• HT&P 105.4 - The Invasion of Time 4
    Jun 4 2026

    Nev Fountain continues his tour of Gallifrey and takes us to the episode that features no Borusa... so one of the best things about the story is conspicuous by its absence. And Nev and Toby have already both voted for Milton Johns. So they will have to look very carefully and closely at this one, and hope it doesn't deliver any unpleasant surprises. Oh, and this is also probably the rudest Happy Times and Places has ever got. It's your fault.

    The You Tube version of this podcast will feature full video, not a placeholder logo as in recent years.

  • HT&P 105.3 - The Invasion of Time 3
    May 28 2026

    Things are hotting up on Gallifrey, and design work aside, your host is also feeling more warmly towards this story. But will he and his illustrious guest - comedy stalwart Nev Fountain - agree with each other about the episode's strong points or are their thought channels on completely different wavelengths?

    The version of this released on You Tube will feature full video (of Toby, not the copyrighted programme!)

  • Happy Times and Places 105.2 - The Invasion of Time 2
    May 21 2026

    Here we go, it's time for the space doo-doo to hit the space fan (which is probably made of a gaudily prime coloured vacuum formed plastic because, you know, SPACE!). The Doctor is up to no good and Gallifrey is undergoing a crisis of tone... but will Nev Fountain manage to choose something that chimes with the rest of us, or has he successfully shielded his mind so that we don't know what he is up to?

  • HT&P 105.1 - The Invasion of Time 1
    May 14 2026

    Big Finish, Dead Ringers and Private Eye wit Nev Fountain has booked us a trip to Gallifrey in order to extol the virtues of a Doctor Who story stuck in that awkward place in the show's history that no-one seems to quite be able to get to grips with - Season 15. It starts with a spaceship shot but very soon there's a continuity error... but all that is soon forgotten when the Doctor starts behaving oddly. Will Nev and your host be of a similar mind or has lead lining blocked their communion?

  • HT&P 104.1 - Boom Town
    Apr 30 2026

    One of the very best writers, reviewers, and chroniclers of TV and Film science fiction, Steve O'Brien, has chosen a New Series episode as a sequel to his championing of Black Orchid some years ago. It's not the Series One episode that is generally on the top of anyone's list, but has time been kinder to it? Will Steve and your host Toby Hadoke share a taste for dinner and bondage? Or will the whole thing just fall through a crack in the floor?

  • Happy Times and Places OMNIBUS - The Romans
    Apr 23 2026

    Time to get reacquainted with another story from the Happy Times and Places archive. This time delightful You Tuber extraordinaire Josh Snares shares their love for this Hartnell tale renowned for its comedic shenanigans. There's a comedy emperor, a comedy death and ... er ... a comedy attempted sexual assault. Different times.

    Different Times and Places in fact

  • HT&P 105.6 - Colony in Space 6
    Apr 16 2026

    And so this rewarding visit to one of Doctor Who's least celebrated 70s adventures comes to a close. It's am entry in the canon that really encapsulates the aims of Happy Times and Places : to give a fresh, positive look at a Doctor Who story, and learn to appreciate it for what it is as opposed to what it isn't. Guest Simon Curtis, the TT producer, has been a real help in this regard. Thanks Simon.

    And fare forward Tony Caunter, who played Morgan in this story, who died the day after this episode was recorded.
