Harry develops a seafood allergy, Sarah's a fallen woman and the Doctor finds that navigating Skaro can be a bit of a minefield.
Why does Sevrin like steamy nightclubs?
Where do Davros and Nyder spend their romantic getaways?
Which part of a Dalek's intestines is the most dangerous?
And would Jim and Martin put Genesis of the Daleks up among the gods or did watching it reveal to them the true meaning of pain?

144: The Aztecs
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 30 minutes and 38 secondsBarbara's penchant for historical re-enactment gets our intrepid time team into a spot of bother down old Mexico way.
While she cosplays as a dead bloke, the Doctor and Susan try to dodge a double wedding and Ian has to use his thumb for more than hitchhiking.
Will Susan get spiked, Ian skewered and Babs bricked up?
Worse still, will the Doctor get hitched?
Will Tlotoxl change his name by Deed Poll or will Martin have a stroke?
And did Jim and Martin find The Aztecs to be like a comforting cup of cocoa or a goblet of cold poison?

143: Carnival of Monsters
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 25 minutes and 37 secondsWe're used to looking at a screen and seeing dodgy creatures attacking a pair of plucky adventurers.
With Carnival of Monsters, you can watch other folk doing the same thing. It's like Gogglebox with grey aliens.
Can a chota peg really solve any behemoth-based problem?
How easy is it to drug-mule a set of skeleton keys?
How many seconds were spent making the Functionary masks and how much change did they get out of a pound note?
And were Jim and Martin amused by the miniscope or did it leave them colder than an Inter Minor welcome?

142: The Underwater Menace
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 48 minutes and 0 secondsThe Krynoid PodCast boys welcome you back to the Green Cathedral this Yuletide to offer you perhaps the closest thing to a pantomime that '60s Who gets, The Underwater Menace.
What the heck is the Doctor wearing and why?
Is the rest of the Atlanteans' male grooming as lax as their eyebrows?
How will Polly's groovy new gills go down on the swinging King's Road?
And did this soggy saga float Jim and Martin's boats or was it like watching a shipwreck?

030: The Romans
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 14 minutes and 19 secondsThey say "when in Rome, do as the Romans do".
But Barbara wants no part of what Nero wants to do and Ian has had a belly full of orders from the expansionist Italians. The Doctor and Vicki, meanwhile, have a great time lying about lyres and nearly poisoning a despot but it's no surprise when it all goes up in flames.

029: Full Circle
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 33 minutes and 4 secondsThe Doctor and Romana find themselves slumming it in a pocket-sized parallel universe.

Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 57 minutes and 15 secondsThe Doctor is still on trial with the Time Lords and this is his dubious evidence for the defence.

027: The King's Demons
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 35 minutes and 51 secondsThe Doctor takes Tegan back to see some of her history with the usual unwelcome results.
Is King John quite himself? Why is he so keen on meeting Demons? And, more to the point, why does he employ a barely disguised renegade Time Lord with an outrageous accent?

026: The Curse of Peladon
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 29 minutes and 5 secondsThe Doctor saves Jo Grant from a date with Mike Yates but at what cost?
The intrepid pair find themselves in a medieval mise en scene and encounter several forms of green galactico, including Ice Warriors, Arcturus and phallic fraidy cat, Alpha Centauri. But who is the real villain?

024: Resurrection of the Daleks
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 46 minutes and 8 secondsThe Universe's least favourite motorised dustbins are back and this time they've come to papa.
They're hoping devious daddy, Davros, will cure their lurgy but Ol' One Eye, with the questionable help of Dirty Den, has other plans. It's up to the Doctor and co to bat off Bob Ferris and save the day. But not everyone will make it back to the TARDIS...

KP23: Horror of Fang Rock
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 9 minutes and 11 secondsThe Doctor and Leela's day trip turns into a nightmare when they wind up at a wave-lashed Edwardian lighthouse.

-
022: The Seeds of Death
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 33 minutes and 22 secondsIn a future world where men (almost) wear their y-fronts outside their jump suits, T-Mat is the mode of travel du jour.
But when a troop of myopic Martians mince into a moon base, it's time for the Earthmen to polish their rockets and get ready for a foam party that'll put Ibiza to shame.
This episode can also be found at iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible and all other podcatchers (as far as we know).
-
021: Time And The Rani
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 20 minutes and 27 secondsWe're back with another batch of legacy episodes from the dusty depths of the Krynoid PodCast archive.
This time it's all change as Sylvester McCoy with a wig regenerates into Sylvester McCoy without a wig.
The Rani cosplays as Mel Bush while the Doctor plays the spoons (and the fool) and the whole thing can only be described as batfood crazy.
This episode can also be found at iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible and all other podcatchers (as far as we know).
-
141: The Keeper of Traken
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 15 minutes and 18 secondsWe return to Who with a tale of secret enemies, ostentatious acting and stentorian asides.
Will the Keeper ever escape his shower cubicle?
Will aubergines ever replace Rice Krispies?
Will Tom Baker ever wipe his nose?
And will The Keeper of Traken give Jim and Martin a new lease of life or leave them calcified?

