Who's He? On The TV | Spike Milligan - Part 1

In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast.... Review - The Claws of Axos This time, Phil and Paul look at The Claws of Axos, starring Jon Pertwee as the Doctor and Katy Manning as Jo Grant. Written for television by Bob Baker and Dave Martin and adapted by Terrance Dicks for the Target novelisation, bumbling government ministers with delusions of grandeur, CIA agents with pleasantly ugly faces and a shrill musical score is the order of the day. So listen as our reviewing pair compare the television and book versions. They also take the opportunity to celebrate 20 years of Doctor Who returning to our screens. We also apologise for some sound problems during this recording, it was one hell of a night!

In this second Doctor story, featuring Frazer Hines as the Doctor and Jamie McCrimmon and Deborah Watling as Victoria Waterfield, Phil and Paul were swept away in this story of people who are not who they claim to be and what the pair of them consider to be an ingenious use of time travel to tie this audio story to The Two Doctors.

In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast.... Welcome The Second Doctor - The Power of The Daleks Phil & Scott continue their series of looking at how good how each Doctor's inaugral stories were at introducing them to the waiting world, with The Power of the Daleks, starring Patrick Troughton. With this story being the very first time a regenerated Doctor appeared on screen, was this story full Daleks, double and triple crosses successful in assuring fans that Doctor Who was alive and well?

In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast.... Review - Joy to The World In their last podcast of 2024, the Who's He? team look at this years Doctor Who Christmas Special, Joy to The World, starring Ncuti Gatwa. With Scott stepping in at late notice to replace Paul who was trapped in a temporal nexus (or Zoom not working properly), he joins a still grumpy Phil in looking at this Steven Moffat story that features a time hotel, dinosaurs and a one shot companion in the form of Nicola Coughlans Joy. But was she really the companion and why did Phil think this story features one of the most tone deaf plot devices he's seen in a Christmas Special? We wish all our listeners a Happy New Year and we will see you in 2025!
