HT&P 106.4 - The Invasion 4

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2026/10/08

The second and final missing/animated episode of this story and it may just be treading - and sometimes canoeing - water BUT ... there is that exciting helicopter chase, the reveal of the story's mysterious monster, and ... well, some exclusive insight into the animation which has excited everyone's interest. And as Happy Times and Places always likes to go the extra mile, we're take you to the horse's mouth and hear from James Goss about the trials and tribulations involved in getting Doctor Who's

HT&P 107.3 - The Invasion 3

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2026/10/01

Toby is here. Ken is here. Kilroy is here!!! It's Part Three of The Invasion. There's a bit of cat, and bit of mouse.... and then a bit more cat and mouse. But there's still plenty to enjoy including some excellent acting by Peter Halliday's hair, some superb rapport between Troughton and Hines and... well, would it be cheating to vote for Kevin Stoney every week...? #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary #doctorwhocomedian #tobyhadoke #doctorwhofacts #positivedoctorwho

HT&P 107.2 - The Invasion 2

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2026/09/24

Computer problems abound in truth and in fiction but nonetheless this one has been snuck out - unnoticed by our conniving computer overlords. Still no Cybermen, but plenty of fun to be had as Zoe smashes a computer, dandruff is discussed and your host doesn't even mention one of his favourite bits (he'll have to do so next week). And there are lots of fascinating listener comments too - making this one a really gorgeous prospect! #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary

Happy Times and Places 107.1 - The Invasion 1

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2026/09/17

The quest for positive Doctor Who commentaries continues. Well let's see if they can get animated about this one. For the first time, instead of using a recon the participants are looking at the cartoon version of this episode, as that in itself is something of an historical document now. There's plenty to be said about the episode itself though - a first for Benton, a solo acting for a guest actor and a cameo from the director. But what will be American radio host Ken Patterson's favourite thing

HT&P OMNIBUS - The Celestial Toymaker

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2026/08/27

Gosh, it was nearly three years ago this one came out episodically - and then it was to tie in with the then imminent release of the animated version of this tale. The animation has been and gone - and that's a fascinating take on the story... but Kieran Highman and host Toby Hadoke were looking at a reconstruction of the original, warts-and-all Celestial Toymaker. Not a favourite story of your host's by any means. Could the intrepid artistic artisan from another hemisphere persuade the prattling,

HT&P OMNIBUS - The Curse of Fenric

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2026/08/20

Sometimes Happy Times and Places requires its host and guest to do some heavy lifting. Not so The Curse of Fenric, one of the show's acknowledged all time classics, as Toby and improviser extraordinaire Allan Lear have a love in that becomes a threesome when script editor Andrew Cartmel throws his car keys in the hat. Blimey! The safe word is "Niet"! #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary #doctorwhocomedian #tobyhadoke #doctorwhofacts #positivedoctorwho #classicdoctorwho Please support

HT&P OMNIBUS - Terror of the Zygons

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2026/08/13

This one is good fun. Writer Daisy Connolly is a brilliant guest, recalling her childhood watching this perfectly thrilling, chilling tale. Will her favourite things be an exact replica of your host's, or is it all just a cunning disguise? #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary #doctorwhocomedian #tobyhadoke #doctorwhofacts #positivedoctorwho #classicdoctorwho Please support these podcasts on Patreon, where you will get advance releases, exclusive content (including a patron-only

HT&P OMNIBUS - The Gunfighters

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2026/08/06

This omnibus slipped through the cracks somehow. Sorry. So here it is - and it's for the infamous The Gunfighters, which has, as its advocate, the son of one of the leading guest stars : which is a lovely touch. This podcast has always stuck up for the underdog and this dog has been about as under as it is possible to get. Well, every dog has its day... #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary #doctorwhocomedian #tobyhadoke #doctorwhofacts #positivedoctorwho #classicdoctorwho Please

HT&P Omnibus - The Quatermass Experiment

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2026/07/18

Happy Quatermass Day. 73 years ago precisely (hopefully this will be released at the exact minute) Episode One of The Quatermass Experiment was broadcast, changing TV, and science-fiction, forever. This week, your host's book on the making of the serial, published last year by Ten Acre Books, enjoyed yet another print run and is available direct from the publisher. And so it seems appropriate to package the two commentaries that were broadcast to coincide with the launch of the book last year into a

Happy Times and Places BONUS - Army of Ghosts with...

