286: Too Good to Exist (Kerblam)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 49 minutes and 38 secondsThe greatest “thing” that’s ever been in Doctor Who.
I sit here editing this episode on my Amazon laptop, with my Amazon Ergonomic Chair listening on my Amazon Buds. My Amazon branded air freshener releases a new scent to improve my workflow. I take a sip of Amazon approved water, delivered in an Amazon plastic bottle. I smile, for Amazon will look after me. It’s Kerblam, written by Pete McTighe and aired on November 18, 2018.

285: Yes, But Actually No (Demons of the Punjab)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 58 minutes and 38 secondsI feel really bad about not knowing anything about partition, but watching this episode for the second time has actually prompted me to look into it more. It seems to have served the Doctor Who purpose of introducing an audience to an entirely new topic that they had no idea about. Does that make it the most successful Doctor Who episode of all time? Stay tuned to find out. It’s Demons of the Punjab, written by Vinay Patel and aired on November 11, 2018.
Show-notes:
2:12: The Hugo awards are chosen by the World Science Fiction Society. The Nebulas on the other hand are chosen by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. Wikipedia’s joint winners of the Hugo and Nebula awards. Also the book I was talking about was The Dream-Quest of Vellitt Boe, which won the World Fantasy Award for long fiction and was nominated by the Hugos, Nebulas, and Locus awards.
14:49: Behold the majesty of ThrustSSC.
24:44: It was probably the Battle of Singapore, part of World War 2.
28:52: Seeds of Death had Jamie and Zoe in it.

284: Surfing the Skies of New York (The Tsuranga Conundrum)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 52 minutes and 52 secondsWe call it sky surfing here.
When I heard the name of this episode I kind of imagined it as an almost Kobayashi Maru situation. You know in Star Trek, it’s the no win situation that Kirk cheats at to win, and that cheating is the reason he gets given the captain’s chair because they really like his initiative in… cheating… I guess? But then it turned out to not be that at all. It’s The Tsuranga Conundrum, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on November 4, 2018.

13:28: I did a little googling and I’m pretty sure this is wrong. I think you’d only die by eating and/or licking poison dart frogs, not just touching them. None of the sources I found mentioned that just touching them would kill you.
15:11: Side-by-side comparison of the unreleased cut of Lilo & Stitch featuring more realistic aircraft and cityscapes and the theatrical version.

283: The Twitspace (Arachnids in the UK)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 51 minutes and 50 secondsAll of America is the twitspace.
I just realized how weird it is that the villain in a UK story is an American. There’s probably more to that now that I think about it, something about how America gained its independence and now the UK hates them or something. It’s Arachnids in the UK, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on October 28, 2018.
Show-notes:
2:12: Article about George Lucas’ original ideas for the sequel trilogy.
3:56: Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast
10:50: Obviously I was just joking here, but a quick skim of the Tardis wiki reminded me that the Master’s plan in Time-Flight was something along the lines of using the Tardis’ energy to break out of some alternate dimension. Also here’s (one version of) that meme with Gru from Despicable Me.
13:46: Yeah I still have no idea what this was supposed to be or what it is. According to the Doctor Who wiki, he said pakora, but that’s not what it sounded like at all.
24:05: Before the Law by Kafka
25:54: Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast

282: It’s Just Ozzies ft. Argy (Rosa)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 53 minutes and 39 secondsOzzie Osborne that is.
This week we’re joined by Argy yet again to travel back in time to Montgomery. To be fair absolutely none of us have been to Montgomery before, so it’s a bit of a new experience for all of us. I’ll be honest I think I can say with some mild certainty that most of our audience hasn’t been to Montgomery either. So it’s new for you too. It’s Rosa, written by Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall and aired on October 21, 2018.

Children of the Stones 2 – Circle of Fear
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 21 minutes and 39 secondsWhy do I have this weird feeling that there’s an episode of Doctor Who with this name?
This might be one of the shortest “actual” episodes we’ve ever released. Obviously our introductory episodes are always shorted than this, but this covers an actual topic! A whole full 25 minute episode that we condensed into a whole 21 minute podcast episode. Amazing that’s a whole 4 minutes we saved you. It’s Circle of Fear, written by Jeremy Burnham and Trevor Ray and aired on January 17, 1977.

281: End Doctor Who Once and for All (The Ghost Monument)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 48 minutes and 22 secondsDoctor Who must not go on.
When I saw the title for this episode the first time I was convinced it was some sort of monument to Casper the friendly ghost. Like it was going to be something super cool about this cartoon character. In hindsight I’m starting to think that would be the weirdest crossover in existence, but I kind of want to see if they could make it work. It’s The Ghost Monument, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on October 14, 2018.

23:53: Wikipedia (the source of all my knowledge) doesn’t seem to say anything about being able to overcome dyspraxic setbacks mentally.

280: I’ve Made my Final Judgement (The Woman Who Fell to Earth)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 55 minutes and 7 secondsWe all regenerate into women this week.
Just kidding, Trust Your Doctor is still a sausage fest. Sort of. It’s kind of sobering to realize just how many male Doctor Who podcasts there are, and then compare that to the number that have, say, at least one female host. It’s The Woman Who Fell to Earth, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on October 7, 2018.

