Episode 240: Russell “Rose Tyler” Davies
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 59 minutes and 52 secondsHow many Rose Tyler jokes can we make before this gets old?
If you believe the fan theory that Doctor Who is just based on someone going back in time and reconstructing what the episodes should look like based on our podcast then by that theory our podcast represents not only how Doctor Who is, but how it could have been, how it should have been, and how it wasn’t. We literally represent every possible timeline of Doctor Who, right here in this podcast. Hey if it Stephen Moffat can do it so can I. It’s The Rings of Akhaten, written by Neil Cross and aired on April 7, 2013.
Show-notes:
0:56 I’m guessing this is other Russel Davies.
1:49 Dwayne The Rock Johnson (a.k.a. the Fourteenth Doctor) usually eats like a week’s worth of food on Sundays.
2:19 The other shows Neil Cross writes/wrote for.
11:37 One’s near a church, the other’s not. That’s it.
18:50 This is the billionth time I’ve linked to this chart and I have become exceedingly efficient at it.
20:44 it was the Dogon people from Mali, actually in West Africa.
33:48 The Hath.
57:07 Unicron is a planet-sized Transformer.
57:40 I actually miss Blake’s 7 and the podcast we made about it, Zenith.

Episode 239: It's Not a Leaf, It's a Bomb
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 40 minutes and 11 secondsWho could have seen that coming?
I’m actually pretty sure the first time I saw this episode I thought Moffat was really clever for the whole “bells of St. John” thing. And you know, I still do. On the other hand though, he’s aware enough to make a joke about it, but where did the St. John’s Ambulance logo go during all those years between like 1970-something and now? In universe the exterior design of the TARDIS isn’t supposed to change so… where dit that logo go? It’s The Bells of St. John, written by Stephen Moffat and aired on March 30, 2013.
Show-notes:
4:31 Neuralink is the company Elon Musk started to create real Cybermen. And no, he doesn’t live in the house he was born in. Lol.
8:10 BBC article about how American accents resemble the British accents of a couple hundred years ago.
12:33 Summer Falls was actually published as an ebook.
22:17 National Geographic footage of a deep-sea squid interacting with bombs.
23:03 A painting by Banksy was put up for auction a few months ago and was shredded as soon as it was sold.
38:38 David Tenant started a new podcast last month.

Episode 238: More Deadly than Mary Poppins
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 7 minutes and 54 secondsMary Poppins? Now there’s a name I have not heard in a long time.
Ding dong, turns out Christmas is here again, in February! Hasn’t Christmas just passed? Like, two months ago, or not even. A month a week, on this podcast anyway. That’s kind of weird, I’d say this is the shortest period between two Christmas Specials, but during the 12th Doctor’s Era we get two in a row, which naturally has to be the shortest possible period. It’s The Snowmen, written by Stephen Moffat and aired on December 25, 2012.
Show-notes:
20:13 The Artful Dodger sounds like kind of a sketch guy.
32:23 Apparently Russell T. Davies is actually a pseudonym and as far as I can tell the “T” doesn’t stand for anything. His real name is is Stephen Russell Davies. The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction says he added the T to avoid confusion with another Russell Davies.
32:32 The children’s show I was talking about here was Century Falls, which came out i 1993. I think I was mixing up the characters with another Russel T. show, Bob & Rose, which has a character named Rose Cooper. I’ve never watched either of these shows, so I could be wrong about this.
33:41 Full text of How Watson Learned the Trick and The Hound of the Baskervilles.
52:27 The hardest Sherlock Holmes story to solve in my opinion is The Boscombe Valley Mystery. The other stories we mentioned here were The Six Napoleons and The Blue Carbuncle.
57:35 Miss Marple is one of the most famous female fictional detective.

