Customer Reviews
My Favourite Doctor Who Podcast
I've only recently discovered The Happiness Patrol but it has quickly become my favourite Doctor Who podcast. It's made by people that obviously love the show. Lewis has a great personality (and a great voice) and what Dale doesn't know about Who isn't worth knowing. The team is made up by Lela and Nancy who add the energy. This podcast is well produced, fast moving, genuinely funny by fans that you would want to spend time with. It's a great listen and I look forward to the arrival of every episode.
If you haven't downloaded this one before then may I suggest the episode 'The Chickens of Astrid' as a starting point. Really made me smile.
A Curate's Blue Box
Good in parts, better in others, these people love Doctor Who. Very enjoyable.
Riveting
This funny and highly entertaining podcast has become essential listening on my iPod. Great team of presenters, I am so entertained I hardly even notice Tara's colourful language. It is a shame I can't play this one to my daughter but I am happy to have a podcast to myself.
