Kasterborous Classic TV: Exploring Doctor Who & Classic Sci-FiSingle takes: Aliens on SodorThis week, Christian Cawley and James McLean mull over the impact of the single take shot in new Netflix drama Adolescence. Single takes, also known as one-shots and continuous shots, have appeared in many movies and TV shows, from Marvel's Daredevil to Alfred Hitchcock's Rope to Orson Welles' Touch of Evil, and many other besides.
It has been technically difficult to achieve, especially for British TV, but we wonder if its employment in this series might inspire similar approaches from directors.
Oddly, we also talk about Thomas the Tank Engine's geography, and the 1986 sequel to Alien...

Philip Hinchcliffe was supposed to be one of several guests on a panel discussing the TARDIS and its evolution throughout Doctor Who's history, but on the day the dice didn't roll quite as planned.

Addressing GettysburgThe Bullets Flew Like Hail with Author James McLean JrAuthor James McLean Jr. dropped in for his first podcast appearance to talk about his latest Savas-Beatie release, "The Bullets Flew Like Hail": Cutler’s Brigade at Gettysburg, from McPherson’s Ridge to Culp’s Hill. The first day of the battle has, for too long, been brushed over for various reasons, but it is still a brutal day of fighting with many of the units involved being nearly destroyed. July 1, 1863 is held in the top 20 of single-day battle casualties. Cutler's Brigade is one unit that had a hard slog in the fight and James' book is about just that.

Small Town MurderA Tale Of Two Sisters - McLean, VirginiaThis week, in McLean, Virginia, a frantic 911 call, from an out of state boyfriend starts an investigation, where a mother, and her adult daughter are found dead, in the same house. What initially looks like a standard murder/suicide, turns into a crazy plot, involving some wild staging, and very incriminating phone calls. The killer claims innocence until the very end, but the evidence was just too strong! Along the way, we find out that good bands play longer than 20 minute sets, that even rich people apparently have problems, and that even when the...

Kasterborous Classic TV: Exploring Doctor Who & Classic Sci-FiDoctor Who Commentary Special: Feast of Steven CGI RemakesThe first Doctor Who episode to air on Christmas Day was back in 1965, smack bang in the middle of The Daleks' Master Plan. A curio that most fans haven't seen, the episode exists only as an audio adventure from off air tapes.
Or does it?
Aside from a Peter Purves/Jean Marsh two-hander, alongside the original novelisation, various fan-made productions have been mounted. From telesnap archives to CGI recreations, fans have a wealth of options that while interesting, never quite capture the magic of a real episode. However, these projects are interesting in their own right.
