Episode 101: A New Beginning

This week we sit down and talk to Amelia Pond herself, Miss Caitlin Blackwood.  Also, it's always nice to bump into old friends and catch up a bit...that's what we do with IDW Comics writer Tony Lee.

TARDIS Builders Jen & Scott sit and talk to us about their "special" build for Hurricane Who, and I give my observations on Orlando's only Doctor Who Convention now in their third year.

Episode 98: It's About Time

Well, it's about time.  About TIME that is for us to have to say farewell to one of the most successful crews the TARDIS has ever know.  It's always hard to say goodbye, and even harder to write a farewell episode and make it as meaningful as this.

We here at The Happiness Patrol have enjoyed most of our time shared with The Ponds...there were some ups and downs, that's for sure, but in the end, I think we may just miss them.  Only Time Will Tell, and it's about time...
