Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels

HT&P BONUS INTERVIEW - John Halstead

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels

Show Notes

John Halstead, voice of the Monoids (specifically the especially thick Monoid 2 and the rebellious Monoid 3) in The Ark has never been interviewed about his time on Doctor Who. He's not even done any conventions (but he has done one signing). John likes the "f" word and uses it liberally and it has been left intact herein. So be warned. This is a colourful one. And it has never been heard before. Worth the wait though - honestly, this one is GREAT fun! John should have his own show. #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary #doctorwhocomedian #tobyhadoke #doctorwhofacts #positivedoctorwho #classicdoctorwho Please support these podcasts on Patreon, where you will get advance releases, exclusive content (including a patron-only podcast - Far Too Much Information), regular AMAs and more.

Oh this one wakes you up with a slap! Unless you're Jamie, who spends much of this episode asleep. That's not the case for the viewer though, who has plenty of entertainment during this installment, from Cybermen above ground and below it, to Vaughan being quite the bounder and Gregory having to make up for a cancelled film sequence. Let the invasion begin (six weeks after The Invasion, um, began!). #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary #doctorwhocomedian #tobyhadoke #doctorwhofacts #positivedoctorwho #classicdoctorwho Please support these podcasts on Patreon, where you will get advance releases, exclusive content (including a patron-only podcast - Far Too Much Information), regular AMAs and more.

#doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary #doctorwhocomedian #tobyhadoke #doctorwhofacts #positivedoctorwho #classicdoctorwho A politician shaped loose end, a tunnel shaped loo's end, and a Cybermen sent round the bend all make this one take place in or around the bowels of London as the Doctor and co finally come face to face with the indomitable Cybermen, who still need a bit of help getting down below.

The second and final missing/animated episode of this story and it may just be treading - and sometimes canoeing - water BUT ... there is that exciting helicopter chase, the reveal of the story's mysterious monster, and ... well, some exclusive insight into the animation which has excited everyone's interest. And as Happy Times and Places always likes to go the extra mile, we're take you to the horse's mouth and hear from James Goss about the trials and tribulations involved in getting Doctor Who's very first animation off the ground all those years ago. Actually, about as long ago now as The Invasion itself was when I first watched it. Gulp. Thanks to Guest Ken Patterson and also to very special animation correspondent James Goss: worth the price of admission alone. There are some annoying sound dropouts in this one (never trust a computer bought from International Electromatics) but hopefully they are not too distracting. #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary #doctorwhocomedian #tobyhadoke #doctorwhofacts #positivedoctorwho #classicdoctorwho Please support these podcasts on Patreon, where you will get advance releases, exclusive content (including a patron-only podcast - Far Too Much Information), regular AMAs and more.

Toby is here. Ken is here. Kilroy is here!!! It's Part Three of The Invasion. There's a bit of cat, and bit of mouse.... and then a bit more cat and mouse. But there's still plenty to enjoy including some excellent acting by Peter Halliday's hair, some superb rapport between Troughton and Hines and... well, would it be cheating to vote for Kevin Stoney every week...? #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary #doctorwhocomedian #tobyhadoke #doctorwhofacts #positivedoctorwho #classicdoctorwho Please support these podcasts on Patreon, where you will get advance releases, exclusive content (including a patron-only podcast - Far Too Much Information), regular AMAs and more.

Computer problems abound in truth and in fiction but nonetheless this one has been snuck out - unnoticed by our conniving computer overlords. Still no Cybermen, but plenty of fun to be had as Zoe smashes a computer, dandruff is discussed and your host doesn't even mention one of his favourite bits (he'll have to do so next week). And there are lots of fascinating listener comments too - making this one a really gorgeous prospect!
