STRAIGHT from the SFPL vault:

• In preperation for our forthcoming Sarah Jane Adventure, we present to you this archival Sci-Fi Party Line podcast episode that orginally went out 11.8.09

DON'T PANIC

[original show notes]

Sci-Fi Party Line #39 SJA & DW

In this episode we talk about David Tennant’s guest appearance in the Sarah Jane Adventures episode ‘The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith.’ We rip into the released clip of the animated Doctor Who micro serial Dreamland. We collectively shake our heads at the Doctor Who special ‘Planet of the Dead,’ but look forward to ‘Waters of Mars.’ We express concerns and expectations of the 11th Doctor, Matt Smith. Our discussion concludes with talk of Torchwood‘s fate. We briefly touch on some of the classics as well.

We are honored to have Louis Trapani of Podshock, the longest running Doctor Who podcast, as our special guest on this episode.

This episode contains light spoilers throughout, speculation, random time loops and recursion paradoxes. Mind your cloister bell!

Playing out the show is the song ‘K9′s Lament’ by the Trock band Chameleon Circuit.

Just for fun, see if you can spot the obscure Teddy Ruxpin reference.

WELCOME to -> HHG2W: Mostly Harmless Cutaway 27 <- Today Eric & returning guest-host Julian tackle that little British show about the consulting detective. Anyone still remember that recent EXTREMELY brilliant Steven Moffat & Mark Gatiss collab tele version trilogy SHERLOCK? Specifically that would be the series finale, The Great Game.

WARNING: If you have NOT yet watched SHERLOCK (2010) just STEP AWAY FROM THE IpOD NOW! This commentary contains miscellaneous SHERLOCK, NüWho & Classic SPOILERS pertaining to a whole smattering of canon. If you are 100% spoilerphobic to New & Classic epsiodes not yet seen, DO NOT complain to us. And as always there are strokes of innuendo throughout. If you're familiar with our discussions / reviews / commentaries you should've expected as much.

DISCLAIMER:

• No it wasn't called Ulysses 2082; It was actually the outstanding cartoon classic Ulysses 31.
• Check out the awesome Ulysses 31 opening titles sequence here.
  
• John Lebar who played the Golem in this story is in fact NOT Ted Cassidy reincarnate.
• Yes we realize the Ulysses 31 theme has literally nothing to do with SHERLOCK or Doctor Who, but it's still pretty cool so...

116 days until the 2010 Christmas Special.

BASED on a true story:

• Once in a while we get talked into doing something we really don't want to do. This is one of those times. What follows is yet anohter excursion into that place we should really stop visiting: 'The Insomnia Zone.' Apparently inspired by a combination of his recent outing to see the film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World AND a recent [excellent] parody of MHC in The @PharosProject podcast ep 19 (24:09), Julian sought to live up to his tagline and produce a little bit of shite poking some fun at the podcast while being ALL ABOUT HIM at the same time.
• Improvisational dialog was provided by @Braxietel. All the other [important] crap, ie soundesign [that took inordinate man-hours] was produced by @Bullitt33.
  

WARNING:

• That's right kiddies; As this came from the deprived mind of Braxietel it does contian EXPLICIT thoughts & language. Hide the Time Tots.
  

DISCLAIMER:

• Our next release will be a brand new commentary series...

• When Eric says 'Pink Orchid' he obviously means 'Black Orchid.'
• Eric also mentions 'Time Flight.' Nope, wrong again. Actually 'Timelash' is the correct title being referenced.
• It sounds like the conversation is teetering on the EXPLICIT tag threshold near the very end, but it won't seem that way unless you have a dirty mind.

Welcome to this, the 19th Hitchhiker's Guide to the Whoverse: Mostly Harmless Cutaway. Today Eric flies solo directly into his reaction to Two-Minute Time Lord Podcast episode 144. If you haven't already, please give Chip's Podcast and particularly this episode 144 where Chip postulates why Series 5 was made for the box set. Eric attempts to expand upon this premise of a 'box set series' that in hindsight appears to be greater than the sum of it's parts. He then continues to reflect upon and contrast the differences in character development under the tutelage of both RTD & Steven Moffat.
 
WARNING: This podcast contains SPOILERS pertinent to Series 5 overall in general. 

