Cloister Bell: A Doctor Who Podcast

It’s the end. But the moment has been prepared for. Join us on this special day celebrating Rob’s birthday as well as our arrival at the final story of Doctor Who’s 18th season – Logopolis. A nice lad called Mark Cockram joins us today too so do have a listen!

Before David Tennant’s Fourteenth Doctor encounters ‘The Star Beast’ we explore the original comic book story which inspired it! Today we read the Fourth Doctor comic story Doctor Who and the Star Beast, the effects of adapting existing stories and discuss our recent meet up. Meep meep!

In this podcast Rob and Liam discuss dreams, Popeye, films, novelisations, the podcast's website and the Big Finishaudio novel Watchers.

Today Liam and I reminisce on our childhood toys, geeky shops in Newcastle, at some point someone starts the hoovering, then in anticipation of Doctor Who’s 60th anniversary we revisit the First Doctor story The Celestial Toymaker and read out some divisive listener feedback.

In this week's podcast Rob and Liam discuss Black Mirror, ice-cream, drinks explode, spoons are dropped, and we also work in a discussion on Indiana Jones, Nazis and somehow find time for Tom Baker's penultimate adventure The Keeper of Traken.

With the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who almost upon us and the welcome return of David Tennant and Catherine Tate – we’ve asked our patrons to vote for a Doctor/Donna story for us to discuss… This week we return to the new era of Doctor Who as we rewatch the Tenth Doctor story Midnight. I copy Liam and he gets annoyed – and then we read out some great listener feedback. Thanks to our patrons Sonia, Grant, Mark and Harry for choosing this one. Enjoy!

Cloister Bell. We laugh at the government. Probably wanted by the police. Harming the human race with this podcast. The 21st Century’s when it all changes… On todays podcast I mix up mine and Liams names somehow and then we discuss Torchwood ‘Ghost Machine’ as well as the many other things we’ve been watching lately. Enjoy! -Rob

This week Rob and Liam discuss merchandise, the ultimate villain and season 18's "Full Circle", the first adventure in the E-space trilogy and the one which introduces us to Adric.

We kick off 2023 revisiting a Christmasy Tenth Doctor special … The Next Doctor. Back in 2008 the Tenth Doctor’s time was nearing its end and we prepared for David Morrissey’s Next Doctor. Fast forward fifteen years and Mr. Tennant is now returning to play the next Doctor. How bonkers is that. Today we chat about the The Next Doctor, you’ll find out what we’ve been up to over the New Year, we talk about James Bond’s testicles, Matt sets us a challenge, we read out some fabulous listener responses and BEWARE as we’ll be discussing spoilers for the 60th anniversary and Series Fourteen after our end credits. Enjoy!

Rob and Liam discuss cacti and Meglos.

Our journey began precisely four years ago when we first discussed The Woman Who Fell to Earth and now it’s all come full circle as we talk about Thirteens final adventure The Power of the Doctor. Today Liam takes Rob on a trip in the Tardis and we ponder the question… should this be the end of Cloister Bell Podcast?

If you like your podcasts with Liam talking far too much then you're in for a treat. If not, then we can only apologise. Anyway, Rob and Liam discuss the Big Finish story Skin of the Sleek/The Thief Who Stole Time.

Today we return to Torchwood to discuss it’s second episode Day One. We discuss what we’ve been up to and we have some very important questions about toast and gravy boats. Enjoy!