Episode 237: Walmart Wilf
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 19 minutes and 25 secondsOn the prowl for dangerous criminals it’s Leadworth’s latest superhero…. Walmart Wilf!
I typically don’t shop at Walmart. I’m honestly just too lazy to drive that far, like it’s definitely not the closest department store to me. I haven’t done the math, but I’m pretty sure the extra cost of gas spent in driving to Walmart would outpace the money I’d save spending it there instead of anywhere closer. Now I’m wondering, are there any Walmarts in New York? Let alone Manhattan? It’s The Angels Take Manhattan, written by Stephen Moffat and aired on September 29, 2012.
Show-notes:
2:34 Frederick Law Olmstead was some guy who designed Central Park. I’m sure he wasn’t that important.
10:38 The Angel’s Kiss was a prequel to Melody Malone: Private Detective in Old New York Town that was actually published as a book and audio book. The Hardy Boys is a series of detective stories for kids.
11:59 Project Gutenberg is a great site for getting public domain stories. Standard Ebooks is the site that standardizes them “for the true book lover.”
13:12 The Golden Compass a.k.a. Northern Lights is another book for kids. I watched the movie version of this when it came out like 10+ years ago and all I remember was that there was a pretty badass polar bear.
14:27 Philip Marlowe is yet another fictional detective. Philip Marlowe vs. The Hardy Boys when?
17:06 The storyboarded version of Brian learning about the events of this episode is online here.
17:15 Tom Baker finally published Doctor Who Meets Scratchman as a novel. There’s a even a video of Baker himself lovingly providing a sneak preview of the book (which is already out but yeah).
32:12 Triple Play is a podcast where we discuss movie trilogies and stuff.
39:15 We even discussed the amazing Troll trilogy (Troll, Troll 2, and Contamination .7)
40:03 Here’s all the Sting/Police songs we mention (also Oingo Boingo is a thing): Every Breath You Take, Don’t Stand So Close to Me
43:31 The wiki doesn’t list anyone else as playing Rory, so it was probably Arthur Darvill.

Episode 236: What Are You Going to Do, Zeus?
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 57 minutes and 38 secondsCan anyone find Cronus? Zeus needs to be put in a time out.
You know, Doctor Who really likes to tell us how many people is the right number, and it turns out it’s three. Which means that our podcast is one man short, and that further means that only our crossovers are “correct” in Doctor Who’s eyes. But you know, I don’t think either of us really care. It’s The Power of Three, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on September 22, 2012.
Show-notes:
19:28 SIDRAT made its first appearance in The War Games.
23:26 If you don’t know, they served McDonald’s at the White House recently thanks to the government shutdown.
23:53 Wikipedia actually has a a couple good lists of American shows that were British first and British shows that were American first.
28:50 Painting a Room by Katia Kapovich.
43:41 The Christian end of the world is Rapture.

Episode 2.1: Your Opinion is Valid Even if it's Wrong
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 17 minutes and 17 secondsBetter watch out, the opinion police are coming!
Continuing and then abruptly ending our reboot of season 1 of Doctor Who, is the second story of the seasons. We only ever intended to do these two, since we figured, who the bloody hell wants to listen to an episode about Edge of Destruction anyway? If anything, you’ll listen to An Unearthly Child (because it’s the start) and The Daleks (because… it’s the daleks?) and then give up. So here it is, The Daleks, written by Terry Nation and aired in December 1963 through Freburary 1964.
Show-notes:
3:08 According to the Blake’s 7 wiki, Terry Nation did write Aftermath.
7:09 Check out our Blake’s 7 podcast Zenith.
16:22 Rex Tucker directed The Gunfighters.
1:13:37 The Lost City of Z is a book.

Episode 235: Daemons versus Silents
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 58 minutes and 25 secondsThe showdown of the century!
This town aint big enough for more than one podcast. And we all know which podcast that is. That’s right. It’s Triple Play. Not enough space around here for Triple Play as well as Trust Your Doctor, and since Triple Play is obviously the better podcast we’re shutting this one down. Just kidding. I think. It’s A Town Called Mercy, written by Toby Whithouse and aired on September 15, 2012.

Episode 234: Birds Before Birds Were Cool
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 52 minutes and 52 secondsOh boy I can already see the debate coming.
Welcome… To Jurassic Spaceship! We’ve spared no expense. This spaceship is made of solid stone, through and through. Couldn’t really afford steel you know, so we went along with this pumice we found lying near that definitely inactive volcano. A few workers walked off the job, never to be seen again, which is kind of weird because we paid them really well, you know? It’s Dinosaurs on a Spaceship, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on September 8, 2012.
Show-notes:
2:02 I’m pretty sure this is the exact documentary I watched 10 years ago. Looks like they made a sequel to it a few years ago.
3:44 The robots in this were in Mission: 2110.
16:44 4D Rubik’s Cube.
25:09 According to the Doctor Who Wiki the robot voices and operators weren’t the same people.
27:26 Naked and Afraid is survival reality show or whatever. I haven’t watched it but it looks pretty bad.
46:24 Godzilla King of Monsters will be out this year, reserve your tickets now.
50:35 Mei long was the name of the dinosaur that they found fossilized in its sleeping position.

