Big Blue Box Podcast – Episode 86

Welcome back Who fans and while news and merch continues to run a bit slow, we’re hopefully getting you through the Who drought!? Without further ado, let’s get into episode 86!

The News

The Restoration Team, responsible for the (mostly) great looking classic dvd’s in your collections, have updated their website with interesting tid bits on the last batch of classic releases and another week, more sad news as star of Blake’s 7 Gareth Thomas passed away aged 71. Blake’s 7 is often paired with classic Who as it was written by Terry Nation and Gareth Thomas himself is connected to Who by way of starring in Torchwood and Big Finish.

Merch Corner

It’s a comics week as Titan launch the new 9th Doctor range and they’ve also announced a new Torchwood run that will start this July, written by Captain Jack John Barrowman and Carole E. Barrowman.

“The Vampires of Venice” Review

Blood sucking vampires, creepy setting and marital tiffs. Does Toby Whithouse’s script deliver a scary enough story or do we feel like we’ve been smacked in the face with a blue-lobster-pointy fish, thing? Our review scores await.

Thank you as always for all your support and your views. Next week it’s that crazy-haired 6th Doctor’s turn when we review The Twin Dilemma. Have a great week and until next time – Allons-y!
