047: Rose
Episode Duration: 0 minutes and 0 seconds"Lots of planets have a north!"
Yes, the grinning, jug-eared bloke from Northern Gallifrey makes his debut in 2005’s seminal legend-resuscitator, Rose.
Everyone’s favourite chav, the eponymous Rose Tyler, has a bronze medal in under-7s gymnastics, a boyfriend who goes from annoying to plastic to basket case in 45 minutes and a Mum who all but twerks at passing strangers.
No wonder she fancies a spot of travel. But first she must deal with plastic non-students, a disembodied arm, an internet weirdo and an angry vat of custard. These things happen when a benevolent alien blows up your job.
So what do Jim and Martin make of their tentative foray into nascent NuWho? Find out here (just don’t mention the belching wheelie bin).

046: Doctor Who - The TV Movie
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 36 minutes and 10 seconds"This cannot be how it ends!"Well it damn nearly was.Yes, it's time to reconsider the 1996 Paul McGann TV Movie, with its gun fights, fist fights, car chases, snogging and schmaltz (no way was this an American production!).The Doctor is now only half-Gallifreyan with a naff syrup and an Addams Family interior design sense, while the Master is now part-snake, part-personal lubricant dispenser, with a penchant for "drezzing" up.Thank Bod for Amazing Grace with her static tear and innate knowledge of Time Lord temporal mechanics and for Chang Lee's hip high-fiving - keeping us well and truly anchored to the Eighties in this Millennial tale.So did Jim and Martin enjoy their Whocation in North America? Or did they yearn for Blighty with its breadline budgets, cramped sets and silly CSO? And what do they think of Peter Capaldi's casting as the 12th Doctor?Listen here to find out, y'all!

045: Dragonfire
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 8 minutes and 28 seconds"I haven't got no mum and dad. I've never had no mum and dad and I don't want no mum and dad. It's just me, all right?"So who's this perishin' apple-cheeked cockernee urchin then? Why, it's Ace! And she joins the show in 1987's Dragonfire, which mercifully closes Season 24.It's a frosty fable involving a wobbly-headed ANT, some woeful ice statuary and a frigid frozen food salesman.A screamer leaves, a street yoof joins, a permed old rascal returns, and the Doctor reveals that he is in fact not half-human, but half-lemming.Who is the little girl (and why)? Does it really take 3,000 years to set up a moderately successful branch of Iceland? And would you buy a fish finger from a homicidal maniac?Jim and Martin ponder these questions and more (e.g. "Isn't there something better on another channel?") so join them as they break the ice and chase the dragon...

044: The Brain of Morbius
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 20 minutes and 59 seconds"Chop Suey, the Galactic Emperor"The elusive Robin Bland serves up this dubious dish, with a hefty helping of hairy kebab meat, in 1976's The Brain of Morbius.But it's still a more appetising proposition than the Liquorice Bootlace Surprise at Chez Mehendri, a Bohemian bistro with a red, white and green wine list.The latest renegade Time Lord may be half man/half Macra with a goldfish bowl bonce but he's not the only patchwork person around. He's joined by a bearded old crone who's a cross between Chuck Heston and one of his Apes, and a home help who's equal parts Richard III, Liam Gallagher and Abu Hamza.Sarah goes blind and the Doctor gets blind drunk but sobers up in time to blind the Sisterhood with chimney sweep science. Then Morbius broadsides us with a colossal non-canon ball - the bombshell that Tom Baker is, in fact, the mystery 12th Doctor.It's lively, it's loony and it's lurid so listen in as Jim and Martin bend their minds in an attempt to make sense of it all.