The Twelfth Doctor Retrospective
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 52 minutes and 35 secondsThis is the end of everything.
It’s kind of bittersweet saying goodbye to so many things that have kind of become staples so to speak of the show for us. Stephen Moffat, Murray Gold, Mark Gatiss, Peter Capaldi. All of them are leaving for us now. This almost feels like it might be one of the biggest changes in the show that we’ve ever experienced. This week we read Terrorformer and The Swords of Kali, published in October 2014 through February 2015.
Show-notes:
5:19: Check out our Blake’s 7 podcast Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast.
15:35: The Enigma of Amigara Fault. Also check out our classic sci-fi podcast Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast. It desperately needs the listeners.
25:42: The Massacre only had 4 episodes thankfully.

279: We Want People to Cry on Christmas (Twice Upon a Time)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 58 minutes and 26 secondsPersonally, I make it a rule to cry on every day EXCEPT Christmas.
Did you ever watch that Disney movie? Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas? Well fun fact they actually made a sequel, called Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas. And every time I watch this episode I think of that movie because the names are so suspiciously similar. I mean, have you ever seen anything else in any media that uses the word “twice” at all? It’s Twice Upon a Time, written by Stephen Moffat and aired on December 25, 2017.

278: Selfcest ft. Argy (World Enough and Time & The Doctor Falls)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 36 minutes and 43 seconds
Don’t knock it till you try it.I read a pretty good poem recently, but it wasn’t in any way related to this episode. I just thought it was a good poem. It was called “Go to the Limits of Your Longing.” Rilke wrote it. I highly recommend it. It’s World Enough and Time & The Doctor Falls, written by Stephen Moffat and aired on June 24 and July 1, 2017.
Show-notes:
10:59: If you don’t know what Xena: Warrior Princess is, this is what it is.
11:47: To His Coy Mistress
16:19: Here’s the actual 12th Doctor intro and here’s the fanmade intro (created by Billy Hanshaw) that it was based on. I like Hanshaw’s version better.
28:15: Here’s a pretty good article about the whole “Doctor Who” vs. “The Doctor” debate.
52:26: Metallica’s “One” music video
1:10:14: Check out Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast (in which we discuss Star Cops). And while you’re at it, check out Zenith: A Blake’s 7 podcast and Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast.
1:15:45: Here’s an example of Michelle Gomez’s stand up.

277: I Dream of Drashigs (The Eaters of Light)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 39 minutes and 0 secondsEven closing my eyes is no escape from the horror that is the drashigs.
If I could subsist on light, I totally would if I’m being honest. I mean, now that I think about it, that’s kind of what plants do right? They eat light and then they turn it into food and survive. So does that mean the main enemy of this story is a plant? Food for thought. It’s The Eaters of Light written by Rona Munro and aired on June 17, 2017.
Show-notes:
2:31: This article from over 10 years ago explains how to dial straight to voicemail using something called “Slydial.” I obviously didn’t try it to see if it still works, but feel free to do so yourself.

276: It’s Me Mickey Mouse! (Empress of Mars)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 50 minutes and 38 secondsSince Disney owns nearly everything I can’t imagine this crossover is far behind.
Given how many times Mars has appeared on the show it should be pretty easy to assemble some sort of timeline of the Martian Empire right? Also, wasn’t that killer water that killed everything it ever touched in the polar ice caps? The one we learned about in Waters of Mars? Shouldn’t the gang be violently ill and trying to consume each other during almost the entirety of this episode? It’s Empress of Mars, written by Mark Gatiss and aired on June 10, 2017.
Show-notes:
4:22: Scratchman was “co-written” by James Goss. And by co-written I mean it was probably mostly written by him.
4:36: “With exclusive commentary ‘He Did It’ by the Goldman Family”
21:30: Pretty sure it was Zulu Dawn. And here’s a short description of the Great Emu War from Australian Geographic.
25:03: Here’s a pretty good (but poorly formatted) list of periods in British history.
33:28: John Cena’s theme

275: Blink 2017 Edition (Extemis, The Pyramid at the End of the World & The Lie of the Land)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 24 minutes and 50 secondsAs opposed to Blink 2019 edition.
It’s surprising to me that an episode so clearly about propaganda actually didn’t cause much of a splash at all when it landed. Kind of seems like everyone shrugged and looked right past it, even though it explicitly mentions a few people that this episode is clearly sending up. Weird. It’s Extremis, The Pyramid at the End of the World and The Lie of the Land written by Steven Moffat, Peter Harness, and Toby Whithouse and aired on May 20 and 27 and June 3, 2017.
Show-notes:
3:32: The comic is called The World Shapers.
6:19: In case you don’t remember this prehistoric meme
39:45: Lol just looked it up, Nebraska doesn’t even border Texas.
45:21: This was the exact Gandhi quote according to Goodreads. Here’s more stuff Gandhi apparently wrote about fear and love too. And here are some articles that could potentially shed some light on the controversy surrounding Gandhi.

