Episode 26: Mr. Hinchcliffe Presents

 



Just in time for Halloween, Matthew Kresal and Mary Lang are reviewing Big Finish's hotly anticapted and recently released Phillip Hinchcliffe Presents box-set. With its promise of recreating an era (in)famous for its “tea-time horror”, topics discussed in looking at the two stories that make up the box-set (The Ghosts of Gralstead and The Devil's Armada) include each story's extended length, calls back to the Hinchcliffe era, Tom Baker's performance and more.

Episode 25: Death Comes To Time




Marking the podcast's first sojourn into non-Big Finish Doctor Who territory, Matthew Kresal and Mary Lang are reviewing the controversial 2001-02 seventh Doctor webcast Death Comes To Time. Topics discussed include its large cast, the epic nature of its plot and the ever shifting nature of it as a result. Plus they ask the ultimate question: is it canon and does it really matter one way or another?
