Classic Rewatch: The Pirate Planet
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 40 minutes and 3 secondsRiding air cars across a hollowed-out planet with a monumental secret, we find that despite being named by Douglas Adams, the place isn't called Magrathea. (Shame.)
-
They Say It’s Your Sesquarcentennial
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 18 minutes and 12 secondsWith glasses in hand, and a rule set developed by you wonderful listeners, we celebrate our 350th episode with a live commentary of "The Woman Who Fell to Earth"...and obligatory shenanigans.
-
And Now a Word From Our Sponsors
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 27 minutes and 7 secondsIn most instances, we love skipping over, blocking, or otherwise avoiding advertisements...but would that change if the product being promoted -- or personality doing the endorsement -- was more Whovian?
-
Torchwood Rewatch: Countrycide (S1E6)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 35 minutes and 31 secondsWhen the Torchwood team heads to the country, the storytelling takes a notably dark and distressing turn. Oddly enough, we're all really happy to see it happen.
-
Classic Rewatch: The Ribos Operation
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 44 minutes and 14 secondsWith rocks in our pockets, and a fool-proof plan to slip out undetected, we set down to enjoy the arrival of Romanadvoratrelundar in the Season 16 opening story.
-
Where Have I Heard That Before?
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 19 minutes and 39 secondsWith Keir out of town on official (cough cough -- DragonCon -- cough cough) business, Jay and Haley set out to prove that they're perfectly capable of playing a Whovian trivia game. This time, instead of naming the character who uttered a particular quotable line, they try and identify the specific episode it came from.
-
Torchwood Rewatch: Small Worlds (S1E5)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 30 minutes and 44 secondsThe Torchwood team squares off against a dark and dangerous interpretation of the faerie folk. But does anything actually change as a result of the confrontation?
-
Classic Rewatch: The Invasion of Time
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 43 minutes and 24 secondsPitting our heroes against not one but two formidable adversaries, we look at the six-part coup d'êtat story that ends not only the 15th classic season, but a very important relationship as well. We discuss the unexpected nature of this "Agnew"-penned season closer, the ever-changing nature of the conflict that helps maintain interest through a six-part story, and the unusual performances of Baker and Jameson, given the timing of the production.
-
The Thingamajig of the Daleks
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 43 minutes and 21 secondsPower, Genesis, Asylum, Master Plan, Invasion...five decades of Dalek mayhem launches a lot of schemes for ultimate domination. What if we took a random term like "the marriage of", and extracted a Dalek plot from it?
-
Torchwood Rewatch: Cyberwoman (S1E4)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 33 minutes and 7 secondsWe test the limits of our "find the good in everything" zeitgeist as we press on through the fourth episode of Torchwood's first season. It's...a thing that aired.
-
Classic Rewatch: Underworld
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 41 minutes and 12 secondsWith a slow and steady float down a tunnel of diminishing quality, we reach the core of the penultimate Season 15 story, "Underworld".
-
Planning the Series 11 Drinking Game
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 43 minutes and 33 secondsThis week, we workshop the rules, rewards, and risks with developing a watch-along drinking game for any S11 episode. (This is what happens when we're left without new content for too long.)
-
Torchwood Rewatch: Ghost Machine (S1E3)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 49 minutes and 53 secondsThe third episode of the first Torchwood season appears to be a bit of "viewer's ret-con" for most of us, as we can't really recall any details having seen the story in years past...though we know we did.
-
Classic Rewatch: The Sun Makers
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 39 minutes and 30 secondsWe all conclude that this Season 15 satire by story editor Robert Holmes is one of the gems of the Fourth Doctor era, as humorous as it is scathing.
-
Family Who-ed, 2019 Edition
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 50 minutes and 41 secondsWe return to one of our favorite past Whovian games, with the gracious responses by 100 of you to a series of questions about our favorite program. Some were trivia, some were opinion, all were worthwhile, and none were properly prepared for by our contestants, Haley and Jay.
-
Torchwood Rewatch: Day One (S1E2)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 53 minutes and 57 secondsChris Chibnall gives us a rather -- interesting -- sci-fi premise for the second outing of our Torchwood team. There's a lot to enjoy, a lot to question, and even a bit of foreshadowing to seasons to come in this next episode installment.
-
Classic Rewatch: Image of the Fendahl
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 44 minutes and 34 secondsWith all the best intentions (and the glowing skull of Eustace) we set out to fully enjoy this horror story from Series 15...but there are a few bumps along the way. Performances are enjoyable from both Baker and Jameson, and the supporting cast does a great job of punching up their roles to suit the story's brooding horror. The script from Chris Boucher gives us a buffet-table of entertainment options to pick at. But is the meal satisfying once the dishes are cleared?
