Jodie into Terror: A Doctor Who Flashcast (Flight Through Entirety)

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.

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, 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.

A solid 9 out of 10 from us. It’s Village of the Angels.

And special thanks to Johnny Spandrell, whose blog Random Whoness is a brilliant source of clever and insighful commentary on Doctor Who.

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.

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.

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.

Here’s Brendan’s take on this episode in his YouTube series A Walk to Work with Whittaker.

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).

“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.

This week, the stakes are high as Nathan, James, Brendan, Peter and Todd don their tuxes, spy on a sinister tech billionaire, fight deadly glowing aliens, and get a big surprise… It’s Spyfall, Part One.

Over on Flight Through Entirety, we’ve just reached the end of Series 3 of the New Series, and there are a couple of Christmas presents under the tree as well with Time Crash and our commentary on Voyage of the Damned. We’ll be back before too long with our coverage of Series 4.

Here’s where you can find Brendan’s Series 11 Reviews retrospective video.

This week, we spend most of our time larking around with computer scientists and Nazis, oblivious to the serious moral issues of wiping people’s memories, betraying villains to the Nazis, and using your mum as a hard drive to store all your backup nudes. It’s Spyfall, Part Two.

You can catch our more well-considered Doctor Who takes over at Flight Through Entirety, of course, where we have discussed every broadcast Doctor Who story until the end of 2007.

You can also catch Brendan’s bracing and optimistic outdoor takes on Series 12 on his YouTube channel.

This week, we head back to the start of the twentieth century to meet a terrifyingly handsome Great Man of History and to see what Grandpa Salateen has been up to since that messy business on Androzani Minor.

This week, we discuss one of those fairly standard Judoon-based romps that have been a feature of mid-season Doctor Who for as long as any of us can remember. Nothing out of the ordinary here: it’s Fugitive of the Judoon.

Brendan discusses this episode in his most recent episode of A Walk to James’s to Record the Podcast with Whittaker, which you can find here.

This week, Peter is off to Peru to cockblock two travel vloggers, Brendan and Nathan fly to Hong Kong to reunite two estranged lovers, and Todd heads to Madagascar to drag some poor guy out of the water for some reason. And we’re all wearing plastic face masks, of course, so that we don’t come down with Praxeus.

Brendan’s rather moist take on this episode can be found, as always, on his YouTube Channel.

In this week’s flashcast episode, we spend a cathartic twenty-five minutes talking about all our deepest hopes and fears, but no one is listening because of the fingers stuck in our ears. Question marks at the ready, everyone — it’s Can you hear me?