274: Are We Not All Just Fleshy Meatbags? (Oxygen)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 47 minutes and 37 secondsThis sounds like a shitty Rocky spinoff.
Sometimes, when I can’t breathe, I wonder what it would be like if I had to pay for my next breath. Like, if I was dying right now would I be willing to fork over the money required to keep on living? It’s a really interesting thing to think about, but also kind of horrifying. Is your life worth that much? It’s Oxygen, written by Jamie Mathieson and aired on May 13, 2017.
Show-notes:
0:30: The “Damn Daniel” meme came out about 3 and a half years ago, possible a little more. Because Internet is a new book from Gretchen McuCulloch, one of the hosts of the Lingthusiasm podcast.
3:30: It was The Pursuit of Happyness, but as usual I got what it was about wrong.
7:06: Check out Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast, a new podcast we started to discuss classic sci-fi.
9:32: It was Clive.
22:36: Check out Zenith, our Blake’s 7 podcast.

273: Only Kids Love Bugs (Knock Knock)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 51 minutes and 41 secondsSorry entomologists, I really hate to break this to you.
I always thought it was going to be four knocks, you know? Like, knock knock knock knock. At least that’s what that weird fortune teller told us it was going to be. But I guess the Twelfth Doctor only requires half as many knocks. I wonder what that says about him. It’s Knock Knock, written by Mike Bartlett and aired on May 6, 2017.
Show-notes:
3:35 I think this is the album version of Song for Ten. This is the tv version for comparison. Also I can’t believe the Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon was also officially released.
4:33 Reach across the stars with our new science fiction podcast Inevitable. We’re watching Star Cops for season 1.
5:25 Palm Jumeirah is a series of artificial islands made to look like palm trees.
10:24 For our first watch of Troll 2, check out our Triple Play episode on the Troll “series”

Inevitable: Episode 0
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 5 minutes and 39 secondsThis week we have something new for you.
This is Episode 0 of our new podcast, Inevitable. Because, as we all know, we’re basically suckers for attention and so as soon as someone mentioned we should watch even more sci-fi everyone has to have known that this would be inevitable. Inevitable will be available on your favourite podcasting platform on October 18, 2019!

272: Glowing Cool Whip (Thin Ice)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 44 minutes and 32 secondsMight be from the radioactive cool whip factory.
Did you ever notice how it’s always “thin ice” but never “thick ice.” You can never have thick ice, I guess, which is weird since most ice like glaciers are pretty thick. But then again I guess it depends if you measure thick or thin vertically or horizontally. It’s Thin Ice, written by Sarah Dollard and aired on April 29, 2017.

271: Watching the Star Wars Holiday Special Every Day (Smile)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 47 minutes and 25 secondsI can think of worse ways to spend my time.
I just watched that Joker movie and now every time I see the word Smile I think of that song that tells you to Smile all the time. You know, Smile if you want to, Smile around the world, the B-52s one. I’m pretty sure that’s called Smile too. Wait no hang on that might be Roam. It’s Smile, written by Frank Cottrell Boyce and aired on April 22, 2017.
Show-notes:
1:16 The wikipedia page for the City of Arts and Sciences has some pretty good pictures of the real thing.
23:31 Apparently soylent green is a cookie/wafer thing. Also the movie takes place in a dystopian future where it’s like the best or only food source for a bunch of people.
29:09 Here’s an example of speed reading words in the same place on the screen.
40:08 The 100 is a fairly new post-apocalyptic tv series.

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 44 minutes and 16 secondsOh right, the Super La Brea Tar Cops. Of course, how could I miss that?
When I was a kid one of the professions I really wanted to be was a pilot. At first it was a doctor, but then I really wanted to be a pilot. Wait, a Doctor, a Pilot, my life growing up was basically wanting to be in Doctor Who. Chris, Chibnall, call me dude I have no agent and I work for exposure. It’s The Pilot, written by Steven Moffat and aired on April 15, 2017.

268: Underworld is the Citizen Kane of Doctor Who (The Return of Doctor Mysterio)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 50 minutes and 24 secondsTruly, the greatest Doctor Who story of all time.
There’s been a lot of Christmas on the mind recently. There’s even a Christmas scene in The Pilot, so that’s like three weeks worth of Christmas for us, which is quite overwhelming if we’re completely honest. But hey, at least no more for another three months. It’s The Return of Doctor Mysterio, written by Steven Moffat and aired on December 25, 2016.

Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 16 minutes and 21 secondsHave you seen Johnny though? He looks like he’s always in Wonderland.
I’ll be honest, I probably won’t even have one husband in my life. So to hear that River has like, 3 at least, and really 15 if you count all 13 incarnations of the Doctor as different people is really impressive to me. I wonder if they all get along with each other. Pretty sure at least two incarnations of the Doctor don’t. It’s The Husbands of River Song, written by Steven Moffat and aired on December 25, 2015.

