Josh was an acquaintance we made at Gally 21 & we're so glad we did because it was a delight to have him appear on our show today . This is in fact Josh's first official appearance on any podcast, but somehow we don't think this will be his last here or elsewhere. WARNING:  This review/discussion contains cold blooded SPOILERS! Thanks so much to Cat (@fancyfembot), co-host of the @Sci-Fi Party Line Podcast for providing this episode's intro. She's the one reponsible for making this podcast possible.

TARDIS Tavern #17: Dalek Restroom Cutaway   With a little help from our friends...  Podcest is such a wonderful thing; That interconnection we all share as part of the Doctor Who Podcast Alliance.  We were recently listening to our pals Steve & Sean's latest TARDIS Tavern podcast. Since its inception back in November '09, their program has been steadily growing, improving, & finding it's own place among the pantheon of WHO 'casts out there now. This Blue Guy thuroughly enjoyed their recent Dalek potty humor sketch & immeditately asked for permission to publish it here on the Guide to the Whoverse feed for all of you to enjoy should you partake. This is only a small excerpt however, the bulk of this episode is actually a half druken review of the Second Doctor's first story Power of the Daleks. Honestly it was, but a mere coinicdence that the 'Two WHO Drool' just happened to preselect reviewing this classic story right on the heels of the newest Dalek story Victory of the Daleks

Today Eric & Megan break down the newest, latest, and greatest Doctor Who story The Beast Below. WARNING: this review/discussion contains world ending SPOILERS you may be able to protest, but won't be able to forget. What can we say other than this conversation went on much longer than intended.

Mostly Testicle Cutaway #1: Anywhere   Once in a while something most improbable can happen. This happens to be 1 of those whiles. This unholy creation is a collaborative production between John (@cybertesticle) & Eric (@Bullitt33). It is a satirical Doctor Who parody based on a scene in The Eleventh Hour. John is responsible for writing & performing the script, while Eric pretty much laid out all the rest. Can you believe they make these things for fun? Warning: This skit contains EXPLICIT language. This type of humor is not recommended for the very young or uptight WHO fan! John is the creator of The Cyber Testicle Podcast and long time friend of the show. We aren't exaggerating when we say his is the most unique Doctor Who podcast around. Give it a sample and you'll understand. This sketch is an example of some of the kinds of things you will find on his feed. Disclaimer: Whether you like it or not, you may never see one of these things ever again. Not unless you convince us otherwise. The idea to

T minus 1 day until The Beast Below. Welcome to this, the 4rd HHG2W: Mostly Harmless Cutaway. This episode was never supposed to exist. Think of it as a random bowl of petunias or miraculously improbable sperm whale that really serves no other purpose, but to simply be. Today Eric & Megan... well mostly Eric goes nuts with some crazy potential series 5 / Moffat fanboy conspiracies that have been permeating his brain. Not only that, but Eric also shares 1 important point he failed to bring up during our previous Doctor Who series 5 episode, The Eleventh Hour review. WARNING: this discussion contains SPOILERS or at the very least we assume you have already seen The Eleventh Hour. During this show we make special mention of and highly recommend the Radio Free Skaro podcast, especially their Eleventh Hour reaction episode #192 - Operation Golden Hour. Coincidentally guesting on that episode was Tacyon TV podcast's very own Neil Perryman (@neilperryman). Please check out his fantastic collaborative Doctor W

WARNING: this review/discussion contains no holds barred SPOILERS! Normally our show notes, would be much, much longer and Blue Guy will probably edit & add to this later [watch this space], but we've been piecing this episode together for countless hours now and just want to get it out already!!! Thanks so much to Chris (@dubbayoo), 1 of the 'Three Who Rule' @ the Radio Free Skaro podcast for providing this episode's intro.

And now for something completely different... Welcome to this, the first Mostly Harmless Cutaway.  Like the rest of the universe it was created with more of a whimper than a bang really. What? This wasn't what you signed up for? This isn't your beloved Hitchhiker's Guide to the Whoverse? Firstly, DON'T PANIC. Secondly, note the title: "Mosty" - "Harmless" - "Cutaway." We thought it a very apt name as it's description is written right there on the outside of the box. No intended misdirection on our part. If you listen, (and we're sure you will) you'll hear it explained that this is simply a slight deviation from our traditional podcast format you may be accoustumed to by now. This is our producer (if you in fact believe that we have one) breaking down that 4th wall and speaking to you directly about whatever might be on his mind pertaining to the Whoverse et al. In this MHC Eric interviews a new friend he made at the Gallifrey One convention. Megan (@meganhibner) is a cosplayer and at Gally 21 she dressed up

The Da Vinci Code was quite popular at the time this entry was originally produced. What a preposterous work of fiction that was. It's rather more interesting to note the Doctor's role in the production of the mulitple [authentic] copies of this noteworthy work of art. What? You weren't aware the painting hanging in the Louvre is a copy? Listen on weary traveller... We now present to you our 4th entry originally produced August 20, 2006. Look for HHG2W #5 Hiatus to appear on this feed approximately February 27, 2010. Eek! We'll be at Gallifrey 21 during this time. If we're lucky we might grab some audio from the convention for this feed. References: City of Death* Story #105 *According to Wikipedia: 'City of Death is believed to be the earliest produced Doctor Who story for which every credited cast member is still living.' Being an archival entry of sorts, we in no way make reference to the more recent misadventures of Sarah Jane Smith concerning this iconic painting. This entry was written by David Agnew

Moving right along in our revisting vintage Hitchhiker's Guide to the Whoverse, we arrive at the subject of Plastic People. It should be noted that not all plastic people are made of plastic, sometimes they're made of sheep... Reaching back in time, we present to you our 3rd entry originally produced August 5, 2006. Look for HHG2W #4 The Mona Lisa to appear on this feed approximately February 13, 2010.

Finally... A better representation of what we do here at the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Whoverse, that is we ineptly try to explain common terms found in the Doctor Who universe that any time tot could probably expertly explain to you in half the time.A chameleon circuit is not quite the easiest thing to explain. By the very nature of the beast it can appear in the guise of many countless different forms, not the least of which is a very famous Trock band.Reaching back in time, we present to you our 2nd entry originally produced July 27, 2006.

Once upon a time on July 20, 2006 an awkward, wheezy little child named Douglas was born. This is not his story. Rather, we shall deal with a most unearthly podcast that was also born on the same day.The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Whoverse is just what it appears to be... A satirical blatant rip-off of a much more successful publication/volume/franchise, but we shan't trouble ourselves with that minute detail right now. Prepare yourself for some grand anticipointment* as this podcast isn't very good. It wasn't created out of love, more out of abandonment, and it shows. We cannot promise that it will get any better in time, but we can promise that it will be about time. The Doctor's anyway.Episode 1 was originally conceived to be a introduction / promo of sorts. It was our intention to share our humble little production(s) with other [better] and already established Doctor Who Podcasts. Back in 2006 both Podshock & WhoCast answered that call. Because this entry is very promo like we don't get very deep into
