Doctor Who: The Eleventh Hour Podcast
-
7.13 - Nightmare in Silver (EMERGENCY PODCAST)
We were going to refer to this as "the most late episode of The Eleventh Hour Podcast ever", being that it's being released on the same day as the NEXT episode of Doctor Who but that's pure nonsense when one investigates the relaxed release schedule for the A Good Man Goes to War episode, the Torchwood double final and any given Christmas Special, and that's before you even consider the famously relaxed The Mind Robber episode. Also, technically we still haven't released a proper episode for...
-
7.12 - The Crimson Horror
The Crimson Horror sees Mark Gatiss finally ploughing the Victorian penny dreadful furrow after years of avoiding it and gives us the Doctor-lite episode that's the least light on the Doctor. Weirdness abounds in Sweetville and it's up to the Spin Off Series gang to sort it out and save the day with the power of deception and laser weaponry. Will they? Yes. Join Joe and Chris as they pour fizzy drinks, inexpertly read emails at you, talk once again about racism and non-consensual kissing and...

7.11 - Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS
Fanservice is an awkward thing to pull off. Unless you give people specifically, exactly what they want, you're probably better off not bothering. When the fanbase is that of Doctor Who, a series with wild differences in tone, presentation style and accepted continuity, then you're most likely on a hiding to nothing trying to give them what you think they want. And thus it fell to Stephen "Lowered Expectations" Thompson to try to live up to the poisoned chalice of a title he'd been given to...
-
7.10 - Hide
A terrifying thing happened to us when we were getting ready to record this podcast. A man, dressed all in rags, knocked at the door and then started screaming at us and clawing at thin air. We didn't know how to react, we just stood there transfixed in sheer terror. Suddenly, he stopped. "This is Maor Grove, right"? "No," we replied, "that's a couple of streets away". "My apologies," he said, "they are the people expecting the Insane-Screaming-Vagrant-o-Gram" and left. Thus our sheer terror...
-
7.09 - Cold War
In Cold War, regular Who contributor and consummate ginger Mark Gatiss delivers a classic Who-style claustrophobic yarn, complete with returning old-school monsters... OR DOES HE? If we were being uncharitable (and when are we anything else?) we might claim that sentence right there was more tension than Gatiss managed in the entire episode; the consensus on which seems to be that it somehow managed to combine several potentially-exciting ingredients (Russians! Submarine! Ice Warriors! David...
-
7.08 - The Rings of Akhaten
Take it all, baby! Take ALL of this podcast! Take it right down into your ears. The Rings of Akhaten, then. It's probably fair to say that this wasn't popular with your general audience, but do we fall into step with this general audience or did we think it was brilliant? Or, did we think it was broadly acceptable but with too many problems to ignore? Or do we largely repeat the anti-climactic Silurian Smackdown 2020 A.D. wherein our opinions are slightly more divergent from each other than...
-
7.07 - The Bells of Saint John
So she's finally here, performing for you. It's Clara Oswald. The third one and seemingly the "proper" one, but who knows? Well, the writer knows and he's not going to tell you other than via the medium of a television series which, frankly, is the point. Join Joe and Chris as they wrestle with another new way of recording the episode and finding a day to do it on given their new, busy schedules as functional humans in the world at large. Did we like Richard E. Grant's Matrix-style face? Did...
-
7.XX - The Snowmen
Nothing says "late February" like a Christmas episode, and with that in mind here comes the most delayed Eleventh Hour Podcast Christmas episode ever. For the first time ever, Chris has a synthesizer set up and frankly takes too much advantage of this fact. Join Joe and Chris as they make the song "For Your Eyes Only" even more sickening, say ever more inadvisable things (almost immediately and throughout) and solve the riddle to "Doctor Who?" (it involves homeopathy). This year, we have a...
-
Torchwood: Miracle Day - Escape to L.A.
