Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels

1. Toby Hadoke's Time Travels - Too Much Information Trailer Trailer

   Show notes

   Too Much Information is an episode-by-episode, blow-by-blow account of the When, What, and Who of Doctor Who. Facts old and new, observations and information all in one digestible chunk, with a fantastic score composed by Waen Shepherd. A great jump in point for newcomers to the show, but plenty for jaded old Who-ers too. Presented by Toby Hadoke.

2. Toby Hadoke's Time Travels - Indefinable Magic Trailer Trailer

   Show notes

   Indefinable Magic is a Doctor Who podcast based on ... well, anything really. Sometimes it'll be a whimsical musing, sometimes a fact-fest, sometimes a nostalgia filled childhood recollection - always good-natured, generally arcane, and hopefully something that will chime with anyone who has ever loved a certain silly time traveller. It's definitely a podcast that is bigger on the inside.

Season 3

1. Indefinable Magic 1.1 - Scouring the Shelves Bonus

   Episode 1

   Show notes

   Indefinable Magic is a series of whimsical essays inspired, sometimes very tangentially, by Doctor Who.

   Episode 1.1 - Scouring the Shelves

   Just finding Doctor Who stuff was hard in the old days: you had to get lucky at the newsagents, or happen upon an exciting new shop whilst on holiday, and you discovered the show piece by piece, often having to commit facts to memory. You had to be very dogged in your pursuit of the Doctor... in many ways, you almost had to become a stalker.

   Episode re-uploaded on 23/11/20 to get rid of a minor technical glitch near the beginning.

Season 2

1. Doctor Who : Too Much Information 1.0 - The Pilot

   Episode 1

   Show notes

   Doctor Who : Too Much Information, is an episode-by-episode, blow-by-blow, sometimes day-by-day account of the making of every single episode (yes, episode, not story) of Britain's longest running science-fiction show, shedding light on the Who, What and Where of (Doctor) Who. It's monthly for now but will hopefully pick up speed once Toby knows what he's doing. It's a collation of paperwork, interviews and new research designed to explore even the tiniest nooks and crannies of the Doctor Who universe for trivial nuggets, all told in an accessible manner and augmented by a soundtrack specially composed by the award winning Waen Shepherd.

   This is Episode 1.0 : The Pilot

1. Indefinable Magic 1.2 - Seeing in the Dark Bonus

   Episode 2

   Show notes

   Indefinable Magic is a series of whimsical and sometimes certifiably arcane ramblings about some aspect of Doctor Who - sometimes a personal reminiscence; sometimes a jokey thought; and sometimes an unnecessarily obsessive delve: but always done with a lightness of touch and devotion to the subject. This time, it's carrots. Yep, you read that right, the history of carrots in Doctor Who (I direct my learned colleague to the word "arcane" above).

And so he asked his friend, comedian and illustrator John Cooper, to nominate one for Toby to wax positive about. John chose Time-Flight. Oh.