043: Death to the Daleks
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 27 minutes and 56 seconds
"It's rather a pity, in a way. Now the universe is down to six hundred and ninety nine wonders."
The Doctor reacts badly to the news of Girls Aloud splitting up. Luckily, the Krynoid Podcast is here to take his mind off it.
After giving Cold War, Hide and Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS the once-over, Jim and Martin travel back in time to 1974 for Death to the Daleks - a tale of disarmed Daleks, operatic Exxilons and homicidal hoovers from the City of Dave.
They play 'Spot the Terry Nation Trope' while also wondering just how terrifying a patch of two-toned flooring can be.
With an empty Dalek 'standing' about and a blushing high priest channeling Spike Milligan, they ask 'Who is the real goon?'
And they plead with Carey Blyton to stop using sax as a weapon.
So why not dive in? Come on, the water's effervescent...

042: Timelash
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 8 minutes and 11 seconds"Nobody wants you. Nobody needs you. Nobody cares!"
Well that's the review of Timelash done then.
Nevertheless, Jim and Martin gently tap themselves into the unrealistic Kontron tunnel of the title to see if they can't discover a gem or two.
Baker's baubles get harnessed and Peri unleashes her inner damsel in distress, while Avon dons a Dick 3 wig and channels Henry Irving.
The toga-togged Karfelans are menaced from above by Muppet cobras and from below by overgrown slowworms, little knowing that their dastardly dictator is actually half the man he used to be.
Can the Doctor free them from this terrifying regime, where beekeepers and body-popping androids are a pain in the neck and where 'Tinsel Inside' is considered the highest mark of quality for time technology?
Is Timelash as bad as the fan Hive Mind decrees?
Yes... indeed... it... is...

041: The Awakening
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 42 minutes and 30 seconds"Something is coming to our village... something very wonderful and strange."
So is the Davison two-parter The Awakening "wonderful and strange"?
Well the sets are certainly wonderful and there are some rather strange goings on in Little Hodcombe.
There's a bad-wigged nutter with a tinclavic stress ball, a one-eyed beggar with a penchant for ladies' handbags and Ben Wolsey's infamous Reproduction Room, for starters.
Where does old Big Face keep his body? Would an incredulous guppy make a good companion? And just who is the old fella with the wizened chesticles?
Listen as Jim and Martin awaken their feeble brain cells and try to answer these questions, while distinguishing set from location, real person from projection and, rather more easily, stroppy air hostess from straw May Queen.

040: The Invisible Enemy
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 4 minutes and 6 seconds“The age of man is over, Doctor. The age of the virus has begun.”
Oh dear. Time to run this file through McAfee then?
No. Fret Not. These words are spoken by a giant prawn to a Time Lord, just after exiting his body through his tear duct. Yes, this can only be Tom Baker’s bonkers brain-centric epic, The Invisible Enemy.
Wherein the Doctor and Leela, in reduced circumstances, wander about inside the Gallifreyan’s brain, hotly pursued by a hairy-eyed Hitler. Signs are spelt orl rong, a certain metal dog makes his debut as a violent virologist and a behemoth of a bottom-feeder gets pushed around on a skateboard, presumably in search of a suitably large barbeque upon which to end his days.
Now where did I put that Thousand Island dressing…?

Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 57 minutes and 24 seconds"I have my own methods... I keep my my eyes open and my mouth shut."Sadly Jim and Martin don't, and consequently bang on at some length here about 1967's chilling Troughton tale, The Tomb of the Cybermen.It's a four-episode epic involving awful accents, anxious archaeologists and cute and convenient handbag-size hit-mice.Gasp as Victoria falls asleep, Jamie falls into a trance and the Doctor nearly falls from grace as he plays impromptu puppet master - handy really as there's a Toberman on strings and an under-stuffed, self-decapitating metal manikin to contend with.Our doughty podcasters also find time to reveal the bowel-churning origin of the Cybermats, for whom a damn good flushing is too good.But don't worry - just sit back, tune in and let Jim and Martin eliminate fear from your brain...