020: The Time Warrior
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 58 minutes and 26 secondsRoving reporter, Sarah Jane Smith, gets more of a scoop than she bargained for when she gatecrashes UNIT's scientist sleepover.
But although she meets a roistering robber baron, a lily-livered lord and a stranded space toad (not to mention Dot Cotton and Boba Fett), she fails to get an interview with any of them.
-
019: The Keys of Marinus
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 25 minutes and 11 secondsThe First Doctor and chums go for a whistle-stop tour of the wonderful world of Marinus.
Which is a great holiday venue, providing you avoid its cities, mountains, seas and jungles. And the intrepid traveller should also beware of flappy-footed gimps, trouserless tour guides, randy trappers and the Knights Who Say "Ni".
-
018: City of Death
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 5 minutes and 29 secondsThe Doctor and Romana go on their hols for a water and bouillabaisse blowout by the banks of the Seine.
Naturally, things do not run smoothly as an ancient alien, a pugilistic private dick and a mad scientist muddy the waters and they're surrounded by fake, if enigmatic, smiles.
-
017: The Three Doctors
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 8 minutes and 4 secondsThe Third Doctor probably thought things were bad enough - stuck on Earth as he was with a dud TARDIS, a scatty hippy and a bunch of squaddies.
But now he has to contend with CSO in his sink, a bunch of Mr Blobbys on his lawn and a loud-mouthed mentalist with a grudge. Luckily his former selves turn up to make things even worse.
-
016: Enlightenment
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 59 minutes and 28 secondsBack to re-uploading our 30 earliest episodes...
Avian headgear ahoy! Yes, the Black and White Guardians are back to oversee a space race in which Turlough goes overboard, Gladys Emmanuel is over the top and Leeee John is overestimated as an actor.
-
140: The Abominable Snowmen
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 19 minutes and 14 secondsJim and Martin spring a festive surprise with some new Krynoid PodCast material!
They scan the snowless Snowdonian slopes for monstrous myths and find the Doctor giving an old friend a bell, Victoria repeating herself and Jamie threatening everyone with a bagpipe recital.
But did The Abominable Snowmen thaw their cockles or give them the cold shoulder. Listen to find out!

015: Attack of the Cybermen
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 56 minutes and 26 secondsThe Sixth Doctor gets a second chance with this tale of hard men, frigid women and a Fat Controller. And marvel as Jim shamelessly steals Fry and Laurie material in the intro.
-
014: The Seeds of Doom
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 56 minutes and 34 secondsTime for the story which gave our pod its name. A horticultural tale in which an artistic old bat recovers a debt, a tree-hugger becomes compost and Boycie ends up out of his depth with a gardening problem.
-
013: The Curse of Fenric
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 47 minutes and 21 secondsBurn your chess boards and steer clear of the beach... Fenric's in town! Look out for teenage vamps, ancient vampires and the strangest chat-up of all time. And give Nicholas Parsons just a minute of your time before crying "stunt casting!"
-
012: The War Machines
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 44 minutes and 46 secondsDoctor Who is required to suffer a swinging night club, a controlled companion and a Savile comparison, all while trying to defeat a computerised menace with a vendetta against cardboard boxes.
-
11: Spearhead From Space
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 41 minutes and 8 secondsAn absolute banger involving our newly dandified hero stealing a banger. Plastic killers, a shiny receptionist and a tea-dribbling basket case thrown in.
-
010: The Five Doctors
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 1 minutes and 20 secondsWatch out for obelisks, chessboards and mind probes - it's The Five Doctors!
-

Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 31 minutes and 49 secondsHarry fiddles with a knob, Sarah passes out and the Doctor gets in a sweat on The Ark in Space.
-
008: The Visitation
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 29 minutes and 32 secondsAdric trips over nothing and Richard Mace runs off for a squirter. Don't miss the lads' take on The Visitation.
-
007: The Mind Robber
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 26 minutes and 4 secondsThe lads get their minds fudged by The Mind Robber.
-
006: Vengeance On Varos

-

Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 26 minutes and 47 secondsJim and Martin delve into the patchy Seventh Doctor era and pull out a plum.

