV career, and one very near the end of his.

Well, the River's about to run dry on this one but not before podcaster Richard Smith chooses his favourite things about the episode. Will he and host Toby Hadoke agree or are they in some weird dream world where nothing is as it seems?

Happy New Year. Our resolution is to read more: so where better to go than the biggest library in the universe. Podcaster Richard Smith chooses his favourite things but will they be found on the same shelf as those of your host? Or are they not remotely on the same page?

Oh, and if you're listening to this on the day that it is released, please don't forget to wish Toby a happy birthday!
