The Nimon Be Praised
The Nimon Be Praised! discuss The Ribos Operation
In their debut episode, Jack and Joe tackle the opening story of series sixteen. Discussion of Robert Holmes, the season arc, the production, the double acts and shine much light on why they love this story.
The Nimon Be Praised! discuss Underworld
Jack & Joe bring all their deductive powers to the fore and study the 1977 story Underworld to try find some positives to say! In this episode we are interrupted by the postman, discuss whether the enjoyment of special effects spoils or enhances our experience of watching Doctor Who, try and come to the conclusion of whether watching Underworld adds enjoyment to our week and figure who would play certain characters if this was a New Series episode today! You might think it is impossible to spend two hours talking about Underworld...but never underestimate The Nimon Be Praised!
The Nimon Be Praised! discuss Ace
This week Jack and Joe tackle the apparently unstoppable companion known as Ace. Was she the secret weapon of the Sylvester McCoy era on television? Did anyone like this actually exist in the eighties? Should she have been locked up as a modern day vandal? Just how many stories HAS she featured in? And do her books and audios count? All this and more fabulous Nimon quotes, Joe battling with his phone alarm and Jack using his finest charm to consider how he would get on on a date with Ace. The Nimon Be Praised! is back!
The Nimon Be Praised! discuss Their Guilty Pleasures
It's time for Jack & Joe to confess their sins and reveal their Doctor Who guilty pleasures. Much laughter ensues as they attempt to convince one another that Time and the Rani, The Girl Who Died, Planet of the Daleks and The Husbands of River Song are all deliriously enjoyable. Which story is the campest? Does one feature a Doctor Who can make you believe in any scenario? Why is everything in a Jamie Mathieson story so rubbish? And would Husbands have been a good place for Steven Moffat to step off? All this and much, much more. We had a riot recording this episode...we hope you all enjoy it. There are a few moments (just moments) where the time lagged but it shouldn't affect your enjoyment.
The Nimon Be Praised! discuss The Russell T. Davies era 0.5
Join Jack & Joe as they take a waltz through the Russell T. Davies era. Well, that was the idea. Instead we only got halfway through season one AND singularly failed to remember The Long Game (which we will come back to). It’s an era with plenty to unpick and we will be come back to it in half season segments. Was Rose the ultimate audience identification character? Is The Unquiet Dead quite unmemorable in retrospect? And are the Slitheen the secret weapon of series one? All this is and much much more as we both learn that when talking about Doctor Who, we can’t do things by halves.
Just wanted to say how much fun and enjoyment I'm getting from your podcast. It's great; please keep going. Especially liked hearing your guilty pleasures (the whole of Season 23 is mine, right down to the ripe P&J dialogue and crash-zooms at the end of every episode). So pleased that someone else loves comedy Capaldi as much as me. More please!
ReplyDeleteThat is so kind of you to say, Dan, thank you very much. We are having a ball recording them. We've got some really fun stories coming up to talk about and we're thinking of delving into a few commentaries too. Many thanks for listening.
