Customer Reviews
Solid sci-fi podcast hampered by very infrequent updates.
The Hitchhikers Guide to British Sci Fi is a quality podcast from the Doctor Who: Podshock boys. If you're familiar with their work on Podshock you can expect much the same type of program as they bring their focus on other British science fiction shows such as Blake's 7, Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes, Red Dwarf, etc.
However, it must be mentioned that this podcast's glaring weakness is that new episodes are rarely released. After an initial publication schedule of new episodes being released every 6-10 weeks, production has steady dropped off to the point that only 1 new episode has come out over the past year. One has to wonder if this side project has been more or less abandoned as the team focuses on their more successful and popular Doctor Who show.
