    The War Games (7" version). The Classic Doctor Who Audio Review

    Why listen to a Doctor Who related podcast?You may as well ask why we bother to breathe in after exhaling.Like oxygen, Doctor Who podcasts are difficult to live without after their magic has once been enjoyed.Like oxygen, podcasts travel through the air... sort of.And our pod-catching apps are the lungs of...Well, your ears are kind of like a nose that can...No, hang on. This simile has kinda gotten away from me.Or is it a metaphor?A proper Doctor Who podcaster would know the difference. And maybe that's the point.Yeah, let's go with that.

    CDWAQ 020

    In the last edition of the CDWAQ Season One, we find out about the distressing rise in energy bills, Dalek 'skirt bumps', alternative uses for weasel skulls, and why Doctor Who used to have a catflap.But, to be fair, you're not going to learn anything new or terribly important so, y'know, if Death in Paradise is on, or you've been meaning to start that book, well, don't worry, you're really not going to miss much.But... for those brave souls who are even yet determined to undergo the ordeal of episode twenty... welcome!This is going to be loads of fun. And it's still free until that bloody podcast tax kicks in early next year.So - have at it! Eldrad must live.

    "Ask not what Doctor Who can do for you - ask rather what you can do to support, promote and increase the renown of Doctor Who"Wise words from the new president. And who better embodies the spirit of these presidential postulations than those who invested their hard-earned paper round money in a 'proper' microphone and a sensible haircut and now surf the podwaves to honour the greatest long-running BBC science fiction family adventure series in the galaxy?Good on you, Who-podders

    There's only one thing you really need to know about the Classic Doctor Who Audio Quiz. And we've decided not to tell you what that is. It would ruin whatever paltrey trace of fun that exists in the listening experience.Best to find your own way onto the True Path of Righteousness

    The Edge of Destruction ( hyper-extended remix ). The Classic Doctor Who Audio Review

    This podcast stands in tribute to the legion of Doctor Who related podcasters everywhere*.We owe you a debt that can never be repaid, even with Grotzits...~*except in San Marino, Botswana, Mesopotamia and the badlands south of the Mbaracayu mountain range in Paraguay. Oh, and Berwick upon Tweed.And Southern Finland.

If you mention currently trending topics, you will appear in more searches.Remember. It's your podcast. Make it stand out. Like a quark in a Visian volleyball team.

    The Edge of Destruction ( Album version ). The Classic Doctor Who Audio Review

    Is this the real life?Is this just fantasy?Caught in a landslideNo escape from realityOpen your eyesLook up to the skies and seeI'm just a poor fan of Doctor Who related podcasts, and the incredible pod-people who make them happen, and I make no apology for it...

    The Edge of Destruction ( 12" version ). The Classic Doctor Who Audio Review

    What's that coming over the hill?Is it a monster?Is it a Doctor Who monster?No. It's the host of a Doctor Who related podcast, and she's got urgent questions about Susan's careless misuse of everyday household implements.

    CDWAQ 016

    The Classic Doctor Who Audio Quiz isn't perfect.It's not particularly cool, and it's certainly not popular.But at least it's...At least it can...No, I've lost my thread.Thing is... we found out from Podponder Analytics this week that we actually have a listener. In Poland. And it's made us kind of self-conscious.But don't worry. We gathered around the quiz table before this shocking discovery, so it didn't affect the episode.Orb only knows what happens next week, though. Can we continue to operate the quiz in English when we now have a terrestrial audience that appears to be exclusively foreign?And not from the colonies, either, where one can assume an appreciation of the Queen's tongue. Or is it knowledge of the King's tongue? Our listener almost certainly learned Russian at a school where Doctor Who wasn't on the syllabus and English wasn't an option.Tell you what... drop us a line at the Quiz Centre and we'll see if we can sort out some kind translation, transcription or transmutation to accomodate our far-flung, if solitary listenership.We're not here to alienate anybody. It's what the Doctor would have wanted. Well, maybe not the Third Doctor, actually. Or Hartnell...Anyway, our podcast, despite its extra-terrestrial commision, appears to have a human listener. One can only imagine that they have no concept of the grisly fate that awaits them...

