    Introducing the 2nd Doctor

    This time Phil and Scott look at how Patrick Troughton was introduced to the world in 1966 with episode one of The Power of The Daleks.

    With a new take on the Doctor, how effective was this episode in introducing a new actor to the role and what was the impact this had on the show? Along the way both Phil and Scott take conversational diversions to the BBC Shop, the Children's Film Foundation and Screen Test.

    Introducing The First Doctor

    In an occasional series, Phil and Scott are discussing the episodes of Doctor Who that introduced us to a new Doctor. And to kick things off, they start right at the very beginning with William Hartnell in An Unearthly Child.

    With a lot to set up and with the very first episode being filmed twice, Phil and Scott look at the pilot and the transmitted episodes and how effective were either of them in introducing the Doctor to the world.

    Also, in the news, Varada Sethu is officially announced as the 15th Doctor's companion for season 2 and that she will be travelling alongside Millie Gibson!

    Who's He? at The Movies | Night of The Demon

    This time Phil takes a look at one of his favourite British horror movies, Night of the Demon starring Dana Andrews.

    In a tale of witchcraft, hairy demons and disbelieving square jawed scientists, this M.R. James classic ghost story is bought to the silver screen in a film that Phil has been fascinated with since he was a child.

    Horror of Fang Rock - Review

    This episode Phil and Scott settled down to watch the new and shiny version of Horror of Fang Rock from the recent Season 15 blu-ray collection. New effects, screaming ladies and plenty of fog is the order of the day with Tom Baker and Louise Jameson on fine form.

    They also go through the number of changes made to the special effects (spoilers ahoy!) and Phil takes Scott through a quick potted history of producer Graham Williams and touches upon how awkward Tom Baker was towards him.

    But what's this? The BBC also release a new trailer for the upcoming series of Doctor Who, along with all 8 episode titles. Of course, the lads talk about that as well.

    In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast....

    Review - The Caves of Androzani

    What has taken these two so long to get around to talking about this story? In episode in which Phil has the occasional disagreement with his microphone stand, Paul and he discuss The Caves of Androzani, Peter Davison's final story in the role of the Doctor. While considered an all time classic by just about everyone, will Phil and Paul find fault? And just why didn't the Doctor take his medicine early?

    The news is also covered as we get Paul's take on the method in which the new series is being released on iPlayer first and their reaction to Steven Moffat returning to write for Doctor Who.

    But they don't talk about the new trailer as this was recorded way in advance of that!

    Mar 17 2024

    In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast....

    Review - Flatline

    Phil and Scott decided to revisit the Peter Capaldi era of Doctor Who with Flatline, a story that has little bit of significance for Phil as this was the first episode of Doctor Who that he watched with Scott way back in 2014! But how does this story hold up for both of them after all this time and how does Clara's story arc of wanting to be the Doctor feel to them both?

    Also, in the news Doctor Who is back on our screens on 11th May but with a twist that will upset purists!

  • Who's He? Podcast 452 | The Celestial Toymaker Animation Review

    Review - The Celestial Toymaker Animation

    In a first for this podcast, we attended a world premiere! Yes, Phil & Scott visited the BFI on London's glittering South Bank to watch the freshly animated The Celestial Toymaker, starring William Hartnell, Peter Purves, Jackie Lane and Michael Gough.

    In a return to the animation style used for The Web of Fear, fandom was once again up in arms at what was perceived as a step backwards for animating missing episodes. But did that 90 second trailer for The Celestial Toymaker do this project any justice? And how did Phil and Scott feel after they watched all four animated episodes? The answer may surprise you!
