  • HT&P 105.6 - Colony in Space 6
    Apr 16 2026

    And so this rewarding visit to one of Doctor Who's least celebrated 70s adventures comes to a close. It's am entry in the canon that really encapsulates the aims of Happy Times and Places : to give a fresh, positive look at a Doctor Who story, and learn to appreciate it for what it is as opposed to what it isn't. Guest Simon Curtis, the TT producer, has been a real help in this regard. Thanks Simon.

    And fare forward Tony Caunter, who played Morgan in this story, who died the day after this episode was recorded.

    Apr 9 2026

    Things are starting to get a bit repetitive now, but this story isn't the only six parter in which that happens. Besides, there are some excellent moustaches, some excellent villains and the Bakewell Tart of Death! What's not to love?

  • HT&P BONUS - Devil's Planet (moving pictures)
    Apr 3 2026

    SPOILERS HEREIN

    Be warned, this is a brand new commentary which takes in and describes the moving pictures featured in this recovered episode. So do not listen until you've watched the thing. Three people who saw these at the secret launch - host Toby and guests Oliver Crocker and Tim Burrows - recall the day that Peter Purves was lured to Leicester. And they try to choose the best thing about Devil's Planet. Which is harder than you might think. A Hell of a choice you might say.

I thought I knew a lot about classic Doctor Who but Toby Hadoke is in another league. His story reviews are excellent but it's the stand alone podcasts looking at one random aspect or theme in the show which at their best are sublime, especially his reminiscences of his childhood fandom. Maybe not a podcast for the casual viewer, but if think you know all about the whoniverse, think again, and enjoy. Happy times and places indeed.

Forensic and Funny

This is a wonderful podcast, and one of my go to comforts. Toby is all at once a polymath in the Whoniverse but also a very down to earth and non-condecending voice in the community. It's a podcast full of heart, rock hard knowledge and charming befuddlemant. In an increasingly dull and hermoginised world its very much a happy time and place.

Warm, insightful, fun

It’s so refreshing to hear a Doctor Who podcast which accentuates the positive rather than descending into moaning.
Not only that, but Toby is such a font of knowledge, telling you everything you could ever possibly want to know and maybe a few things you never knew you wanted to know. Even when you goes off topic, there’s a charm to him that makes you enjoy the tangents all the more.
Perfect listening to make you fall in love with the programme all over again.

Positively informative

Toby’s commentary is outstanding. The wealth of knowledge about the actors and the series is awesome and makes for a very interesting listen for fans of the show.

Fascinating in depth knowledge

A thoroughly entertaining, witty and *positive* Doctor Who podcast. A very easy listen, and always guaranteed to put a smile on my face.

Essential listening for Doctor Who fans