    The Edge of Destruction ( 7" remix - AA side ). The Classic Doctor Who Audio Review

    I said a-hip hop a-hibby a-hibby to the hip hip hop a-you don't stop the rockin', to the bam bam boogie say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogedy beat. Now what you hear is not a test, it's Doctor Who related podcasters, ploughing on in the most difficult circumstances. Perservering in the face of unimaginable hardship and peril to bring us their much-needed thoughts on the twelfth and thirteenth episodes of this beloved television programme....It's on you, so whatcha gonna do?

    CDWAQ 015

    OK. It's time once more to put down your Target novel and carefully remove your clobber club from its wall-mounted bracket, because... its Quiz Time!Let joy be unconfined.Let merriment prevail.Let someone else clean up the crisp packets and empty sherbert fountain wrappers and let battle commence!For your own safety, please keep your tentacles inside the space vehicle at all times.

    The Edge of Destruction ( 7" version - A side ). The Classic Doctor Who Audio Review

    From the dawn of human history, as our ancestors scrabbled in the dirt for sustenance, fashioning crude sonic screwdrivers out of twigs and shells, we have striven to understand our universe and ourselves. Since 1963, we have been lucky enough to have Doctor Who to guide us onto the science fiction path of truth. Once again we highlight and admire the noble truth-seekers, the pure of heart and tongue, the Doctor Who podcasters who light the way in the eternal darkness with only their wit and wisdom to protect them from the Chronovores, the hecklers and the Quarks. We can only pray that we are worthy of their example...

    As the Solar flares subside, and communication is once again possible between the CDWAQ lunar fortress and the Quiz Reception Centres on Earth, we invite the intrepid quiz warriors amongst you to participate in the new TARDIS Trivia Tournament. The price of failure is, as always, harsh, painful and immediate, but... should you prevail, and qualify for the second round of TTT001, you will be transported to the CDWAQ orbiting quiz platform for a Battle Royale clash with seven other combatants where your trivia knowledge and your hand-to-hand fighting skills will be put to the ultimate test. Good luck to each of you.And may Amdo have mercy on your soul...

    The Edge of Destuction ( trailer ). The Classic Doctor Who Audio Review

    Once again the intrepid creators of Doctor Who related podcasts, who we honour here, have boldly stepped into the void, with little regard for their own safety or renown, to discuss the incredible classic serial, the Edge of Destruction.If we are able to see further today, it is by standing on the shoulders of these unheralded giants. And once again we raise our glasses and rinse our contact lenses to these amazing pod people...

    CDWAQ 013

    Those taking part in this week's quiz will be painfully aware of its importance - and what's at stake: the last berth on the generational colony ship Kamelion, and a chance to survive the imminent implosion of the Earth.As usual, we remind all players not to mention the decaying planet, or the possibility of escaping to New Terra, to those not associated with the quiz, as most are as yet unaware of their impending destruction. And those that are can be understandably touchy on the subject.Obviously, we at CDWAQ Lunar Control Bunker have our places on the mission already assured. As well as our families and their friends. And their friends' tennis partners. And the sponsors, obviously. And their mates, too, of course.Anyway... long story short, there's only one place left on the ship, so get sharpening those battle-blades!

    Well... Artemis II has returned to Earth after its journey to the Moon and back.They orbited the sleeping satellite.We watched them on our stealth monitors as the Orion spacecraft drifted slowly across the sky overhead.Luckily (touch wood) they don't seem to have spotted us in our crater, and our presence on the Moon continues to evade the attention of the wider world.So well done to everyone who has made it possible to maintain this secret in advance of TTTD - Total Terra Takeover Day.T minus 1440 Rels...

    The Daleks (extended 12" remix). The Classic Doctor Who Audio Review

    We don't claim to have invented the Doctor Who related podcast.And, to be fair, we've added nothing to the genre.On the other hand, it's not like we're hurting anybody...

    The Daleks (album version). The Classic Doctor Who Audio Review

    "Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun." Mostly harmless? Don't let the creators of Doctor Who related podcasts hear that.Thanks to them, we as a species have crawled from the primordial ooze, microphone clasped in one hand, quantum regulator clutched in the other, to establish ourselves as the dominant life form. Intellectually, culturally and spiritually we have left our sea-bound ancestors behind, exceded the achievements of the dinosaurs and taken our place at the pinnacle of civilisation.All thanks to the masters of the podwaves and the long-running TV show they honour. Look out, silurians! We've heard your podcasts and you ain't ready for us, baby...

