Join Jack & Joe as they kick off series two with a combative episode discussing the gripping Key to Time epic, The Power of Kroll. How would Russell T. Davies have written this story? Is it possible to give a damn about the Swampies? Is this the best Doctor Who location work? And find out all about the sequel...The Children of Kroll! All this and more...as we try very hard to discuss the merits or otherwise of this run of the mill adventure.
Timeless/HellBent
Join Jack & Joe as they tackle the potentially thorny subject of controversial episodes, specifically Hell Bent and The Timeless Children. Two divisive Gallifrey based episodes that attempt to shake up the formula. Was Hell Bent the ultimate criticism of the Doctor and how far he is meant to go...it is it just perversely toxic characterisation? Was The Timeless Children a bold opening out of the shows storytelling possibilities...or was a damning of established continuity? Join us as we reach some huge conclusions about two reviled and celebrated episodes.
Season 24
Join Jack and Joe as they avoid the Rani’s bubble traps, swim past the robotic nasties in the pool, let loose the bees that bring down the Bannermen and open a window that melts off Kane’s face. Season 24 is in the limelight and we’re ready to discuss whether it is unfairly maligned. Is this Sylvester McCoy’s best season, performance wise? Is Mel as grotesque as the stories around her? Hurry...while stocks last.
The Twin Dilemma
With Jack off on thespian duties, Joe dares to plumb the depths of melodrama and tackle The Twin Dilemma solo! Does Colin Baker salvage this story or ruin it? Is tin foil chic an eighties aesthetic? Should Hugo Lang have been a companion? Does Fabian deserve her own spin off show? And can Joe defend his 5/10 rating for this story?
Akhaten/Praxeus
Join Jack & Joe as they are reunited after a few weeks and get to work praising stories from eras they aren’t fond of. Can Merry actually sing? What is the best version of Clara? Is Doctor Who too woke? And is it possible to give four regulars something to do in 45 minutes? All this and a full ten minutes of frippery as we desperately manage to avoid introducing our topic!
The Caves of Androzani
Jack & Joe are back! This week they are discussing an undisputed classic...or perhaps they are about to dispute that? Is Nicola Bryant a little too good in the role of the sexually targeted victim? Is this the best directed Doctor Who story? Are there any redeemable characters here? And should this be going out at teatime? All this and a trailer for the next four episodes...featuring guest stars!
The TV Movie
Join Jack, Joe and special guest star Kayla (creator of the podcast artwork) as they head to San Fransisco 1999 for the start of Paul McGann’s prolific reign as the Doctor. Just who was the most vital minor character? How camp can Eric Roberts go? Is this a movie or a pilot? All this and so much more laughter and high jinks.
Punkab/Mysterio
Join Jack & Joe & Rohan as they step into the muddy waters of the partition of India and leap into the technicolour panels of a Doctor Who comic strip. Does Jodie Whittaker cement herself as the Doctor in this mid season historical? Does Mysterio live up to the legacy of the superhero movies it is homaging? And how would you cast the romantic leads in this romcom? All this and more as we introduce a brilliantly engaging guest caster.
Ghost Light
Join Jack & Joe as they scratch the Victorian veneer and see if something nasty comes crawling out. Clever or confusing? Is this a renaissance for the show? The best cast in the classic series? And is the extended blu ray version worth watching? All this and more Light impressions than is healthy for two grown men to perform.
Nathan Bottomley
Join Joe as he has a fascinating conversation with fellow podcaster, Nathan Bottomley, from Flight Through Entirety. We discuss FTE, Eric Saward, Hinchcliffe, RTD, Steven Moffat, Barbara, Susan, Jo Grant, Sarah Jane, Robert Holmes...and so much more. We wander the length and breadth of Doctor Who.
Favourite Christmas Specials
Join Jack & Joe as we round off our second series of podcasts with a discussion of our favourite Christmas Specials! Does RTD even get a look in? Why is Jack’s favourite Joe’s least favourite? Is Matt Smith’s Doctor a left wing time fascist? Does Peter Capaldi finally cheer up at Christmas? And what will be the last of The Brain of Morbius quotes as wave goodbye to that story and herald in a fresh one?