038: The Power of Kroll
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 58 minutes and 19 seconds"He's not the Great One. He's the Insignificant One. If you're going to have someone imitate Kroll, it ought to be more convincing."
Yes, it's everyone's worst Christmas nightmare – an enormous Brussels Sprout with its accompanying surfeit of methane. Only this time it's a giant squid god who menaces a model, gives a Time Lord a tentacular tourniquet and reminds some Swampies that it really isn't easy being green.
Romana goes off seafood, the Doctor loves the sound of breaking glass and Thawn hates just about anyone who isn't Thawn.
Green crevices, bushy gates and the imminent threat of dangly-bit exposure must have kept Mary Whitehouse on full alert but did The Power of Kroll float Jim and Martin's canoes?

037: The Ambassadors of Death
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 48 minutes and 23 seconds“I had to do what I did. It was my moral duty. You do understand, don't you?”
Naughty General Carrington tries to justify his nefarious programme of kidnap, murder and the pursuit of pregnant women in the 1970 astronaut caper, The Ambassadors of Death.
Jim and Martin discuss displaced Frenchie faces, play spot the unborn head and debate the nutritional value of an isotope breakfast.
Who is the coolest guest character? Can UNIT sentries really come back from the dead? And which dried-fruit-in-a-prophylactic does Jon Pertwee resemble most?
The answers to all these questions can only be found here (well, the last one at least... maybe).

036: The Ark
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 29 minutes and 4 seconds"Take them to the Security Kitchen!"
Perhaps the Universe's only combined containment and mass catering facility can be found on The Ark, the location of the 1966 Hartnell space opera of the same name.
Jim and Martin walk its corridors to find humans in their underwear and the Fab Four (along with the Groovy One, the Trendy Two and the Gear Three), all suffering horrendously bad hair days.
The Doctor gets an invisible friend, Steven fails to notice a potential girlfriend and Dodo is unlikely to make any new friends, bearing as she does a vile infection and a variable accent.
Is the future of Mankind in safe hands or should the weirdly affable Boris Karloff and the Richard III wannabe keep one eye on the Monoids? Find out here...

So says a man in a gimp suit deep in the blowholes of Androzani Minor. Yes, Jim and Martin take a look at Peter Davison's last hurrah and finest hour as he goes through hell to save Peri in the 1984 classic The Caves of Androzani.
There's soldiers, gunrunners, androids, a rubbish monster, a revenge-seeking hairy-handed, Peri-infatuated madman and an evil and ruthless bag of slime. Can the Doctor weave his way through them all and save Peri? Only just...
Is it as good as its reputation suggests? Listen in and find out.

034: Revenge of the Cybermen
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 36 minutes and 33 seconds"Harry Sullivan is an imbecile!"
Harsh words perhaps but the salty surgeon did nearly kill the Doctor... twice.
Yes, it's the 1975 space opera, Revenge of the Cybermen, in which our intrepid TARDIS team battle a slimy U-Boat commander, an emotional silver giant and a horde of mad blinged-up old women.
The Doctor's narcoleptic, Harry's apoplectic and Sarah may well go septic so take the slow train with Jim and Martin and see whether all that glitters is gold.

033: Battlefield
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 28 minutes and 3 seconds"Oh shame!"
Just Brigadier Winifred Bambera's catchphrase or also a two-word review of the 1989 Sylvester McCoy story, Battlefield?
You decide as Jim and Martin sit huddled in No Man's Land while iffy dialogue, dodgy acting and poor special effects zing past their tortured eyes and ears, only finding solace in their most puerile running gag yet.
They ponder weighty issues such as the merits of film over video, the mysteries of chemistry, McCoy's anger mismanagement and the messier side of the Brig's descent into senility.
They say all is fair in love and war but is the KP review fair? Listen and decide...

