Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of the Geeks Menagerie! On this special episode Mr. Greg Klein joins me once again to discuss Doctor Who! We talk highlights from the special 50th anniversary episode and we look into the past doctors and into the future of Peter Capaldi.

I will say that I am rather annoyed by the cost of all of the Doctor Who toys. I realize we are in the US and that they will cost more here but the thought of spending $34-$110 + on a toy makes me cringe. But I own a Tardis, Dalek, and a K9(action figure). So they have received some of my cash already! lol Let me know if you have any of the new DOCTOR WHO Toys and which ones are your favorite.
Dr. Who – The Five Doctors – New audio book
I was checking out the Nerdist website on lunch today and found out this awesome news:
Big Finish, the people who do the range of Doctor Who audio plays featuring five of the previous Doctors and a slew of old companions, have announced that they will be celebrating the show’s 50th Anniversary with a 100-minute, multi-Doctor extravaganza entitled “The Light at the End,” which will feature Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, and Paul McGann (the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Doctors, respectively) teaming up to fight everybody’s favorite jerk, the Master, played by Geoffrey Beevers, who portrayed the evil Time Lord in 1981′s “The Keeper of Traken.”
To help, each Doctor will also have a companion; Leela (Louise Jameson), Nyssa (Sarah Sutton), Peri (Nicola Bryant), Ace (Sophie Aldred), and Charley Pollard (India Fisher).
Here’s a blurb from the press released from Big Finish.com:
“We wanted to do a proper, fully-fledged multi-Doctor story for this very special occasion,” says writer, director and executive producer Nicholas Briggs, “and it’s wonderful that all the surviving Doctors threw themselves behind the project so enthusiastically. That’s not to say the first three Doctors don’t appear – we wanted to pay homage to the whole history of the classic series.”
Doctorin’ the Tardis (Timelords)
Since we are officially in December now and the Doctor Who Christmas Special is only a few weeks away, I had to share this classic music video:
Do you remember this video? leave us a comment!
Could you survive as the doctors companion?
Take this 10 question personality quiz to see if you can handle being the Doctors companion. I’m proud to say I made it!
Your result: Congratulations! You made it unscathed!
OK, you may have lost a loved one or two along the way and you probably haven’t got out of the TARDIS in the same place and time you got in, but trust me, in comparison with some travellers, you have done very well!
Ok so its not the greatest quiz but it was kind of fun!
watch out for killer snowmen!
