  • Episode 119: Like an Undercooked Cake (Season 15 Retrospective)
    Apr 21 2024

    It’s our customary season retrospective, as we take a look back at Season 15. If you’ve been following the podcast as we’ve talked through each story, you’ll know that we’ve fully embraced our controversial era: disliking the stories that fandom loves, and loving the stories that the fandom hates – but how will they all stand-up to our usual blend

    Join us as we talk about why Underworld is the best story of the season, which character Anthony desperately wants to punch, plenty about the horny prawn (of course!), the child-friendly decision to bring in a robot dog (yay K9!), and how we would have written out Leela in an ideal situation.

    If you would like to watch along with us, you can find the entirety of the Season available for streaming on Britbox in the USA (http://www.britbox.com) and BBC iPlayer in the UK (https://bbc.in/48GSaCB). If you prefer physical media, you can find the entirety of the season on Blu Ray from both Amazon US (https://amzn.to/3UjxV9S) and Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/42jXklM).

  • Episode 118: Effectively Getting Susan'd (The Invasion of Time)
    Apr 7 2024

    Gallifrey, Vardans, AND Sontarans!? What is this madness!? Well, The Invasion of Time, apparently. Join us, the Watchers in the Fourth Dimension (of Rassilon) as we pick apart the Doctor’s latest return to his ancestral homeland for run-ins with high-ranking Time Lords, the introduction of exciting Time Ladies, and goodbyes to two beloved companions.

    Join us as we talk about continuity errors, Tom Baker’s out-of-control ego, enormous amounts of jelly babies, mistreatment of K9, the Doctor’s enormous hypocrisy around time loops, the overuse of “DOC-TORRRR!” and the prospect of Borusa being played by Kenneth Williams. Naturally, Julie returns to old habits, talking about chairs, while the ending leaves Reilly devastated.