266: Even More Proof That We Created Doctor Who (Face the Raven)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 44 minutes and 9 secondsAs opposed to a map show from literally any other country on Earth.
Recently I’ve actually become a bit attached to the crows in my neighborhood. I’ll be moving soon and I’m actually a little sad you know? The crows here just have such friendly personalities I’m going to really miss them. On the flip side, I’ve never actually met a raven, so if you’ve got one you want to share you know where I am. Actually no you don’t, but the point stands. It’s Face the Raven, written by Sarah Dollard and aired on November 21, 2015.

265: I Feel a New Fan Fiction Coming On (Sleep No More)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 5 minutes and 46 secondsComing soon to Trust Your Doctor?
I purchased my Morpheus system from 3P Enterprises, and it was delivered in quick time. This is the only good thing I can say about the system. Within one month of purchase I’ve started to hear the Morpheus song, even when I’m in my personal sensory deprivation tank. Two months in and I’ve started to notice monsters in the corner of my eyes. My hands are starting to look and more like lobster claws. My significant other has turned into an orchid. 0/10 would not recommend for skipping sleep, although 10/10 replacement for hallucinogenics. It’s Sleep No More, written by Mark Gatiss and aired on November 14, 2015.
Show-notes:
12:12 The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe.
12:40 I can’t believe you’ve done this.
13:00 Jeremiah Denton’s pow video again.
16:48 If you’ve read through My Immortal multiple times like me and want something new in the bad fanfiction genre then check out Sonic High School. It’s actually funnier than My Immortal. There’s also an expanded universe of sequels written by DarkDoomFireMaster himself.
19:05 Check out Zenith, our Blake’s 7 podcast.
24:56 Vin Diesel played Adrian Caparzo in Saving Private Ryan.
30:04 It was John Henry.
42:07 It was As Above, So Below. I’ve never watched this but it might be good.

264: Perpetuating Society (The Zygon Invasion & The Zygon Inversion)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 15 minutes and 11 secondsSociety needs to end.
Ok let’s take a moment to consider how weird it would be to have a Zygon procreate with a human. Does that create some sort of Zygon-human hybrid? And if they are can they shape shift, do they still have that ability? Or maybe they can’t but if they can’t then what differentiates them from regular humans? This is hurting my head. It’s The Zygon Invasion & The Zygon Inversion, written by Peter Harness & Steven Moffat and aired on October 31 and November 7, 2015.
Show-notes:
1:30 The Costa Concordia disaster happened in 2012.
16:15 More detailed history of how Truth or Consequences got named Truth or Consequences.
34:00 Video of Jeremiah Denton blinking morse code. He’s not subtle about it at all.
1:00:50 I can’t believe you’ve done this.

263: Rube Goldberg Machine of Disaster (The Girl Who Died & The Woman Who Lived)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 11 minutes and 9 secondsI’m pretty sure we’ve had a really similar title to this before.
I remember when this episode title was announced a lot of people were convinced that Amy was going to be in this. Because the title bore some superficial resemblance to the Girl Who Waited. Looking at it now that’s kind of a completely baffling assumption, but you know I see where it comes from. It’s The Girl Who Died & The Woman Who Lived, written by Jamie Mathieson, Steven Moffat and Catherine Tregenna and aired on October 17 and 24, 2015.
Show-notes:
2:47 Largest church in the world.
12:15 Our Blake’s 7 podcast is actually called Zenith. I wish we called it just “Blake’s 7.”
25:52 It might be jormungandr.
46:44 Check out Triple Play, our movie trilogy podcast.
49:45 Tell me the new Cats trailer isn’t terrifying.
1:01:01 My Immortal is still going strong 15 years later. (doc includes the full original story and expanded reading material)

262: Your Mind on Memes (Under the Lake & Before the Flood)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 13 minutes and 8 secondsI need one of those pictures that shows the faces of people on different drugs with one for memes.
I’m disconcerted by the pace at which we’re speeding through this season, if I’m being honest. It feels like my life is wizzing past my eyes as I die. It reminds me a lot of season 7, which we did in 4 weeks even though the season itself would have aired over something like 12. Or probably, more, if I’m being honestly I’m not actually sure how long it would have take because I can’t remember if they were airing two episodes a week or one at that point in the show’s history. It’s Under the Lake & Before the Flood, written by Toby Whithouse and aired on October 3 and 10, 2015.
Show-notes:
4:40 Brendan from Flight Through Entirety gives his bottom 5 Doctor Who stories in this video.
6:23 The Rescue
14:30 Mark Gatiss wrote Night Terrors.
26:29 I googled bootstrap paradox for you.
33:03 You have 5 seconds to explain why you’re not following Ringo Starr on twitter.
35:15 Foie gras is a food made from force feeding geese or ducks. Balut is an almost-hatched egg eaten whole in the shell.
36:19 The Fisher King is from Arthurian legends.
46:05 Derrida’s scene from Ghost Dance
53:39 Karena (Rigsy’s aunt in Flatline) was actually a deaf character just last season.
58:00 Limited Inc by Derrida. From what I can tell, these are his ideas, not quotes or paraphrases from someone else. Also I was reading this from some notes I took when I read the book, so it’s not verbatim what Derrida wrote, but it’s on page 15 of the pdf I linked.
1:07:03 The events we talk about here are the Goldsboro crash and the Palomares crash.
1:07:55 AIR-2 Genie is an unguided nuke that the U.S. developed to be shot from planes.
1:08:04 The Davy Crockett was a portable nuclear missile launcher.