Hello, y'all. Miracle Day powers on by having nothing really happen again, except for some people doing some stupid things and then getting upset about them. Still, never mind. Against all odds we remain hopeful that it's still going somewhere. In this episode Joe records using his computer's internal mic and sounds great, Chris records in the same way as usual and his recording is all full of plosive pops, sorry about that. Come and find out why we would say things like "woo!", "we detected...
-
Torchwood: Miracle Day - Rendition & Dead of Night
We're back. After an almost disastrously will-sapping episode 2, Jane Espenson has arrived and added enough genuine writing talent into proceedings to make us actually record an episode. Join Joe and Chris as they turn slowly into robots, laugh at John Barrowman impressions and proclaim their love for each other before your very ears. eleventhhourpodcast@gmail.com twitter.com/EHPodcast tinyurl.com/EHPodcast
-
Torchwood: Miracle Day - The New World
Nobody dies these days, except the previously immortal Captain Jack Harkness, probably. Jack's previously impervious nature is one of many things not adequately explained for a new audience. Still, it's early days and nobody was killed by a vagina so it's looking fairly positive as Torchwood goes. Join Joe and Chris as we take a brief look at Russell T Davies's attempt to break into America. Something he's done by crow-barring in some Welsh folks that the target audience may find...
-
6.07 A Good Man Goes to War
So delayed, but for such good reasons. Actually, tell a lie, there were good reasons for the delay of the recording, the delay of the editing and release is purely due to the laziness of one of our number, who shall remain Chris. Not much to say on this one. Enjoy our talk of nurses, jelly babies, liking tit and even more over the top laughter than usual. And, finally, thank you for your patience. eleventhhourpodcast@gmail.com twitter.com/EHPodcast tinyurl.com/EHPodcast

6.06 The Almost People
Well we're back in the realm of W, T, and indeed F with another cliffhanger that can only be referred to as 'THAT cliffhanger'. The reaction to this episode has been divisive, to say the very least, and this was reflected in the amount of feedback we received this week. Therefore we decided to let the episode be a little bit more feedback-focused than usual, in a way that we hope you don't find annoying. After last week's early, slimmed down, fighting fit podcast we've reverted back to type,...
-
6.05 The Rebel Flesh
STOP THE PRESSES! Wow, an early episode! The Eleventh Hour Podcast may have to change its name, having slid in an episode in only the fifth or sixth hour. The forces of technology smiled upon us this week, and yet a mild disagreement still broke out. The Rebel Flesh was an enjoyable slice of classic sci-fi, reminiscent of much older Doctor Who but how good was it, exactly? Quite? Somewhat? Rather? Also how much muff can one fit into a cliffhanger? Clearly something is going on in this...
-
6.04 The Doctor's Wife
"The Doctor's Wife". Was it a brilliant episode that lived up to its lofty expectations to move, amuse and scare in equal measure? Or was it a mawkish slapdash update of a beloved piece of Doctor Who mytho... I'm sorry, I can't keep this up, it was a truly amazing episode. OR WAS IT? Prepare yourselves, listeners for a disagreement in opinion so minor it makes last year's Silurian Smackdown look like the Thrilla in Manila. A disagreement so minor that it caused the very forces of technology...
-
6.03 The Curse of the Black Spot
Or "The Curse of the Bad Plot" as one of our listeners put it. Was it a terrible mess with explanations that made no sense or was it a clever piece of television that we will come to appreciate when it is deconstructed in a future episode? Clue - it's not the second one Secondary clue - it was rubbish. eleventhhourpodcast@gmail.com http://tinyurl.com/EHPodcast @EHPodcast
-
6.02 - Day of the Moon
Who was she, then? Do we have any clue? Of course we don't! Come and hear us flounder about like a pair of idiots in the face of the WTFiest cliffhanger this side of a mysterious island. Hear about the Pork Horse and Yank4Cash and maybe some stuff about Doctor Who as well. We aren't really selling it in these notes, but barely anyone reads this stuff anyway! eleventhhourpodcast@gmail.com tinyutl.com/EHPodcast @EHPodcast
-
Episode 6.01 - The Impossible Astronaut
The 2011 season kicks off and drops you right in it. This year, the production team of the series has decided that if you've never seen Doctor Who before, tough luck. Pay close attention and catch up or get stuffed and so we get a dizzying concoction of death, aliens, presidents and Things That Make No Sense. Very impressive. Joe and Chris are back with the shave chat, Creme Egg omelettes and a spoiler for Torchwood: Children of Earth (sorry about this, consider it a warning but it's the...