Episode 233: I'm Literally Davros
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 35 minutes and 38 secondsDamn, guess I’m Davros now.
Alright brace yourselves. Trying to wrap your head around the continuity behind the Daleks in this episode might just drive you mad. Why are there new paradigm Daleks mixed with old ones? Where did they even come from I thought they all died off before Victory? And why do the Daleks have a freaking asylum? It’s Asylum of the Daleks, written by Stephen Moffat and aired on September 1, 2012.
Show-notes:
5:12 This Doctor Who scarf site should help if you want towaste your timemake your own.

Episode 232: The Science of Lemonade
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 3 minutes and 0 secondsEveryone knows how to make lemonade right?
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Well, sort of. This episode awkwardly gets plopped between the two but, close enough. And we’re even talking about a Christmas episode, can you believe that? Pretty sure this will never happen again until 2020 at least if they air one we can watch live. Otherwise, savor the moment. It’s The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe, written by Stephen Moffat and aired on December 25, 2011.
Show-notes:
1:46 Last Christmas is actually by Wham. Now we know who to thank for performing the worst Christmas song of all time.
2:17 Fairytale of New York isn’t from a musical, but according to Wikipedia it’s the most played Christmas song of the 21st century in the UK and also considered by many to be the best Christmas song of all time. Good thing we found out a while ago that opinions can be wrong.
6:32 Aslan is Turkish for lion according to Wikipedia.
13:33 If you’ve ever wanted to hear us talk about Aladdin, you’re in luck.
13:59 Entertainment Weekly’s first look image of Aladdin 2019 (mirrored for some reason)
19:57 If you’ve ever wanted to hear us talk about Blake’s 7, you’re in luck.
28:15 I forgot the part where Dr. Seuss’ wife committed suicide. After the affair.
34:20 Chocolate Rain
35:06 Big Chungus is a fairly new meme.
42:26 Here’s the video about The Last Jedi.

Episode 231: The Roast of Steven Moffat
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 48 minutes and 1 secondLook out Steven, we’re coming for you.
You’ll never believe what happened to us while we were recording this episode. Dylan received a phone call from someone desperately trying to stop us recording. Turns out, our podcast recording last week was a fixed point in time, and the attempt to stop us recording caused the entirety of the space time continuum to fall apart. We put it back together, so you wouldn’t have noticed anything except now it seems the sky is a weird shade of blue. We’re sorry about that, it seems we weren’t quite able to get it back to it’s original yellow. It’s The Wedding of River Song, written by Steven Moffat and aired on October 1, 2011.
Show-notes:
5:40 Parts of the Millennium Bridge is made out of aluminum
6:40 It was this thing.
8:57 The Rats in the Walls is a story by H.P. Lovecraft. Also I did bad job describing it here, so just read it.

Episode 230: Yippie and Company
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 59 minutes and 44 secondsBring back yippie honestly. Best Character 2k11.
The biggest disappointment in this episode is that the song “Closing Time” is nowhere to be seen anywhere in this story. It’d be perfect, you know? It’d be that exact thing that Kiyan hates, kind of like that time they used “Iron Man” in the movie, Iron Man. It’s Closing Time, written by Gareth Roberts and aired on September 24, 2011.
Show-notes:
8:56 Three Men and A Baby is a 1987 movie directed by Leonard Nimoy of all people. I couldn’t find any info on whether Two and Half Men was named after or influenced by this movie.
9:32 We listened to the Spare Parts audio last year with Krynoid Podcast. It’s supposed to be the Cyberman origin story.
13:50 Both IMDB and Colin Baker’s official site(?) say that he was in Shakespeare plays.
17:50 Check out our coverage of the first 3 Rocky movies.
19:04 Alf is an anteater puppet who pretends to be an alien puppet on a televised puppet show called Alf.
31:15 Yes, lingerie refers only to women’s undergarments.

Episode 229: If We Stop the Podcast, We Die
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 43 minutes and 11 secondsAt least we only have to do this for the rest of our lives.
Look. I run this podcast. I edit it. I maintain the website. Basically what I’m saying is that it’s my podcast. No one else’s. Am I doing this God Complex thing right? I actually don’t think I am now that I think about it. Close enough. I’ll have to look at Steven Moffat for more examples I guess. It’s The God Complex, written by Toby Whithouse and aired on September 17, 2011.
Show-notes:
1:27 Tension and release is a pretty big tenet of comedy in general and has a history of theory behind it. This article puts at least some if it in perspective.2:15 Can’t believe there are already 13th Doctor books.
25:42 Check out our Blake’s 7 podcast Zenith.

