  • Happy 61st Anniversary!

    There are many brilliant Doctor Who podcasts out there (do check them out) but I defy any of them to have celebrated the anniversary in this manner. An epic commentary - positive, of course - of an anniversary flavoured Doctor Who story with a lengthy, charming and insightful set of exclusive audio snippets from one of its key contributors. It's unlikely to be the story you expect and the special guest doesn't usually do interviews - so strap yourselves in and celebrate Who-day in a as unique and left field manner as possible. I can't promise it will be sensible, and yet...

  • Another episode of Doctor Who gets the deep dive treatment. This one again has no William Hartnell action whatsoever, and features a scene that would be unliklely to make it into a modern iteration of the show. Its main guest star gets the biographical treatment, as does an actor who appears at the bottom of the credits in this single instalment and never again in Doctor Who despite having several personal connections to the series. So warm yourselves up for this by rubbing your thighs and settle in front of a fire to get the cold, hard facts about The Snows of Terror...

  • Well, this has been rather rewarding: a lesser known story has proved to have all sorts of interesting elements. And there's been some Patreon feedback too, so before embarking on the final desperate venture the listeners provide some interesting insights. This final episode has it all - new characters, some interesting plot developments, and a bit of philsophy Who-style. But thanks to guest Steve Lyons (Doctor Who audio and book writer extraordonaire) there's even room for, ahem, a sting in the tale...

  • Oh, a rare thing - where the episode title is the cliffhanger (yes, the Second Elder is kidnapped too but that really happened last week). There's a vitally iomportant moment in this humble story, as noticed by special guest Steve Lyons. Toby however, disappears down too many actor related rabbit holes to notice because he is an idiot. Still, there's plenty to say about the story even at this late stage, which just goes to show that even the less celebrated adventures are well worth visiting every now and then.

  • A topical podcast! Blimey! As it is Halloween why not have a little think about why Doctor Who is scary, and why that is comehow acceptable for children. What is it about us that has a need to be frightened, and why does this siully show have such a repuation for scares? Happy Halloween - hopefully this podcast is a treat rather that a trick.

  • Well, the crew are in hot water (because Ian has been drinking poisoned water) and so they need to call upon a montage to help them to save the day. There's confusion afoot in Sensorites-ville, with one of them planning murder in the First Degree - or is that Second Degree? Hmm, not sure, we will have to look at what kind of sash the murder is wearing. Anyway, Steve and Toby give the episode the Third Degree (also known as the City Administrator's degree) but will they agree about this episode's strongest point? In a rare turn of events, Toby is currently in the lead. Can he hang onto it...?

    PS: There was a slightly loose cable to there is the odd crackle and dropout at the beginning but it settles thereafter - apologies.

  • So... we move (very slowly, it is The Sensorites after all) from the space ship to the Sense Sphere but all is not what it seems on the peaceful planet. Some resent the travellers, and there's a danger so hidden that nobody - bar perhaps everyone watching the episode - will ever guess what it is. This under-celebrated Hartnell tale has charms all of its own, but also gives your host Toby Hadoke the opportunity to discuss an important moment in his life, when he discovered that you shouldn't believe everything you read. Especially if it is about Doctor Who...

  • They may be Unwilling Warriors but they're still a terrifyung prospect - silent if not deadly, the Sensorites have to walk very slowly round the spaceship lest they run out of corridor. This story has a bad reputation and yet there's much to recommend about this : so will Steve Lyons (Doctor Who writer of note and wit) choose the same thing to celebrate as your host? And can you guess what gets chosen (maybe you can read their minds?). And this commentary comes on the heels of some sad news about one of the episode's stars... who still twinkles - and will forever.

  • Oh no. It's the story that everyone doing a Doctor Who marathon experiences their first stumble during. Indeed, it's the point where a number of people bail. Poor old The Sensorites. Even its advocate for this podcast, top Doctor Who writer Steve Lyons, confesses that it his least favourite story of the season. So join Steve as he guides your host very slowly around Captain Maitland's ship in search of something - anything - positive to say about this unsung early entry into the canon.

  • Remember - Toby Hadoke's Time Travels is currently weekly, not twice a week as is usual: normal service will be resumed in October.

    Academic and stand-up comedian Oliver Double chooses perhaps the least celebrated slice of Doctor/Donna Who, from a time when the show was riding high in the ratings, in the public eye... everywhere. But what five things will he choose as his favourite - and will your host give them a chilly reception?

  • A gentle reminder that this month, Toby Hadoke's Time Travels will be weekly as opposed to fortnightly whilst batteries are recharged and general maintenance is carried out.

    The next key of Marinus is hiding in a jar in an old man's laboratory, but it's a jungle out there... and jungle that is trying to get in. Before the episode can be transmitted though, there is a row about exactly who came up with it. And what's this, an episode in which the companions play a greater role than the Doctor, who is conspicuous by his absence? Wouldn't happen these days! Oh, and we get up close and personal - and totally naked - with one of the story's main guest stars, who made TV history in full colour and fully undressed!