-
Christmas 2010: A CHRISTMAS CAROL
Less than one entire month after the showing of "A Christmas Carol", and about two weeks since they recorded the episode, Joe and Chris are here to tell you what they thought, as well as their thoughts on some of the other Christmas specials and many other things not even close to being on topic. You will learn what Any and Rory have in common with Cassandra and Rodney from Only Fools and Horses and which Star Trek star appears in Joe's sexy, sexy dreams. Is it Marina Sirtis? Let's find out...
-
William Hartnell - The First Doctor
Joe and Chris dive headfirst into their first Classic Doctor Who episode, for one of William Hartnell's adventures. As we actually select which adventure we'll cover on the show, you may wish to just listen and find out. If, however, you want to know beforehand (especially if you want to make sure you've seen said adventure first) the title is included underneath the contact information which follows the next paragraph. This is our first ever complete recording for the show with us both in...

Death of the Doctor aka 507 Varieties
507 Regenerations? Is it to be taken seriously? Is it bad form to poke fun at Katy Manning's eyesight? Can Liz Shaw keep control of her skirt on the moon? Which male listener liked Santiago and which female listener enjoyed Jo and Sarah's coffin cuddle? Which listener is sexually depraved? FIND OUT! http://eleventhhourpodcast.blogspot.com eleventhhourpodcast@gmail.com http://twitter.com/EHPodcast

Episode 5.13: THE BIG BANG
It's finally upon us. The end. Not, perhaps, the final end but enough of an end for now. Join Joe and Chris as they bring their recollections of the series into being purely by REMEMBERING them and also bid a fond farewell to CRACKWATCH and the frankly superhuman levels of editing it generates. @EHPodcast eleventhhourpodcast@gmail.com eleventhhourpodcast.blogspot.com
-
Episode 5.12: THE PANDORICA OPENS
As promised, the Pandorica has opened and here we are again in our non-digital-representation forms. Join us as we talk about the episode, whether it's superior to what Russell would have done, who the mystery voice could be etc. Contains the sound of us excitingly typing the name of the possible Big Bad at each other so as not to say the name out loud. Join us, won't you? @EHPodcast eleventhhourpodcast@gmail.com eleventhhourpodcast.blogspot.com

Episode 5.11: THE LODGER (emergency voicemail-only...
Surprise! It's an episode! Right when we said there wouldn't be one. It's just five minutes long, introducing the voicemails we would have included in the great lost episode. For those who email, our apologies for not getting to you. Voicemails: Kevin gives us his CRACKWATCH MB gets confused Ros gets excited Tosus gets ahead of himself. We'll see you again quite soon, when the Pandorica opens. @EHPodcast eleventhhourpodcast@gmail.com eleventhhourpodcast.blogspot.com a...
-
Episode 5.10: VINCENT AND THE DOCTOR
In a one-time-only never to be repeated happenstance, this episode of EH? runs to a little over two and a half hours long, due in large part to the masses of feedback we received about the excellent, and affecting, Vincent and the Doctor. Hopefully you'll allow us this indulgence just this once. Also, as mentioned on the show, Joe and Chris recently appeared on the excellently fun Confessions of an Internet Addict (http://confessionsofaninternetaddict.net) which we fully recommend as further...
-
Episode 5.09: COLD BLOOD
SILURIAN SMACKDOWN 2020 (AD) Chris Chibnall offers us the chance to compare 2010 Who with 1970 Who with results that might not necessarily be deemed successful. However, at the time of recording, there was a gulf between Joe and Chris's opinion on the episode leading to the proposed auditory brawl above. In the end, though, we find ourselves reaching a consensus by dint of how well written we thought the episode was. But hey, let's not spoil it here - listen and find out if we loved it or...
