A little later than usual, our weekly podcast features Christian Cawley exploring the latest in classic TV news, publications, and film.
This week, we look at Cutaway Comics' already funded Indiegogo campaign for the second phase of its Doctor Who-adjacent Gods and Monsters series. There is also news of the AI Michael Parkinson (we jest not) and some remastered classic Sherlock Holmes movies from the Cricklewood days.
Oh, and we've also managed to shoehorn more Led Zeppelin news into proceedings.

Hi! This week's podcast covers the confusion over Doctor Who Series 16, take a look at the upcoming Beatles documentary, and tell you about a missing episode of Thunderbirds, an unused edit, that has been rediscovered...
Looking at the steady stream of newly recovered TV shows and movies long thought "lost" is pretty interesting right now. Maybe we've seen the last Doctor Who discovery, maybe not, but archive media is continuing to be a theme of the weekly podcast.
This week's episode once again features Christian Cawley hosting solo, and went out first on Patreon. We've got additional, supplemental editions of the show planned, with interviews already recorded, and a giveaway coming up too.

Christian Cawley brings you the latest news of upcoming releases in the world of classic TV and cinema.
We're trying something new this week, delivering details of some forthcoming Blu-ray, DVD, CD, and table top RRPGs that we think you might be interested in. This includes The Box of Delights, an audiobook featuring the voice and thoughts of Douglas Adams, and an immense Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band boxset.
After all, just because something is no longer in production doesn't mean it is dead.

We've had a few weeks' rest and recuperation but we're now back with a rare pleasure: former Doctor Who producer Philip Hinchcliffe (1974-1977)!
There is a bit of a story behind this one. Back in 2018, Gareth Kavanagh invited James McLean and Christian Cawley to do some live podcasting and panel interviews at the VworpCon event, held at the PrintWorks in Manchester.
Philip Hinchcliffe was supposed to be one of several guests on a panel discussing the TARDIS and its evolution throughout Doctor Who's history, but on the day the dice didn't roll quite as planned.
As a result, James ended up with just Philip Hinchcliffe, along with a few technical challenges. However, thanks to AI audio fixes and judicious editing by Christian, we've ended up with quite an interesting - and rare - chat with Philip, who gives some quite unique answers and stories on a topic that he doesn't usually get drawn on.
Enjoy!

Over the past few years, we've had the chance to attend all manner of Doctor Who events. It's fair to say that the whole world of conventions and interactive experiences has evolved considerably.
From Dimensions 2005 to VworpCon in 2018, and The Crash of the Elysium to Escape Hunt: A Dalek Awakens, we've been very fortunate to have attended a whole host of different events. They have covered different sizes of venues, different types of guests, and offered a wealth of differing experiences.
This week, Christian Cawley and James McLean discuss how Doctor Who events have evolved over the decades. We also discuss A Dalek Awakens, an escape room experience in Norwich, which James was fortunate enough to visit recently.

n this week's show, Christian Cawley and James McLean face off with their preferred fantasy streaming shows. In the Black corner, Christian is in favour of House of the Dragon... in the Elf corner, it's James, with Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
Which is the best show? Why have Christian and James settled on those shows and not the others? And does James really care whether Christian watches The Rings of Power?

Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr as Dr Doom? A Doctor Who spin-off with an incredibly long name? XXXXX XXXXX as Johnny Storm? It can only be the reveals at San Diego Comic Con 2024, and we're here to try and make sense of it all.
Even if The War Between the Land and the Sea does sound like a George RR Martin epilogue...
Christian Cawley and James McLean pull the bones out of the best bits of Comic Con 24.
PLUS: When we chatted with Gareth Kavanagh in June, he shared with us some upcoming news about Cutaway Comics projects, plus a tease of their summer sale - now on!

We're delighted to welcome Gareth Kavanagh to this week's podcast, in which we discuss Go Figure!
This is the upcoming book detailing the entirety of the Character Options Doctor Who figurine range. It's already achieved its funding goal on Indiegogo, but you have 4 days left (as of June 15th, 2024) to help the project reach some tasty looking stretch goals.
Go Figure! is edited by Gary Russell, designed by Will Brooks, and features high-quality photographs by Doctor Who collector Richard Lloyd (YouTube's @StetsonDoctor).
Gareth joins Christian Cawley and James McLean to discuss Go Figure!, and recall a shared adventure at a convention 6 years ago...

In this podcast, Christian Cawley and James McLean commence a conversation that takes them into an unexpected direction, namely language.
Why is representation of contemporary language so poor in TV and movies? Beyond expletives in Hollywood movies, the representation of what we archaicly refer to as "street talk" is in most cases laughable.

Esteemed British actor William Russell sadly passed away on June 4th, 2024, at the age of 99. An actor with a career spanning 73 years, his final screen appearance was, of course, in a 2022 Doctor Who episode, The Power of the Doctor.
Over the years, Russell (who also acted under the name Russell Enoch) accumulated a remarkable 109 screen and audio credits (based on an IMDb figure which we suspect is incomplete) dating back to 1949.
In this podcast, we take a look at Russell's most famous role before Doctor Who. 30 episodes of The Adventures of Sir Lancelot were recorded, a show that was a hit on both sides of the Atlantic. Such a hit, in fact, that some episodes were recorded in colour, way back in 1956!
So, join Christian Cawley and James McLean as they watch, and talk over, episode 1 of The Adventures of Sir Lancelot.

Incredibly, it is 25 years since The Phantom Menace hit cinemas and launched a revival of Star Wars that continues to this day.
Inspired by the discovery of a 4K vs 35mm comparison video on YouTube, Christian Cawley and James McLean discuss The Phantom Menace. From watching it for the first time, to modern questions and inconsistencies, this talk hits a number of key points about Star Wars pre- and post-Disney acquisition.
After all, Disney didn't have a hand in Caravan of Courage, did they?

We're back with a new, later-than-planned podcast with guest Philip Bates of The Doctor Who Companion.
Philip chats to Christian Cawley about some projects he's working on with Candy Jar Books, which includes some books on The Racoons, an update to Companions: Fifty Years of Doctor Who Assistants called Companions: Sixty Years of Doctor Who Assistants (announced here for the first time!), and a new UNIT book.
(Apologies, there is a small hiss on Philip's mic, which we tried to remove early on and in post-production, and this is as good as it gets.)

Christian Cawley is conducting other activities this week, so James McLean is joined by "Magnus" to discuss the 2023 Doctor Who Christmas special. But who is Magnus, and will you ever find out?