Episode 228: Everything Could Be an Elaborate Lie
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 59 minutes and 5 secondsGood lord, I don’t think I’ve ever thought of that until now.
This week we locked ourselves in a plain white room to record. It actually kind of sucked, because I usually zone out looking at my keyboard when we record these things. Kind of like entering a podcasting metastate, but that’s ok. We figured it out. Might switch to this plain white room approach for every episode moving forward. It’s The Girl Who Waited, written by Tom McRae, and aired on September 10, 2011.

Episode 227: Escape Being Ginger
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 44 minutes and 13 secondsEveryone wants to be brunette now.
This week Kiyan and Dylan confront their deepest darkest fears. And in order to do so they make a podcast! Gasp! This is such a huge twist of events, who could have ever predicted that this is what they would do? Certainly not us! It’s Night Terrors, written by Mark Gatiss and aired on September 3, 2011.
Show-notes:
3:38 The Monkey by Stephen King (if you can stand the way this site presents it that is).
4:21 Under the Dome is the sequel to the Simpsons Movie.
5:41 The word “berserk” means “bear shirt” and refers to Norse warriors (“berserkers”) who would wear bear skins when going into battle.

Episode 226: Fast and Furious: Leadworth Drift
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 59 minutes and 52 secondsVery fast and furious when you really think about it.
This week we try to stop one of the biggest tyrants in history and then promptly decide to dick around and not even do that. I mean, if you have the chance to change the entire course of human history, why would you? It’s Let’s Kill Hitler, written by Steven Moffat and aired on August 27, 2011.
Show-notes:
17:07 The Nuremberg trials started in 1945.
17:38 Meet Dave is movie about a bunch of people inside Eddie Murphy. I’ve never watched it, but I’m sure it’s even better than it sounds.
19:30They don’t look that similar to the Mister Handy line of robots from Fallout.

Episode 225: Stephen Moffat Hospital for Abduction
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 55 minutes and 38 secondsEverybody should know how to get to the hospital for abduction.
This week Kiyan and Dylan make it to the mid season finale, finally! The next half of the season is going to run much slower than this half, mainly because it’s all one parters, so it’ll take us until Christmas to get through it. But hey, until then we get to enjoy this story, A Good Man Goes to War, written by Stephen Moffat and aired on June 4, 2011.
Show-notes:
1:45 Check out Zenith, our podcast where we watch and discuss Blake’s 7.
2:06 The Roast of Pip and Jane Baker
3:38 Battlestar Galactica and Life on Mars are two shows we don’t have podcasts about.
23:44 People probably fell in to the Thames during the 1814 frost fair. Here’s a better look at a print depicting some fools falling through cracks in the ice.
24:43 This is like the third time I have linked to this River Song timeline thing by Will Brooks and I have become exceedingly efficient at it.
26:00 Born of Man and Woman by Richard Matheson. Ignore the “commentary” on the site and just read the story.

Episode 224: None of that Merriam-Webster Garbage
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 0 minutes and 26 secondsVerbose – Adj. Using or expressed in more words than are needed.
Kiyan and Dylan are now recording using remote bodies! This is the technology of the future, and we have it right now! Not gonna lie, this is a bit weird. I can’t feel my fingers anymore. Or my legs. Or my head. Its The Rebel Flesh and The Almost People, written by Matthew Graham and aired on May 21 and 28, 2011.
Show-notes:
1:29 Matthew Graham created Life on Mars and sequel Ashes to Ashes. Only the first show has John Simm, but both shows involve a police officer who goes back in time.
10:38 It was probably Ace Lightning.
47:31 Here’s the image of Alice, done by John Tenniel.

Episode 223: The Many Personalities of John Nathan-Turner Ft. Argy
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 43 minutes and 8 secondsI have more questions than answers right now.
This week we’re joined for our first crossover of the reboot. I think. I’m pretty sure. I’d check but I’m sure enough that I’m not going to. Just trust me on this one, I’m really certain of it. It’s The Doctor’s Wife, written by Neil Gaiman and aired on May 14, 2011.
Show-notes:
0:33 Argy also joined us on Zenith, our Blake’s 7 podcast.
3:33 One of Neil Gaimain’s first huge success was Sandman. He has also written books like American Gods, The Graveyard Book, Coraline, and Good Omens with Terry Pratchett.
15:14 The Goodies and Space 1999 are British tv shows.
21:01 Red Dwarf is yet another British tv show that people have also recommended to us.
33:08 Neither I nor Dylan could find the Day of the Doctor featurette, but I did find this completely unrelated article from the Winnipeg Sun about a doctor who makes house calls on a motorcycle.
58:41 Michael Pickwoad did all of Peter Capaldi’s Tardis interiors and Matt Smith’s second one.
1:02:53 We reached out to Neil Gaiman on Twitter and he said he didn’t know about Nineveh.
1:10:31 The entire brutal conversation between Pip and Jane Baker and Chris Chibnall.