001 Introduction
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 46 minutes and 10 secondsThis is the first of our earliest 30 Krynoid PodCast episodes which we're uploading to Libsyn so that all of our episodes are accessible from the same place.
Herein, a very tentative sounding Jim and Martin discuss their history with Doctor Who and compare NuWho to Classic Who.
Apologies for the sound quality. It does get better in future episodes. And apologies for Jim's over use of samples. They start and stop here.
-
The Mutoid Podcast 01: The Way Back
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 51 minutes and 25 secondsWelcome to the first episode of Jim and Martin's new podcast on that other great BBC sci-fi series of the 1970s and 80s, Blake's 7.
This is just a sample episode for Krynoid PodCast listeners. Future episodes will be published at https://mutoidpodcast.libsyn.com so, if you like it, please subscribe at your usual podcatcher.
There may be a delay while the first episode reaches all of its destinations so please try again if you can't find The Mutoid Podcast first time.
Over the next few months on this feed, we will be publishing the first 30 episodes of the Krynoid PodCast which are not currently hosted at Libsyn.
When this migration is completed, all of the Krynoid PodCast episodes will be available in the same places (iTunes, Spotify, etc.).

"We're coming back..."
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 17 minutes and 20 secondsJim and Martin are returning to podcasting... with a surprising plot twist.

139: The Hand of Fear
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 49 minutes and 38 secondsSo it’s time to go home for Andy Pandy fangirl, Sarah Jane Smith.
And there’s a hand pulling the strings in this show too, giving tupperware a bad name and Professor Watson a bad day at the power plant.
Handily, crystalline cosmic crook Eldrad can reform herself from her moribund mitt and then she herself suffers from a wandering hand from her leading man.
For a change, we leave a quarry to land on an alien planet where ‘she’ becomes a ‘he’, the decibel level rockets and he – and the serial – fall off a cliff.
But is it OK to fancy Eldrad?
How many (if any) puerile ‘ring’ jokes should be allowed in one podcast episode?
And do Jim and Martin think The Hand of Fear deserves a thumbs up? Or do they give it the finger?
Listen and you might get an answer to some or none of the above.
The lads also review the brand new audiobooks of Dalek and The Crimson Horror!
Also available on Spotify.
-
138: The Ultimate Foe
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 28 minutes and 44 secondsWelcome to The Fun Factory: trespassers will be self-prosecuted.
The Valeyard (aka The Flaw Doctor) makes the most of a unique Time Lord feature and gives his own SJW predecessor a right legal leathering on Space Station SFX.
But they still find time for trips to Camber Quicksands and Popplewick’s House of Exploding Quills, where the waiting room is spacious but gives you that sinking feeling.
The Doctor quotes, the Master gloats and Glitz dotes on bank notes, while the Keeper is not averse to the odd slide tackle to protect his Panatropic Net (even though Mel always aims for row Z).
But did Jim and Martin find The Ultimate Foe ultimately forgettable or a worthy way to end an era?
Listen to find out.
The lads also review the audiobooks of The Krotons and The Curse of Fenric.
Also available on Spotify.
-
137: The Dalek Invasion of Earth
Episode Duration: 0 days, 3 hours, 17 minutes and 54 secondsYou may think life can’t get much worse at the moment but locked-down Brexity Britain looks positively idyllic compared to Blighty under the rubber skirt of Dalek rule.
This septic isle is overrun with motorised dustbins, headphone-wearing dullards who’ve really let themselves go and the most unrealistic pet since K9.
The Doctor falls on his coccyx, Susan falls in love, Ian falls out of a door and Babs falls in with a rough crowd and TWOKs a dustcart. Luckily, a fratricidal fellow rebel lends two hands and Mr Rumbold lends his ears but the perma-grumpy Mrs Briers fails to stop Babs succumbing to crones.
Would you buy a used mattress from a Dalek?
Is the entry exam for the Roboman Academy too difficult?
How many floating corpses would it take to put you off a glass of water?
And did Jim and Martin find The Dalek Invasion of Earth to be a glorious triumph or a misbegotten folly?
Listen to find out!
The lads also review the audiobooks of Fury From The Deep and The Awakening.
Also available on Spotify.
-
136: Snakedance
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 40 minutes and 27 secondsWhat could be more fun at Christmas than a Punch and Judy show?
Almost anything, of course, but perhaps even puppety domestic violence is preferable to mental subservience to an ancient evil.
This is the lot of tetchy Tegan, who’s red in tooth and eye again, but at least she gets to spread the hate with an embryonic Doc Martin this time around.
Nyssa cosplays a deckchair and the Doctor indulges in some heavy breathing, while Mr Sladen is forced to reflect on the viability of his shoddy little booth. Lon’s special dress is even shorter than his temper but not as skimpy as his mum’s interest in Ambril’s antiques.
But did Jim and Martin find Snakedance becoming or did they conclude that that’s not the way to do it?
Listen to find out!
The lads also review the audiobooks of The Mark of the Rani and The Pyramids of Mars.