    CDWAQ 010

    Who was the woman wearing the stripey jacket, in the one with the killer robot? What was the most exciting episode of season 13? Who created the daleks? These are all excellent trivia questions (and were submitted to us by a keen listener - thanks, Norman). But to find out if they made it into this week's edition of the Classic Doctor Who Audio Quiz, press 'Play' now...

    The Daleks - 7 inch version. The Classic Doctor Who Audio Review

    There are two types of people in this world. There are those who have the courage, vision and fortitude to express their opinions of classic BBC science fiction television via an online, audio medium, paying no heed to the doubters, mockers and Voords, pressing ever onward to publish yet another episode - perhaps about Image of the Fendahl, who knows?Then there are the other people. Those who tremble in the shadows, never chancing to stray from the peripheries of life, not daring to express any potentially controversial view on the quality of the costumes in The Dominators, or take sides in the endless Draconian vs. Ogron debate.This podcast is dedicated to all those brave people who step forward into the light when a discussion arises over the subtle differences in studio lighting between episodes two and three of The Ark, and dare to say "here's what I think"...

    Congratulations! If you are reading this, you are into the last group of 32 contestants, battling it out to represent the CDWAQ in this summer's Galactic 'Bludgeon n Bloodfest' 26. All of your skills will be required should you be the chosen one to enter the Cage of Spikes, so keep practising your bashing and slashing while you negotiate the trickier questions - like those about the Mandragora Helix and the design of the badges on the Kaled uniforms... But, I've said too much. I wish you all good luck. Don't forget to suck your anti-radiation lozenge before you activate the quiztank evacuation hatch.

    The Daleks - trailer. The Classic Doctor Who Audio Review

    It's not 'what' you know that counts... It's not even 'Who' you know... It's who you choose to listen to on your favourite Doctor Who-related podcasts that really counts when determining your fate. We join our heroes as they discuss, ever so briefly, the first ever appearance of one of the greatest alien races ever devised by mortal scriptwriter. The scions of Skaro... the Thals...

    SPECIAL NOTICE. The Classic Doctor Who Audio Quiz Lunar Division would like to extend its heartfelt condolences to all those affected by the tragedy this week.Our ill-fated Mars Project was built on dreams and fuelled by hope.Unfortunately, it would have been better to use M3 Varient rocket fuel, as this would have given our brave team a better chance to escape the grisly talons of Earth's cloying atmosphere and offered them a greater opportunity to reach their rose-coloured destination and breathe the cool, clear, life-giving air of Mars...Their sacrifice cannot be over -estimated.They will not be forgotten. ~ Look out for CDWAQ Mars Project 2 - coming soon. Brought to you by FIZZ-AID. Even when it's chilled... it's ice hot!New Rocket Raspberry flavour.

    An Unearthly Child - extended 12inch trance mix. The Classic Doctor Who Audio Review

    When we appraise the greatest works of human endeavour, such things spring to mind as Plato's Republic, the Epic of Gilgamesh, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's 'Been to the Mountain-top' speech, and, of course, the various podcasts dedicated to cogitation upon the long-running BBC science-fiction adventure series, Doctor Who.Here, we attempt, in our small way, to celebrate and preserve the achievements of the mighty stalwarts who ploughed the furrows, forged the path and harnessed the precious podwaves so that others may follow.Future generations will inevitably hail them as pioneers, visionaries, even heroes.This is our humble tribute to their genius and fortitude.On behalf of those yet to come, we salute you, pod-people!

    CDWAQ 007

    Sometimes one must ask 'why'...Why can't the Doctor control the tardis?Why was JNT allowed to bring Kamelion on board...?Why Bonnie Langford.The sixth Doctor's costume. Why?And... Why did Alpha Centauri stay on Peladon for so long after the committee of assessment passed judgement - and what did they do for all that time?Refreshingly, the Classic Doctor Who Audio Quiz does not try to answer any of these questions. And perhaps you'll agree that that's a good thing...
