Splendid Chaps
by Splendid Chaps Productions
"A smash hit" - TimeOut Splendid Chaps was a year-long celebration of Doctor Who fiftieth anniversary: eleven - well, okay, twenty-something - live performances recorded as podcasts in which your brain will be fed, your funny bone tickled and your hearts opened (yes, both of them!). Hosted by writer John Richards (Outland, Boxcutters), comedian Ben McKenzie (Dungeon Crawl, Pratchat) and singer Petra Elliott, with special guests, musical performances and surprises in every episode. And while the anniversary year is now long behind us, the Chaps still pop back up from time to time to discuss the parts of Who the original episodes couldn't reach.
