Splendid Chaps: 50th Anniversary Tribute to Doctor Who

Overview

2013 is an exciting time to be a Whovian, what with all the 50th anniversary celebrations and a new Doctor on the way. But if you need a Doctor Who fix to keep you going 'til the Christmas special, make like David Tennant and say 'Allons-y!' to this event.

For the past year, Ben McKenzie (the one from Dungeon Crawl, not the one from The OC), John Richards (Outland, Boxcutters podcast) and Petra Elliott have been hosting Splendid Chaps, a monthly podcast/panel discussions dedicated to each Doctor, with special guests and musical performances. This month, the podcast comes to an end with a celebration of the eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith, and a general discussion about the future of the show. They'll be joined by comedians Justin Hamilton and Stella Young, and there'll be live music from Keating! composer Casey Benetto and their house band, The Time Lads.

Described as "part intellectual panel discussion and part nerdy Tonight Show" (The Age), the podcast's been getting some great reviews despite only having been around for a year, and they've been listed as one of Melbourne's ten best podcasts. There'll also be prizes, a stand-up Dalek and apparently the hosts have "a little extra something up their sleeves" to farewell the podcast.

Good news for Sydney Whovians, too — Splendid Chaps is coming to Sydney on November 30!