-
Episode 5.08: THE HUNGRY EARTH
This is the sound of EH? on disappointment. Not that The Hungry Earth was a bad episode as such, but more that it didn't really provoke much reaction from us in either direction. Still, come with us as we plumb the depths, mining the episode for all it's worth and finding out if there's anything much beneath the surface. Also - hear us attempt classic Silurian voices. It doesn't go well. @EHPodcast eleventhhourpodcast@gmail.com eleventhhourpodcast.blogspot.com
-
Episode 5.07: AMY'S CHOICE
Five years after the events of the Eleventh Hour Podcast, Joe and Chris have settled down in peaceful Upper Podcastshire, but one day their rural idyll is shattered by the arrival of A Badly Thought Out Metaphor Based On The Doctor Who Episode "Amy's Choice" Don't blame us, it's late and we aren't very clever. @EHPodcast eleventhhourpodcast@gmail.com eleventhhourpodcast.blogspot.com
-
Episode 5.06: THE VAMPIRES OF VENICE
The "Vampiric Puns Guidebook" states that we must begin this update by imploring you to get your teeth into the new episode of EH?, in which Joe and Chris discuss The Vampires of Venice and look up stuff live on the internet AS YOU LISTEN. Some good listener feedback this week, too. Thanks to everyone who has emailed and commented on the blog. It's much appreciated! @EHPodcast eleventhhourpodcast@gmail.com eleventhhourpodcast.blogspot.com
-
Episode 5.05: FLESH AND STONE
Battling against the odds here is The Eleventh Hour Podcast! Good job we don't have a specific scheduled release day. Enjoy in good health, and see if you agree that this is possibly our strangest playlist to date. @EHPodcast eleventhhourpodcast@gmail.com eleventhhourpodcast.blogspot.com
-
Episode 5.04: THE TIME OF ANGELS
Join Joe and Chris on thie week's EH? as we discuss the wisdom of Steven Moffat whacking two of his most popular Doctor Who creations together in the same episode while also resolutely not saying "CRACKWATCH!" For a while at least. Remember to keep listening, as if you stop, we will emerge out of your speakers and earphones at speeds that defy human comprehension. @EHPodcast eleventhhourpodcast@gmail.com eleventhhourpodcast.blogspot.com
-
Episode 5.03: VICTORY OF THE DALEKS
Joe and Chris are back to discuss Victory of the Daleks, an episode which has received an almost unanimous kicking from the Doctor Who fanbase but find that in the end they have to concede that their expectations were higher than the episode could deliver. But, you'll be amazed how little we mention the Dalek redesign, which is a refreshing change, right? Last week, our sexy deep breathing caused listener Rose to suggest she had to "cover [her] ovaries' ears", so we're doing it again this...
-
Episode 5.02: THE BEAST BELOW
After last week's glitchfest, welcome to the "recorded in a totally different way" EH? wherein the extra clarity of the recording, coupled with seasonal sinus fun, gives you a very human sounding podcast complete with sniffles and sexy heavy breathing. Geronimo! @EHPodcast eleventhhourpodcast@gmail.com eleventhhourpodcast.blogspot.com
-
Episode 5.01: THE ELEVENTH HOUR
Hello! After some experimental podcast nibblings, welcome to our proper episode one. We've had some teething problems with our recording software so you will hear a few glitches. Most of them have been edited around. But enough of the apology: join Joe and Chris as we CHAT ABOUT DOCTOR WHO. YES! @EHPodcast eleventhhourpodcast@gmail.com eleventhhourpodcast.blogspot.com

Episode ZERO - a.k.a. The Zero Room
Joe and Chris engage in rampant speculation and uncharacteristic spoiling in this excite-o-cast prior to the 2010 Doctor Who series.
