In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast.... Review - AWOL This week, Phil and Paul listen to another Short Trips story from Big Finish and this time it's AWOL, starring Jon Culshaw. Phil really loves this audio drama, so he was interested in Paul's take on this story which fills in the blanks between the third Doctor stories The Silurians and The Ambassadors of Death and fleshes out the relationship between the Doctor and the Brigadier. And as a bonus, they introduce everyone to the phrase "the reverse Paddington". You can currently find us on X, Threads, Mastodon, Bluesky and Facebook.

In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast..... Review - Dead Media This week, Phil and Scott turn their attention to a 12th Doctor Short Trip story from Big FInish, Dead Media. Starring Jacob Dudman as the 12th Doctor, this sees the Doctor in an adventure at St. Lukes University before he met Bill Potts. Old audio formats feature heavily in this story (it's a cassette is it?), which might frighten younger listeners. But our reviewing duo drift away and talk about no Doctor Who on the telly, despite Phil's best efforts not to. You can currently find us on X, Threads, Mastodon, Bluesky and Facebook.

In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast.... Random Who - The Faceless Ones To finish off Troughton Month, the randomiser threw up The Faceless Ones for Phil and Scott to chat about.

In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast.... Review - The Evil of The Daleks In this podcast continuing Troughton Month, Phil, Paul and Scott provide their thoughts on the differing novelisations of The Evil of The Daleks, one written by John Peel and the other written by Frazer Hines. But is this really the best Doctor Who story as was voted for during the shows 30th anniversary year, or is it a long winded story, bloated with too many characters that serve no purpose other than to be Dalek fodder? Listen to find out what they thought as they discuss the differences between the written and visual versions and will Paul wearing no trousers really help matters?

In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast.... Welcome the Fourth Doctor - Robot Phil & Scott continue their series of looking at how good how each Doctor's inaugural stories were at introducing them to the waiting world, with Robot, starring Tom Baker. With a riff on King Kong and THAT tank, do the lads think this was successful in introducing the mighty Tom Baker to the world of Doctor Who, and would Professor Kettlewell's hairstyle suit Phil?

In this episode of the Who's He? Podcast.... Doctor Who is over for the foreseeable future, so Scott and Phil decided to have short chat about what could happen to the show and what they would like to see stay the same or change. Well, that was the plan. What this actually turned into was an hour long, fractious and argumentative conversation in which Scott was struggling to undertand why his Dad was turning into a bitter old Doctor Who fan. Which he isn't. Honestly. You can currently find us on X, Threads, Mastodon, Bluesky and Facebook.