261: Good Old Pertwee Gunplay (The Magician’s Apprentice & The Witch’s Familiar)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 20 minutes and 33 secondsEverything is a throwback, nothing is original.
What better time to completely revamp the format for the podcast than a moment in the show when absolutely nothing changed in the show? It makes total and complete sense to me, I’m actually not being facetious right now at all. Less things that the audience has to adjust to, you know? It’s The Magician’s Apprentice & The Witch’s Familiar, written by Steven Moffat and aired on September 19 and 26, 2015.
Show-notes:
4:51 Sonic screwdriver count. And death count. And character kill count. Due for an update like everything on our site.
6:10 The Morphos were from Keys of Marinus.
7:12 Footage of Getting Over It. Weird that the guy who made this is named Bennet like one of the characters in this episode. Also Frog Fractions should still be playable on this page if you have flash player I think.

260: The Moffat Code (Last Christmas)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 56 minutes and 30 secondsNow for the Trust Your Doctor Code. Five words: The Rock is The Doctor.
For once we can say we have a special “Christmas in July” episode of Trust Your Doctor. Because by some weird coincidence this goes out right near the end of July. Not quite on the 25th, or in the middle either, but it’s close enough. Is this the closest that Doctor Who has ever come to a Christmas in July? I’d like to think so and because of that I’m claiming the first for Trust Your Doctor. It’s Last Christmas, written by Steven Moffat and aired on December 25, 2014.
Show-notes:
8:59 I’M GONNA TAKE MY HEARSE TO THE OLD TOWN ROAD.
12:10 It was William Blake.
12:40 Here’s a Jungle Book fanfic that uses The Tyger as an epigraph. Next best thing.
15:25 Relive the magic of Troll 2 and Never Ending Story 3 vicariously through us on Triple Play, our movie trilogy podcast.
19:30 Things like “Jake Paulers.” (shudder)
19:54 Merry Xmas Everybody by Slade. Can’t believe I’m being forced to listen to Christmas music in July.
25:53 Started way before Freud.
31:25 Gallifreyan alphabet guide.
43:02 You can listen to The Memory Cheats from Big Finish. You can also listen to The Memory Cheats podcast from The Memory Cheats.
50:29 It’s been 84 years since I last got the opportunity to link to this meme.

259: The Interrogation of Danny Pink ft. JB Anderton (Dark Water & Death In Heaven)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 57 minutes and 0 secondsWho interrogates soldiers? The Hague?
Danny Pink you’re charged with war crimes, killing innocents, and committing genocide post mortum. We would dishonorably discharge you, but you seem so hell bent on being a soldier that we thought a more fitting punishment would be to just do nothing to you. You’ll forever be a soldier. How’s that for hell? It’s Dark Water and Death in Heaven, written by Steven Moffat and aired on November 1 and 8, 2014.
Show-notes:
1:04 Check out JB’s podcast WHO 37.
1:23 42 to Doomsday is another Doctor Who podcast.
2:40 JB’s other podcast BAT 77.
10:32 JB’s original coverage of these episodes on WHO 37.
37:27 I can’t find the exact 2 seconds of footage where the Wachowskis talk about liking Doctor Who, but it’s linked somewhere in the show notes of our Matrix episode of Triple Play, our movie trilogy podcast.
39:16 The Audio Visuals were produced in the 80s and 90s and were unlicensed.

258: Don’t Use Nukes to Kill Cockroaches (In the Forest of the Night)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 44 minutes and 51 secondsI think cockroaches are susceptible to pretty much any other form of death though.
Do cockroaches actually live in forests? I was just thinking now, since London is a forest now, does that mean all the cockroaches are dead? Or did they just decide “hey what the hell let’s throw a party, the world just became 100% more habitable for us last night!” Stay tuned… It’s In the Forest of the Night, written by Frank Cottrell Boyce and aired on October 25, 2014.

257: The Nice Ogron (Flatline)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 45 minutes and 41 secondsHave you ever met a kind hearted Ogron?
I’m imagining this as a sort of kids story in the Doctor Who universe for Time Lord children. They sit down because the Ogrons are some sort of myth, and then there’s a very nice Ogron who breaks away from society to be better than everyone else. I’m tearing up just at the thought of it. It’s Flatline, written by Jamie Mathieson and aired on October 18, 2014.
Show-notes:

256: Teletubbies is Actually Really Interesting (Mummy on the Orient Express)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 44 minutes and 4 secondsNow hang on hear me out on this…
Did you know the office where we record these episodes is right next to a train track? We usually luck out, it’s pretty rare that a train will pass while we record. It was more common when we recorded Zenith and TYD back to back, but it’s pretty rare now. Which I only mention because if there was ever a single episode, one single episode, that would have been pretty funny if the train actually did drive by on, it would have been this one. And you know, weirdly enough, it didn’t. It’s Mummy on the Orient Express, written by Jamie Mathieson and aired on October 11, 2014
Show-notes:
9:39 I couldn’t find the picture I was talking about, but I did find this other picture of Thomas Pynchon’s hand coming out of the darkness and doing the peace sign. In what looks like a reenactment of A Shocking Accident by Graham Green. Or maybe it’s a scene out of a Pynchon book. Or something else. I don’t know.
15:28 I still can’t find out who this guy is, what else he’s been in, his name, or anything else about him. Please help.