Episode 222: We're Jersey Shore Pirates, Dude
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 45 minutes and 20 secondsThat’s pretty smartly brah.
Arrrrrr mateys. This week we’re here for a special pirate themed episode of Trust Your Doctor, where we do absolutely none of the following: Neglect to bathe for a month, talk like a pirate in broken english, use strange pirate slang that fell out of use years ago, neglect to shave for years on end. It’s The Curse of the Black Spot, written by Steve Thompson and aired on May 7, 2011.

7:50 It might’ve been quicker to look him up in the phone book, but it wouldn’t have been as cool.
8:23 I can’t find the edit anywhere anymore. It was on Youtube for sure. If you can find it, email us.
10:56 According to History Channel, pirates didn’t actually make people walk the plank.

Episode 221: Welcome to America
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 12 minutes and 56 secondsAmerica, heck yea! Censored for unsafe eyes.
This week we finally officially properly start Series 6. Last week kind of counted because it was produced as part of the same thing, but this week is like, the actual thing you know? And! We get to go to America, that’s pretty cool right? It’s The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon, written by Steven Moffat and aired on April 23 and 30, 2011.
Show-notes:
6:10 The 1981 version with really awkward music video.
11:05 Maybe we’ll cover Space 1999 once we finish our Blake’s 7 podcast, Zenith. Maybe.
17:52 Tuesday is a 1991 children’s picture book about werid crap happening on Tuesday.
26:55 Star Trek The Original Series ran from 8 September 1966 to 3 June 1969. Apollo 11 launched on 16 July, so Star Trek was already off the air.
29:51 The Haemovariform from Tooth & Claw was on Earth for a couple hundred years. That’s really the only one I can think of just skimming through the list of stories.
31:56 Here’s the Will Brooks River/Doctor timeline chart again. Gives me a headache just looking at it.
42:12 Here’s Tom Baker playing Rasputin in 1971.
52:14 David Frost’s interviews of Nixon are on Youtube.

Episode 220: You Came to Doctor Who for Consistency?
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 53 minutes and 25 secondsRan into The Doctor yesterday. She told me not to expect any consistency in Chibnall’s era either.
Ding dong here come the Christmas bells. The Christmas horses. Reindeer. Ok look Christmas is hard to try shove into this description so I’m just gonna give up. Unlike Kiyan I actually like Christmas though. It’s A Christmas Carol, written by Steven Moffat and aired on December 25, 2010.
Show-notes:
5:02 Skyscraper is a documentary about William Le Baron Jenney, the father of the modern skyscraper.
11:51 Michael Gambon and Richard Harris were the two main actors to play Dumbledore.

Episode 219: Rory Danger Pond
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 8 minutes and 36 secondsOnly on Doctor Who would you find someone with the middle name Danger.
This week things go sideways. Like, really sideways. But also it goes upside down and in reverse and crooked. And all those non forward directions that Stephen Moffat loves so much. It’s The Pandorica Opens and The Big Bang, written by Stephen Moffat and aired on June 19 and 26, 2010.
Show-notes:
1:16 The Mill did the effects for this.
13:57 Here’s the paper about the neural network.
27:46 The Borg are a Star Trek villain. Borg is actually a misspelling of “Bored,” cause they’re the most bored race in the universe.
41:28 Aunt Lavinia was Sarah Jane’s biological aunt.
1:07:47 Triple Play is our movie trilogy podcast. We’ve been doing it since 2015 and its age is the same as the number of listeners it has.

Episode 218: James Corden's Skeleton
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 39 minutes and 6 secondsClosets hold a lot of skeletons honestly. Or at least, mine do.
James Corden is actually a pretty funny guy. I think because Gordon Ramsey is a chef I confused him with James Corden, somehow, even though their names are literally nothing alike. At all. I must be really dense honestly, because that’s completely bizarre. It’s The Lodger, written by Gareth Roberts and aired on June 12, 2010.
Show-notes:
1:41 The comic version is also called The Lodger.
10:23 Good on the wiki for using a picture that somehow makes Kronos look cool.
32:58 It was The Hopes and Fears of All the Years, which we covered like 9 months ago.