135: The Invasion of Time
Episode Duration: 0 days, 3 hours, 43 minutes and 54 secondsWhen is a talkative chair not a talkative chair?
When it’s an alien shower curtain. Or a stumpy git in a pith helmet.
But, underwhelming as they are, the Vardans still plan an Invasion of Time by conquering pound-shop Gallifrey – a land of medicinal jelly beans, powerful ping pong balls and walnut-chomping dropouts.
Its denizens include Chancellor Borusa who’s more put-upon than Tom Baker’s beer mat and Castellan Kelner who’s slimier than a newly-painted Myrka. And, of course, a prototype Romana who’s qualified to wield a screwdriver but can’t hack it in the university of life, even with a bumper pack of Giant Smarties at her side.
The Doctor shouts, K9 snarks and Leela shacks up with an innocent bystander, while the surprise Sontarans stomp about, searching in vain for a jellied eels stall.
But did Jim and Martin find the story an all-conquering triumph or was it just an unwelcome invasion of their time?
Listen to find out.
The lads also review the audiobooks of The Doomsday Weapon and The Edge of Destruction.
Also available on Spotify.
-
134: Fury From The Deep
Episode Duration: 0 days, 3 hours, 3 minutes and 10 secondsScream if you want to leave faster!
That seems to be Victoria’s tactic as she sobs, whimpers and shrieks her way out of the show in Fury From The Deep.
Indeed, old Leather Lungs’ prodigious output is harnessed to harass some killer kelp and make its human puppets less weedy – even beating the expert man-mismanager John Robson for decibels in the process.
Jamie opts out of a foam party and, for a change, it’s the Doctor who can’t control his chopper. Meanwhile, Mr Wint and Mr Kidd need to rethink their dental hygiene regimes and Perkins would be better off seeking his raison d’etre than searching for a spouse.
Has Maggie Harris been at the Mother’s Ruin?
Does the new animation place the story deeper within the long arms of the lore?
And did Fury From The Deep sweep Jim and Martin along or leave them beached on the shores of ennui?
Listen to find out.
The lads also review the audiobooks of The Dominators and Dragonfire.

133: The Space Museum
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 20 minutes and 10 secondsA museum? On a planet, you say?
Amazingly, that’s just where TARDIS brings Doctor Who and chums in The Space Museum. But the problems here are worse than an expensive gift shop, a blocked urinal or a coach party of feral school kids.
For the planet Xeros is occupied by the moaning Morocks, a race only slightly less pathetic than the indigenous teenage beatniks, among whom subjugation raises barely/only an eyebrow.
And our plucky travellers have problems of their own, chiefly their future starring roles in the most boring tourist attraction since the financially disastrous Sensorites’ Sexy Sashes exhibition.
Our heroes deal with the trauma in their own individual ways though, with the Doctor kipping for an episode, Vicki stirring up the students, Babs having a smoke break and Ian chewing her cardigan.
Will the time travellers evade their fate?
Would you buy a used glass from Vicki?
What day is Nude Day on the TARDIS?
And did Jim and Martin find themselves informed and entertained by The Space Museum or is it just a dusty old relic?
Listen to find out!
The lads also review the audiobooks of The Curse of Peladon and Image of the Fendahl.

132: Colony In Space
Episode Duration: 0 days, 3 hours, 38 minutes and 38 secondsA bit of holiday advice from the Green Cathedral: better a staycation in Blighty than a sojourn on Uxarieus, a planet more miserable than Raymond Cusick at a Dalek memorabilia auction.
But this monochrome blob of clay is surprisingly sought after, with hairy hippies and corporate breadheads alike fighting to the death over it. And perhaps the indigenous residents might even feel they have a claim to the land. Not that anyone cares about that, of course.
As well as providing mud, rain and a single flower, Uxarieus offers a mother lode of the very mineral that the twelvty squillion residents of 25th Century Earth desperately need and the very eff-off WMD the Master evilly craves.
So, to this end, the future Rev Magister pretends to be an Adjudicator while the wiggy Cap'n Dent tries to put the willies up the colonists with rubbish robots and home videos of his pet gecko.
Throw in a crap puppet, prune-faced priests, over-Botoxed primitives and a prescient nod to a taboo TV host and we have something of a carnival of monsters.
But did Jim and Martin warm to the wet February clay pit that is the Colony In Space or did it leave them colder than Terry Walsh's wobbly bits?
