Welcome to Phantom Who, a new feature designed to go along with the Earth Station Who podcast, which I co-host. There I am known as “Dave” because “Phantom Troublemaker” takes up too much room on the stationary. Every other week there will be a new podcast discussing all things Doctor Who, with a central discussion about a particular story.
For the
first year we are covering regeneration stories. Starting with An
Unearthly Child and
wrapping up the current regenerations with The
Eleventh Hour, we’ll be
covering the first and last stories of each of the first eleven
Doctors.
Last
time on Phantom Who…
The
second Doctor, along with Ben and Polly, thwarted the Daleks’
integration into and eventual takeover of a colony on the planet
Vulcan. From there, the evil fascist pepperpots were planning to
propagate their species and launch a takeover of the entire galaxy.
Since
then, the Doctor has had many adventures and gained new companions in
the form of Jamie McCrimmon – a Scot from the 18th
century – and Zoe Heriot – an astrophysicist from a space station
in the 21st
century.
