We watch the last half of “The Five Doctors”, the 20th anniversary special that posits the eternal query: “If Tom Baker can’t be bothered to show up, is it really all that special?” As we ponder that question, the Doctor encounters (yet doesn’t recognize) his childhood bestie, the Doctor encounters phantom companions he shouldn’t know that they sho…

We watch the first two episodes of the 20th anniversary serial “The Five Doctors” in which the Doctors and their assorted companions get transmatted to the infamous Death Zone on Gallifrey... but none of them actually die? As said surviving is going down, the Doctor acts sexist, the Doctor attends the Brig’s poorly attended retirement party, the Do…

Now that our podcast locks its bedroom door, ignores us, and calls us ‘stupid’, we give it space to let it explore itself as we discuss Series 14. Whilst said ‘special time’ is occurring (it’s natural... we all do it...), friend-of-the-show-Tim asks us which random Doctor/Companion pairing would ‘do it’ (ship much Tim?), we recycle past Drunktor Wh…

All that plus the Doctor flirts with a bounty …

We watch “Dot And Bubble” (Series 14, Episode 5) in which we meet the seemingly vacuous and totally-non-homicidal Lindy Pepper-Bean. We follow Lindy on her typical day: she wakes up, checks her social feed, reports to work for her daily two hour shift, narrowly avoids being eaten by slow moving slug creatures…you know, the usual. Whilst all this wa…

We watch “73 Yards” (Series 14, Episode 4) where Ruby stars in the British remake of “It Follows”: “It Semperdistanses”.

I guess that makes Omega the Mar…

We watch the first two episodes of “The Three Doctors” (finally!) considered by most to be the 10th anniversary story of classic Who even though it aired nearly a year prior to the actual 10th anniversary…awkward. So whilst said premature shenanigans are shenaniganing, the Doctor investigates a rogue weather balloon, the Doctor catches up with UNIT…

We watch the concluding episodes of classic serial “Spearhead From Space” where the third Doctor and soon-to-be-companion-Liz-Shaw (no relation to Tim Shaw) battle space tentacles (?) attempting to take over the earth.

We end up watching the first two episodes of the classic serial “Spearhead From Space” where John ends up eating crow because Steve and I committed to watching “The Three Doctors” but I misremembered and thought that we were watching this story and did all the research for this story and then whilst live in the recording of the podcast Steve rightf…

We watch the first two episodes of the classic serial “The Tomb of the Cybermen” where Doctor Two takes Jamie and Victoria to a futuristic planet (that is most certainly not a quarry outside of London in 1967) where they encounter morons attempting to resurrect slumbering Cybermen.

We watch "Flux: Chapter Three - Once, Upon Time" (Series 13, Chapter 3), an episode so confusing that one of your hosts repeatedly named it incorrectly.

We welcome best selling author and humongous Doctor Who fan Andy Weir to the podcast where we discuss “City of Death”. This Fourth Doctor’s 1979 story was Andy’s choice not just because it’s a great story but for the sizzling chemistry between the Doctor and Romana... since the actors were frakking at the time apparently. Whilst speaking about Who …

We conclude our watch of the 1971 serial "Terror of the Autons" where the Doctor, Jo Grant, and UNIT assemble to defeat an evil plastic intent on taking over the world. Wait!

We watch the first two episodes of the Third Doctor story “Terror of the Autons”, originally broadcast before one of your cohosts was born. (Spoilers: it’s Steve. John is older than dirt. Carbon dating certification available on request.) Whilst we enjoy Jo Grant’s first story and her groovy 70’s style, the sexism of the 70s... not so much. Perhaps…

Welcome again weary travelers to the latest season recap of our most prior recapping of the previously watched and/or rewatched series 12 of Doctor Who.

We watch "Praxeus" (Series 12, Episode 5) where the Whoby Crew investigates why the birds are going all 'Hitchcocky' and why people are dying unexpectedly. Whilst said people are blowin’ up real good, the Fam recruit even more helpers in Hong Kong, Peru, and Madagascar, until you need a score card to tell who’s Who. Thankfully, the gays live and we…

We watch the final two episodes of the classic series story "Remembrance of the Daleks" featuring the seventh Doctor and Ace.
