I got the chance to watch episode 11 last night and was relieved. I was not looking forward to it as it dealt with the Slivene (sp?) from episode 4 and 5 which are at the bottom of my list. Thankfully, it was much better than I'd expected.
As to my audio comment, I didn't realize that the thunderstorm that was going on was coming through the audio. Sorry! (I think maybe I compressed it TOO much...)
Hey! Not a bad episode, even considering the light-handed take on what should have been a very dark and deep topic. The side story between Rose and Mickey was very good and brings a bit of human realism to the episode. Things don't always turn out the way we'd like them to! Billie Piper is turning out to be a monster actress.
I have to apologize - I haven't been able to grab the podcasts as of recent, because 1) my iPod bit it, and 2) my computer has been focused on a large, large BitTorrent file for about a week. Once I can get that out of the way, I'll catch up!
I liked the introduction of the "bad wolf" theme, which appears to wrap up next week (based on the title of the episode). It also explains why the BBC didn't post the episode name earlier on (it appeared on the website blank for the first four weeks or so). I hope it ramps up to a great crescendo - and from the look of the preview, we won't be disappointed!!
The only previous reference to "bad wolf" I can remember was the boy spraying grafitti on the side of the TARDIS in ep 4... what others were there?
Sorry if I'm repeating anything from the podcasts, Tom!
Great show again Tom, However I don't think the voice overs the sound clips work well. The thing I am enjoying most about this whole series is the depth of characterization for everybody, assistants, baddies even the Doctor. Even the evil characters who just want to blow the world up still have a lot that we can care about. Thanks for pointing me to the Bad Wolf Web site and especially WHO MIX. I've really enjoyed that one!! Great to hear comments from Australia as well as us brits congratulations you've gone right round the world. I hope your wife's move went well, and keep up the great work
Thanks for the feedback! I agree with Mark, that my voiceovers didn't work very well. If I can't get them to work, then they're gone.
Bruce, your audio clip was better than when I did a podcast from my car in a thunderstorm and you could hear the rain hitting the roof.
Brad, I agree that it could have been a very dark episode, but they took it in a direction that I didn't expect. The trailers actually didn't reveal the outcome this time, like they have so many times in the past.
Keep an eye out for Friday's podcast. I'm going to try a video cast as well as an audio podcast. It should work in the new iTunes as a video clip.
If you want to do a forum, let me know and we'll try to put something together.

Hey, I have confidence you'll find a way to put your voice over comments with the audioclips. I have faith in you. Please don't give up!
I'll be watching the second part of Unearthly Child tomorrow in anticipation of your next podcast.
Tonight I have a date with Colin's first episode, however and I'm looking forward to watching that!