-
Just Put a TARDIS On It
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 17 minutes and 27 secondsOn a quiet Whovian news week, we test our memory of dialogue, trying to remember which character uttered a particular statement from the modern episodes. From phrases that could easily be a number of Doctor's regenerations, to companions that seem to make very similar observations, Keir puts on his ill-fitting gamekeeper's hat, and puts Jay and Haley to the test.
-
Torchwood Rewatch: Everything Changes (S1E1)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 45 minutes and 33 secondsSink with us into the pavement in Cardiff Bay as we begin a full rewatch of the Torchwood spin-off series from 2006.
-
Classic Rewatch: The Invisible Enemy
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 9 minutes and 2 secondsWe didn't have particular concerns about jumbo shrimp until this Season 15 story came around. Now we feel a bit 'nerve-ous' around them. (Get it? Brain? Nerve? *sigh*)
-
Whose Line WAS It, Anyway? (Revisited)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 29 minutes and 36 secondsOn a quiet Whovian news week, we test our memory of dialogue, trying to remember which character uttered a particular statement from the modern episodes. From phrases that could easily be a number of Doctor's regenerations, to companions that seem to make very similar observations, Keir puts on his ill-fitting gamekeeper's hat, and puts Jay and Haley to the test.
-
Classic Rewatch: Horror of Fang Rock
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 40 minutes and 7 secondsJeremy Radick joins us again a the top of Season 15 for a nice, leisurely tour of a lighthouse on a perfectly serene evening. Everything is just fine. Nothing unusual or alarming.
-
They Deserve More Time
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 34 minutes and 28 secondsWe task ourselves this week with identifying just a few of the briefly-met characters who we wish had another opportunity, large or small, to return to the program. It could be a passing cameo, a where-are-they-now glimpse into their lives after having met and interacted with the Doctor, or even a full episode adventure with them past, present, or future.
-
Classic Rewatch: The Talons of Weng-Chiang
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 35 minutes and 32 secondsWith an attempt to acknowledge the quality of the storyline while remaining keenly aware of the careless, and inarguably racist execution, we delve into the six-part conclusion to Season 14 and all the issues it brings to light.
-
Rotten Potatoes
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 42 minutes and 23 secondsIf broadcasts of Earth films ever get picked up by Sontaran fleets, this may be their reviews of what we consider "classics". We really don't expect them to be appreciated. We do, however, have a pretty entertaining time trying to figure out exactly what movie our noble knobby-headed warrior is ranting about.
-
Classic Rewatch: The Robots of Death
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 41 minutes and 24 secondsWith a fistful of sticky bike reflectors, we head into the Fourth Doctor and Leela's second adventure, an Agatha Christie-meets-Isaac Asimov murder mystery with Leninist overtones. (Oh, and sand!).
-
The Blank of Rassilon
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 43 minutes and 50 secondsWith a random noun generator at our fingertips, and just the right amount of competitive motivation to spur the creative mind, we attempt a game that takes seemingly innocuous objects, and bestows them with supreme Time Lord powers...of some sort. The usefulness of that power is entirely subjective.
-
Classic Rewatch: The Face of Evil
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 50 minutes and 36 secondsPoisoned thorn gripped tightly in hand, and memory failing us ever so slightly, we lunge toward Xoanan in search of missing female character representation.
-
Live from Gallifrey One: 30 Years in the TARDIS
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 19 minutes and 32 secondsAfter three (plus) days of panels, games, music, laughs, drinks, and reconnections with a massive Whovian family, we look at everything that the 30th anniversary of Gallifrey One has given us.
-
Packing for Gallifrey One 30
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 35 minutes and 17 secondsShort and sweet this week, we run down the things we're looking forward to (and getting involved in) at the upcoming GallifreyOne convention in Los Angeles.
-
Classic Rewatch: The Deadly Assassin
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 42 minutes and 38 secondsBack to Gallifrey without a companion, we watch the Fourth Doctor deal with his Time Lord kin in ways he couldn't have anticipated...even if he *is* Prydonian. We all lament the complete lack of a single female actor in the story, but resoundingly appreciate the invaluable additions to a fuller understanding of Time Lord culture. (Or at least bureaucracy.)
-
Whoperlatives
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 40 minutes and 37 secondsTrying out a new little game-activity, we go the old school yearbook route, and pick the "the best at", "the worst of", "the most likely to do (such-and-such)". Is it juvenile and ridiculous? Of course it is. Do you expect anything better from us? Yikes, we should hope not.
