TARDIS Musings has The Origins of Doctor Who - Part 2. Last week I took a look at the development process which led the BBC to consider a Sci-Fi adventure serial for Saturday evenings, and how that programme evolved into Doctor Who. As the show moved towards production, several key ingredients had still to be decided upon....

Beware most podcasts are of an adult nature and are not suitable for children.
The Sonic Toolbox has Episode 34: The Leadworth Affair. Wherein we review Matt Smith's first foray as the Doctor in The Eleventh Hour. We also delve into those deep questions that arise within the story: what is it like to grow up in a small town, what did Prisoner Zero do to wind up in a maximum security prison, and what's up with Matt Smith's eye sockets?
Radio Free Skaro has 312 – Eurosvision. With the furore and fascination of Eurovision now over with (oh, the excitement! The whimsy!), the Three Who Rule turn their gaze towards one of the most prolific directors in the new series, Euros Lyn, in this week’s Miniscope. Lyn was credited with directing an astonishing eleven episodes across nine stories, including some stunning work on Tooth and Claw, and some questionable decisions on the David Tennant/RTD finale The End of Time. Also discussed in this week’s podcast is Radio Free Skaro’s upcoming appearance at Westercon 66 in July 2013, and some exciting news on the DVD front in the months to come. All in all, this week’s episode is worth more Euros than money can buy!

Review's Roundup...
TARDIS Eruditorum has You Were Expecting Someone Else 11 (Slipback). "...It's not very good, but it's not very good in the same ways that The Visitation is not very good - a case of the whole being markedly less than the sum of its recycled parts. Many, if not most, of the ideas are genuinely funny, but the story is in many ways wholly encapsulated by the drunk ditz computer, a funny idea that overstays its welcome by a considerable margin...."
Siskoid's Blog of Geekery has Doctor Who 188: The Enemy of the World Part 1. The TARDIS lands on a beach and soon flee hovercraft gunmen by helicopter. The Doctor is a dead ringer for a world leader called Salamander and one faction wants him to impersonate the man....
The Edwardian Adventurer has Doctor Who and the Silurians, Part 3. It was established earlier that Quinn knew the source of the power shortages: the creatures in the cave were leeching power. In return for access to this power, Quinn was promised scientific knowledge. Already we have the shady-human-allied-with-the-villain trope. These things usually end poorly for the human, and with the end of this episode, nothing much has changed there....
