Warm, Wise, Witty Who
Actor, comedian and broadcaster Toby Hadoke, if you didn't know already, is a Doctor Who fan whose love and enthusiasm for the show is only outmatched by his scholarly knowledge of its production and development across the decades. There are three subsections to his podcast: Largest of all, Happy Times And Places, a decidedly positive commentary in real time on random episodes and stories from the shows during which Mr Hadoke wanders from sharp insight to humorously eccentric rambling, at any given moment… and all of it highly engaging and entertaining. The second subsection, Indefinable Magic, are a series of warm, often wise and frequently witty essays on a certain aspect of the show, filtered through the prism of Toby’s personal memories. The third section, my personal favourite, is Too Much Information, in which our urbane hero analyses Doctor Who’s production with intelligence, considerable detail and punctilious research and a keen eye for the cultural circumstances surrounding each episode. It’s fascinating, charming and rather addictive. There are a lot of Doctor Who podcasts, and a fair few of them are pretty good, but Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels is among the best and my personal favourite. Toby really is a one-stop shop for all your Doctor Who needs. Although to the best of my knowledge he has never impersonated a trimphone.
