Series 5 of Doctor Who ended this past weekend, so TARDIScast recorded a full episode devoted to talking about the finale episodes, The Pandorica Opens and The Big Bang. We also offered some predictions and hopes for what we’ll see in the future of the show. Molly and Matt couldn’t make it this week, but Chris and Griff (our new token Brit) filled their shoes admirably.

So, as most of you Doctor Who fans know, last night was the season (or series, to use the British term) finale for the show. I'm sure a lot of you have watched it by now, and so has the TARDIScast cast! For our second episode of TARDIScast, we'll be giving our reactions to the two-part finale (The Pandorica Opens and The Big Bang), our overall impressions of the season, and maybe our predictions/dreams for where the show will go from here.

The usual cast will be here, and we'll try to bring on some guests (pretty much whoever gets a hold of one of us on Skype) to share their thoughts. Even though the finale has given us a lot to talk about, we'd always like to have your questions. Was there something about the finale that you particularly liked, disliked, or didn't understand? Do you think the series is going in a good direction? Where would you like Doctor Who to go next? Are fezzes cool? Let us know! (And if you've got a very spoilery question, send it to us at tardiscast.questions@gmail.com)

Also, there will be dancing!

This week we will be talking about the finale as well as the dalek episodes from the classic series.

Aaaaand welcome to TARDIScast, a new Doctor Who podcast by members of the Destructoid community! Every week, we’ll talk about Doctor Who news, in-depth topics on the series, and our story-by-story roundup of every Doctor Who serial.

Being our first episode (and the first time that some of us had ever talked to each other), the discussion went all over the place. We tried to catch up on everything that’s gone on in Series 5, as well as the show in general. In future, things will hopefully get a bit more focused and organized. Here’s some rough show notes:

Hello! A few members of the Destructoid community are trying to put together a Doctor Who community podcast. The first episode records tonight at 2PM PST (that's 5PM EST, and 10PM London time).

At the moment, the cast consists of Guncannon, JackShadow, Mollygos, Hei, and possibly Analoge.

We'll be getting together on Skype to discuss last week's episode, "The Lodger", and the very first ever episode of Doctor Who aired in 1963, "An Unearthly Child", among other topics.

This is somewhat of a test-run episode to see what works and what doesn't, so if you'd like to be involved or have a specific topic you'd like us to discuss, leave us a comment below.