Episode 217: Anything is Better than Traveling with Adric
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 55 minutes and 55 secondsE-space kind of sucked tho so I’ll give him a pass for trying to escape.
I looked up how to paint once. But it was really difficult and kind of expensive and so I decided it would be better to look up how to digitally paint since I already had photoshop. But then I found out that it’s easier with one of those art tablets so I gave up on that too and started a podcast. It’s Vincent and the Doctor, written by Richard Curtis and aired on June 5, 2010.
Show-notes:
9:48 Vincent and Theo is a 1990 movie. Wonder who ok-ed that poster.
15:10 Apparently it is pronounced “Nye.”
18:43 The Musee d’Orsay is indeed in Paris.
21:55 The “Van Gogh only sold 1 painting in his lifetime” thing has been called into question. Some people say he sold more. Some say he only sold the one – The Red Vineyard. There are plenty of theories out there, and we’ll probably never know how many he really sold for sure.
32:42 Fun fact we had the bipolar to manic depressive in reverse, it used to be called manic depressive and now it’s called bipolar. Basically, “manic depressive” has bigger negative connotations than “bipolar,” so the DSM officially changed the name in the 80s. Also, DSM stands for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
48:22 Can’t believe I actually found the blog post again.

Episode 216: The Most Productive 12 Minutes in Human History
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 6 minutes and 35 secondsDa da da da, da da da…. That was supposed to be the A-Team.
Hey look we’re bringing back the Silurians. You all know the Silurians right? They appeared a whole two times! Which is actually less than Sabalom Glitz. And when you really think about that, you have to ask yourself, why are we bringing them back? It’s Hungry Earth & Cold Blood, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on May 22 and 29, 2010.
Show-notes:
4:42 The Kola Superdeep Borehole is over 7 miles deep but only 9 inches across.
12:42 I would hate to be a Predator if it means seeing like this.
17:44 Apparently blue grass music is named after the Blue Grass Boys, a band from Kentucky.
34:24 Malcolm Hulke did create the Silurians.

Episode 215: Very Creative Deaths
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 44 minutes and 57 secondsThey weren’t important anyway.
Weirdly enough, as I’m writing this, I just woke up from a dream about Blake’s 7. Which is weird because I’ve never dreamt about Doctor Who even though I’ve been watching it forever. Really disconcerting actually. Weird. It’s Amy’s Choice, written by Toby Whithouse and aired on May 15, 2010.
Show-notes:
4:02 Sophie’s Choice is a 1979 book by William Stryton.
6:03 Probably The Confessions of Nat Turner.
9:07 The Valeyard was supposedly from between the Doctor’s twelfth and final incarnation. The novelization says that he’s somewhere between the twelfth and thirteenth incarnation. I guess all of this isn’t true anymore or just not considered in the modern show.
12:29 Stetson is a hat brand with a really interesting history.
14:42 We discussed bottle episodes when we discussed Sarcophagus on Zenith, our Blake’s 7 podcast.
20:57 Gee I wonder why this flopped.

Episode 214: Broom is Doomed
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 39 minutes and 47 secondsThe age of brooms is over. I for one welcome our new mop overlords.
Well, this week we sparkle. Not that you can really tell, because it’s an audio podcast and not a video podcast, but just trust me, we are. We have the blinds open and the sun is streaming in and we’re just dying while we record. It’s The Vampires of Venice, written by Toby Whithouse and aired on May 8, 2010.
Show-notes:
7:15 This could have been an interesting thread about the differences between a stag party and a bachelor party until some no-fun-allowed nerds decided to close it for being off topic.
11:38 Check out Zebra, the world’s number like 3 or 4 Blake’s 7 podcast.
12:45 According to New World Encyclopedia, the population of Venice was around 124,000 in 1581.
24:48 Arachne I guess? But it looks like she more gets transformed into a spider.
29:35 Rosanna or Roseanne? Who rosanned better?
35:29 Toby Jones was the really famous British actor who plays the villain in Amy’s Choice.