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2026/07/09

This isn't really a proper episode in the sense that (a) there's no Doomsday to follow this and (b) the format is slightly different in that the guest (top writer, script editor and comedian Tom Neenan) is in the room! Tom was doing a preview of his amazing new Edinburgh show at XS Malarkey (the comedy club which has a regular MC who just happens to be the host of this podcast) and so a plan was cooked up to do a dual commentary and a favourite things duel. Think of this as a summer holiday bonus

Too Much Information 6.4 - The Day of Darkness

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2026/07/02

The podcast which goes through every single episode of Doctor Who in order and gives you the Who, What and When in (too much) detail. Susan is back from her holidays but the weather in Mexico is about to eclipse everything else as blood gets spilt on the sacrificial alter and, unusually, our heroes lose. Doctor Who proves that even in its early days it was ambitious and complex as this fascinating serial comes to a close - as do the Doctor Who contributions of two very interesting men, composer

2026/06/25

From the dusty vaults ... here we have the self proclaimed Champion of the Damned, Frazer Gregory, extolling the virtues of this under-loved tale. Will you agree with his preaching, or condemn him to be crushed underneath a giant rock for blasphemy? #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary #doctorwhocomedian #tobyhadoke #doctorwhofacts #positivedoctorwho #classicdoctorwho Please support these podcasts on Patreon, where you will get advance releases, exclusive content (including a

HT&P 105.6 - The Invasion of Time 6

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2026/06/18

Well there is certainly a lot of correspondence about this one! It has definitely divided opinion, sometimes within the story itself. But everyone is trying very hard - on the commentary and the correspondence! Possibly trying harder than the people making it. Or are we being unfair? Well, Nev Fountain, prolific and admired writer, is prolific and admiring in his praise for the final episode of this story, in which we say goodbye to one of the show's greatest on-screen contributors (and no, we don't

HT&P 105.5 - The Invasion of Time 5

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2026/06/11

How do we feel about this one? Tonally this is where Doctor Who seems to be leaning into its production difficulties by upping the humour... but humour in Doctor Who is so hard to judge. Is it to do with tone? Delivery? Context? Or is it simply personal taste? Well, the latter definitely comes into it, and will certainly dictate how viewers respond to a lot of what takes place in this episode. Nev Fountain illustrates his choice with typical insight and intelligence, so it's well worth hanging

HT&P 105.4 - The Invasion of Time 4

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2026/06/04

Nev Fountain continues his tour of Gallifrey and takes us to the episode that features no Borusa... so one of the best things about the story is conspicuous by its absence. And Nev and Toby have already both voted for Milton Johns. So they will have to look very carefully and closely at this one, and hope it doesn't deliver any unpleasant surprises. Oh, and this is also probably the rudest Happy Times and Places has ever got. It's your fault. The You Tube version of this podcast will feature full

HT&P 105.3 - The Invasion of Time 3

2026/05/28

Things are hotting up on Gallifrey, and design work aside, your host is also feeling more warmly towards this story. But will he and his illustrious guest - comedy stalwart Nev Fountain - agree with each other about the episode's strong points or are their thought channels on completely different wavelengths? The version of this released on You Tube will feature full video (of Toby, not the copyrighted programme!) #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary #doctorwhocomedian #tobyhadoke

Happy Times and Places 105.2 - The Invasion of Time 2

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2026/05/21

Here we go, it's time for the space doo-doo to hit the space fan (which is probably made of a gaudily prime coloured vacuum formed plastic because, you know, SPACE!). The Doctor is up to no good and Gallifrey is undergoing a crisis of tone... but will Nev Fountain manage to choose something that chimes with the rest of us, or has he successfully shielded his mind so that we don't know what he is up to? #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary #doctorwhocomedian #tobyhadoke #doctorwhofacts

HT&P 105.1 - The Invasion of Time 1

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2026/05/14

Big Finish, Dead Ringers and Private Eye wit Nev Fountain has booked us a trip to Gallifrey in order to extol the virtues of a Doctor Who story stuck in that awkward place in the show's history that no-one seems to quite be able to get to grips with - Season 15. It starts with a spaceship shot but very soon there's a continuity error... but all that is soon forgotten when the Doctor starts behaving oddly. Will Nev and your host be of a similar mind or has lead lining blocked their

HT&P 104.1 - Boom Town

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2026/04/30

One of the very best writers, reviewers, and chroniclers of TV and Film science fiction, Steve O'Brien, has chosen a New Series episode as a sequel to his championing of Black Orchid some years ago. It's not the Series One episode that is generally on the top of anyone's list, but has time been kinder to it? Will Steve and your host Toby Hadoke share a taste for dinner and bondage? Or will the whole thing just fall through a crack in the floor? #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary
