Happy Times and Places 90.4 - Death to the Daleks 4

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2025/04/03

Everyone seems to have had a good time with this one, but the general feeling is that it goes off the boil a bit towards the end. Will experience make a liar of rumour, or will Toby and guest Dom Woodward go round and round in circles trying to solve simple puzzles? And there are two things to choose of course - so has your host shot his bolt with Bellal too soon, and blown up his chances in a foolish act of self sacrifice? #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary #doctorwhocomedian

Happy Times and Places 90.3 - Death to the Daleks 3

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2025/03/28

Oy Exxillon city, I can see your roots! There's destruction aplenty, a pleasing amount of fire and a trip inside one of the 700 wonders of the universe and yet none of them pack as much heat as a funny little alien played by Doctor Who's longest lived actor (who was still alive when this podcast was recorded but has since, alas, passed away). Surely the best thing about this episode is agreed by everyone, or does guest Dominic Woodward have other ideas? #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction

Happy Times and Places BONUS - Rose at 20!

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2025/03/26

A sneak Preview of Happy Times and Places 100 which will feature a bevy of guests (and listener correspondence) about the rebirth of Doctor Who and its opening episode Rose. But it seemed only right to mark the occasion of its 20 anniversary (upon which this commentary was recorded) to release this slimmed down version as a preview. So this contains the whole commentary of Rose and a very special guest in the shape of showrunner then and now Russell T Davies. Happy Who-day. It's fantastic!

Happy Times and Places 90.2 - Death to the Daleks 2

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2025/03/21

Exploding Daleks, volleys of arrows, drugs : this episode has it all. The episode ends with the Doctor getting to the root of the problem but before that we have two deaths, a bit of betrayal and some funky camerawork. What will comedian Dominic Woodward chose as his favourite thing ? And as for his least favourite - does he have a little mini model of it to shoot? #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary #doctorwhocomedian #tobyhadoke #doctorwhofacts #positivedoctorwho

Happy Times and Places 90.1 - Death to the Daleks 1

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2025/03/14

Comedian and entertainer Dominic Woodward chooses his entry based on his watch, re-watch and watch again of the VHS omnibus of this adventure from the latter end of Jon Pertwee's tenure. Pertwee famously disliked the Daleks, and this story never seems to top many polls, so can Dominic inject a bit of magic into proceedings (oh yeah, he is a comedian, entertainer AND magician!) or will he... ahem ... die a death? It's time to shine a light in the darkness in order to illuminate the good points of

Happy Times and Places 89.1 - The Unquiet Dead

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2025/03/07

Back in the Days of RTD1 as it shall now be known this was, incredibly, just the third episode to be aired of this amazing new series that might have only lasted one season - that's what many of us feared anyway. It seems amazing to think of now. It was all fantastic then but the passage of time can make us more circumspect so does this Christmas Carol (from April) stand the test of the time ... and the scrutiny of our guest, comedian Jack Evans? Let take a look at the past from the present (whilst

Happy Times and Places OMNIBUS - The Visitation

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2025/02/28

Space Precinct actor and Gerry Anderson Podcast host Richard James chooses this Peter Davison story to put under the positive magnifying glass that is Happy Times and Places. Perhaps the most traditional seeming story of the Fifth Doctor's first year, The Visitation seems to have fallen out of favour in recent years. So is it a case of a plague on all four episodes or are the story's good qualities so infectiously good that by the end of it you'll be riddled with positives? #doctorwho

Well, it is part 5 if a 6 parter so there's not an awful lot of When because most of the key events and decisions regarding The Keys of Marinus have already happened. There's quite a lot of What though, much of it regarding the returning William Hartnell's apparently shaky grasp of some of his lines - and as is often the case, the evidence that is usually presented about this requires a thorough re-examination.

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2025/02/07

So, guest Daren Thomas has the final episode of The Deadly Assassin in his sights. Will he and your host come up with the same account of its merits or will they have to adjust their feedback in order to make it more palatable? And will there be a surfeit of vulgar facetiousness?

