HT&P 102.1 - The Ark 1

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2026/01/23

The podcasters went in two by two to weather the storm of Doctor Who opinion about this story. The Ark seems to be no-one's favourite entry in the canon but this fact baffles both your host and this edition's special guest, Mark Aldridge, an academic (so he'll be clever) who also has knowledge outside of the Whoniverse being, as he is, a huge expert on Agatha Christie. So let's apply those little grey cells to the best things about this instalment (one of which is grey itself - and is certainly

Too Much Information 6.2 - The Warriors of Death

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2026/01/16

Susan's all on film, one of the sets goes missing, and Sydney Newman is not impressed with one of the regulars: all in a week's work for those heady pioneering days. The TARDIS crew argue about chaging history, blissfully unaware the history - well, television history - is what they are in the process of making themselves. This blow-by-blow account covers the making of the second episode of The Aztecs and introduces us to two of its key cast members, one at the beginning of his TV career, and one

Happy Times and Places 101.2 - The Forest of the Dead

Well, the River's about to run dry on this one but not before podcaster Richard Smith chooses his favourite things about the episode.

Happy Times and Places 101 - Silence in the Library

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2026/01/02

Happy New Year. Our resolution is to read more: so where better to go than the biggest library in the universe. Podcaster Richard Smith chooses his favourite things but will they be found on the same shelf as those of your host? Or are they not remotely on the same page? Oh, and if you're listening to this on the day that it is released, please don't forget to wish Toby a happy birthday! #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary #doctorwhocomedian #tobyhadoke #doctorwhofacts

Indefinable Magic 37 - Alive: With Honours

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2026/01/01

Happy New Year! With Tom Baker receiving his MBE in 2025, and rumours abounding that Peter Capaldi has turned down an invite from the Palace, it's high time we had a look at who has been honoured by the Queen (and now King) and has also passed through the Whonioverse. As ever there are surprises, patterns and coincidences, as well as, of course, differences of opinion. You would honour this podcast by having a listen. This was written and recorded before the New Year's Honours of 2026 were announced

HT&P CHRISTMAS SPECIAL - Last Christmas

2025/12/25

Happy Christmas everyone. No festive Doctor Who episode this year - so here's a Christmas special of Happy Times and Places in which your host Toby Hadoke and convention organiser and writer Steve Hatcher decide upon their favourite things about Last Christmas (the episode, not the event). Or do they? #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary #doctorwhocomedian #tobyhadoke #doctorwhofacts #positivedoctorwho Please support these podcasts on Patreon, where you will get advance releases,

Happy Times and Places OMNIBUS - Resurrection of the...

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2025/12/20

A treat from the archives as documentary producer Ed Stradling and host Toby Hadoke reunite, having made a programme on this story for the BBC DVD range. They worked well then, but can they be in accord now about their favourite things in this controversial, rather violent tale... or will they end up shooting each other? Or melting their faces? Or releasing poison gas? #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary #doctorwhocomedian #tobyhadoke #doctorwhofacts #positivedoctorwho

Indefinable Magic 35 - It's Back!

2025/12/05

As the 62nd Anniversary of Doctor Who approaches this month, AND we are still in the 20th Anniversary year of New Who (which we really have to stop calling it) a reminder that some of us were around for the previous 20th Anniversary back in November 1983. So as we celebrating 20 years of the resurrection of Doctor Who, here's a look back to a time when New Who wasn't even Now Who... the build up to the return of the show and its parallels or otherwise with the other 20th Anniversary. #doctorwho

HT&P Omnibus - The Green Death

American fan Rueben Herfindahl brings his unique perspective to this firm fan favourite: will your host, by a happy accident, choose the same favoruite things, or will he been green with envy because of Reuben's choices? It's an omnibus, so it's a long one! #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary #doctorwhocomedian #tobyhadoke #doctorwhofacts #positivedoctorwho #classicdoctorwho Please support these podcasts on Patreon, where you will get advance releases, exclusive content (including a

And so here it is - the final countdown to your most desired of the 97 missing episodes of Doctor Who. Special guest Russell T Davies tells us what he would like in the fantasy car boot sale where 17 film cans are ready to be purchased. Only one story has all of its episodes in the Top 20, but which individual instalment will win out? With observations from an array of voters including fans of yore Jeremy Bentham and Patrick Mulkern, writers Simon Guerrier and Pete McTighe, and such diverse talents

This was released in a condensed form for the 20th Anniversary of the 2005 return of Doctor Who, but that version only featured one guest : but what a guest - the main man himself, Russell T Davies. However, for this sepcial 62nd Anniversary edition (alright, it's the anniverasry of the original run, but hey, it's all the same show) AND to mark 100 stories covered in Happy Times and Places, here is the full version.