Krynoid Podcast 032: The Sea Devils
Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 30 minutes and 35 secondsYou may already have this. If you do, sorry. If you don't... "I always find that violent exercise makes me hungry. Don't you agree?" Yes, Gallifrey's very own silver-haired and rather wrinkly James Bond is at it again in 1972's salty six-part saga, The Sea Devils. Jim and Martin marvel as the Doctor frolics above, on and below the sea, Jo fights, frets and flies a hovercraft and the Master shows off most of his wardrobe (string vests strangely absent). Mr Creosote rolls in from Whitehall and eats everything in his path, Trenchard bores the hind legs off a donkey and Cap'n Hart offs an alarming amount of amphibians. All that with copious sandwiches thrown in. Who could ask for more from Who?

Episode Duration: 0 days, 2 hours, 42 minutes and 46 seconds"Fail me and you will breakfast on burning coals!"
Count Federico introduces Renaissance Italy's hot new diet sensation in the 1976 pseudo-historical epic, The Masque of Mandragora.

Krynoid Podcast 030: The Romans
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 57 minutes and 30 seconds"Close your eyes and Nero will give you a big surprise!" Yes, Jim and Martin decide whether it's thumbs up or thumbs down for the second season sand & sandals epic, The Romans, featuring a doddery old codger with a lyre (and Maximus Petullian of Corinth). All Roman life is here - lions, gladiators, a shipwrecked galley, a poisoned chalice and a lecherous lunatic of an Emperor. The Doctor plays air lyre, Vicki giggles and Ian and Babs get (possibly) post-coital. Oh well, when in Rome...

Loathe him or loathe him, the young Alzarian first appeared on our screens in Full Circle and here Jim and Martin sift through the wreckage. This Season 18 classic features some dithering old men, a mysterious scab, unscripted animated corpses, (literally) intrusive camera work and The Long Walk of Login.

Krynoid Podcast 027: The King's Demons
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 35 minutes and 50 seconds"Twahce een one deh. Eet eez murst embarrasseeng." The legendary, if incomprehensible, words of the Sir Gilles Estram, the Franco-Indian King's Champion out of The King's Demons! In the latest Krynoid Podcast, Jim and Martin cast their peepers over this Peter Davison 2-parter and ponder the provenance of Anthony Ainley's accent, worry about Kamelion's head falling off and groove to the crazy disco sounds of King John and his Lovely Lute. The Doctor has a sword fight, Tegan moans about the cold and Turlough looks out of a window. Unmissable stuff. And Dr Phill from the Adventures in Time, Space and Music podcast joins us to provide some welcome professionalism. Check it out now!

What's all that about then? It's the Venusian lullaby from The Curse of Peladon of course. In the latest Krynoid Podcast, Jim and Martin take a look at this 1972 Pertwee 4-parter where the third Doctor gets a rare foray off Earth to help a mini-skirted King bring his world out of the dark ages, despite the best efforts of his troublesome High Priest. There are alien creatures galore including the return of the Ice Warriors, the mighty (or not so mighty) Aggedor, a goggle-eyed bogey in a jar... and then there's Alpha Centauri who I can't describe here as it may offend. Lend us your ears!

Krynoid Podcast 025: The Ribos Operation
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 50 minutes and 20 seconds"I'm Romanadvoratrelunder" "I'm so sorry, is there anything we can do?" Jim and Martin are back and this time they take a look at The Ribos Operation, the 1978 Robert Holmes story that kicked off the Key to Time season. In this one we get to see a mad old antler-wearing crone, a giant rubber lizard, a toothless heretic and a pair of galactic conmen attempting to sell a planet to a ranting nobleman. Tom Baker plays it for laughs with varying success and we're introduced to a new assistant - the Doctor's not impressed but your hosts most certainly are! Any good? Well for once there is disagreement, but which one of us is right? Listen in and make your own minds up.

Yes, those dreaded pepperpots are back, this time looking for help from their creator, but Davros isn't playing ball. Listen in as we solve the problem of the disappearing Dalek, discuss the (in)competence of a certain mechanical engineer, consider the toilet habits of Rodney Bewes and try to make sense of a convoluted and hole-ridden plot. Oh, and there's some hilarious death scenes as well...lots of them. Join us!