255: We Can’t Just Ignore the Nukes (Kill the Moon)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 56 minutes and 54 secondsI’m kind of surprised the US only sent up 100 nukes. That’s like 0.0001% of their arsenal.
In the continuing saga of “What the hell even is British English” I’ve gone and found out that a caretaker actually is a janitor. In fact, the dictionary explicitly lists “janitor” as a synonym for “caretaker.” Although I will refrain from mentioning what dictionary I used, for fear of drawing ire from the few english majors who listen. It’s Kill the Moon, written by Peter Harness and aired on October 4, 2014
Show-notes:
29:26 The San Andreas is a fault is a transform fault in California. When people talk about “the big one” happening in California, they’re talking about how the San Andreas is inevitably going to destroy everything beyond recognition and kill thousands if not millions.

254: Silurian Droideka (The Caretaker)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 57 minutes and 5 secondsHonestly I still want to know why the Trade Federation cheaped out on making more.
I actually just realized, right now, while typing this summary, that I don’t know what a caretaker is. Based on this episode I always assumed it was like, the UK version of a janitor, which is what we’ve got over here in the colonies. But maybe it’s more specialized. More research is required… stay tuned. It’s The Caretaker, written by Gareth Roberts and Steven Moffat and aired on September 27, 2014

Episode 253: Recycle Binned His Memories
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 49 minutes and 53 secondsReduce, reuse, recycle those braincells.
If Trust Your Doctor was committing a heist, what would we be stealing? I would have to imagine it would be something incredibly pointless, just to say that we could. Something like a 2×4 piece of wood from the local lumber yard. Those places have major security! This is would have to be the greatest heist of all time. It’s Time Heist, written by Steve Thompson and Steven Moffat and aired on September 20, 2014
Show-notes:
6:39 Malcolm Tucker from The Thick of It. Don’t worry, this video is 100% appropriate for children. Also, I had no idea Veep was inspired by a British show.
7:30 More totally child-friendly content courtesy of Gordon Ramsay.
10:05 Apparently Matrix code was created from recipes out of a Japanese cookbook.
16:51 Great intro sequence though.
17:41 Check out Triple Play, our movie trilogy podcast.
24:05 Dark Phoenix can’t be worse than The Last Stand, right?
41:34 Me thinking about how long a weekly Calvin & Hobbes podcast would take (the last panel).

Episode 252: Disco Ball Full of Beetles
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 44 minutes and 19 secondsWell this is the worst disco I’ve ever been to!
Have you ever been to an upmarket restaurant? I have, twice, to this very upscale very fancy Mexican place. Anyway that’s not related to the fact that I was going to ask, how much of a pain do you think it is to work there? You get all these rich people coming in, acting all entitled because they’re paying so damn much for the food. People like Danny and Clara. Who once again you have to wonder where they got the money for this dinner. It’s Listen, written by Steven Moffat and aired on September 13, 2014
Show-notes:
2:43 The Mark of the Rani is the first Rani story and Time and the Rani is the second. Classic Pip & Jane Baker stories.

We use an Apple laptop to record this podcast, did you know that? Other podcast have fancy desktop systems, but what we lack in CPU power we gain in portability. We could literally record anywhere. In fact we’ve had semiserious discussions about recording this podcast in a car. Like an actual moving motor vehicle. Stay tuned. It’s Robot of Sherwood, written by Mark Gatiss and aired on September 6, 2014.

Episode 250: The Earth is Flat
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 41 minutes and 43 secondsIt is.
We need to look inside ourself this week. Like deep inside, to the parts ourselves that we never show to the light. Where the cobwebs are. Where my little spider friend Steve lives, killing any flies that make their way in. Hey Steve, hope you’ve been having a good time in there. Nice cobwebs! It’s Into the Dalek, written by Steven Moffat and Phil Ford and aired on August 30, 2014.
Show-notes:
3:54 According to the Doctor Who Podcast alliance, our total runtime is 16 days, 12 hours, 50 minutes, 42 seconds.
6:41 I meant Evil of the Daleks . The Doctor actually names the Daleks Alpha, Beta, and Omega in this one.
17:25 Check out Zenith, our Blake’s 7 podcast.

Episode 249: Step Up Your Sarcasm Game
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 1 minutes and 11 secondsThe fourth sequel to the Step Up series.
I was really hoping that this would be episode 250 but none of the numbering worked out for it to be so. I guess episode 250 is just awkwardly going to be the second episode of this season, which would probably bother some people but I’m pretty unconcerned. I’m bummer, to be sure, but nothing more than that. It’s Deep Breath, written by Steven Moffat and aired on August 23, 2014.