Disclaimer:

We're sorry. So, so sorry. It was our intention for this to be quick 6 minute response, but as you can see bloviation was the order of the day. We promise MHC #20 will be more than double in length so please...

A mouse took a stroll through the deep dark wood.
A Fox saw the mouse, and the mouse looked good.

"Where are you going to, little brown mouse?
Come and have lunch in underground house."

"It's terribly kind of you, Fox, but no –
I'm going to have lunch with a gruffalo."

"A gruffalo? What's a gruffalo?"
"A gruffalo! Why, didn't you know?

He has terrible tusks, and terrible claws,
And terrible teeth in his terrible jaws."

"Where are you meeting him?"
"Here, by these rocks,
And his favourite food is roasted fox."

"Crumbs, I'm off!" Fox said.
"Goodbye, little mouse," and away he sped.

"Silly old Fox! Why's he so manic,
Doesn't he know the best motto's..."

Thanks so much to James (@JamesNaughton), co-host of the Doctor Who @Podshock podcast for providing this episode's intro.

Never have you met a kinder more sincere chap in person. Please follow the twitter links to check out their podcasts although chances are you already have because they're the oldest, longest running, & most downloaded Doctor Who podcast to date.

Disclaimer: Now here's the part where we list some of Eric's pathetic factual gaffes in this week's ep, or as we like to call them: 'Intentional' production errors or Easter Eggs: 1) Eric incorrectly refers to actor Toby Jones (The Dream Lord) as Tom Jones. 2) Eric calls her Mrs. Potter rather than Mrs. Poggit. 3) When Eric was referring to the wonderful violin piece composed by @murraygold he incorrectly pointed toward Rory's exit scene. While it too contains a wonderful piece of music, it is a piano which is heard prevalently at that point. The piece with the violin is actually played backing the beautiful kiss scene - Oh my hearts -

TARDIS Tavern #17: Dalek Restroom Cutaway

With a little help from our friends... 

Podcest is such a wonderful thing; That interconnection we all share as part of the Doctor Who Podcast Alliance.  We were recently listening to our pals Steve & Sean's latest TARDIS Tavern podcast. Since its inception back in November '09, their program has been steadily growing, improving, & finding it's own place among the pantheon of WHO 'casts out there now. This Blue Guy thuroughly enjoyed their recent Dalek potty humor sketch & immeditately asked for permission to publish it here on the Guide to the Whoverse feed for all of you to enjoy should you partake. This is only a small excerpt however, the bulk of this episode is actually a half druken review of the Second Doctor's first story Power of the Daleks. Honestly it was, but a mere coinicdence that the 'Two WHO Drool' just happened to preselect reviewing this classic story right on the heels of the newest Dalek story Victory of the Daleks airing.

Be sure to listen to the entire TARDIS Tavern Episode 17 The Victory of the Power of the Daleks which can be found here. Warning: This skit contains EXPLICIT language along with some crude humor, but honestly no more crude than that found in RTD's Aliens of London / World War Three.

We'd really like to thank Steve & Sean again for allowing us to feature this clip on our feed. (Mostly) every week they hit up their locak WHO tavern & review a classic story while inbibing Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters. Quite an interesting mix of conflicting interests if you ask us. 

Disclaimer: Should you still have any more rants, complaints, or comments please direct them to:

ATTN: Sean -> tardistavern@gmail.com or reach him via twitter: @tardistavern

And for all those still wondering the answer to that ultimate question of life, the universe, and Megan's singleness all we can say is...

T minus 6 days until Flesh and Stone.

Contrary to common belief, Eric & Megan set to record a mid-week Victory of the Daleks Cutaway this last Thrusday April 22nd. Unfotunately a conspiring cosmos was working against them. Firstly a certain producer of this show's computer decided to go on the Fritz Tuesday. Following which he proceded to stay awake for 26 hrs striaght before recording would commence.

It was not our brightest hour. What ensued was something little resembling our strandard podcast format. For 2.5 hrs the misery edured, failing attention + hallucinations leading to many and frequent resets, redos, and restarts. We had hoped that the edit bay might be able to salvage some carcass of a show from the wreckage, but alas fate & destiny weren't finshed with us yet. Apparently somebody forgot to push that little red button marked 'Record,' so all was for naught. So much 'Dalek Cutaway' prep & stress-work down the tube with the rest of the refuse.