  • For August and September Toby Hadoke's Time Travels will be released once a week. The twice weekly releases will resume in October. Thanks for your patience. Here we go chums. What a rewarding experience this has been. But can The Ambassdors of Death contnue to surprise, and to break the mould, and have host Toby pull off a rare victory? Or will the ending be a damp squib? Well, for one last time Toby and special guest Mark Wright delve into this most undersung of Who classics - and loving it to (ker-pow) DEATH is, of course, their moral duty.

  • The fortnightly releases of Toby Hadoke's Time Travels will recommence in October. Thanks for indulging the current battery recharge which is well needed x

    The Third Doctor's first trip into space (eat that Colony!) enables us to see the faces behind the masks and the ... whatever it is behind the Venetian (or maybe Martian) blinds. We have something gassy in decontamination and the cloning of Max Faulkner: it's all happening in a story that the deinzens of Patreon are havbing a ball watching along with (se we hope you are too). And remember - it's pretty close between Mark Wright and Toby when it comes to choosing their favourite things.

  • Toby Hadoke's Time Travels will be weekly during August and September- the twice weekly releases will return in October.

    So, the story steps up a pace: beginnning, as it does, with the death of another major character and having Liz held hostage and the Doctor jetting off into space. Will his journey be as wayward as the story itself is often written off as being, or will it hit the target? And with Toby and illustrious guest Mark Wright neck and neck, surely your host can't screw this up? Can he?

  • Toby Hadoke's Time Travels is reducing its release rate to once a week during August and September because it is very tired and overworked and needs a holiday (it won't get one, but at least this'll take the pressure off a bit).The plot gets thicker and thicker, but not as thick as Taltalian's accent... and thereby hangs a tale (but perhaps one that is slightly too long). Anyway, there is much to recommend this episode: Reegan continues to be a charmer, the Doctor is on fine form, and the Ambassadors don't get the best of receptions from Max Faulkner when they try to muscle their way past him. What will writer and editor Mark Wright choose as his favourite thing from a story that has plenty to choose from?

  • Just a reminder that Happy Times and Places will be released once a week (rather than the usual twice) during August and September. Holidays innit?

    Let's hope there are no technical problems with this episode (there were for part two, sorry) but it wouldn't be a surprise if there were. This story seems compelled to make itself somehow unreachable, intagible, opaque. Peering through the gloom to discern its qualities is Mark Wright (no, not that one, or that one) but what will he chose as his favourite thing? Will he take host Toby to the cleaners (or rather, Hayhoe Laundries) or end up buried under a pile of gravel in a moment of gratuitous brilliance?

  • There is much to love about this story, but the majority of fandom has never quite got to grips with it. This episode might help to explain why - it's a tricky one to watch because of the diffciulties restoring the pictures, and there are a couple of elements which sit awkwardly amonst the show's canon (the vanishing of the tape, Bessie's forcefield). But there's also a fantastic hi-jacking, a compelling story and exemplary cast. Will guest Mark Wright and host Toby Hadoke be on the same wavelength? Or are they secretly plotting against each other?Please note that during August and September Toby Hadoke's Time Travels will be going weekly because, well, we all need a bit of a rest and recharge. This partcular Happy Times and Places has had some excellent feedback though; so hopefully you'll get plenty of quality despite the reduced quantity.

  • Now then, this is one of your host's favourite stories - one he thinks is probably the most underrated story in the whole canon. It was always rather apologetically dealt with in write-ups and fan word-of-mouth was that it was a bit of a mess. So Toby came to it quite late and with low expectations - and was bowled over by it. And it is a love that has never died. Does writer, editor and all-round smart guy Mark Wright have a similar journey towards Mars Probe 7? Will he like the same things? Or will he just send Toby a coded message that is impossible to understand? Well, let's find out in this latest Happy Times and Places.

    Or should that be

    Happy Times...

    AND PLACES!!!

  • Endings are hard aren't they? So hard that it's taken a while to get this one out. It is all explained (which is more than can be said for some elements of the latest series) and, hopefully, not too disappointing. Resolving story arcs is very much a modern series thing... but can Doctor Who ever really satisfy as it does, after all... never end?

    This is a bonus release (partially because it's late) at the beginning of August to herald a downscale of release frequency for the next couple of months while Toby plays catch up. There will still be one release per week though, each one containing a hour or so's worth of material, so you'll still be hearing from the podcasts: and there are some good ones to come!

  • Robin Bunce, Cambridge academic and writer, whose father Roger was a legnedary BBC cameraman who worked with most of the classic Doctors, has chosen Attack of the Cybermen to celebrate in this positively inclined podcast series. What will he choose to celebrate about this contiunuity rich and somewhat violent story? And will host Toby Hadoke choose the same things... or will he be left out in the cold?