The Eleventh Doctor Retrospective
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 53 minutes and 34 secondsWell bloody hell I have nothing witty to say about 11.
I really genuinely thought that for a while Deep Breath would be Episode 250 of the podcast. Of course, I had forgotten at the time that we don’t number retrospectives, and hence this episode wasn’t going to be Episode 249. Which means that Episode 250 won’t actually fall on any sort of important episode, but is instead going to fall on the random Into the Dalek episode. Honestly really bummed about that but I can’t do anything about it at this point.
Show-notes:
9:04 It wasn’t Neil Cross. I actually can’t remember/find who it was who wrote a Doctor Who episodes never having watched an episode. Like we mentioned, Pip and Jane Baker for sure. Also probably most of the writers for season 1 like Terry Nation.
17:55 It’s called trainwrecking.

Episode 248: Doctor Chibnall
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 14 minutes and 51 secondsDoctor Who has an illness and Doctor Chibnall is here to solve it.
And so the clock has run out. Like just totally. It’s not 11, it’s not 12, it’s just dead. Hands fell off. and nobody knows how to make clocks anymore since we all use digital clocks so I haven’t really been able to get it fixed. Bit of a bummer, you know that saying that a broken clock is right twice a day? Well turns out that only applies if your clock actually has hands. It’s The Time of the Doctor, written by Steven Moffat and aired on December 25, 2013.
Show-notes:
8:40 Still in production.
11:20 The Five(ish) Doctors is a short docu-mockumentary that follows Peter Davison, Sylvester McCoy, and Colin Baker trying to be part of the 50th anniversary episodes.
20:27 Here’s the video I was referring to, “How Chibnall Killed Doctor Who.” I haven’t watched it though. I just keep seeing it on youtube and it probably has such good SEO cause of the clickbait title.
1:05:00 Complete Menagerie and Reality Bomb are two other Doctor Who Podcasts.
1:13:14 The episode is called Nightmare at 20,000 feet.
1:13:39 Goosebumps is a horror book series for kids. And yes, the movies have Jack Black in them.

Episode 247: It’ll Never Get That Bad Again
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 15 minutes and 24 secondsWe’re out of it now.
This week Kiyan and Dylan finally put the first 50 years of the podcast to rest. I mean the first 50 years of Doctor Who. Same thing in the end, really, when you think about it. The podcast has existed as long as the show has, didn’t you know that? I thought it was common knowledge but I suppose there is a possibility that it wasn’t. Well now you know. It’s The Day of the Doctor, written by Steven Moffat and aired on November 23, 2013.

Episode 246: Do Androids Dream of Electric Peeps?
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 2 minutes and 41 secondsI’m pretty sure electric peeps would suck even worse than normal peeps.
You know, we kind of have experience with dealing with something we like to pretend doesn’t exist. It’s called Trust Your Doctor, Episode 1. We even rerecorded it like 5 years later, and then literally replaced it in the podcast feed so no one would see the original version. Kind of like our version of the War Doctor. Except you can still totally find episode 1. As if I’d tell you where though. It’s Name of the Doctor, written by Steven Moffat and aired on May 18, 2013.
Show-notes:
18:20 According to Paul’s Unofficial Letterbox Pages, “Most houses in Britain have a letter box in the front door, usually a simple slot with a flap over it, through which the post is delivered each morning.” No mention of personal mailboxes outside people’s houses like you see in the states.
21:25 And thus the essence of all crime is undivulged.
20:19 I think the only thing I’ve linked to more than this River Song timeline is the asteroid/meteor/meteorite differences table thing from nasa.
25:08 Arrival is a movie about alien linguistics.
33:49 Some of the best J.K. Rowling tweets.

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 46 minutes and 25 secondsWhat ever happened to Quicksilver anyway?
In about twenty years I’m hoping to buy Disneyland. Why, you might ask? Because I want to rebuild it in our image. I want to build an entire Trust Your Doctor themed theme park. We’ll have the Aztecs land, where we just have people walk around dressed as Tegana. And then there’ll be the Koquillian cosplayers and… It’s Nightmare in Silver, written by Neil Gaiman and aired on May 11, 2013.
Show-notes:
6:54 The Quicksilver secene in X Men Days of Future Past is an instant classic. The knockoff followup in Apocalypse is just embarrassing in comparison.
8:36 Check our our nearly dead Blake’s 7 podcast Zenith. Actually it’s on life support, barely hanging on thanks to us constantly mentioning it on Trust Your Doctor.
10:10 The rides in Wonder Park look really safe.
12:32 Footage of Six Flags New Orleans
13:50 It was The Silver Turk, released in 2011.
15:18 Fool’s mate can be done in just 4 moves (2 turns on each side).