Let us assure you that we feel thuroughly refreshed & recharged now and recording of our The Time of Angels shall take place later today as originally planned. Perhaps we shall produce an extra beefy mid-week cutaway in coming days to help atone for our carelessness. Despite our mishap, fortunately cooler heads prevailed as we made use of another red button within reach, this one imprinted with the bold words:

DON'T PANIC

Mostly Testicle Cutaway #1: Anywhere

Once in a while something most improbable can happen. This happens to be 1 of those whiles. This unholy creation is a collaborative production between John (@cybertesticle) & Eric (@Bullitt33). It is a satirical Doctor Who parody based on a scene in The Eleventh Hour. John is responsible for writing & performing the script, while Eric pretty much laid out all the rest. Can you believe they make these things for fun? Warning: This skit contains EXPLICIT language. This type of humor is not recommended for the very young or uptight WHO fan!

John is the creator of The Cyber Testicle Podcast and long time friend of the show. We aren't exaggerating when we say his is the most unique Doctor Who podcast around. Give it a sample and you'll understand. This sketch is an example of some of the kinds of things you will find on his feed.

Disclaimer: Whether you like it or not, you may never see one of these things ever again. Not unless you convince us otherwise. The idea to do it was literally born on a camping trip we went on last summer.  We trekked to a nearby pond to try and catch some supper. We brought fishing wire & hooks, but had to fashion our own rods. While John was trimming & whittling his branch his hand suddenly slipped, knife in palm, and suddenly slashed the crotch of his trousers. We said, 'John, are you alright mate?'

Welcome to this, the 3rd Mostly Harmless Cutaway. Today Eric & Megan break down the newest, latest, and greatest Doctor Who series 5 episode The Eleventh Hour. WARNING: this review/discussion contains no holds barred SPOILERS!

Normally our show notes, would be much, much longer and Blue Guy will probably edit & add to this later [watch this space], but we've been piecing this episode together for countless hours now and just want to get it out already!!!

Thanks so much to Chris (@dubbayoo), 1 of the 'Three Who Rule' @ the Radio Free Skaro podcast for providing this episode's intro. We certainly feel his contribution adds a bit of much needed stature & altitude(?) to our vertically challenged program. Please follow the links and check out their impeccably flawless Canuck take on the world of Doctor Who.

Welcome to this, the 2nd Mostly Harmless Cutaway. Today Eric & Megan break down the newest, latest, and greatest Doctor Who series 5 trailers and clips. They discuss:

• The 3D / vortex cinematic trailer.
• The combined BBCA extended montage + The most recent Jonathan Ross trailer
• BBC News TARDIS crashed in the Garden clip.
• The Vampires in Venice clip.
• Opening moments of The Eleventh Hour clip.

[All of these trailers, clips, & more can be found here: http://guidetothewhoverse.tumblr.com/]

Thanks so much to Chip (@2minutetimelord) from the Two-minute Time Lord podcast for providing this episode's intro. We certainly feel his contribution adds a bit of gravitas to our humble program. Please follow the links and check out his awesome concentrated commentaries on the world of Doctor Who.

Also thanks to Radio Free Skaro for getting many of these recent series 5 clips & trailers up on their website in swift order. We really appreciate your efforts.

Disclaimer: Yes we realize that this still isn't you're beloved Hitchhiker's Guide to the Whoverse. Well, were you aware that series 5 of Doctor Who is imminent? We don't know about you, but we are super excited over here and we'd really like to talk about the new show, record our thoughts, and post them on our feed. We'd really love for all of you, our listeners, to hang around and give the new format a chance, but we understand if it's not your cup of tea. We are planning to do a ~15-20 minute MHC / Review / Discussion for each and every series 5 ep airing for approximately the next 14 weeks, hopefully to be released by that Monday following the UK/BBC airing. There are still remaining backlog HHG2W in addition to those we will continue to create so stay tuned, they will eventually appear on this feed. We hope all of you find our plans and endeavors worthwhile, this is going to be a very, very busy season for us to try and crank the podcasts out in a timely, current, and relevant matter. Please strap yourselves in, hold on tight, and whatever you do...