Episode 212: War is for Kids
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 48 minutes and 4 secondsOnly on Doctor Who can kids participate in that age old game known as war.
This week Dylan and Kiyan visit Winston Churchill. Turns out he’s as much of a hot head dick as everybody actually portrays him to be. Nobody here is actually surprised. Well maybe one person is surprised. I wasn’t surprised. It’s Victory of the Daleks, written by Mark Gatiss and aired on April 17, 2010.
Show-notes:
10:16 Here’s Ian McNiece’s filmography. I don’t think I’ve seen him in anything else.
18:58 FROBISHER

23:02 On Exactitude in Science by Jorge Luis Borges.
41:31 Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima. February 23, 1945.
46:40 The Special Weapons Dalek was a dalek with a massive gun from Remembrance of the Daleks. Forgot about this freaking crazy design. This is honestly more offensive than the paradigmers from this story, but I guess nobody cared enough about Doctor Who in the 80s to cause a big fuss.

We’re already deep in the Stephen Moffat era and frankly we’re done with this nonsense. Bring on Chibnall honestly, space whales, seriously? I’m done. It’s The Beast Below, written by Stephen Moffat and aired on April 10, 2010.
Show-notes:
1:39 London has royal parks, which used to be royal hunting grounds, and garden squares, which used to be private residences.
9:05 Check out the sonic screwdriver count on our site. Might not be up to date though.

The Tenth Doctor Retrospective
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 5 minutes and 55 secondsOnly the best parenting tips on this podcast.
This week Kiyan and Dylan take a long introspective look at themselves as parents of a little baby podcast. Have we done it right? Have wee been raising this little boy right? Or girl, whatever it chooses. We also sort of talk about like, The Tenth Doctor and Death and the Queen, written by James Goss and released in May of 2016. Death and the Queen can be purchased for $3 (or your local equivalent) on Big Finish's website.

Episode 209: Let Her Go Russell T.
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 32 minutes and 52 secondsDon’t you even think about it Stephen.
So it comes to this. The end of the Tenth Doctor, goes out with quite a bang, and about 10 minutes of plot stretched out over two hours with a twenty minute epilogue! Truly, the epitome of the Russell T. Story. It’s The End of Time, written by Russell T. Davies and aired on December 25, 2009 and January 1, 2010.
Show-notes:
4:49 It’s called rack focus.
9:55 More brain stuff from a brain blog that hasn’t been updated in 6 months.
13:07 Children of the Stones. Weird that we’d bring up this series that features a time loop in this episode cause we talk about whether time (and stories) are circular later on.
13:10 Follow Ernest Malley.
1:09:07 According to the wiki he’s only done Song for Ten and the extended version of Song for Ten.

Coming right up on the end of good old Mr. Tennant’s run here. And Russell T.’s run as well, but the more important thing is Mr. Tennant. He’s had a good run but you know, three seasons is about the max here in the reboot era. It’s The Waters of Mars, written by Russell T. Davies and Phil Ford and aired on November 15, 2009.
Show-notes:
3:48 Never saw this music video before. It’s literally just him standing in a blank white area.
3:54 The rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.
4:59 Yuri Gagarin.
13:53 None of this is actually true, at least according to Steve Burns’ Wikipedia page.

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 53 minutes and 43 secondsHow about that for a title? Too bad none of us speak Tritovore.
It’s Easter! Not really actually but like, it’s close enough. It’s a couple months late. Just pretend it’s Easter, I mean Easter doesn’t have a set date so we can just put it wherever we want. It’s Planet of the Dead, written by Russell T. Davies and Gareth Roberts, and aired on April 11, 2009.
Show-notes:
1:39 Ben Stiller.

Episode 206: Sea of Leeches
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 56 minutes and 49 secondsThis is the uncrossable leech sea.
This is it. We finally made it to the very first episode that Dylan watched of Doctor Who. Well before this podcast was even a glimmer in either of their eyes, there was The Next Doctor. It was written by Russell T. Davies and aired on December 25, 2008.
Show-notes:
10:09 Labyrinth is a Jim Henson movie starring David Bowie.
16:56 I guess nobody really knows how long the London area has been inhabited, but it’s definitely thousands of years.
20:12 Thomas Paine’s most famous revolutionary pamphlets are Common Sense and American Crisis.
28:15 It’s called a belt.
36:14 Simulacra and Simulation is a book by Baudrillard.

Episode 205: Break Glass to Win
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 26 minutes and 2 secondsThat’s all there is to it. Break glass and win.
This is the end of the Russell T. era. Sort of. Almost. Kind of. Just kidding. There’s still like 4 more weeks for us to go, but it’s basically over. Russell T. has basically thrown in the towel, given us the best season finale of the reboot (so far) and now is going to coast and rest on his laurels until he can basically throw the reigns off onto Stephen Moffat.
Show-notes:
1:30 Sorry for linking to Know Your Meme.
1:57 Ocean’s 8 is the sequel to Magnificent 7.
5:56 Richard Dawkins is an evolutionary biologist and writer, but I’m pretty sure he’s mostly famous for being a douchebag to anyone who believes in religion.
10:10 Sarah Jane also encountered the Daleks in Death to the Daleks.
19:14 Here’s the Blake’s 7 forum I was talking about.

