Planet of Fire Redux
This is our very last – and this time we mean it – classic commentary podcast. Featuring extra-special guests Rula Lenska and Ed Stradling, topics up for discussion include: Barry Manilow, Gallifreyan sex toys, Howard’s Way, JNT’s VHS collection, Peter Wyngarde’s crimes against music, and The Rocky Horror Doctor Who Show.

The Finale
The last podcast to be released in this format. Rula lost her job as a result, but complicated IP issues means she can’t work for other podcasters until 2012. The Torchwood/Abba crossover includes a cameo from Neil’s wife. She wasn’t best pleased.
In the final edition of Tachyon TV to be releaed by the current production team: an interview with Nicholas Briggs, a guide to Gallifrey 21, Torchwood – The Musical, some very brave singing and a tear-jerking, self-congratulatory denouement.
Christmas Special
Probably our most complicated podcast yet. Trying to pull off silly interviews over Skype with people you don’t actually know can be a daunting prospect but thankfully both contributors really embraced the spirit of the thing and we think we got away with it. Special thanks must go to Toby Hadoke for making much of what happened possible.
The Stolen Earth
Our most “scripted” podcast with a wealth of complicated issues, not least of which was Neil having to watch the episode 34 times over a single weekend for timing reasons. This process almost killed us and it remains the last of our podcast commentaries. Perhaps this time we mean it.
Topics up for discussion include: Soho drinking clubs, incipient Forsythia, Sarah Jane’s giant dating computer, Sky series link clashes, Torchwood’s AV bill, and the definite Dempsey and Makepeace DVD boxset release.
Black Orchid
Our last attempt at a classic series commentary was a bit of a struggle to be honest, mainly because it was recorded in the same day that we watched Warriors of the Deep. There’s only so much a podcasting team can take.
Topics up for discussion include: missing aliens, Sting, 1920s sex games, Nyssa’s piercing, and the five hour novelisation reading by Michael Cochrane.
