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

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2025/10/16

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

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

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.

HT&P 98.1 - The Invisble Enemy 1

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

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

HT&P 97.1 - Mission to the Unknown

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2025/09/11

A strange anomaly of an episode - an episode in which everything goes wrong for the good guys. Well, everything went a bit wrong for your host as well so it's been a bit of a palaver putting this together. The last time guest Jason Thompson was on it was a rare win for the home team - so will history repeat itself or will Toby be exterminated just before he can successfully launch his recording? There's only one way to find out - we need to set a course for Kembel where there's a somewhat thorny

HT&P 96.1 - The War Games IN COLOUR

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2025/09/04

As we'rew approaching our 10th edition we thought it might be fun to avail ourselves of an all too rare opportunity - to get someone heavily involved in a Doctor Who project to make their own contribiutoon to its Happy Times and Places. Fortunately Benjamin Cook, who was in charge of the recent The War Games in Colour broadcast, was more than happy to share his thoughts and insights regarding this huge undertaking. So here we go - and what a joy it is to get his perspective into the making of this

HT&P 95.4 - The Tenth Planet 4

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2025/08/30

End of an era folks. William Hartnell takes his final bow, but before he shuffles off he gets time to make an entrance and say a few legendary lines (some of them kindly preserved by a canny camera-wielder Down Under). There are so many landmarks in this story, welcome guest Martin Holmes is spoilt for choice - will you, and indeed your host - be in sync with Martin, or will the whole thing overload with goodness that it'll just melt? #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary

Happy Times and Places 95.3 - The Tenth Planet 3

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2025/08/14

The Doctor falls over so for one week only it's Dr Barclay and his plucky assistants Ben and Polly who have to try to stop besieged base commander General Cutler from mucking everything up because his son has decided to go into space. What will podcaster Martin Holmes home in on as his favourite thing of this, the last live action Hartnell episode we have (even though Hartnell isn't in it). #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary #doctorwhocomedian #tobyhadoke #doctorwhofacts

Happy Times and Places 95.2 - The Tenth Planet 2

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2025/08/07

It's delightful how many listeners have said how conforting they find this story - and episode two is definitely comfiort viewing for the sci-fi aficionado. The introduction of a classic monster, pretty much the last hurrah of a Classic Doctor and much to recommend it in terms of action, design and production. Whatever will guest Martin Holmes choose as the episode's best biot though? Will you agree, or will you be thinking "That was really most unfortunate, he should not have done that." #doctorwho

Happy Times and Places 95.1 - The Tenth Planet 1

Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels ·

2025/07/31

Well, as winter gets its icy grip around us it seems appropriate to negotiate the showy wastes of the South Pole for a story that is a landmark in so many ways. Guest Martin Holmes is a podcast veteran who knows his classic TV, but what does he love about this story that has all sorts to recommend it, and yet has slipped in popularity somewhat since the early days of fandom? #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary #doctorwhocomedian #tobyhadoke #doctorwhofacts #positivedoctorwho

And so things come to an end on Traken. Or do they? Do they, in fact, come to a cadence? Ask our illustrious guest Dr Tom as he is full of observations like that in what has been a very rewarding trip to a planet which revels in its own theatricality.

Blow winds and crack your cheeks! Or come on baby light my fire? The elements cause a keefuffle in this instalment of The Keeper of Traken, and something gets right up the Doctor's nose. And there's a real debate about what should be chosen as your host's highlight. Will he choose the right thing, or will he make a choice that will lead to the destruction of the whole planet? #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary #doctorwhocomedian #tobyhadoke #doctorwhofacts #positivedoctorwho

Who's Round BONUS - Gareth Berliner

To tie in with the Happy Times and Places release of The Woman Who Lived here is an interview with Gareth Berliner, who plays the coachman in the opening scene. Gareth and Toby go back a long way, so it's a lovely old chat. Since this was recorded, Gareth's wife has ALSO been in Doctor Who (she's in The Interstellar Song Contest): so it's a family affair. #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction #doctorwhocommentary #doctorwhocomedian #tobyhadoke #doctorwhofacts #positivedoctorwho #classicdoctorwho Please

2025/06/26

Your host got up close and personal with this episode, and he's up close and personal with someone in it as well. Does this insight mean that he'll have any advantage over guest, Joel Aarons? Listeners will have to bear with this episode as alas it is slightly glitchy, with the odd skipped syllable or two due to a wrtehced cable. Apparently you'll get used to it is test listeners are to be believbed, but apologies that it isn't up to the usual technical standard. #doctorwho #doctorwhoreaction

Too Much Information 5.6 - The Keys of Marinus

2025/06/05

And so one of Terry Nation's few Dalek-less stories comes to an end, but this tricky production has a few more things to trip people (or Voords) up before it finally goes out with a bang. There are still script changes to be made, and typos to overcome, but two of its personnel went on to have very different but equally illustrious careers, and they are both profiled herein: and both kindly lent their assitance to the compiling of this episode. Sadly actor Michael Allaby passed away in between