Episode 204: Bad Bad Wolf Wolf
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 44 minutes and 4 secondsAnytime now. We’ll let Rose go. Any day. Just. Right there.
We used to have a grasshopper in our recording studio but we’ve recorded so many different places now that I don’t think the grasshopper has shown up many times in the past year. I was going to make a joke about recording this podcast with grasshoppers on our back but it wouldn’t really make sense if the grasshoppers can’t be heard. It’s Turn Left, written by Russell T. Davies and aired on June 21, 2008.
Show-notes:
8:20 It was Myanmar
18:23 Here’s the entire story. I bet that guy’s still wondering how that shrimp fried rice would’ve tasted.
22:22 I guess I was way off cause London is actually the 13th most populated capital.
25:28 British succession is way too complicated to explain in a sentence or two, so read about it on Wikipedia if you’re curious.

Episode 203: Electric K. Ant
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 45 minutes and 21 secondsSo, Mr. Ant, what qualifies you for this position?
This is one of the best Doctor Who stories of all time according to Dylan, and a very good one according to Kiyan, and basically all of fandom really. Most people like this, so if you don’t you’re obviously wrong. Just flat out wrong, that’s the nature of the game unfortunately.
Show-notes:
3:02 Sapphires are actually a type of corundum and is slightly softer than diamond.
5:26 I completely forgot Independence Day: Resurgence existed. Pretty sure most of the world has forgotten about it too.
6:11 Rio is about some bird or something.
8:22 Turns out a klick is just a kilometer.
11:15 Goblin Market by Christina Rossetti.
15:14 Hereditary might actually be scary.
16:09 Check out Zenith, our Blake’s 7 podcast.
16:12 Vaster than Empires and More Slow and The Word for World is Forest are 2 stories by Ursula K. Le Guin.

Episode 202: Books Suck
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 16 minutes and 45 secondsUnlike books, however, River is actually useful.
Every once in a while we deserve to take a digression, I think. A nice little trip down the yellow brick road so to speak. Of course, it just so happens that this digression is all of the episode, but you know, whatever! It’s Silence in the Library & Forest of the Dead, written by Steven Moffat and aired on May 31 and June 7, 2008.
Show-notes:
12:36 David Bowie had liver cancer.
32:51 St. Elsewhere is a medical tv series.

Episode 201: The Wasp in the Study with the Lead Pipe
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 50 minutes and 35 secondsLook out! A Wasp!
At the end of this recording session, around 1 in the morning, after recording Zenith, we both walked to our cars. We looked at each other, dead inside, dead on the outside. Just dead all around. “Never again.” It’s The Unicorn and the Wasp, written by Gareth Roberts and aired on May 17, 2008.
Show-notes:
2:36 Cluedo is the original name. According to Wikipedia, it’s a play on the words “clue” and “ludo” which means “I play” in Latin. It was changed to Clue in North America because over here the traditional game of Ludo is known as Parcheesi, so most people wouldn’t get the reference.
4:30 Unicron.

Episode 194: Some Semblance of a Budget
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 40 minutes and 56 secondsWe’ve come far since the days of styrofoam avalanches … but not that far.
This is the longest episode we’ve put out in a long time. It’s over an hour and a half long, and somehow it’s actually sort of interesting for the entire episode, which is really saying something. Remember our War Games episode? Good times. It’s Utopia, The Sound of Drums, and Last of the Time Lords, written by Russell T. Davies and aired on June 16, 23 and 30th, 2007.

(One and Done) Episode 1: Don't Listen to This
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 20 minutes and 11 secondsThis is not a joke, we’re done with Doctor Who.
Let the past die, kill it if you have to. And we did. Trust Your Doctor is dead. I’m sorry if you liked the show, but it’s done now. We’re going to replace it with a podcast that has much less overhead, it takes less time to make, and edit, and is just generally easier. Sorry. This week we review Trust Your Doctor Episode 1, which released on January 24, 2014.
Show-notes:
0:20 Trust Your Doctor is dead. Long live One and Done.
1:01 Zenith is still going though.
1:32 RIP in pieces 42 to Doomsday.

6:50 Here’s The Great Titanic Conspiracy on Amazon if you want to get it for some reason.
