On this episode we're seeing what lies beneath Starship UK as we explore The Beast Below, Steven Moffat's least favourite Steven Moffat episode.

Has this episode become more relevant after 10 years? Is this the best dark fairy tale who has done? How does a winder kiss his wife? Is this a story about optimism or cynicism? What do people think the creepy poems are for? Answers to all these questions on this episode of Always Foolish.

On this episode, we discuss the newly revealed episode titles for series 14 (SPACE BABIES) and give some of our predictions. Plus David has some behind the scenes scoops from Doctor Who Magazine.

Why did Russell go with Space Babies? Why does it make people so angry? Why does Steven Moffat love one word titles? How long is a yard anyway? Is the British Empire the true villain? Often yes. But in Doctor Who? Maybe! Answers to these questions, and more in this episode.

In this extra episode I break down my favourite Turlough stories from across TV and audio. Why? Because I am better at procrastinating important things than you. Also because Turlough deserves more love!

My number 5 pick, Singularity, is available for just £2.99 on the Big Finish site.

On this bonus episode, we discuss all the latest Doctor Who news, except for the bits that hadn't happened yet (we recorded this before the episode titles were announced, thanks Russel!): The airdate controversy, Steven Moffat's return, and the first extended-look trailer. Plus David talks us through some of the latest news from Big Finish.

Is there a secret Eurovision plan for the series premiere? Who is our new cohost Glorbulox? What sort of stories might Steven Moffat pen? What should you do with memory sticks you find on the ground? How does Ncuti have this much charisma? Who is Susan Triad? How much Big Finish can Tom take? Answers to these questions, and more in this episode.

The Post Office scandal is one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in recent British history. But did you know Torchwood has already dealt with it? In this special mini episode I examine one of my favourite Big Finish audio dramas, Torchwood: The Three Monkeys, and how it covers this story. You could say it's the whole package! But you shouldn't.

On this episode we're generating some opinions as we discuss the Doctor's Daughter, an episode that changed the Doctor's life forever for about 39 minutes. Is Jenny actually the Doctor's daughter? What should fatherhood mean to the Doctor? Is this almost a really interesting discussion of war? How did Alice Troughton get so much out of so few corridors? Why was Martha left alone with the fish? Did Martha murder that fish and cover it up and now we're all complicit? Answers to these questions and more in this episode.

Plus David discovers some things that no other Doctor Who fan has ever discussed before! (probably)

On this episode we take a bite of the big apple as we set our eyestalks on Daleks in Manhattan and Evolution of the Daleks - two episodes which scream there are Daleks in these ones. Is there a fascinating study of capitalism hiding beneath the surface? What is the episode trying to say about humanity? Is the answer DNA? If the answer is DNA, what actually is the question? Why pigs Russell? What will Solomon bifurcate next? Answers to these questions and more in this episode.

We're back with another bonus episode, where we give our thoughts on The Giggle, the 60th anniversary's last laugh.

How terrifying was the toymaker? How electrifying was Ncuti? Can the 14th Doctor ever actually be happy? Doesn't everyone think they're right all the time anyway? Who/what/when/why is the Vlinx? Who/what/when/why was that ending? Will David ever stop talking about Doctor Gun? Answers to all these questions and more, on this episode of Always Foolish.
