I review The Unquiet Dead - Episode 3 of Series One.

We also have a review of the Sonic Screwdriver Replica by Luke.

This past Saturday, was not only Tax Day in the U.S.A. (which is generally frowned upon by most of us) but was the Triumphant return of Doctor Who - Series 2, entitled New Earth.
I am definitely looking forward to reviewing this with you in the near future.

We will also get Contests 6 & 7 out this weekend.

And Whocast 49 will combine reviews of both Aliens of London and World War Three.

Remember to go to the Official BBC Website to view the latest TARDISodes of the new series and some new games, including an update to Mickey's webpage.

Enjoy!

WE WENT OVER OUR UPLOAD LIMIT!!!

Hey Everybody,

We went over our 25GB upload limit on my .Mac service on Monday night. It shut off my PodcastWho feed for the rest of the month. However, I upgraded the account to a 250GB/month upload capacity and we'll see if it reactivates the RSS feed. I'll be trying a test podcast over the next few hours to check it out.

Please be patient with me on this. On the plus side, it has been the best response to PodcastWho EVER!!! Thanks for the patronage!

Enjoy!