-
Classic Rewatch: The Hand of Fear
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 58 minutes and 25 secondsWith a wistful goodbye to a beloved companion, but a resounding approval for the story itself, we bask in the radiation to reconstitute a crystalline gem of a Fourth Doctor story.
-
Time Lord Down Time
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 48 minutes and 34 secondsFacing at least a calendar year without new televised Doctor Who, we look to the many other ways we and all Whovians can "get our Gallifreyan fix" in most entertaining ways.
-
Classic Rewatch: Masque of Mandragora
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 46 minutes and 57 secondsGazing into Season 14 like so many 15th century telescopes, we step back to a Baker and Sladen historical piece with a talented, if singularly gendered, supporting cast.
-
Resolution
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 5 minutes and 16 secondsThis week, we enjoy a boisterous, loud, daresay explosive hour-long adventure as our first and last piece of new televised Doctor Who content of the year. An all-too-familiar opponent makes a new appearance from a rather old point of origin, which leads to one of the Thirteenth Doctor's best verbal exchanges of the season.
-
Series 11 in Review
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 59 minutes and 44 secondsAfter rewatching and processing the ten installments of Series 11, we look at the season in total, and the impression it leaves on us in retrospect. We assess the series as a storytelling set, identify our highs and lows, and comment on the performances of cast, crew, production teams, and showrunner.
-
The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 49 minutes and 0 seconds"I know that voice..." This week, Series 11 -- and the year 2018 -- closes with a bit of an off-planet chess match in "The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos".
-
It Takes You Away
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 18 minutes and 46 secondsAfter checking that all the mirrors in the studio do in fact have us looking back in them, we settle in for a discussion of the penultimate episode of Season 11. Continue reading -
-
The Witchfinders
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 36 minutes and 17 secondsThis week, we get another invaluable history lesson from Team TARDIS in the eighth installment of Series 11, "The Witchfinders". Continue reading -
-
Kerblam!
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 52 minutes and 8 secondsJust in time to properly worry about Cyber Monday, Series 11 gives us "Kerblam!" a statement about the worries over technological advancement and automation, as well as the dangers of (all too human) fanatical extremism. Continue reading -
-
Demons of the Punjab
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 51 minutes and 39 secondsAsking Chris Chibnall to step away from the pen this week, we are given Vinay Patel's fascinating depiction of the 1947 Partition of India, in "Demons of the Punjab". Continue reading -
-
The Tsuranga Conundrum
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 57 minutes and 55 secondsThis week, we tie on our bibs and tuck in to a heaping coil of antimatter with "The Tsuranga Conundrum", marking the midpoint in Series 11. We're all in agreement that this is stock-in-trade, dare we say "classic" Doctor Who, involving a complex set of interwoven challenges, limited time, interesting but not distracting supporting characters, and a blend of scientific wonder and oddball humor from our Doctor. Continue reading -
-
Arachnids in the UK
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 0 minutes and 59 secondsThis week, we peek over the top of the couch (or possibly the hotel tub?) to see what the reactions are to a spider the size of a van in the fourth episode of Series 11. Continue reading -
-
Rosa
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 11 minutes and 30 secondsSmall decisions can change the course of history. With equal parts concern and anticipation, we sat down to watch Doctor Who this past weekend, and see what would happen when Rosa Parks was depicted in a British science fiction television series. Continue reading -
-
The Ghost Monument
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 16 minutes and 56 secondsWith sand in our shoes, and a swank pair of sunglasses on our faces, we tumble across the viewing landscape in pursuit of the second episode of Series 11, "The Ghost Monument". Continue reading -
-
The Woman Who Fell to Earth
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 31 minutes and 15 secondsThis week, we finally drop from our levitation points above the couch to hug each other with adrenaline-fueled delight at the first full adventure of the Thirteenth Doctor and her friends in "The Woman Who Fell to Earth". Continue reading -
-
Dear Doctor; Dear Viewer
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 37 minutes and 24 secondsWith only days to go before Doctor Who returns, we pause in the eye of the storm, and speak our hearts directly to two most important recipients: to Jodie Whittaker herself; and to the viewer who will be finding the program for the first time this season. Continue reading -
-
Classic Rewatch: The Seeds of Doom
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 56 minutes and 52 secondsStrapping on our weed-killer backpacks, and exercising absolutely ZERO patience for thug henchmen, we plunge into the undergrowth of "The Seeds of Doom", the closing story of Season 13. Continue reading -
-
And In This Corner...
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 0 minutes and 48 secondsThis week, we process the statements by Chibnall and the BBC Worldwide informing us that Series 11 will have an entirely new roster of villains and dangers to be faced, and that the time-tested ranks of Daleks, Cybermen, Missy and the like will not be seen for some time. Continue reading -
