Jodie into Terror: A Doctor Who Flashcast

“That’s the only sad thing. I want to know what happens next.” It’s the end of an era and the end of this podcast: time for us to get together on folding chairs in a church hall somewhere with everyone we ever met to talk about our adventures with The Power of the Doctor. And time for a last farewell. Thank you all.

The Whittaker era is heading towards its inexorable end and dragging this podcast along with it, so it’s time to take a quick penultimate break in nineteenth-century China, where we watch a lot of villagers being killed, a statue breaking open or something, a mysterious sea monster with no apparent plot function, and the non-awaited return of some rubber masks from the 1970s. And, of course, the relationship between the Doctor and Yaz runs into serious fluogeomagnetic issues. Here’s a link to Brendan’s YouTube series A Walk to Work with Whittaker: his take on this episode will appear some time tomorrow (or today if you’re in a different time zone, I guess).

It’s New Year’s Eve 2021, the Doctor’s plan to take a holiday on a sentient beach goes horribly wrong, and instead she is forced to participate in a Covid-addled New Year’s Day special. Hilarity ensues. The Doctor’s plan to take a holiday on a sentient beach goes horribly wrong, and instead she is forced to participate in a Covid-addled New Year’s Day special. Hilarity ensues.

In a surprising conclusion to this epic tale, the Doctor finds love in the most unexpected of places, Bel struggles with her application to join the Belfast branch of the CWO, Swarm and Azure’s plans to open a nightclub on Atropos go horribly wrong, seven billion of Karvanista’s cousins go to live on a farm in the country, and Yaz and Dan are here too, apparently. Time to farewell the Flux for now: it’s The Vanquishers. Here’s Brendan’s take on this episode in his YouTube series A Walk to Work with Whittaker.

This week, Nathan, Simon and Brendan find ourselves racing around both the universe and the world in search of exciting, hilarious and weird things to put into a television episode. And the Doctor’s wicked stepmother wants to have a word with her. Several hundred words, in fact. You can find Brendan’s take on this series of Doctor Who in his YouTube series A Walk to Work with Whittaker.

A solid 9 out of 10 from us. It’s Village of the Angels. You can find Brendan’s take on this episode in his YouTube series A Walk to Work with Whittaker. And special thanks to Johnny Spandrell, whose blog Random Whoness is a brilliant source of clever and insighful commentary on Doctor Who.

This week, we’re lurking in our own timestreams, reliving the moment a few days ago when we first saw Once, Upon Time: Todd keeps checking his watch, Brendan is still annoyed about the whole satsuma thing, James is feeding his tamagochi and rubbing his belly, while Nathan is wondering why the exam he’s turned up to without any pants on is being supervised by Mandip Gill. It’s the sort of thing that only happens Once, Upon Time. You can find Brendan’s take on this episode in his YouTube series A Walk to Work with Whittaker.

For this chapter of Jodie into Terror, we’re joined by JIT débutant Simon Moore for an enthusiastic appraisal of this week’s Doctor Who episode and an animated discussion of camp villains, well-scripted Doctoresses and the importance of not scheduling everyone’s rest periods at the same time. This isn’t your great-great-great-great-great-grandmother’s Crimean War — it’s War of the Sontarans. Here’s Brendan’s take on this episode in his YouTube series A Walk to Work with Whittaker.

This week, Jodie into Terror makes a triumphant return: Brendan is worried about heartworm, Todd is fumbling with his keys, James is suffering from the terrible side-effects of his psychic survey, Nathan can’t stop showing people around the Sydney Museum of Football Teams Nobody Cares About, and Richard is threatening the existence of every sentient being the universe. Buckle up: it’s Doctor Who: Series 13: Flux: Chapter One: The Halloween Apocalypse. Here’s Brendan’s take on this episode in his YouTube series A Walk to Work with Whittaker.

What better way to kick off 2021 than watching Donald Trump and Theresa May unleashing a sexy new breed of Dalek upon the British voting public? It’s a good day for squid, explosions and farewells on Revolution of the Daleks. Many thanks to Johnny Spandrell for his sudden guest appearance on this episode. You can find all his writings on Doctor Who at Random Whoness. You can see Brendan’s video review of this episode here, but you’re probably better off subscribing to his YouTube channel, particularly with the imminent rebirth of his series Say Something Nice.
