friendsofderek — Tue, 08 May 2012 21:31:14 +0000

From the time vortex comes a strange discussion. Is the new companion invisible to enemies? Where did that Dalek eye stalk come from? Does anyone on TV have a clue? And just what does the series seven trailer have in common with Red Dwarf?

23 – Will a soap star clean up Dr Who?

friendsofderek — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 12:07:31 +0000

Alan, Andy and Derek tackle ~~this~~ last weeks hot topic: Is Matt Smith about to leave? Also could the team have discovered what the 10th Doctor was really doing in those lost years between Waters of Mars and the End of Time Pt1?

19 – Look at the coat, not the face

reilly2040 — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 22:21:53 +0000

After an unexpected delay (sadly caused by real life intruding in the edit schedule, combined with Alan’s PC going on the blink), the Outpost Skaro Podcast returns to discuss the final series of Sarah Jane Adventures, and have a natter about one of the more popular forum topics of the last few weeks (at least, it was when we recorded the podcast): the 50th anniversary and the possibility of recasting. Good idea, or bad idea? Andy, Derek, Alan and Eddie all share their thoughts.

Alan, Derek and Andy are on hand to mull over the finale, discussing what they liked and disliked, and indulge in some nitpicking. Did the grand story arc experiment hang together in the end?

With the axe falling on Confidential, don’t forget to visit @SaveDWC on twitter, or their website at http://savedwc.blogspot.com/ for details and petitions to save the show.

Episode 17 – Closing Time

reilly2040 — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 15:07:31 +0000

A bumper cast joined the recording this week, as Alan found himself joined by Derek, Andy and also Eddie to chat about the penultimate episode of series 6. With the return of James Corden as Craig, the Cybermats, and also a killer cliffhanger for the finale, there was plenty to discuss.

Sadly this episode was recorded prior to the announcement of the axing of Confidential (more on that in the next episode), which was a real shame, since the guys did have a few problems with Confidential that week. Oops.

Did he just eat Jim the Fish?!?