HT&P 99.1 - School Reunion

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2025/11/14

An episode that means an awful lot to your host - and let's be honest, he probably wouldn't be here without it as it features quite strongly in his Moths Ate My Doctor Who Scarf show. And so it seemed appropriate to break it out in the run up to the 100th edition. Sarah Jane! K-9! Giles from Buffy! There's so much going on here that Paul Griggs, interviewer and podcaster extraordinaire, is spoilt for choice. And it's hard to believe it was on nearly 20 years ago. We got old Sarah. #doctorwho

This was supposed to be the second and final episode but it ended up going on a bit - so we have the countdown from Joint 77th to Joint 30th in our search for the most requested missing episodes to turn up at a fantasy car boot sale. Along the way there will be facts, trivia and observations, plus we have vocal contributions from writer, actor and all round renaissance man Mark Gatiss, actor and comedian Tom Burgess, and the writer of Full Circle, Andrew Smith : all bona fide Doctor Who fans who

With all this missing episodes speculation in the air, your Host With The Most (that is "Most Patience For Wrangling Arcane Facts and Stats Because He's A Very Boring Man") Toby Hadoke has found the time too reach out to various Doctor Who fans (writers, actors, journalists and missing episode finders amongst them) in order to draw up a list of the episodes and stories most people would like to see returned to the archive. His request was simple - you're at a car boot sales, and some old fella has,

Too Much Information 6.1 - The Temple of Evil

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2025/10/23

And so we are off to Mexico for another adventure in pure history. It turns out you can rewrite the odd line, especially during rehearsal, but this episode poses some new questions for the format of the show and showcases a director who helms his only full Doctor Who story here. The writer gets some press attention, one of the regulars jets off on holiday, and the music is composed by someone who had a unique place in Who history - and he is duly showcased here. It's the When, What and Who of The

HT&P OMNIBUS - The Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone

We're out of your host's comfort zone again - we are trying to up the new series episodes as we don't want to run out of Classic Who early. So here we are with some of the first ever Matt Smith stuff to be recorded. Oh yes, here at Happy Times... we remember when Matt Smith was new - seems like yesterday! A rare American contributor to the show, Joe Lewallen, is a fabulous and fascinating guest, and instead of plugging something for you to purchase, he has asked to link to a very good cause, which

HT&P 98.4 - The Invisible Enemy 4

2025/10/09

And so we go back to where it all began when we reach the climax of The Invisible Enemy, the starting point of your host's rather bizarre decision to dedicate pretty much his whole life to Doctor Who. What a peculiar thing to do. And yet he'll still manage to shoehorn in a reference to The Other Programme, the scarlet capsuled temptress that is Quatermass: he has a book out about it you know. And his guest, Iain Key ALSO has a book out. But will they be on the same page when it comes to choosing

HT&P 98.3 - The Invisible Enemy 3

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2025/10/02

So we've gone from a hospital into the Doctor's brain. What knowledge can be found in there? The best way to the nearest pub? Probably - but all that and more as there's a battle going on outside too. Not to mention this podcast, which is about a meeting of minds and seeing if everyone is on the same wavelength. Is that the case this time? Or will the points go to our guest, Iain Key, writer of a new book about The Clash. #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary #doctorwhocomedian

HT&P 98.2 - The Invisible Enemy 2

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2025/09/25

And so a change of scenery as we move location in this - a story with many different landscapes. What never changes though, is everyone's love for Michael Sheard, even though he's a baddie this time around. We meet a pretty interesting cast and there's a bit of chatter about this episode's one-off director... and then there's the small matter of a robot dog who was only supposed to stick around for three episodes but somehow slips off his lead and causes havoc for the next couple of years.

2025/09/18

As we count up to 100 it seemed approprate to stop by at a landmark episode - at least as far as this podcast is concerned. Writer and music expert Iain Key has chosen a story that holds a special place in your host's heart : but does that mean that they will be sympatico when it comes to choosing their favorite thing? Will contact be made, or will they fly miles off course? #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary #doctorwhocomedian #tobyhadoke #doctorwhofacts #positivedoctorwho