Episode 244: Lucasarts Did it First
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 55 minutes and 49 secondsOne day we’ll be able to prove that, but not today.
When we recorded this there was a bout a 15 minute period where we just got paralyzed with fear. Turns out the Crimson Horror is the lobster we bought as a pet for the podcast. Of course, we’re only ever in the recording room once a week so the poor guy didn’t get much socialization. You might think he died, well actually he just came up with a extremely convoluted plan to overthrow the podcast. It’s The Crimson Horror, written by Mark Gatiss and aired on May 4, 2013.
Show-notes:
0:31 Damn my past self for asking me to link to this.
1:53 Last year Ahmed Best revealed he almost killed himself over the backlash against his role as Jar Jar. We discussed some of the reasons against the backlash years ago on our movie trilogy podcast Triple Play.
7:05 Check out our Blake’s 7 podcast, Zenith.
11:50 Space Fall is a great Blake’s 7 podcast.
33:00 Can’t blame Disney for this.

Episode 243: Elon Musk’s New “Innovation”
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 48 minutes and 43 secondsHow many things has Elon invented now?
Trust Your Doctor is a complex beast. We record in an office so sparse and huge it’s comparable to the TARDIS itself. We even have a whole room just singularly dedicated to cotton candy. Like. It’s just walls and walls of cotton candy machines. That’s all that’s in there. This is a 100% true fact. It’s Journey to the Center of the TARDIS, written by Steve Thompson and aired on April 20, 2013.
Show-notes:
0:37 The Rock was actually in the sequel to the 2008 Journey to the center of the Earth, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.
1:19 Michael Caine on Jaws: The Revenge: “No [I haven’t seen it]. But I have seen the house it bought for my mum. It’s fantastic.”
1:49 Check out our discussion of Iron Man on our other podcast Triple Play.
14:09 Challenger was the one in 1986 that blew up when it took off. Columbia was the one that blew up when it was coming back in 2003.
25:22 Not gonna link the 2018 Slender man trailer again. That thing gave me nightmares last week. Instead have this harmless wikipedia link.
33:49 Free Solo is a movie about a guy who climbs mountains without equipment.
40:43 Here’s the documentary from 1986.
47:10 Young Goodman Brown.

Episode 242: Floral Print Pants
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 0 minutes and 46 secondsNooo, not the floral print, please, not the floral print!
The other day we were recording the podcast and then suddenly discovered that our recording studio is haunted. We’re currently being haunted by our great-great-great-great-grandchildren. Weirdly enough they’re still doing a podcast that far in the future. If you all wanted to know when Doctor Who would end, I can tell you it doesn’t end before our descendants get their grubby hands all over our podcast. It’s Hide, written by Neil Cross and aired on April 20, 2013.
Show-notes:
1:30 Neil Cross’ only ongoing show is Luther. I thought his other show Hard Sun was still ongoing but it’s not.
2:22 Omega tried to harness the power of antimatter in Arc of Infinity.
5:11 Here’s all the other stuff Jessica Raine and Dougray Scott have been in.
6:02 Horace Walpole wrote the Castle of Otranto.
12:27 Next time I have any problem, big or small, supernatural or not, I know who I’m gonna call.
18:20 Check out our Blake’s 7 podcast Zenith.
20:10 Truth or Dare is a recent horror movie from Blumhouse. And yeah the characters in it are really dumb.
21:31 Here’s the blog post that maps out all the references to Cumbria.
36:25 The projector scene from the new It.
40:59 Slender Man was a meme horror character from like 5-10 years ago. There was a Slender Man movie last year (warning: the link is to an official trailer with some scary shit in it, watch at your own risk).
45:43 It was Monster of Peladon.
53:18 Playing in the Dark
54:51 Time dilation sounds like some complicated shit.
55:31 Must suck to be Sarah Winchester. (Disclaimer: I didn’t actually read any of this page)
59:15 Thomas Pynchon may be a secretive reclusive, but he lent his voice to The Simpsons at one point.
59:24 The Last Question is actually by Isaac Asimov.

Episode 241: Check Out Duran Duran
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 45 minutes and 5 secondsOnly true Duran Duran fans listen to this podcast.
You know, sometimes I wonder how hard it must have been if you were an American or British spy and you were sent into Russia. You have to spend months, if not years, learning Russian, and then you have to perfect it to the point where you have basically no accent at all. And then if you do have an accent, well, good luck buddy you’ll probably get shot on sight. It’s Cold War, written by Mark Gatiss and aired on April 13, 2013.
Show-notes:
1:38 The Seeds of Death was in season 6, The Seeds of Doom was in season 13.
10:38 Ronald Reagan: 1981-1989. George H.W. Bush: 1989-1993. Bill Clinton: 1993-2001.
11:30 It was Yuri Andropov.
16:16 We (I) got some stuff wrong here, but wikipedia has a pretty good article on Japanese holdout. Hiroo Onoda is probably the most famous.
17:00 We also do a movie trilogy podcast called Triple Play.
19:30 According to Manatee-World, manatees can’t live in water below 60 degrees Fahrenheit, so there aren’t any arctic manatees.
25:17 It looks like Sony still makes the Walkman as an mp3 player.
34:37 Images of the Cold War playset.
43:17 According to imdb, Jenna Coleman was born on 27 April 1986, making her 32 right now. Her bio doesn’t mention anything about her early life that would be linguistically interesting, so I don’t know what, if anything, is up with her accent.
