Welcome to Nerva Beacon - your one stop shop for all things Doctor Who! Welcome to Nerva Beacon, your one stop shop for all things Doctor Who!
Hosted by Leigh and Glenn (and assorted companions and special guests along the way), they will guide you through the Whoniverse with episode recaps, reviews and lots of other fun stuff! Fancy a trip in the TARDIS?
Leigh and Glenn are back to take a look at 2022's Easter Special, Legend of the Sea Devils - but was it more akin to Delgado in the original Sea Devil series, or did it have the distinct whiff of the Myrka about it?
NB: This was recorded before the announcement of the 14th Doctor.

It's been a while, but they're back! Leigh and Glenn return to talk some more Doctor Who, and just in time. With the brand new episode dropping on Easter Sunday, the two go back 16 years to talk about Rose Tyler's departing two-parter, Army of Ghosts and Doomsday!

Here's a trailer for The Leisure Hive where they simultaneously give loads, and yet nothing, away.
Also, note that they refer to it as "Dr. Who".

The Chibnall Era is swiftly coming to an end, and now we know who's going to be taking over...the show, at least. Russell T Davies is coming back, and we're excited here at the Nerva Beacon!
We also take a look at 1985's Vengeance on Varos, a Sixth Doctor adventure that ultimately got the show into hot water...well, hot acid, at the very least.

There was very little Doctor Who content in the 1990's, so you took what you could get, even the slightest scraps of continuity would be of interest. Therefore, have some bits between the programmes from the fallow period!

Companions (and even Doctors) still need to earn a crust when they leave the show, and some of them turn up in the strangest places! For example, Romana ended up in surburbia, feeding her cat, Jo Grant's waiting for her gran in Australia, and Harry became a lighthouse keeper!

Russell T Davies will make an explosive return to screens to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Doctor Who in 2023, and series beyond. BBC Studios are partnering with Bad Wolf to produce.
Leigh and Glenn look at one of the JNT stories that truly did a deep dive into Doctor Who's own history, bringing the Brigadier back, no less - Mawdryn Undead!
They also discuss the big news - who's likely to take the showrunner reins now that Chibnall's on his way, and who could be the new Doctor?

It's back to 1977 for this episode, and the Chris Boucher story that fleshed out it's characters so much that there's been spin-offs and returns and even a hint of it being part of a wider universe entirely!
Join Glenn and Leigh as they encounter the Robots of Death, and try to avoid being the latest of the crew to be bumped off!

*VWORP! VWORP!* As always, it's a pleasure to have Eliza on the podcast, and a double pleasure to talk some Who! From the end of the Fourth, to the end of the series (for a while, at least) it's all here, so step aboard the nostalgia TARDIS, and prepare for a wild ride!
Eliza Hyde is back to join us this week, talking about another one of her passions - Doctor Who, and because it's us, it's all about the Eighties period, one of the most tumultuous in it's history!

Underrated scene, this. Gridlock's a great episode, and kicks off the third series with a bang, especially with the revelation that the Doctor may not be the only Time Lord left in the universe. But here's where we hear the most about Gallifrey in the revived series, and a few insights into what happened in the Time War...

It was a sad anniversay a couple of days ago, as it's been 10 years since the passing of Lis Sladen, who played one of our favourite companions in Sarah Jane Smith.
One of the best moments of the revived series is when Sarah and the Doctor meet again after a long time, in the great episode "School Reunion", from 2006.

It's all about the Tenth Doctor this week, in honour of DT's 50th birthday - here's a clip from The Christmas Invasion, where we found out that this Doctor is not to be crossed, and not to be trifled with, even if you considered yourself an ally...

More Tenth Doctor goodness, and one of our favourite scenes from season 2 - the Lumic Cybercontroller has the Doctor and his friends hostage - but don't worry, there's an idiot out there who can save them!

If you're a Doctor Who fan who's ever watched the VHS versions, then the earlier idents here will definitely knock you in the nostalgias. Or terrify you all over again, one of the two.

It's off to Necros for the latest episode of Nerva Beacon, as Leigh and Glenn check out what's going on at the planet-wide funeral home of Tranquil Repose! Why has the Doctor been summoned there? And why is Davros just a head? And why were so many people woefully miscast? And just what the hell was Clive Swift's problem, anyway?
Join us to find out!

This week we're taking a look at the fabulous Sixth Doctor (as played by the magnificent Colin Baker), and some of the best scenes in his run as the Doctor!
Tonight, he goes up against the Great Healer, now revealed as the malevolent Davros. But Sixy is more than a match for the rogue scientist, and their battle of wills goes on...

Our last video game that we're looking at this time around is 1997's Destiny of the Doctors, released on PC by BBC Multimedia. An action adventure game, the Master plans to eradicate the Doctor from time and space (for a change), and actually comes close to accomplishing this foul deed! Can you, as the Graak (an alien jellyfish-type being) stop him?

We're all off back to November 1993 this week, as Leigh and Glenn take a look at one of the more divisive episodes of Doctor Who, the Children in Need charity adventure set in Albert Square, Dimensions in Time!
We also take a look at some of the recent Who news, and Jen returns with another WHOpinion, obviously DIT-themed. In fact, let's be honest, this whole episode is dedicated to Jen and her immense love for this story!

Today's Doctor Who computer game is from 1992, released by Alternative Software it's the Amiga version of a game I'm sure many of us will have played - Dalek Attack!

There's been a few Doctor Who computer and video games about in the last 40 years or so of the show, and this week we're taking a look at some of them! We're starting at the start, and the first officially licensed Who game. Released on the BBC Micro, you controlled the Fifth Doctor (represented by a single pixel) as he navigates his way through four minigames!