Once controversial and derided, then celebrated and important, now ... well, it's a matter of perspective innit? We take a journey into the strange, surreal world of the Matrix, which contains many individual moments that would qualify to be chosen as a Best Bit in any number of other instalments.

Well, the Doctor is in trouble, framed (and Earth expression) for a crime we know he didn't commit. As he exercises his legal rights and goes hunting for his nemeisis, what things will he do and say that will take the fancy of our guest, Holby City script editor Daren Thomas?

Happy Times and Places 87.1 - The Deadly Assassin 1

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2025/01/17

A story which has seen its popualrity fluctuate over the years - from being absolutely slated by early fandom when it came out to then being acknowledged as a true classic, it seems to have settled into a more modest position these days. It certainly breaks some rules and has the feeling of being rather important - and of course is made by some of Doctor Who's greats all gathered under one roof to strut their not inconsiderable stuff - Baker, Holmes, Hinchliffe, Maloney, Murray-Leech, Simpson,

Here we go folks - a crashing plane, World War II, Ada Lovelace with a machine gun. Lovely Joe Ford encourages host Toby Hadoke to stop worrying and learn to love the Chibnall era ... and Toby tries very hard. How he does ansd if he succeeds... well, that is up to you :) There's certainly plenty to talk and think about though: especially when some of Joe's favourite things are your host's least favourite. Is it all gonna kick off, or will they just stop it all to sit down and talk through their

Happy Times and Places 86.1 - Spyfall 1

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2025/01/03

Hapy New Year! Seems appropriate to open the New Year with a season opener - and one first broadcast at his time of year. In Toby years this is a very modern epsiode too - even though it is now (gulp) 5 years old this week! The lovely Joe Ford takes a sabbatical from his brilliant Hamster with a Blunt Penknife podcast to visit the place of happy times. But he's only gone and chosen a story from an era that your host (a) doesn't know that well and (b) struggles with. So this is going to be quite a

Happy Times and Place Omnibus - Horror of Fang Rock

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2024/12/27

A classic Doctor Who story which has been chosen by a key figure in the show's animantion range - Martin Geraghty. What will Martin draw inspiration from to celebrate about this moody, spooky, sometimes darkly funny story? Anyway, this is a good one - a terrific story that host Toby Hadoke has a lot of fun revisiting. And as ever the Omnibus has new opening and closing sections - probably only about 2% of the entire running time but at least it shows these aren't just cobbled together and provides

Happy Times and Places BONUS - A Christmas Carol

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2024/12/25

The very idea of Happy Times and Places is to banish all the humbuggery from Doctor Who discourse, so this seems an ideal episode to chose: and the time of year does it no harm either. Jason Thompson, a veteran of other estimable Who podcasts, is a fine advocate for this Christmas Special which, you host has to admit (grudgingly), he has never really had at the top of his festive watch list. Will his visitor present him with enough glimpses into the past to influence his present and change his

Human beings are always seeing patterns in things that aren't there aren't they? And Doctor Who fans are a particularly pattern-inlcined subset of the species. We mark our lives by dates, and by Doctor Who, and so certain Doctor Who dates bear a significance just to us - it's all part of our unique relationship with the show. This is about that, and hopefully has some jokes in it too. Please support these podcasts on Patreon, where you will get advance releases, exclusive content (including a

Happy Times and Places Omnibus - Fury from the Deep

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2024/12/06

A story that means a great deal to the host of this podcast has its praises sung by the most musical of advocates, Jess Jurkovic, the leading expert on Dudley Simpson scores. There has to be some guesswork here, as Fury is sadly missing from the archives, but these acts of the imagination are what being a Doctor Who fan is all about aren't they. So pour yourself a bubble bath and if you see weed, well, don't forget to scream. (See weed, seaweed, geddit?).

And so it's the end of an era, but there are some greatest hits to fit in first. But will any of these greatest hits become greatest bits for your host Toby Hadoke and his special guest, Hollyoaks star Annie Wallace. Spiders! Chases! Buddhism! One thing is crystal clear, this is a story which provokes a lot of conversation, but can Toby be positive about a story he has previously found difficult to love ... will he emerge a new man by the end? #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary
